Find hotels near Fernandina Beach in Amelia Island (FL), United States

This may be a Hampton Inn, but clearly they have made an effort to incorporate some of the elements that make the local B&B's so successful. On top of friendly and accommodating staff, the entry has some lovely design details like a circular staircase, fireplace and nautical compass ceiling mural that give the place a lot of warmth and charm. That local charm blended with the comfort, amenities and familiarity of a traditional hotel experience makes this into a really relaxing stay. The stellar element of this hotel however has to be the location. It provides you easy and free parking in downtown Fernandina, and is extremely walkable. Right out the front door are many charming locations, and any where else you may want to go are only a few blocks away. Even if you wanted to take a trip to the beach, it would be a short 8 minute drive or uber ride. This was my second stay in this Hampton, and I have never had anything other than a positive experience.

The front desk was the counter in the restaurant. There was a door to the adjoining room which was unlocked; we had total access to the room next door. The only thing securing us from being accessed was a latch which a 10 year-old could break through. The shower had mold, but the rest was fairly clean. The room and bathroom were very small. The room had two beds, but no chair or table. This motel is NOT on the beach, but it is within walking distance from public access. If I had to stay on Amelia Island and only had $100 I would stay there again, but I'm not going back with only $100.
