Beachside Motel - Amelia Island (Fernandina Beach, USA)

The location of this hotel is one of its best features. Close to the sea, with a great view and near all the local attractions. Not all the rooms have views, but the location is so pleasing that the sea views from the hotel are a great bonus.

The staff here is friendly, professional and helpful, with a great customer service ethic. Each member of the staff goes out of his or her way to ensure the comfort of the guests and also to ensure that they have a memorable stay here. Hilda and Myra, in particular, are members of the staff who are remembered by name and are great favorites with the regular guests, because of their caring attitude and personal interest.

The rooms are super clean, up to date and very well maintained. The hotel has this wonderful, shiny, new look due to a recent refurbishment. The housekeeping standard is very high here and the staff members work hard to keep maintain it.

A free breakfast is provided by the motel, consisting of coffee, with some breakfast sweets (pastries). While this breakfast is much appreciated, some guests feel that the breakfast choice is very limited, with no juice available and no healthier options.

Although this is a non-smoking motel, there are designated smoking areas. These areas are quite irritating to people who have an aversion to smoking and it has been mentioned that smoking should be banned completely from the property.

It has been found that the bathrooms are quite compact, which may be fine for guests who are shorter or smaller. However, guests who are larger find the bathrooms a bit confining.
