I have stayed in plenty of hotels in my lifetime as I travel frequently and this is the WORST I have ever seen. BY FAR! İ have never walked into a hotel room and felt disgusted like İ did here. I could not stay. İ went to the front desk to show pictures of the broken bed, the bed bugs and ants, the dirt, etc. and the front desk offered us to try a second room and it was just as bad. They refused to give us a refund. So ultimately, this place stole our money because we feared out of the health of our family to stay in such a disgusting environment. I am definitely calling the department of health on this place because this is DISGUSTING. DO NOT GO HERE, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!

The room was a good size room, recently renovated, and clean. However, the room needs better shades to block parking lot lights. You can hear everything out side - cars pulling up at your door, people going into their room, etc. Other than that the hotel reminds you of an old motor inn from the 70s/80s. It was close to downtown, which is what we needed. Except the location was not safe enough to walk back and forth to downtown at night.

Second stay in last 3 months.. Wife and I love it. 10 min easy walk to Historic St Augustine. Rooms are always clean and quiet.Breakfast is filling and clean. Good amount of choices. Pool area is quant but could use a lil TLC. A daily tidy up and vacuum should be a given for a touristy motel. The whole complex could use a simple power wash too. Other than that it's one of our fav spots. Until next time.

Perfect location!

The room was very basic. It showed a bit of wear, but was clean. If I was nit-picking, I’d comment that a couple of the pillow cases had makeup stains that hadn’t washed out. The breakfast was decent. Overall, it’s a good value if you just need a place to stay for the night and use as a base of operations during the day.

Villa was a nice little place to stay for our recent trip. Check in was easy, as was check out. They actually did us a huge favor and held our bags since check out was at 11am, but we didn't need to leave for the airport until 2:30pm. I don't think they normally do this since they had them in a storage room, so it was very much appreciated! Everyone was nice and pleasant when I spoke to them. The rooms were clean and the property was clean, which is the most important thing. The best part is it's pretty walkable to a fair amount of attractions and various restaurants (Raintree and Drakes are both great options close by!). I would definitely rent here again.

The property is dated. Needs a little refreshing… painting the exterior would be nice.

Everything in walk distance. Leave your car hop on a Trolley and enjoy downtown. Modern clean room fantastic shower!

Absolutely wonderful for the price.

The oldest tree is right at the entrance and it is absolutely gorgeous. The room was just perfect for a quick stay

It was clean and in a good location

Walking distance to fountain of youth. Staff is very friendly and breakfast is good

Fantastic location! Very clean, staff was helpful and delightful!

The hotel has a good location, close to old town. Breakfast was bad with no options of bread, poor quality. The rooms were clean but not what you expect when paying 300 dollars a night, noisy refrigerator, never brought new towels, the shampoo and conditioner are cheap. Again it’s a 100 dollar a night hotel, but because of the time of the year they charge triple.-

This a conveniently located place. Price cost relationship is good

liked overall quiet and convenient instead of the busier tourist areas, property could use some TLC or updates and more thorough housekeeping

They should let you check in earlier.
