San Marco is nearby with several upscale dining and bar options. Riverside and the Five Points area is cool (think Marigny/Hipster vibe). Atlantic Beach/Ponte Vedra/Fernandina Beach/St. Augustine (all about 30min. drives). Downtown sucks but there is River City Brewing nearby your hotel - the downtown workers hit it up for happy hour during weekdays.
I haven't lived there in a while so I don't have current recommendations except for areas worth exploring that I mentioned.

You are right next to San Marco so thats where you need to spend most of your time. Lots of cool restaurants - a couple tapas places and some good bars. Been a while since I been there.
Just across the river, off the riverside exit, is five points. Another nice area to take a stroll that is about 7 min drive from your hotel.
The landing, literally across the river out the windo from your hotel , is pretty cool. I think Paris Hilton had a nightclub there if your into that kind of thing. Its worth a trip over there.
I would still take a day and go down to the beach. Get on hwy. 90 (beach blvd) just down from your hotel and take it all the way down. Will take you about 20-25. Beach blvd ends right into Jax Beach, there is a pier and some restaurants and bars. Jax Beach is a really cool place. Angies Subs is on beach just before it ends. I cant recommend it enough , its a great local surf place and has a great feel for the local jax beach crowd
