Nice hotel, nothing to complain about. Could use a bit more maintenance but still fine. Very well located just across the street from the beach so you can keep your car there. Hotel and room are clean. Decent breakfast. Expedia mentioned that there was a charging station for electric cars but there is none.

Very clean hotel & a comfortable setting. Staff was far above standards - very accommodating. Everything in the room worked - not something you experience often! Plenty of towels etc. breakfast was very good & the area was very clean. Hot coffee & water on demand 24/7 a huge plus! Highly recommend this hotel for an economical choice of non-brand hotels!

the hotel is in a great location. steps away from the beach and two local bar/restaurants with wonderful live music. Breakfast available each morning in the lobby. Less than a 10 min drive from the main dining/shopping area of Fernandina. the hotel rooms do need better maintenance and upkeep. tub faucet dripping frequently despite turning handle as much as possible and toilet seat was falling off. odd musty smell at times. overall the rest of the hotel was clean and guests were courteous. hotel does have an outdoor pool for guests.

Very pleasant surprise for the price! Great breakfast with nice selection including scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes. Room was spacious with comfortable beds. It’s an older building that’s had upgrades and needs just a little more fixing but nothing to complain about in any way. Staff was very friendly and the beach is just across the street. If we ever come back to Amelia we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

This hotel looked ok from the pictures I saw when I booked it. It was something of a disappointment however. It is across the street from a beach, which is a plus. But there’s not too much within walking distance. The downtown area of Fernandina Beach is a short drive away. But the hotel is just plain old. And it’s just hard to make an old place look clean and nice. Room and bathroom needed some repairs. The A/C was annoying as it was noisy and ran constantly. Bed was ok though. I came away thinking I’d paid too much for this room.

Stayed here for one night had a great view of the ocean with a balcony. There were some kind of mildew or something above the bed on ceiling.. room itself was nice, smelled ok and the bed was comfortable, the location was great within walking distance to sliders which was awesome. The free hot breakfast was really good. Staff was friendly. We did not go to the pool..did not think it was that great as it was facing parking lot. Free cookies were yummy! Nice relaxing getaway!

Hotel room stank of mildew. Absolutely awful. Parking was fine and beach was across the street. There was hot water. If you do stay here the smell alleviated a bit with the fan turned on. Reminded me of places I stayed at as a kid as we toured the country in Econolodges. For one night it was ok but I certainly wouldn’t come here for vacation.

Pros: friendly staff, good location. Cons: first room we received smelled horribly of mold and mildew. The shower was moldy. The wall was rotten next to the shower. We asked for a second room but decided to check it out first. The second room we were shown was also moldy and there was a TURD in the shower. Got a third room. Wasn’t moldy but was dirty. The entire hotel was dirty. Managed to get 5 hours of sleep on top of the comforter in my clothes before checking out as soon as we woke up. The hallways had little bits of trash and stuff spilled on the floor that was sticky. The ice machine was leaking water everywhere. The room was very dusty. The bathroom was dirty. Mildew on the shower curtain. Will not be back.

Our stay at this hotel while on vacation was not all bad. I just feel that the owners tried to cheaply remodel an old motel and make it nice on top of the bad without fixing the problems. PROS: Great location, great breakfast, accommodating staff. CONS: Mildew on curtains, lamps, etc., nasty towels, SMALL trash can, small pool, loud early morning noises from restaurant across the street.

Pros: Location, Large TV, fridge/microwave Cons: Not well kept, rude front desk, breakfast is typical instant eggs/bacon. For $270/night, this place is not worth it. We paid extra for the view, the blowing AC is front of the window while sitting on the edge of the bed For this upgrade, there should be chairs w/ a table to enjoy the view. Plus the windows are internally fogged up. The bathroom looked liked one from a gas station. The only positive is the large tv and fridge/microwave. The front desk staff is rude and the building is not well kept. The free breakfast is your typical artificial eggs and microwave bacon. I suggest staying elsewhere to enjoy Fernandina Beach. We paid $100 less for a better room at Best Western.
