Downtown Jacksonville is 14 miles away, while the city’s international airport is some 22 miles northwest.
The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a business center and meeting facilities. The property also includes an outdoor parking area with EV charging stations.

Although MACO’s main operations involve the development, construction and management of affordable housing, the Missouri-based company is no stranger to the hospitality sector. In June, the firm paid $11.3 million for the 119-key Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Deerwood Park, another Jacksonville property. And a several months earlier, MACO purchased Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham, a 130-key hotel in Birmingham, Ala., for $15.5 million.
Meanwhile in Florida, the hospitality industry continued to record notable transactions. One of them was the $300 million sale of InterContinental Miami, which was acquired by Gencom and White Bridge Capital earlier this month.
