What a treat to stay on the beach after spending the same amount staying at a hotel with a view of I-75 just a few days before! Both of ladies at the desk during our visit were very attentive and pleasant. Love the free breakfast and parking, but not as much as the sunset and sunrise from the roof!
I rented the partial ocean view suite. The bed was comfy and the ac was cold. The balcony is very small which I knew and overlooks the parking lot with the ocean off to your right. The bathroom is tight. The first night they didn’t have the room I booked so had to stay in a standard pool view room that night and then moved the next day to the room I booked a month or so prior. Received a $50 gift card to local restaurant to compensate for room price diff. The staff is very nice and the breakfast is good. They could use some new towels in the bathrooms as they are thin and worn lol. Overall I liked the hotel because it was clean, dog friendly and the ocean was right there. My room averaged $250 night with taxes which is about right for what you get. It’s not luxurious by any means, but it was a nice hotel. I would stay there again.
Started with the rude counter, check in person. The room had filthy carpet that was coming up at the doorways bathroom had mold. Air conditioning was extremely loud. Way too pricey for what we had.
Great location. Staff truly went above qnd beyond. I had a sea gull fly into the front of my SUV. It was stuck in the grill. A gentleman employee offered to assist. He and another employee were able to remove it and cleaned up my car too. Great experience.
We really enjoyed our stay! The suite was beautiful, spacious, and it seemed like all the rooms had at least a partial ocean view. Breakfast was included, and they even offered cookies at check-in, which was a nice touch. It's just a short walk to the beach—exactly why we chose this place.
I also liked that the Sandbar is nearby, but unfortunately, the smell of fried food was noticeable around the hotel. The pool is pretty small.

Great location and proximity to beach.
After checking in, I found that Our shower was not cleaned properly, although the entire floor had a strong disinfectant type odor which took some getting used to. After mentioning the mildew at the front desk, it was immediately taken care of by maintenance. The couch looked like it could use a good cleaning because it had a stain on it which I guess may be permanent. And the door handle to the balcony was a little loose. All staff were always very pleasant and helpful, but the hotel could definitely use more attention to detail since it is an older building. The location was excellent and breakfast was decent. Underground parking is tight for a large pickup.
This place was really nice and the included breakfast was really good prepared by a wonderful sweet lady whom made myself and family very comfortable,
We definitely will be back for more days oh and the FREE parking is a huge plus
Great location, nice, clean, breakfast area. Food was goid, multiple options & varied the menu daily. Love the shell rinsing station! Only suggestion is a full length mirror in the room please. Will definitely recommend & hope to return!

Seaside Amelia Inn is a hit in Amelia Island!
I enjoyed my time at the Seaside Amelia Inn!
The location was perfect-right on the beach and super easy to get to downtown. All of the staff I encountered were super friendly and answered all questions/concerns.
The breakfast was perfect! Lots of options and a great add (one less thing I didn't have to think about). Parking was never an issue and was so nice that it was free.
My room was just fine. Nice cold AC (a must in July in Florida), nice sized mini-fridge, Keurig and microwave were all a nice add to the room. The sofa had seen better days and the carpeting needed a good shampoo (just old, not necessarily dirty). Towels and bedding were clean and adequately stocked. I did use the "door hanger" to request additional towels and coffee and this was a great no contact process. Overall, I would recommend staying at Seaside Amelia Inn. It was a no frillls situation but worked perfectly for what I was doing.
