No, the toilet didn’t flush but eventually after several notices was fixed. There was no hair dryer in the room as advertised. But they did bring one up to me. The parking was an extra fee if $12.00 per day.

Disliked: Amenities
Where do I start, was charge a $250 incidental fee not mentioned (this was more than the room cost, I have never paid this high of incidental before and stayed in a whole lot better places), charged $12.50 parking fee (again not mentioned), toilet was stopped up and stopped up 3 additional times with just urinating in it, door to room would not close properly (had to lift up on it when closing to get it to lock like it should and stay closed), breakfast was terrible (dehydrated scrambled eggs, stale bread & bagels, watered down OJ, sausage had no flavor and I have no idea what to say about potatoes other than blah). On a positive not bed was comfortable and AC/heat did work. Would I recommend or even stay here again; ABSOLUTELT NOT.

Overall I would say that our stay was good. The hotel was conveniently located for us as we were doing a reenactment at Fort Clinch, so the hotel being right next to that was nice. The parking is good and ample I would say. The room overall was okay, but definitely had something’s that were not great. First, as soon as we got to the room, the door was not easy to open because it was not aligned well so it kept getting stuck and we’d have to really push or pull to open it. Second, the tall lamp in the room had no lampshade. We told the front desk after we arrived to our room, and the young lady said she would get us one, but throughout the stay we never got one. Third, the pull out bed was absolutely disgusting. The legs of the bed were terribly rusted and left stains all over the mattress. The mattress was also very uncomfortable. Oh and you have to go down to the front desk to get the linens for it. Not convenient at all. Lastly, the bathroom is in need of some TLC, specifically the shower area. The shower curtain had an unusual stain on it and the wall near the shower had a rust color type of substance. Also the conditioner was never refilled before we got there and was empty after one shampoo. Would I stay here again? Possibly. Was it horrible, no. But the room we were in needed some TLC.
The rust colored substance near the shower.
The shower head is in need of a deep cleaning.

This hotel was just okay. It was within walking distance from the beach, which was good. But so many other things were just okay. Breakfast was to best served 7:30-9:30--we went down at 9 everything but rubber eggs was gone. Not even might for cereal. Rooms are only serviced by request. It cost over $12 to park. We have been going to Amelia for over 20 years and never had to pay to park. Beds were comfortable and it was quiet.
