The first rooms we were given reaked of bleach we booked 2 king rooms for $250 w taxes and resort fees there were no covers on all of the light fixtures and the bath room cabinets were just plyboards painted and awful, doors didnt open/close correctly to bathrooms no privacy with the bad install and placement of bathroom doors that were very very old and grimey. The second set of rooms were musty smelling had some room updates such as counters but again shodded and the nighstands were so beat up the wood chips are peeling you cant touch them wo getting splinters rooms are lacking real cleaning needs painting and so many repairs cant use the shower comfortably nor the toliet as the flush button and toliet paper handle has so much gross looking stuff its disgusting in both rooms do not recommend anyone staying here we will not be using the beds and plan on checking out at dawn. Awful conditions and a true waste of our money 500 for 2 rooms and we dont feel comtable even taking a shower or sitting on the very warn out chairs worse hotel experience

Was very quiet and about 5 minutes from historic St Augustine. The trolley also ran through here so that was also a plus. The venue is nice, but the bathroom smelled of sewage randomly throughout our stay and the shower head spray was far too strong. The room was fine, however it seemed unfinished/cheap with the finishes. the remote to the tv kept falling apart as well. The breakfast was mediocre but was free so can’t really complain there. I paid around $90/night here and I think that is very accurate pricing for what was given. I wouldn’t pay much more than that though. It worked well for the trip I had but I do not think that I would stay here again. I would spend the money to possibly go somewhere nicer or maybe closer to the beach.

This place is not bad at all! So close to everything in the historic district of St. Augustine. The trolley stops within this property so that’s very convenient. The building is old but the whole town has that vibe. The rooms we had are upgraded, very clean. We left an iPad in one of the rooms and they called me so we got it back. That’s very professional and I highly recommend this place. The only feedback that I think will help the place is the landscaping outside. It needs a little attention but once this is done, it will add up to the beauty of the place.

First let me say Booking and check in was a breeze! Upon booking it allows you to make special requests and mine was for rose petals on the bed and a bottle of wine on ice as we went for our 10 year anniversary. I was so excited when I open the door and found rose petals with battery operated candles on the bed, no wine but I understand. Our room was just right for us. It was small but the bed and bedding were so comfy! I recommend a room towards the back of the hotel though as in the front you hear a lot more, like motorcycles or loud trucks driving by. We really only needed a room for sleep and showers since we had a lot planned! I would definitely stay again!

For the price you pay it is what you get. Yes, its an older motel but the location was worth it. Especially since it is part of the hop on hop of trolley route so you can just park and use that for your stay. There was an attendant there 24 hours. I can see how it can get a little loud during busy season but we went when it had died down. I was amazed that the pool hours were until 9pm and when we arrived people were still in the pool at 930pm and the attendant was fine with it. Breaking turned out better than the reviews. There was the usually instant oatmeal with sides, eggs, sausages, bisuits with gravy, cereal and apples and bananas. Juice, coffee and cappuccino was also available.
