Pros:

Location was excellent. walking distance to shops & dining was perfect.

Cons:

I really didn't like the breakfast staff breaking down the breakfast buffet as I attempted to get my breakfast. Literally as I reached for the muffins, they were whisked away by staff that obviously wanted to be somewhere else. I understand that the buffet ended at 9:00am however, it was 9:05am when I arrived in line with a full house attempting to eat. For the coat of my stay you could do better.

Quiet room except for train that passes right under your window in the morning.

Great location for walking, great views of the river and lots of amenities.
Pros:

The hotel’s location is perfect for walking everywhere in the historic harbor town. There are several excellent restaurants in the immediate area. The views of the river are great, and the sunsets are spectacular. The hotel offers many amenities, including a daily social hour with substantial snacks and half price wine and beer.

The pool is small but spectacularly clean and inviting. Plenty of towels available and a convenient changing room.

Noise level is at a minimum, the walls are thick enough to muffle almost all sound from adjacent rooms and the outdoor noises.

There is a sense of history all around and while the hotel has some signs of age, the amenities are all totally up to date.
Coffee and tea available in the lobby all day.

Several of the other guests told me that this is the hotel they return to for every visit to Amelia Island and we will also return again.

Absolutely perfect in every way.
Pros:

Everything about my stay here was just perfect. Jessica and Eric at the front desk were super friendly and very helpful. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s only one block away from Centre Street with all of the shopping. A few blocks in each direction, you’ll find amazing restaurants and a lot of cute patio bars and live music. It’s located right on the Harbour so I was able to sit outside every evening and watch the sunset. The hotel offers a free breakfast every morning that changed daily. There were plenty of selections and everything was fresh and kept stocked really well. There’s also an evening reception with free snacks and half priced beer and wine. The room was clean and spacious and extremely comfortable. When I had one minor maintenance issue, they took care of it right away. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will stay here every time I visit Fernandina Beach.

Good
Pros:

Great room and location. Super comfortable.

Cons:

The EV charging was extremely expensive. Highest I ever paid at any hotel property when it’s not complimentary. This location charged $49.68 for only 14.5 KWh or to plugged in for 1 hr and 46 min… this is super strange and not something I’ve seen at other properties especially when ev charging is advertised as a benefit of staying at this property. For example the night before I stayed at a Disney resort, same ChargePoint system, and was only charged $7.03 for 20.07 KWh which is about the normal rate…
