This hotel was a bit of a hidden gem. It was farther from downtown St. Augustine than others at which I stayed, but the room was clean and well-maintained, and the hotel had a lot of great perks like a pool, hot tub, gym room, free breakfast and ample free parking. The only downside was that the walls were a bit thin, but that only matters if you have rowdy neighbors. I actually booked another weekend there during my stay. It is now on my short list of places to stay when I'm in the Ancient City.
