Having just arrived at midday we were pleasantly greeted and allowed to check in, with a follow up phone call to the room 10 minutes later asking if everything was ok. The room is on a par with all other 50 to 90 dollar motels we've stayed in so far and is clean with good facilities. Location is very good... More

We made our reservations with Easy-to-book and when we arrived at Hotel, the location was THE BEST. It's the only hotel that the tour trolly ride through. We didn't have to drive to the sites. However, the first room they gave us was horrible but I went to the front desk and was given a much better room. The mattress... More

My family and me stayed here for a few days while visiting St. Augustine. The free breakfast was really good with adequate variety if selections BUT the amount of seating available and room available to eat your breakfast at was definitely NOT enough for the size of the establishment they have. There is also a laundry area provided, YEAH!, BUT,... More

Looking through other travellers' reports, I must say that we were quite satisfied with this motel. OK, it's rather old and the rooms need to be renovated, but it was clean and well equipped (we didn't have a problem with the carpet or the water and didn't see any cockroaches!). Breakfast was included and was plentiful. The charming old town... More

I really won´t recommend this hotel! I chose it because I thought that being a HJ it would meet basic standards but really, it was the worst experience in my trip. It was rrrrrreally old. The door wouldn´t close, so you have to push it really hard. And it was really that damaged that anyone could get it down kicking... More

i booked a king suite for 2 nights. The room was smelly, dank, and dirty. We killed 2 live large roaches within 10 minutes. The room left a lot to be desired. We ended up booking a room at the Holiday Inn express after 1 night and had a much better experience. Would not recommend staying here.

Disgusting! I stayed here before hoping things would improve but they only worsen. Rusty water coming from the shower and vanity. I couldn't even brush my teeth. Carpet has not been cleaned in years. Looks like construction workers stayed here with muddy boots. Not worth the price people

Dear guest, We apologize for your stay being less than excellent, for we do pride ourselves on delivering nothing but the best service and accommodation to all our guests. Unfortunately, during your stay, the City of St. Augustine did maintenance work on the city's water system. This caused disruption in the regular flow of water for several hours. The city... More

This hotel is within walking distance of the historic district, plus it has a tram stop right on the property for both of the hop-on-hop-off trams. Pretty property, one floor, parking in front of all units. Rooms are "worn" but clean. Good value.
