Hampton Inn Amelia Island

Very friendly staff, nice pool, good breakfast. However, The room wasn’t very clean. My toddler son found a very used Qtip and proceeded to use it in his own ears within 20 seconds of being in the room. Thankfully we had our own blankets. Bathroom was dirty and outdated. There was black crud floating in the tub and shower head. AC was loud and pitiful. The fridge was full of old water from being defrosted. The price was decent compared to other hotels in the area, but I guess you get what you pay for!

Outdated décor. Couch and chairs had stains. Bathrooms need to be re-​done. Don’t stay here until Hilton fixes this place up.

Terrible customer service, we booked a room and it was paid for by my friends sister,(as a gift) using her credit card. We were told to that the sister needed to fax something to the hotel saying that we were using her credit card. We had no access to a fax machine (my friends dad had a heart attack so my friends sister was at hospital and it was hard to get to a fax machine) and my friends sister was told over the phone that it would be fine if we showed up with her credit card, and used it, since she had made reservation for us. We drove 90 miles and the general manager khelia O. Todd told us we could not use her card without the sister being present for the sisters protection. I understood the reason behind all this, but its on the hotel to train there employees in the rules and regulations. The general manager mentioned above was extremely rude, she told us in a flippant way that we could go find another hotel!!! comeon we just drove 90 miles from the hospital and we were super exhausted. The hotel should have apologized and payed for our room or at least been helpful. We moved on and found another hotel. Dont go here!

Great room for the price and location. Close to beach. Such a friendly staff, they are the reason I’m writing a review. Super friendly!!! Thank you!

We don’t usually write about hotels unless they are unusually good or bad. The Hampton Inn at Fernandina Beach was unusually good. the staff could not have been more helpful no matter the question. The location was terrific near the beach, The fact that they provided loaner beach blankets and beach chairs was a big plus. And best of all was the hot breakfasts they serve each morning. Fresh fruit, hot oatmeal, eggs and even waffle machines. The only negative to me is that the Hamtpon Inn public computers at all their hotels block out fantasy sports sites preventing me from checking on my teams.

Hotel was clean, only reason for the missing star is the free WiFi was not working, at all. That part was horrible. The staff was kind and helpful and the fact that they loan beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, and beach towels is wonderful. Pool was nice and location is perfect. Moments away (walking) from beach and restaurants.

Clean and dog friendly — my two priorities for a hotel. Friendly, helpful staff too. Our room was too warm and maintenance had to be called out so that a/​c would get to the temperature that we had it set at. Overall a pleasant experience. Be quick if you want one of those famous Hampton Inn cookies at tea time. They frequently run out here. I saw the empty tray more often than I saw any cookies !! I recommend this hotel, which is only a short walk to the beach.

This Hampton inn is non smoking and loos really good. The rooms are kinda small but being on the beach you don’t spend most time in here anyway. The service is good but they seem under staffed the front desk took 25−30min to check us in bit after that it was great! Also only 1 block from the beach with makes it a prim location.

Only a so-​so hampton. Service was OK. But it needs updating. The room had a bit of a smell, and little things were worn out (like the little plastic card showing TV channels was all frayed, for example).
I would have given 3 stars, but the worst, grossest thing, was that the tap water tasted really, truly, awful. This may not be the hampton’s problem (maybe city water there is just bad???); But if so, they should give everyone a free bottle of water. Seriously, it was gross. I didn’t want to even brush my teeth with it.

The pros: it’s near the beach (1 long block). It serves the usual good Hampton Inn breakfast.
The cons: our room was small and so overstuffed with bulky furniture that we couldn’t get out of bed on one side. The a/​c was noisy and inefficient (in April!). There are not enough staff at the front desk during check in and check out times and so they cannot pay attention to guests.
We were booked to stay five nights. We moved outvafter only one to the Days Inn next door, which is even nearer the beach and cheaper.

