I was disappointed that the hotel charged a $50 deposit that was not stated on the Orbitz website. After I stated that, the front desk attendant said that Orbitz doesn't post that. I think that is terrible because some people might not be prepared to pay that deposit.

We stayed two nights at Smart Stay Inn St. Augustine and overall had a great experience. The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The hotel is pet friendly and the buffet breakfast was a nice bonus. The fitted sheet had a few stains at first, but the staff quickly replaced it with a clean one. One small challenge was breakfast if you’re alone with your pet, since pets aren’t allowed in the dining area. Overall, a pleasant stay and we would return.
