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.

This hotel is very run down. Not very cleans at all. We even had ants in our shower. It was very noisy and there were always people smoking outside the room doors which caused my room to smell like smoke. There was even a barking dog in one of the rooms. I don’t think that pets are allowed in the hotel. The best thing about this hotel was the location. We would not stay here again.
Very dirty chair in our room.

Staff was great. Room was clean and recently remodeled. We did have to resort to using the towels to prevent water stains (including from the ice bucket). Perfect location for catching the trolley, walking to restaurants, liquor store conventionally sharing the parking lot. Outside can sometimes feel the "not safest" at night (but that's not the hotels fault). It was a great place to sleep and perfect location for enjoying St Augustine.

The room was clean enough. The whole property is a bit on the older side & showing some wear and tear. Breakfast was not a highlight. The young lady working the front desk was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Overall, meh, but the price was right compared to other properties in the area and it’s very close & convenient to the old city and attractions.

The property is ok for what it is. Needs to be mopped and more upkeep on the grounds. The bed is very squeaky. It is very convenient to the tourist area which makes it great for a place to drop your stuff and go. If you plan on more time touristing and less time in your room then its fine. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.
