Top Howard Gilman Waterfront Park Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Amelia Island

8/10 Good

"Clean. Great location close to beach. Just not enough pool loungers."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Kingsland Naval Base I-95

10/10 Excellent

"Good value. Was a good stay."

Amelia Island Williams House

10/10 Excellent

"A thoroughly enjoyable experience with Veronica and her staff! Excellent breakfast fare and Veronica’s restaurant recommendations were spot on. Definitely a destination for families as well the bicycling availability on site as well as everything of interest within walking distance."

Hampton Inn and Suites Amelia Island Historic Harbor Front

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Amelia Island. Easy walking distance to the stores, and the harbor to take a river cruise. Breakfast was excellent. Very impressive. I will be back in a future trip to the area."

Florida House Inn

8/10 Good

"The Florida House Inn has quite the historic charm. If you are looking for modern amenities other than air conditioning and indoor plumbing, this is probably not the place for you. If you want a nice quiet getaway with some very rich (over 150 years) history, then this is the place. The Green Turtle Tavern, right next door, has live music on weekends so it is a little loud until 11pm Fri/Sat and 10pm Sun. If that’s not on your getaway punch card, again maybe not for you. We had a fun time sitting on the front porch, with our own cocktails, and people watching. You can also sit down on the back patio around the mermaid fountain for a slightly quieter get together. You can also make friends with the resident kitties if they will allow it. If you know cats, you know what I mean. The black cat, Mama, is the sweetest. The Mermaid Bar is open, inside, until 10ish. The restaurant, Leddy’s Porch seems to be a locals favorite spot for Sunday Brunch. The food was great AND you can get unlimited mimosas (or Bloody Mary’s I think) for $15. The fried green tomato BLT with homemade ranch was so yummy. My husband got an omelet with sausage and the sausage was phenomenal! Homemade and so tasty! There’s also indoor and outdoor seating. That was nice. Especially with the change of seasons coming, it would make for a beautiful Sunday out. We had a small issue with linens when we got there but the staff was very accommodating and courteous. We will definitely be back to visit."

Hoyt House Amelia Island

10/10 Excellent

"Our getaway to Fernandina Beach and stay at Hoyt House was excellent. Our hosts David,Lindy and Katie were so helpful, as was all the staff. (Shout out to Sydney and Amanda.) Our hosts helped arrange tours for us and were helpful with recommendations on food, entertainment and tours. The morning breakfasts were top of the line. Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. And the pool was a god send for relaxing. Happy hour at the bar was a great way to meet other guests, or just enjoy a glass of wine or drink. Definitely recommend Hoyt House and will return again."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western St Marys Cumberland

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very clean and well kept. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and the breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend if you are staying in the area."

Riverview Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Blue Heron Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Blue Heron was absolutely lovely. Christine is a wonderful host and went out of her way to ensure her guests were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. The house is clean and beautifully decorated…and not in a cheesy or old creepy kinda way. It’s tastefully antique and chic. The parking is a tight, but once you’re there, you don’t need your car again until you leave. It’s in walking distance to great restaurants and downtown. We truly enjoyed ourselves and can’t wait until our next visit."
