Close to the beach and local amenities.
Many guests found the hotel's location very convenient as they could get to the beach and also many of the local shops, bars and restaurants on foot. The center of the historic town of Fernandina is a short drive away and guests enjoyed visiting the many tourist attractions there. If you like the idea of being in a quiet location yet still close to all the amenities then you certainly won't be disappointed.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Lack of picturesque view.
Although the hotel looks out onto the ocean and the nearby beach, some guests were disappointed to find that their rooms had a view of the restaurant's refuse area. If you are keen on having a nice view make sure you let the staff know prior to booking.
negative:
Walls quite thin.
Some guests have reported that they could hear noise from the adjoining rooms due to the lack of proper soundproofing. The walls have been described as very thin as many could hear other guests watching TV or using the bathroom.
negative:
Issues with the pool.
The outdoor pool was described as quite small and some guests objected to the fact that it was located in the parking area and were therefore rather reluctant to use it.
