Guest Access:

The Neighborhood:
Springfield is amazing! It is a diverse, vibrant, up and coming neighborhood located just north of Jacksonville's downtown. You'll initially fall in love with the gorgeous late 19th/early 20th century houses but you'll want to stay for the amazing people. Join a First Friday party, check out the weekly Main Street cruise, downtown's Art Walk, Porchfest if you're in town in the fall, or one of the yearly home tours.
Conveniently situated just a few blocks away from Main St, you'll find yourself surrounded by local attractions. Explore the local breweries, indulge in delicious meals at the restaurants, savor the aroma of freshly brewed coffee at the local shops, treat yourself to pastries at one of several local bakeries.
Getting Around:
Springfield is a great neighborhood for walking and biking!
Jacksonville's Skyway, with limited service around the Urban Core area is a half mile to the south and is co-located with Jacksonville's central bus station.
Ride sharing services are also great options as well and driving is preferable for areas well outside of central Jax (St Augustine, Brunswick, Gainesville, etc.)
Other Things to Note:
To help ensure a smooth, secure, and enjoyable stay for all guests, please review the following important information before booking:
