This is a very nice hotel. It is a very clean. It has a nice pool and hot tub. It is a very short walk to the beach, too. You can easily drive into historic St. Augustine from here, too. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will be back.

I requested a room with a ocean view and got a room with a small window facing the roof of the next house . They said that breakfast was NOT included and their restaurant was closed. When leaving I couldn’t get a copy of my bill, so please send me that copy.

The place was beautiful and clean. I feel thought the price breakfast should be included,however it was a great spread. The restaurant smelled great even thought we didn't eat there. The location is perfect ita 10-15 from everything in either direction. 10/10 would recommend and I will stay again.

This hotel is wonderful! It is a short walking distance from the beach, has a pool with a waterfall feature, has very clean and comfortable rooms, has friendly people working here, and is quiet. It is, also, a short drive to historic St. Augustine. I would definitely recommend it!

This was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at and I travel a lot! Very close to the beach. Hot tub and pool were very clean and large. Rooms are large, beds, comfortable, showers extra large. And it’s very clean. The restaurant is fabulous. They offer an $8.50 breakfast which was very good! Even the gym has a steam room and sauna. The hotel is beautiful. I don’t know how anyone could give this place a bad review!
