We had a great experience. It is a great location, and we were lucky enough to get the room with a huge picture window overlooking the water. Definitely worth the cost if it is available.

It was our first trip to St Augustine, FL. Since we flew, this was the perfect location for UBER and the Old Town Trolley even has a stop at the hotel due to the beautiful bay. The hotel was walking distance to St George St and several attractions, City Gate, Oldest School house, etc I would definitely stay here again

We stayed at this hotel for just one night. The hotel is older and fairly simple, but it was clean and met our needs for a short stay. Its biggest advantage is the excellent location, within walking distance of St. Augustine’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Overall, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for a convenient place to stay and don’t mind that the property is a bit dated.
