The view from the ocean side room (odd numbers floor 2 and 3). The short walk to Main Beach and local restaurants. Circle K right next store for them 24 hour munchies. King size bed was very comfortable. Front desk staff were friendly. Breakfast was ok, not great, but did have biscuits and gravy and the juice was good.
Price for our one night was pricey. They add a $12 parking fee AFTER you've booked your stay so expect a $12 extra fee to what you think you're paying. Elevator was a little sketchy. TV remote was not very reliable, one of those all in one type remotes. Bed was comfy but very high above floor. You need a running start to jump in it. Tub was very slippery and bathroom just didn't feel very clean. In-room coffee maker was very unusual, very small and cheap. Had to pass on using it. Pool was very small. One family of 4 or 5 could fill it. Did I mention the $12 parking fee you don't find out about until you get your receipt?? Yea...beware!

Location
The beds were said to be Queens and they were actually doubles. When I asked about this to the front-desk lady she was very polite, but then the night manager came in and she couldn't have been more aggressively rude. She refused to help look at the possibility of another room, and told me I would have to go through Booking.com. When asked about another type of room ( a king with a pullout), she refused to let me look at an example before I called Booking.com. She also lied and said the pull-out beds were only a twin size, which I later found out was untrue. I threw my hands up and walked away as she continually berated me. 10 minutes later, as I came in with my second bag, I saw her yelling at the next customer trying to check in. It was literally the opposite of hospitality, and she couldn't have been ruder or less helpful! I don't think she has any business speaking to any customers in a service-related business, and I am kind of worried about how she treats her family.

Most of the employees were very kind and professional. Always willing to help and make you happy. The breakfast room was clean and sunny, Kitchen staff was wonderful. Good parking area, hotel is next to Salt Life which was a fun restaurant, as well as being right across from the beach.
Except the morning/day person she was always sitting back on her phone and acted like I was bothering her when I would ask a question. Not personable at all. the floor in my room was so dirty. Stuff alone bed frame, medication/pill that had been drop on the nightstand. Stuff in refrigerator, door was difficult to open and close, it was sticking I had to slam it to close it. I reported these items to the day desk person who basically just looked at me. I told her how dangerous it could have been if a child would have found the medicine and ate it.

Their location
Uncomfortable bed, sofa with stains and dusty, employees smoking at the front of the hotel and talking about work issues, and front employees in their cellphones all the time ignoring customers.

That it was close to the beach.
We had a lot of difficulties at this facility plus they have changed there staffed and we were not please by our services we received. We cancelled and ended up staying somewhere else. Would not recommend this hotel!

Location and breakfast
The shower drain was clogged and the tub filled up while showering. When the shower was backed up the toilet wouldn’t flush
3.9
Great location and the beds were comfortable
The shower was scalding hot the whole time we were there. The water would not get cool at all and would go from off to scalding hot and with three small children that is completely unacceptable. It took maintenance six hours to come try to fix it. The first night we were told that we would be moved to a different hotel, If they could not get it resolved sense they were booked up.
Later that day, we were told that they could not move us, because they were in the middle of merging with a different hotel chain, and no longer could move us. Long story short. The water was not fix the whole time we were there, except for a few minutes after the maintenance guy would come every day on our last day the toilet would overflow for absolutely no reason and we had to send our kids downstairs to use the restroom in the middle of the night!! I would told I would be refunded for one of the nights but has yet to see that I’ve contacted the corporate number and I will be getting an email that will tell me if I could be compensated or not with in 4-7 days ughhh I think the whole experience was terrible although the front desk staffed did all, they really could to help without being able to do much

Comfort Inn is currently under transition to Sand and Surf, and from our observations, has been doing lots of painting and upgrading to their establishment. It’s wonderful to have a clean fresh room to stay in. We absolutely LOVE to visit the Fort Clinch beaches just north of this hotel, and that entrance is just a couple hundred feet from hotel +++! We also, absolutely love “Salt Life Food Shack” food and dining, and this is just a very short walk from hotel. This is a plus for us as well.
We’ve stayed at at least 3 different hotels at Amelia Island before Comfort Inn, but based on location, cleanliness, friendliness…. We would be apt to stay at this hotel again. Friends visited with us at the same time and liked their stay (their room as well) and didn’t express any dissatisfaction with them.
During this “upgrade period”, our bathroom door needs to have a doorknob that actually “fits” the opening. Other than that…. It was totally satisfactory to us.

Great location!! 2 blocks from a beautiful beach boardwalk. There is a skatepark and basketball courts right next to the hotel. Several restaurants within walking distance.
The staff was incredibly kind and helpful.

It was a short walk to the beach
The carpeting was old and not very clean. Our toilet seat was not secured and moved every time we used it.

Friendly staff, Very comfortable mattress and crisp flush bedding, soft pillows, 2 minute walk to the beach.
Air was not working properly and check in. Front desk got maintenance to check it.They replaced the unit while my family and I went to dinner. Returned to a nice Artic chilled room. Loooooved it !!!!!
Only complaint was that the breakfast. On Saturday and Sunday was these horrible processed chicken patties as the ONLY meat selection.The Waffle maker has been replaced with a pancake maker. The sausage was not put out until checkout day on Monday.

It’s RIGHT at the beach. Only a 5 minute max walk from the room to the water. Breakfast is always hot with a clean area to eat. The staff is so friendly!

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was good (limited selections, but something for everyone). Room, hotel, and grounds were clean. Service was great (when needed). Price was extremely reasonable for area and location. Location! Location! Location! Just steps to the beach!

I liked the location and the cleanliness of the room.
The breakfast wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good. Wish the options were healthier. Fruit wasn’t ripe and eggs didnt taste good. But there were other things to choose from and the area was kept clean and stocked.

Location
Rooms need to be updated. Sofa bed was horrible, no sheets, no pillows

Location and friendly staff
Too much plastic waste at breakfast and no lactose free milk

Rooms were good size and clean
Breakfast was not good. Everything was great except the pool. It was incredibly small. One 1-2 families in it and it was crowded. You had to access it from outside and around the building and the public had free range, even if they weren’t “allowed”.
3.9
The location is perfect for the activities we wanted to enjoy. Everyone was friendly and most helpful. We would definitely come stay with you again!

We like that hotel had great restaurants nearby. Near to shrimp fest and beach. Breakfast was great.
My cell phone kept canceling my door key!
I had to replace them daily for ones that worked. Cell phone was in Fanny pack.
Canceled key code even if kept in pocket on opposite side as Fanny pack. Very frustrating. Only problem we had.

it was close enough to the beach we didn’t have to drive and pay for parking elsewhere.
3.9
Location was perfect
Room was dusty, sheets were stained the carpet had strange smell ( mildew) probably, the bathroom needs updating was not what I expected for the money I paid, the ladies serving breakfast stood around watching people eat they laughed and talked about everyone in the breakfast room very unprofessional and uncomfortable. I will definitely not stay here again
