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

Very convenient to historic district sites. Clean and generally comfortable rooms. The “spring break” college crowd made the nights very noisy for sleeping. Bring earplugs.

Location location location gets a 5. I fixed the bathroom (barn style) door. Sink drained very slowly and trash came up from it (they were called to fix it). Beds were very comfortable, room was smaller but comfortable. Had to get in the shower to turn it on and wait for hot water. Staff was polite and attentive. The benches in front of te rooms and the open outdoor spaces were a nice touch. I will probably stay there again and not expect too much except Location location location.

The property was very clean as was our room. The only complaint I have is with the mattress. I prefer a soft mattress and ours was very firm. Perhaps if the pillows were more comfortable it would have helped.

Property served its purpose for a place to stay, location is near all important dining and things to do however at night music went till 3 or 4am so no sleep basically and shower in room didn’t produce hot water just slightly warm so that was uncomfortable. Management team was somewhat friendly but could improve on customer service skills
