A wonderful location with views
Comfort Suites Fernandina Beach is located one mile from Historic Downtown Fernandina Beach, where you'll find lots of eclectic shops, restaurants, bars and entertainments. Main Beach is just a block away and several other gorgeous beaches are just a short drive from the hotel. For the best, unobstructed Ocean views, be sure to request a room on a high floor and at the back of the property when making your reservation.
positive:
This is a non-smoking hotel
This is a 100% is a non-smoking property which is great for those who don't imbibe and prefer that their room smells fresh and not like acrid, second-hand smoke.
positive:
The rooms are spacious
The rooms here are spacious which is great if you are traveling with more than one person, have lots of luggage in tow or simply like extra room to maneuver.
Negative Reviews
negative:
There are no pets allowed
Other than service animals, this hotel does not accept pets. This is unfortunate for those who like to travel with their favorite four-legged friends especially in light of all the great beaches and parks that are located nearby.
negative:
The air conditioning is inconsistent
Although the air conditioning works well in the hotel's public spaces, sometimes the units in the guest rooms are less than adequate. This can make for an uncomfortable stay, especially during the summer months when the nights remain as hot as the days.
negative:
The parking is limited
The parking lot at Comfort Suites Fernandina Beach is limited which can be problematic if you are traveling with more than one vehicle. The overflow parking is in an unsecured area which is not well-lit, making it feel less-than safe. There is also limited handicapped parking here.
