My room was clean and comfortable. Even though it was the closest room to the street, inside the room was quiet. Several good restaurants were nearby and a short ride to the beach.

The Local is conveniently located near downtown without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Easy to order Uber eats or Uber rides if you need to it’s also very close to all the shops in restaurants located on A1A. One of my favourite things about The Local is their coffee which is locally sourced from Martin in Jacksonville.

This is a contactless property so basically like an Airbnb, but unless I read wrong, it’s not advertised anywhere, and there was multiple other people who did not know this check-in was not the easiest because they kept sending the wrong code to open the lockbox. Room appeared to be clean towels and bedding are old and tattered, stained there is no housekeeping again not advertised. Rooms are small and basic images are kind of deceiving. They definitely get the good angles walls are extremely thin. I will not be recommending it to anybody. For the cost we could’ve stayed at an Airbnb and had the same amenities for cheaper.

Stayed here for two nights over New Year’s Eve. This is an older style motel that sits right on a busy road. The walls are somewhat thin as you do hear road noise and your neighbors. Highly recommend staying on a top floor on the backside of the motel. Obviously the pool is not heated so I did not use it but it is a super cute area and would probably be very refreshing in the summer months. You are close enough for a healthy walk over the “bridge of lions” into historic downtown or conveniently rent one of the bicycles from the motel. The motel is in a very walkable area to restaurants and bars. Would recommend staying here for an inexpensive option close to the historic downtown area.

Very charming old fashioned motel. The rooms are on the smaller side but they worked for us. The pool area was great! Air conditioning was good too. We had to actually turn it way down at night.

This motel was extremely dirty, as shown in the pictures I included. One of the towels was stained, there was a small stain on the sheets, and we also found a few hairs on the bed. The floor was dirty—I walked barefoot for just a few minutes and my feet were black afterward. It felt like any cheap motel, just decorated in a cuter way.
The check-in system was very quick and easy, which was a plus. We were only here for a few hours during a road trip, but if you’re planning to stay longer, I wouldn’t recommend it.

This was my second stay here in 6 months and I love it here!! It is so clean, beds are comfortable, amenities are great and location is perfect. There is no front desk staff, but there is someone who texts you throughout your stay to make sure you don't need anything, and this works perfectly. Highly recommend The Local
