Hampton Inn & Suites Amelia Island-Historic Harbor Front

Very nice check in, breakfast, and location. The bedding and pillows were wonderful and it was quiet.

Well it’s always great but this time they were doing construction and a little inconvenience but not bad

A good get away !

Great Location. Breakfast area very nice. Bed very comfortable

Ate breakfast at a little cafe up the road. It was excellent!

Great location and very friendly staff

I spend 3 nights at this property while in the area for business. The hotel is ideally located, with lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The waterfront rooms have a lovely view! The complimentary breakfast was very good, with a variety of options that changed daily.

We spent two nights at this charming hotel. The property feels more like a boutique hotel than a Hampton Inn. We were in just a standard room, but the property does have some suites, a few even have balconies.

They had a manager's reception in the evening in the breakfast area, which is on the second floor, overlooking the pool. Went out on the pool deck for sunset over the harbor and the view was simply stunning.

There seems to be ample parking and they have an overflow lot, too. Street parking used to be free, but that's changing soon. Tip: If you park in the back by the railroad tracks and the harbor, there are some covered parking spots, a covered smoking area, and a back door to get in and out of the hotel that's more convenient than dragging your belongings around to the front entrance.

The location can't be beat. There are like five restaurants right across the street from the front lobby.

The historic district is fantastic for strolling, eating/drinking, shopping, or just people watching. Very pet-friendly and I can't believe how many places serve ice cream there! Everyone is walking around eating ice cream! Many stores have to post signs stating you can't bring your ice cream inside!

Great happy hour at a place called "The Patio" a few blocks away. Get the Drunken Cheesy Bread. Thank me later.

I was kinda surprised that the marina area behind the hotel seems so depressed, with a shuttered restaurant/store building that once must have been the crown jewel on the waterfront. But there is construction nearby on what we were told will be a new boardwalk to help revitalize the marina. Maybe that building is scheduled for renovations, too.

And the pirate statue outside of the visitor center is gone! A sign said it was taken for restoration at a museum. There are plans for a new pirate statue on that boardwalk they're building.

This hotel is impossible to book for the annual Shrimp Festival. I called to get on the waiting list last July. Repeat guests get first dibs at reservations... I guess they never had to pull anyone from the waiting list.

So, we decided to just visit now during a slower time of year. Glad we did.

It was a girlfriend's getaway and it was our first time in Amelia Island. We picked this hotel because of its location and it was ideal. We could walk everywhere in the historic district which is full of shops, galleries, museums and restaurants. The staff at the hotel was friendly and the included breakfast was good. The breakfast lounge was clean and comfortable overlooking the pool. We stayed in a suite with a balcony overlooking 2nd street. It was lovely!
Main Beach is about a 10 minute drive as is Fort Clinch State Park which is historic and has several trails.
This is THE place to stay in downtown Fernandina Beach!

Probably our favorite Hampton Inn we've ever stayed at (multiple times, multiple seasons) and that's saying something considering we've driven cross country 4 times staying in Hilton Properties! Yes, there are train tracks nearby and you may be awakened in the morning by the gate bells and train horn but the location and views and hospitality more than make up for that. Friendly staff, warm cookies at check in, nightly hospitality gathering and breakfast included are nice touches. This boutique hotel is walking distance for great food and drink options in a charming town just right for exploring when the weather is right. Drinks around the pool at sunset can't be beat!

We arrived early and our selected room wasn’t ready, but the nice woman working the desk upgraded us to a suite that was ready! Our suite had a view of the water - lots of sailboats to watch and also American Cruise Lines ships coming and going.

This is an older hotel but still nice. One design flaw is that there is no door to block the light over the sink area which is outside the toilet/shower area. Makes it hard at night if sharing a room. Breakfast buffet had everything you could think. Food was good. We were greeted by a very friendly woman.

Location is excellent. Center St is just around the corner and filled with shops, restaurants and bars. We ate at Espana and had excellent food.

Location is fantastic.

I love the convenience and fabulous breakfast
