Frommer's Review
Set on the Southbank Riverwalk, this 10-story tower was famous for its Elvis Presley Suite, where the King purportedly stayed half a dozen times between 1955 and 1976 when this establishment was known as the Jacksonville Hotel. Funny, but it still looks as if it's steeped in the 1970s even though the hotel was renovated in 2006. Units have dark-wood furniture, Tempur-Pedic mattresses, and smallish marble bathrooms. Riverfront rooms have balconies (those on the west end catch traffic noise from the Main St. Bridge). A branch of Ruth's Chris Steak House offers extraordinarily tender beef.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; heated outdoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; concierge; business center; limited room service; laundry service; concierge-level rooms

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
