The place was nice, but it's an updated motel from 1959. The breakfast was good, but standard. The staff was friendly and helpful. The proximity to historic downtown is worth something, but the $183 we paid for one night was about 2 times the value of this place. And the regular price is more like $300. But it's a $90 motel.

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

Okay for Overnight

The staff was super friendly, and the property is on the trolley route. The rooms had been updated but the walls were thin, and there was a lot of rust( which does come with the sea air). Overall for an overnight trip to St. Augustine it was okay.

Staff was nice and helpful. It was nice having a tram stop at the motel. Room was pretty clean and somewhat updated. TV was too small for the room. Site was pretty clean but some landscape was in need of upkeep. Convenient location for most attractions. Not a bad place for the price. Easy walk to The Foundation of Youth attraction.

The room was large. It had a comfortable chair with footstool and a large desk/counter with chair, mini fridge, no freezer, Microwave, tv, closet, separate bath with shower, a/c. The only thing that would have helped would have been better water pressure, the shower sprayed, but not hard enough to feel clean after a hot day. The Trolley drives threw the parking lot, which was convenient. The staff was friendly. Having breakfast was a bonus and the room price was great, especially with breakfast!
