Family wedding

Our stay here was convenient for the wedding we were in town to attend. We loved the view and the quietness there however the place definitely is an older beach motel. It could definitely use some updating.

2nd stay here

This was my second stay here with my wife, and was good all in all. This is an older style motel but theyve done a pretty good job of maintaining and updating. It actually has a bit of a sentimental, retro feel. Has always been clean. Can't beat the ocean front location (especially for the price). Staff has always been extremely kind, friendly, and helpful - except the morning we checked out this stay. Unfortunately the attendant seemed annoyed to be there, was very late putting out continental breakfast and coffee (we couldn't wait after checking multiple timee and had to stop elsewhere for coffee), and wasn't very helpful when asked about getting a room receipt. We all have bad days and we'll assume this was the case for her. We would stay here again - sufficent, clean room with a good location for the money.

Good place to stay

The room was clean and comfortable. The property is located right on fernandina beach. While you may not be able to see the beach from your room, a few steps out the door will bring it into view and a short walk down the path will put you right on the beach. The property was quiet. There was a restaurant right across the street and many more in short driving distance. We were happy with the stay and would definitely consider staying again if we are in the area.

This hotel had a nice view. Could be fine but here were my observations…Remember four rooms in this hotel have a nice view that’s it so you have to make sure you pick the ocean view rooms. My room had a kitchenette, but did not have a microwave. The room was a little dated and had a you smell in it. The Internet did not work in my room for our two days, I asked them to reset it. They really didn’t accommodate me with that, but I mean my phone had Internet and I used hotspot. It was fine. It was freezing cold outside, so I was just curious if the pool was heated and they said no..no biggie. They were very generous with their snacks that they had in the lobby I think for the money I paid for the ocean view with kitchenettewould’ve probably stayed somewhere else But they might’ve had the best deal in town! The room was cozy. The heat worked well.
