Great Getaway

Convient location to beach and downtown shops. Hotel room was nicely furnished and clean. Staff was quick to respond to request for additional pillows and towels. Since two wedding parties were also staying at the hotel, breakfast space was limited. Overall a great getaway.

A Independent Hotel with a great location

I just loved spending two nights in this hotel. We had room 212, which has a balcony. The view from the balcony was primarily of the local scene across the street at Sliders sea food place and bar, although we enjoyed seeing the ocean beyond and the fresh sea breezes coming through our room. This hotel is more like hotels were when I was growing up, each room is slightly different and the spaces are much larger for bathrooms and refrigerator/coffee/microwave station. This hotel was convenient, great beach access and the staff was very nice. I will be staying again!

Close to the beach.

The hotel is literally right across the street from the beach access and park, as well as a restaurant/bar. Several miles away from the downtown area. The hotel has decent rooms, friendly staff, and a small, basic pool. The air conditioner in the room was weak. Would stay here again.

Great hotel, great location!

I wasn't sure what to expect, but the hotel was great. Right across the street from the beach and not to far from the other Ameilia Island actvities.

Check-in was smooth. Room was upgraded and view was super. Location can't be beat along with the weather. I can spend every night in the tiki bar at Spinners. Will book here everytime we go to Amelia Island.
