Amelia Hotel at the Beach
Room was large and clean. Location is great for going to the beach which is across the street. There is one restaurant option across the street, which was very good. It is located far from downtown Fernandina however. Parking was easy.

Seaside Amelia Inn
Clean room. Older hotel and parking is a bit of a challenge with big car, but excellent location on Beach and close to everything! Nice staff. Not very comfortable beds. Breakfast was average for a hotel breakfast. Location is worth the stay
