A hotel with entertainment, dining, live music, and a historic harbor/waterfront less than a football field away? This hotel pulls it off! Stand on the sidewalk just outside the office and there are a plethora of restaurants and entertainment right there in view. An eclectic multitude of local stores and shops, each with their own unique flair are accessible with just a short walk of a few minutes. Right behind the hotel, just across a rail line is the harbor and waterfront with a terrific view of the sunset over the Amelia River. The location alone gives this hotel a terrific value. Inside, the room was smaller than a lot of newer hotels I've stayed at, but the room was clean and well kept. There was one small piece of corner trim board pulled loose right next to the bed, but that was the only flaw I noticed. Breakfast was included with waffles, omelets, pastries, cereal, and fruit available along with a great view of the waterfront from the breakfast area. Parking is quite tight and requires a parking permit from the hotel office. The drive around the hotel is VERY narrow, and the lot fills up quick. If you can't find a spot in the parking lot or along the driveway, check the gravel overflow lot UNDER the building on the back side of the hotel. There are several spots underneath building right on the ground level. No matter if you're coming to Fernandina/Amelia Island for the shopping, the nightlife, or the beach, give this hotel a look.
