Amelia Hotel at the Beach
We were greeted by the staff and they were awesome. We received a balcony room and loved it. Room was very nice. Had breakfast and it was ok...not a big breakfast person. Did not use the pool. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. Right across the street from a restaurant and the beach.
