This hotel is in an excellent location. You can walk to several dining options and shopping. The room was clean and comfortable. There is music from area restaurants which didn’t bother me at all. But if prefer a quiet area you may not like it.

The location was perfect, the pool was closed for the first two days of our stay for maintenance and the staff couldn’t care when it would reopen. The two reasons I booked there was the location and pool. But otherwise I very positive experience

Great Location But that's it....

The pool was out of service for the whole time we stayed. And that was one of the things we picked the hotel. Breakfast are a grab bag! Banana muffin breakfast bar and a bottle of water. We where charged $25.00 each night for our car to stay there. The Location was great but not worth the money......

I loved everything about this property including the staff and location to the beautiful view, the pool, the gorgeous rooms and nice furniture, easy parking, and walkability to so many adorable places. And the price was amazing. I really, really hope to visit St. Augustine again, and when I do, I will make a point of reserving a room here.

The desk clerks were average, not real friendly. We needed something in the evening and called and she almost seemed annoyed. The pool was very nice, warm temperature we didn’t get to stay in only a couple minutes and there were bats flying very close to us. I know that is not something they can control was just very disappointing. Very convenient location to walk to almost all sights.
