Excellent location, clean well managed property.
Pros:

The room was clean and much larger than expected. The balcony was great, partial view of the ocean and beach, but also the rooftop of the restaurant next door. The location was perfect, just steps to the beach for sunrise walks. The free breakfast was really good and had a lot of variety.

Cons:

The AC air handler filter was dated 3 years prior and the wiring for the thermostat was just hanging inside the closet where the air handler was placed. They really need to up their maintenance of the AC.

Hotel was fine, hotel environment not so much!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The way we were treated by the staff. Whoever answers your phone there, shouldn't be. Rude, no customer service skills.

Just what we needed. It was so tranquil and so convenient to just walk straight out to the beach.
Pros:

Location directly on beach. Front staff were very friendly. Rooms were simple but adequate. Breakfast was adequate and dining area was kept very clean.

Cons:

Parking garage was very cramped even with our small car. There were areas that had more room, but were always taken.
Television did not offer streaming.

Beautiful location, good view, clean facility, friendly staff.
Pros:

Its location relative to the fort and other sights.

Cons:

I feel like overall it was excellent, just some small maintenance things I noticed like rust around the shower, the room door having to be pulled really hard to engage the lock, the porch door wouldn't latch from the handle so we had to consistently keep the dead bolt engaged to keep the door from opening.

Florida Sunrises are worth the travel.
Pros:

The beach is amazing. Amelia Island has a beautiful state park with a three mile scenic drive showcasing the lovely Live Oaks and other marine ecosystem plants and animals. The restaurants in Fernandina Historic District are first class.

Cons:

The booking was botched by Booking.com which created some unpleasantness that was resolved by the innkeeper.
The room and bathroom were very small by American standards. No place for luggage to be unpacked and put away.

Great time with our grandson. We will definitely be bad.
Pros:

The location is great. The room was comfortable and big enough and had a great ocean view.

Cons:

The breakfast was not as good as it has been in the past. The $20/n parking seems a bit excessive.

Seaside Amelia Inn offers a pleasant stay for a couple of days.
Pros:

Breakfast was ok. Biscuits and gravy was a nice touch but the suits did not hold together in the toaster when trying to warm them up.

Location was good.

Cons:

The scrambled eggs appeared to be rehydrated and did not have flavor. The fruit appeared to be canned fruit, not fresh.
