Days Inn & Suites Amelia Island At The Beach

Not such a great place to stay. The Hampton next door is wayyyyyy better and cheaper usually. Our stay felt like a negotiation. The second day management told us (4 adults) that we needed to switch rooms because they were doing renovations. We just got there and unpacked practically for a weeks stay. They tried to move us into a room with broken AC. Then a room with a king and pullout couch. You’ve got to be kidding me! 4 adults in a two bed double room downgrading onto a pull out couch. Get out of here! On top of that, the water was cut off from 11AM-​4PM during our stay so balancing beach time and going out was a challenge. Coffee was in the rooms is horrible and management knows. The lady at breakfast agreed and said the coffee at breakfast is better. Alright. If you know this is an issue and common complaint you would think the hotel manager would act. Hope never to stay again.

If you expect a good night’s sleep you won’t get it here. If you expect to have things in good working order you won’t find that here either. The sink faucet wobbled, The shower went cold. The refrigerator behind a cabinet under the TV made such a loud noise we had to unplug it to get some sleep. To top it off — you know those large trash bins that are in the corner parking lots of restaurants and similar places? Well… it was about 50 yards from our front door. A truck picked up the trash at 2:15 AM. Those things are LOUD.
The only draw of this place is how close it is to the beach. But compromise is in order and this was my last stay here…

Don’t go here. I have been coming to this joint for 20 years under different managements, of course. It’s biggest draw is convenient location at a 2 block walk to a very nice beach. This past time I decided to never return. And we did talk to the manager who was nice but not able to put things right. Maintenance was apologetic but unhelpful. Additionally, Fernandina area has really gone down this year — more litter on beach, fewer businesses open, crazy slow traffic due to terrible road/construction.Things they screwed up all in one 4 day visit:
*Reserved 2 ground floor rooms month in advance due to disability — nope, and no elevator
*No water in rooms 12−4pm
*Unsafe and insecure railings which was a big deal considering how much the people who didn’t need to be climbing stairs had to depend on them.
*Door to room would not close/​lock at all — couldn’t leave stuff in room
*Said they would fix door — did not attempt, ended up changing rooms.
*Bathtub broken, cannot bathe
*Phone had no buttons on it in one room, no dial tone in other room.
*The walls are incredibly thin, and there were lots of dogs (This may be a plus if you bring a dog.) Never noticed dogs there before this year.
*Couldn’t get wifi to work
*Huge group set up right outside my door with loud amplifiers/​speakers drunkenly singing and playing guitar during bedtime.
*Noisy construction during the day
*Wrong number of beds in the room
*My breakfast was cornflakes mislabeled as frosted flakes
*And get this — the inspector from the city (renewing their code) was in the lobby while we were there. He was talking about how the manager was avoiding him and how many violations he found. He was pissed.

AWFUL! I did leave my watch and phone charger– my bad, of course. But After a week of endless calling them and leaving me hanging (each time I had to wait for their room keeping lady to come back so that they could give me a call back, which never happened) they finally said that no, they don’t have those items. Why couldn’t they tell me that at the first place that they will not bother looking for those items…

excellent price for a hotel close to the beach… especially during the summer
$ 89 + fees for a comfortable king bed, clean bathroom, tv, air unit, and full kitchen.

They are trying to update and make it nicer– but the grounds still need a ton of work — cigarette butts were everywhere– very dirty — the outside back of the hotel had trash and boxes everywhere — really disgusting ! I requested a rollaway bed and it was very very rusted and dirty — I paid $ 263.94 for a very mediocre room and I met other people that paid ½ that rate with double the people in their room — when I asked to speak with a manager about my rate /​I was told he was not there ! I Would not recommend this hotel and it was not worth the money I paid — very very disappointed ! The man working the breakfast was nice and Jennifer who took my original reservation was very sweet ! That’s why I’m giving two stars — otherwise I would not waste your money!!! I hope they clean this place up!

Nice for the price– mic, fridge, breakfast, laundromat, bar, mini putting green, mex rest, pool, spa, walk to the beach

Room was clean but well used. Needs updating. Remote sound did not work for tv. The toilet was loose and wobbly. Could hear sex being had in next room.

Couldn’t have picked a better hotel for our four night stay! We wanted a pet friendly hotel and walking distance to the beach! It was very pet friendly and had an area to walk your dog and have them play with other dogs! It was walking distance to the beach and to sliders– awesome food and drinks and also pet friendly.
Hotel was very clean and perfect for what we needed, definitely will stay again.

This is no 5-​star hotel, but I was highly satisfied with the value that I got for my money. The room was spacious, all amenities were functional, and most importantly, it was CLEAN! Nice location right near the ocean, and a short drive away from beautiful downtown historic Fernandina. Staff at the hotel was friendly & helpful. This is the second time I stayed here, and not the last! If you’re looking for a good, clean place to rest your head for the night, look no further!

Comfortable, clean room and beds. Friendly desk staff. Very nice big swimming pool, tennis courts, putting green, and beach volley ball court. Also an area to walk dogs. We were very happy during our 5-​day stay and were delighted to be so near the beach.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that the water drained alarmingly sluggishly in the bathroom, the (free) wifi was REALLY slow, there were not enough convenient outlets to plug in all our devices (5 of them) and the (free) breakfast was just sugar. Also, the tv does not have closed caption capability.
All in all, really good value. A nice place.

COCKROACH IN THE BED!
Tried talking to the manager of the hotel about this situation that happened to us while staying the night. I left 3 message for him and he never called me back. Horrible customer service and they have cockroaches in their beds. NOT GOOD.

Did it smell a little odd? Yes. But It was clean, the bed was comfortable enough, and the front desk was super-​friendly. Also, we paid about $ 60 for a night’s stay, so really, how fussy should I be? I was thrilled to have that rate one block from the beach with a Days Inn name behind it.
The breakfast was a carb-​laden affair, which isn’t exactly the healthiest, but the coffee was hot and so were the grits. Don’t expect eggs or buckwheat pancakes, but we did see the staff eating there, so they must have faith in the food prep practices.
Water pressure in shower was great and the hot water came up quickly. The pillows were too firm for my liking, but if that’s the worst thing I can say I count it as $ 60 well spent.
