Location location location gets a 5. I fixed the bathroom (barn style) door. Sink drained very slowly and trash came up from it (they were called to fix it). Beds were very comfortable, room was smaller but comfortable. Had to get in the shower to turn it on and wait for hot water. Staff was polite and attentive. The benches in front of te rooms and the open outdoor spaces were a nice touch. I will probably stay there again and not expect too much except Location location location.

The property was very clean as was our room. The only complaint I have is with the mattress. I prefer a soft mattress and ours was very firm. Perhaps if the pillows were more comfortable it would have helped.

I personally would not bring my family to stay here again. Pros: Staff were nice. Anyone we encountered were friendly. Location is great. Once we parked we didn’t have to move once since our primary visit was for downtown area. Cons: As many people have mentioned there is a band that plays until about 1:30 in the morning. I could make out every song and even hear the chatter of people. Thankfully we only did 1 night. But if you’re planning on going out until that time, that may not be a deal breaker. We were also unlucky to be placed by people who thought it was a good idea to hangout outside there door at 2 in the morning to the point I had to go outside and ask them to quiet down. Finally I definitely don’t think the price is worth this location and that’s even with it being downtown.

Property served its purpose for a place to stay, location is near all important dining and things to do however at night music went till 3 or 4am so no sleep basically and shower in room didn’t produce hot water just slightly warm so that was uncomfortable. Management team was somewhat friendly but could improve on customer service skills

Great location to experience St. Augustine

The Best Western in St. Augustine had excellent reviews on the Hotel.com app, but I hadn’t stayed at BW for a long time. I was wrong to worry - the place was fantastic. It’s more of a motel than hotel. Meaning you park outside your room and there isn’t a “lobby” or main hotel - just an office to check-in. The parking is unique but makes perfect sense for the location. When you check in they guide you to your parking space and as you come and go they fit you in by moving barriers and stanchions. It sounds complicated but it works very well. Our room was small but worked for our stay without issue. The room was clean and up-to-date. Bathroom was nicely done. The location is excellent - the historic fort is across the street and the historic streets are 1 minute away walking. We spent most of our time exploring the town. Many great places to eat, drink and people watch. The town is very friendly and we felt safe throughout the historic area. The only negative was the hotel wifi really didn’t work for us. Might have been our room location - we were ground level and not far from main office.
