Guest Reviews & Ratings

What Guests Are Saying?

7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, although booked at a higher rate, was spacious with a pull-out sofa, but the insinuation about the room choice was off-putting. The service, aside from one rude employee, was overall excellent. The location was closer to the beach than expected, but the presence of less than stellar patrons nearby was a drawback. The dining experience was fine with a decent selection of breakfast items. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.

8.6/10

Staying at the Comfort Suites was like buying a new Smart car for the price of a new Cadillac. The hotel's location is full of food options and very close to the beach, making it excellent for sunrise and beach access. While the room we booked online didn't match what was offered in person, the proximity to the beach was a pleasant surprise.

Rooms

7.5

The room we booked online did not have that option, insinuating we were too cheap to pay for that level room. They were comfortable and clean, but not what we expected.

Service

6.5

Service was overall good, but one employee named Josie was absolutely unprofessional and rude to my family. This tainted our overall experience.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location is very easy walk to the beach, Fort Clinch, or the historic downtown area of Fernandina Beach. Close to many amenities and attractions.

Dining

8.0

The dining experience was great, offering a variety of options including healthy items like fruit, yogurt, and juices. However, we had an issue about discounting the rate discussed prior to our stay.

Facilities

7.5

The hotel offers good facilities overall, but nothing particularly outstanding. The amenities were standard for a hotel of this caliber.
