Room had quite a few housekeeping issues (no towels in bathroom, door was found open on check-in (supposedly housekeeping leaves doors open at times to air out rooms), bathroom was not adequately cleaned (prior guest's soap with hair was still in tub, soap dish not cleaned), bed sheets had stains, body hair and some grainy substance in bed (presumably sand), mattress was old/springy with duct tape on it, and ceiling fan was a safety concern as some of the blades were loose. Our worst hotel stay to date in the past 20 yrs of travel. No email response by management regarding issues. Had to go down to reception desk 4x on arrival day to get towels, linen and report issues. Not worth staying here even though it is right on the beach. Parking is also limited with a few spots (about 10) with direct hotel access, and with some nearby hotel parking available.

The pros are as follows front desk clerk Liz-wonderful and so sweet. Breakfast was plenty and good variety. Beach a few feet away. Room had 2 TVs, nice size refrigerator, Kureg, microwave. The cons are as follows the room 2 room ocean view suite so tiny, little wardrobe closet, old and worn. Some areas very dirty legs of chairs, lamp, corners- needs a good scrubbing. No housekeeping, only received 2 bath towels had to replenish myself, no hair dryer-empty sack, ironing board no iron. Elevator doors filthy. Lobby and dining area were clean.

We arrived early and called the hotel to see if we might get an early check-in. We were told that the room wasn't ready, which was fine, so we waited. At 4pm, check-in time, the room wasn't ready, nor was it ready at 5pm or 6pm. The lady at the front desk told us that housekeeping was understaffed and someone had called in sick. We finally got to our room after six o'clock and when we did it was obvious the floor had not been vacuumed and the bathroom had not been cleaned. There was detritus on the floor and a used washcloth hanging in the shower, and the toilet bowl was extremely unpleasant. Also, there wasn't any hand soap on the vanity. My husband cleaned the tub. There was no daily maid service so the floor didn't get vacuumed the entire time we were there, even though I called and told the front desk about the bathroom and the floor. This was our third stay at the Seaside Amelia because we like the fact that it is right on the beach and within walking distance to Fort Clinch State Park, but after this fiasco I'm not sure we will ever stay there again.

We couldn’t check in till after 5:00. We got there a little before 4:00. The clerk was very nice and apologized but we had driven all day, and were tired. They seemed light on staff. Someone else should have pitched in and gotten the rooms cleaned on time. We had heard this had happened earlier in the week also. Management seems to ignore issues in the hotel. More clerks in the afternoon and additional cleaning staff seems essential.

There are two front desk staff members. The later afternoon/evening shift (long dark hair) woman is LOVELY and kind. When I noticed that there wasn't a "do not disturb" hanger on the door she told me that housekeeping only comes upon request and that no one will disturb me. The morning/early afternoon shift (short dark hair): Day 1 she called me three times to tell me my dogs were barking when I had to run to urgent care due to a mishap. Doubtful since I had a 2 way "nanny cam" in the room - I was paranoid about leaving them there while I went to the doctor. As I checked the cam they were asleep. As soon as I rushed back I heard two dogs parking that are not mine. Honest mistake I suppose. Day 2 this same woman comes to my door with a housekeeper. Said they thought the room was empty and left. Then she calls me yet again to ask if I'm in the room they just knocked on, that they thought I was in another room. I then clarified and asked if she was sure it was MY dogs that were barking the previous day? She said yes. Honest mistake? Later the same day, third knock on the door. I was in the bathtub and had to get out. No one was there. I got a strong feeling the morning clerk checks periodically to make sure dogs aren't left unattended in the rooms. This soured an otherwise great experience. Location A . Clean, modern. A . Dog friendly? Yes, minus intrusive behavior Expedia didn't disclose a $100 pet fee so be aware of that. It was reasonable but not expected.

I just spent four nights at the Amelia Seaside Inn with my daughter and granddaughter, a toddler. I chose it due to its location right on the beach. We reserved a small suite which included a sitting area with a view of the ocean. It was perfect for us. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The only thing that would take a star away is that it's in need of a facelift. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend it, especially for families.

There was just nothing overly special about this property. The price point was the best part considering the close proximity to main beach. It was a very short trip to beautiful downtown. Check in and checkout were easy. The door to our room looked like it had been forcefully opened with a crow bar more than once. The bed/bedding was less than impressive (no fluff). The place could definitely use an overhaul but for the price, it might be justified.
