Liked: Staff & service
The room was small but decent and updated. The staff (what limited interaction we had) was helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable but it took us some time to get the temperature in the room comfortable (it was freezing). There was a very unpleasant sewer smell coming up from the shower drain with each use. For the cost, we have stayed in much better Best Western rooms than this one. We are not likely to book in the future should we stay in St Augustine again.

It started with our check in person and how hard she made it to just check in. It was as if she was doing us a favor and using all her "power" to make us wait. It was unprofessional and unnecessary treatment. I hope you are able to talk and retrain this person

The room was small and the bathroom extremely small. Walls were thin with noise and an alleyway behind the room with bars and traffic. No elevators and stairs narrow. The hotel was in a good location.

Always very clean and all staff is very efficient and friendly. Sherri (front desk) is such an assest to this establishment. She's been there for years and it shows that she loves her job.
