I work from 6 PM to 6 AM and had traveled with my Fiancé to St Augustine to be married early Friday morning. After the wedding, we went to the hotel for check-in only to learn check-in time was at 4 PM. The customer service lady called their clean up crew and had them immediately begin cleaning the room I reserved so that I could check in 3 hours early. It was an amazing gesture that I will always appreciate. While waiting for the room to be cleaned, she reviewed what St Augustine had to offer and included a few suggestions. The room was nice and smelled clean, also, the air conditioner was set to 65 which was perfect for sleeping. I had one of the most quiet and peaceful sleeps in a long time. The pillows could’ve been fluffier, but that’s just a personal preference. After going out that night, we returned to the hotel via the free shuttle services provided by the hotel. After a good night’s rest we woke up and headed downstairs for some breakfast. There were as many cold items on the menu as there were hot items and it all tasted great! The portion sizes were right on the spot and all the dishes were clean! We didn’t get to use the pool due to squeezing in everything else, but it looked well kept from the outside. The location of this hotel is not as close to the Old City as others, but I kind of liked that. It was right across from a Walgreens and CVS which was perfect for late night snacks. Overall, a great stay!
