Center cut NY Strip steak with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, 1 one beer and tip, $86.... 1 meal, 1 person......

Nothing personal, but why downtown Jax for a getaway?  I worked down there for 30 yrs and the place is deader than Generallisimo Franco (he's still dead, right?).  It's a great place to get away from, not to.  And, its worse since Covid.  But, to each his own.  Glad you enjoyed it.

Well, I lived in Jax for a long while years ago so I pretty much knew what the downtown was like. I more or less knew the places I wanted to go to while I was there and that hotel was more or less in the middle of everything so...... If I were to stay at another hotel outside of downtown, I probably would have spent that much and maybe more on Z-trip/Uber fares so......
