I stayed two nights at Smart stay. I had to make a quick trip to St Augustine. I've stayed there before for one night. I initially had reservations for one night but the staff was great about getting me booked for the second night at a good rate. The beds are very very comfortable. The rooms have been redone. My bath was a walk-in shower as I requested. It did have a view of the pool and I worried about noise. I shouldn't have worried I didn't hear anything. If I need to go back down to St Augustine, I will stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel for sure. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the court yard that consisted of a pool, hot tub, and grill. Also there was a area for pets as well as smokers. My next visit to the area I will definitely be staying here. Thanks again to everyone who made my stay amazing!

A/C was amazing, and the Breakfast was delicious. But that COFFEE was the best I have had in any establishment in a long time. And don't get me started on the beds. I slept like a baby. Those beds are soft and very comfortable. This place is on the outskirts of the St. Augustine but it's only a short drive to everything. We are definitely staying here again when we come back to St. Augustine.