The Hampton Inn located on Amelia Island /​Fernandina Beach area is pretty standard fare compared with the other locations within the chain. Hampton Inn always seems to have relatively spacious rooms that are clean and updated. This one is no different. My room was very tidy and definitely wasn’t too small for my family of four.
One of my favorite things about these hotels is the wonderful, hot, complimentary breakfast available to you each morning. You won’t just get fruit or even a fruit cup. We’re talking about bacon, eggs, waffles, muffins, bagels, hash browns, cereal, toast and more! It differs every day, but my favorite day is when they have the loaded bagel. That consists of a bagel topped with scrambled eggs, melted cheese and bacon! It’s delicious!
The hotel is basically right by the beach and has quick access to a few restaurants and coffee shops. There’s a Starbucks very close. The only thing which I found strange about this location was the lack of a fitness center. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Hampton Inn that didn’t have one.
Overall, my room was clean and comfortable, the wifi was pretty fast, the staff were very friendly and remembered us and the maids were not intrusive. I’d definitely stay again!

This place is close enough to the beach (less than a 5 minute walk) and is worth staying especially for the cost! The front desk and housekeeping staff were friendly and the free breakfasts were great. The hotel is a little dated, but the beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean. At night it did get warm, but we didn’t realize that we had the chair too close to the AC and so the air couldn’t circulate (once we pulled the chair back a little, the room cooled without a problem). We debated between staying in the downtown area or here, and was glad here stayed here. The distance to the beach and the cost of the room was well worth it:). Only downside was that there was no gym, but that forced us to run on the beach so can’t complain about that!

Great nights sleep! Comfortable beds and very clean. Quiet! They change out their pillows, shower curtains and bedspreads (which was a duvay) every 4 days. My husband and I both were very happy with the service.

It is hard to rate a hotel that you show up at dark and leave at dark and only stay for one night, but I will give it a whirl. The room was nice and comfortable with a good supportive bed. The front desk was nice and informative about what was open late for dinner. I only saw the actual beach on my gps. A bummer being so close to the beach and not setting my eyes on it.

for a chain hotel, i was not disappointed. lodging on the island was extremely expensive and i usually prefer b&b’s. we got a king size suite for a very decent price and then got an additional discount for paying up front. i called ahead to ask about the garden tub/​whirlpool — to make sure that two people could fit in the tub (it was my anniversary!) and the guy on the phone laughed and told me how he had never been asked that before. by the way, yes two can fit in it! so, it was nice to have a really friendly staff. the pool was always empty too, so i was very happy there were no screaming children running around.
the room was very clean and nice, the bed was super comfy, and OMG free waffles. the free breakfast was a huge perk. usually when you stay somewhere with free breakfast, it means cereal and donuts and lumpy fruit. then by the time a normal person wakes up, all that’s left is raisin bran and the coconut donut no one wants. but they kept everything well stocked on the buffet. the only thing i would complain about is the fact that the eggs are clearly boxed eggs but that’s because i am personally offended by such a thing. they had coffee, tea, milk, oj, apple juice, yogurt with granola and dried fruit, cereal, oatmeal, lots of pastries, bagels, english muffins, fresh fruit, fruit salad, toast, eggs, sausage, and a waffle iron!!! pretty impressive spread if you ask me.
i would definitely go back to this hotel or any hampton inns because i had a good experience.

A very nice hotel my husband and I came down for thanksgiving a short block from the beach did not realize we were on an island!

My husband and I stayed from Friday June 24^th to the morning of the 26^th. This hotel was very nice and offers complimentary breakfast. Nothing to rave about (microwave bacon — yuk!) but it is filling and free so you can’t really complain! The location is very close to the beach, not to be confused with the Hampton in historic downtown. Upon check in, the staff gives you a variety of pamphlets describing what to do and good places to eat. We even received a «value card» that could be used for discounts around the island. The room was clean and did not smell like wet dog, despite it being a pet friendly hotel. I was pleased with this. Nice amenities (free internet is always a plus) and the staff were always very welcoming and friendly.

Typical Hampton on a quieter side of Fernandina Beach but the customer service was outstanding! The man that checked me into my room was so friendly and was able to offer plenty of suggestions on where to eat and what to do while in Fernandina. Each time he saw me in the lobby he would greet me by name and ask how my day was. All of the staff was very welcoming and instead of feeling like a lonely business traveler hurrying to my room I felt totally at ease. I would definitely stay again.
