This Hampton Inn location is a fairly
typical, mid-range roadside chain property with three floors of generally bland decor. Guest
rooms are basic, clean, and comfortable. Staff and
service are highly rated for their attentiveness and helpfulness with
information about restaurants and historic downtown. Amenities include free
Wi-Fi and a standard breakfast, and the hotel is also close to Fernandina Beach. A meeting room, average business center, and small pool are on hand as well, though there’s no fitness center.

Scene
Typical chain hotel with generic chain decor that sits on a major road to the beach.
Trees surround the property, giving its
exterior and parking lot a pleasant, natural setting. The inn sits on a popular
route to the beach, a four-lane road with a dividing turning lane that terminates
into a roundabout. Nearby roads are well maintained and house businesses, private
residences, and other hotels. Inside, the inn has typical chain decor and
a straight singular hallway on each floor. The front area of the lobby hosts
both the reception desk and a large breakfast area with dark wood tables and
patterned seating in blue. This Hampton Inn is ultimately designed to appeal to
a broad range of short-term travelers, including tourists and business
travelers. Kudos have been given to staff members for their attentiveness and helpfulness in terms of exploring area haunts.
Location
Short drive to historic district and dining establishments
This Fernandina Beach property is highly
convenient to accessing eastern shore sea and sand. Just down Sadler
Road, there are several casual food establishments like Dairy Queen and Cedar
River Seafood as well as fine-dining options like La Mancha. The historic
district is a 10-minute drive north, where visitors will drive pass
characteristic buildings and mansions. (Another Hampton Inn location is part of
this district and close to the Amelia Island Museum of History.) Once in this area, hungry diners will want to visit Le Clos and
España Restaurant & Tapas. Of the activities on Fernandina Beach itself,
Fort Clinch and Egan's Creek Greenway, both to the north, offer the most scenic
escapes and relaxing activities.
Rooms
Standard rooms include flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, and Neutrogena toiletries
The 81 guest units here are clean with no
signs of mold or musty odors, but walls are thin to the point where visitors can
hear slight muffles from neighboring guests.
Rooms are conveniently appointed with small 25-inch flat-screen TVs, microwaves,
mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Work desks are a pleasant addition for professional
guests. Bathrooms include hairdryers, shower/tub combos, and Neutrogena
toiletries. Room categories also include two-room suites with luxuries like private
balconies, whirlpools, and fireplaces, though they don’t have kitchens or
kitchenettes.
Features
Business center and small pool along with free breakfast and Wi-Fi.
A small, standard business center space is available
for company travelers or anyone needing access to e-mail, a printer, and/or
mailing services. The pool area is decent with its patio seating and loungers and is certainly a plus for anyone hoping
to enjoy a swim without going to the beach, but it’s a tad small for large
groups. Free breakfast is included in room rates with a selection that includes
fresh fruits, pastries, oatmeal, cereal, coffee, and juices. A self-serve
waffle maker is on hand as well. For those in a hurry, the hotel has pre-bagged
snack and breakfast options. Free Wi-Fi is available.
