Hotel nightmare!

This hotel was anything but what the pictures show. Room was supposed to be non smoking but reeked of smoke. We had a 1/2 roll of toilet paper. The bed was the only comfortable part of this hotel room.carpet was filthy the bathroom was falling apart as was the kitchnet. As for the people coming on a daily basis to clean the room and replace towels with clean ones and make the bed with fresh linens well in 3 days it never happened. The parking was inadequate also. If you like and old hotel this is really it but as for everything elas it was a dump! Stay away from a stay here you will be highly disappointed and probably grossed out!.

I love that it is retro…..not many places like this. The murals in the rooms are so beautiful and unique. We’ve stayed there four times so far. The beach is right there. It’s easy to get to St. Augustine. Absolutely love it!!

I loved the retro charm of the hotel, the bathroom had beautiful green tile, The bed was comfortable, nice size fridge and freezer coffee maker, microwave and sink with great Wi-Fi. The property is steps away from the beach, Publix, several restaurants and a cute coffee shop. The hotel did allow dogs with an additional fee, and the beach does allow dogs as long as they're on a leash, so that was a big plus.

Convenient

I booked this place based on the room photos, which showed really cool, quirky murals in the rooms. There were no murals in our room, and I’m not sure if they are in any room, so don’t count on it. Otherwise, it was a nice spot. It’s an older Motel with the original outside decor and signage still intact. It’s also super close to the beach, though our room had no view whatsoever.
