Spend a night only

Shoney's Restaurant - very good.

The hotel check in staff was first rate. The housekeeping staff was very hard to communicate with since they spoke very little english. The bed was not comfortable to spend more than one night on. Yet the Shoney's restaurant right next door was very nice.

Problems with the room

Anonymous

Ocean is only 2 blocks away

The Best Western Fernandina Beach presented us a few problems: The card key to the room quit working, and we had to move to another room,very inconvenient, even though maintenence came quickly. However, they could not fix the lock. the second room was much nicer, and newer (the first room was pretty run down, and had not been renovated). There were no elevators, and at our age we needed one to get the luggage upstairs. The location was nice, but the price was a little high based on the overall age and condition of the facility.

Friendly staff

Shoneys right next door

Best Western Amelia Island was your average hotel room. Staff was very pleasant. We had a problem with the smoke alarm, maintance came to the room within minutes. Very helpful. Very good location for the beach, only a block away.

Neither comfortable nor clean

The exterior of the hotel was good but the room was not clean. The carpet needed to be replaced or shampooed. The fixtures were dusty. The couch was uncomfortable. The mattress was terrible. We had planned to stay two nights and left after the first night. We did not stay in the area so did not investigate restaurants or shopping.

Very close to beach

Downtown had some nice little shops.

The Best Western at Ameila Island had a very friendly hotel staff and was walking distance to a great beach. I didn't know until we got there but we had a mini kitchen in our room which was helpful so we didn't have to eat out the whole trip. The only thing i was not impressed with in the room was that the carpet needed to be shampooed b/c by the evening you had black feet.I loved that they allowed dog to stay with us in the room.

Great Value for your Money

walking distance to beach, fresh seafood, and a short drive to local attractions & shopping.

I was very please w/ the overall experience. The location was excellent, .5mi from beach! The rooms were very clean & the pool was sparkling clean! I will say we did have a problem w/ the room key. I got locked out 4x!! The staff kept asking me to try the key again (after they activated it each time). I was in a hurry to a rehearsal dinner, finally after 4 times, someone physically went to my room & realized the battery was dead, they had to replace the entire locking system in our room! While they did address the problem promptly, I guess I expected more on the customer service side of things. I would still recommend Best Western again.

Overall Good Hotel

Make sure you eat at Barbara Jean's. It's right after the bridge on the right side of the road.

The Best Western Inn at Amelia Island was very comfortable. It is in a good location, within walking distance of the public beach. There are also several restaurants nearby. If you like sports bars, they have a great one.
