Great 3 day break.

The hotel is located in a great spot and ideal for walking to all of the old center of St Augustine. Parking is a bit cramped but the attendant is great at getting everybody as close as possible to their room. No frills, but nice modern rooms and all you need for a stay in the area

Disliked: Staff & service
Even though check-in had been completed online, Check in had to be completed again with Sheri who was not friendly, but was efficient. Room was not yet ready so we returned later and met Latoya who was downright rude, unfriendly and unprofessional. Even though all information and credit card had been previously provided to Sheri, Latoya demanded the information and credit card again without explaining why this was necessary. She even raised her voice to demand the credit card again when we asked why. Parking attendant was efficient and friendly. Room was clean. AC unit was a bit loud.

Day off gone wild.

This property has a covered raised deck that is east facing towards the bay, bridge of lions and the lighthouse beyond. We enjoyed staying here.

Great location but …

Great location to visit but next door to live late night music. They know so the hotel offers earplugs. Didn’t bother me too much but fair warning. Otherwise ok for one night. Well kept room. Towels and toiletries are quite basic. Expected a bit more for $350+
