This hotel was just okay. It was within walking distance from the beach, which was good. But so many other things were just okay. Breakfast was to best served 7:30-9:30--we went down at 9 everything but rubber eggs was gone. Not even might for cereal. Rooms are only serviced by request. It cost over $12 to park. We have been going to Amelia for over 20 years and never had to pay to park. Beds were comfortable and it was quiet.

Our room was clean. It was close to the beach. I went for a walk every morning and the property was close enough for me to walk to the beach. The area was safe and close to the main beach area and a couple of restaurants. The staff was nice, friendly, and helpful.

This was a perfectly decent option for price, location & cleanliness. My only gripe about the hotel was that you have to pay an extra fee for parking daily. Kinda lame seeing you're already paying for the hotel, but oh well. All& all, pleasant stay !

Great hotel!

The hotel is right at the beach next to a Circle K gas station and two restaurants on either side. Very convenient. Good location. Plenty of parking. Please note that there is an extra fee of about $13 a night to park that I didn't know about. The lobby was clean and bright and was also where the included breakfast would be in the mornings. The breakfast was GREAT. Juices and hot food as well as bagels/toast/muffins/cereal. There is a pool that was very clean and great at the end of the day. My room was spacious and clean. Beds were comfortable. There's nothing bad I can say about my stay here.

I came down for one day business trip and decided to bring my family. I just randomly chose this hotel and it was awesome. I will definitely come back and stay again. I couldn’t ask for anything more from the rate to the hotel the cleaning this their room was exactly as described, and it was well clean. I will definitely stay again. My only concern was there was no meat option to choose from in the breakfast buffet, but that’s the only thing I gotta worry about life is good.
