Good stay, great location
This is our second time here and I love the location. This stay was a bit disappointing though. The breakfast was ok, my son wouldn’t eat any of it, they didn’t offer much of a selection. The towels were needing some updating as my shower towel felt like sandpaper. The floors were dirty, we had white socks and were walking around the room and they were nasty dirty. I will stay here again, just hope they do some updating and train their housekeepers better.

It was close enough to walk to everything or take the trolley, which was nice. The room had no where to put your things and it was very noisy. The bed was uncomfortable and everything smelled musty.

Run! I should have listened to the reviews. Such a sad place and certainly the worst place we've ever stayed for just under 400$. Nothing has to be amazing but clean is a must! Never touched the floor and was so afraid to get in the bed! Don't do it!

Disappointed
Room was not what I expected for the price. Tile in the shower was cracked, mirror was broke, shower door was coming apart and tile floor in the shower was dirty. Mattress was bad and worst is we had no hot water to shower. We always leave good reviews so this is not normal for us to complain but for over $300 a night I expected better.

Ok motel, nothing extraordinary
The place was an ok stay, your regular motel (red roof or super 8 type), the bathtub drain was clogged which was kind of disgusting, other than that the room was pretty clean and the beds were confortable, walls are thin so there might be some noise if it's too crowded. Breakfast was ok, nothing extraordinary. One good thing is that the motel is stop 21 of the Troley. Not bad overall, but definitely not worth paying more than 200 per night (I paid much more than that due to the Night of Lights event)

This is one of the least expensive hotels near the attractions in St Augustine. It’s a bit older than some, but it also has that charm of how hotels used to be. I did like that I did not have to drive downtown because traffic is horrible. So that and the price was the main selling point.

Needs work but was decent
The pictures online are deceiving. It is a very old building. Needs some fresh paint in the rooms. It was very loud outside, thin walls. Great place to stay to be near attractions. A little pricey for the size of the room.
