We only stayed here for one night while we toured the St Augustine area, but it was worth driving out of town to be so close to the beach. The only problem we had was that we arrived just as the elevator repairman was fixing the one elevator in the place. Fortunately, we were only on the second floor, but... More

The decor is beautiful, very clean, nice big rooms, big shower, nice vanity area, 2-3 minute walk to the beach, short distance from downtown...I could go on & on! Honestly, I adored this place! It just has so much character! Not like your usual, boring... More

I have stayed at the Castillo Real 3 times. I love how close to the water it is--the beach is just a 2-3 minute walk away. The pool is relaxing and the hotel staff have always been very pleasant. The restaurant serves delicious meals as well. More

Very nice hotel, well kept, with friendly helpful people at the front desk. The rooms are very large, with a nice sitting area and desk. Very large bathroom with separate shower/toilet and vanity area. Tile floor entry area which makes it convenient to remove shoes so as not to get sand on the carpet. The beach is a short walk...

We enjoyed our stay over MLK weekend. The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. The bathroom and dressing area was also spacious and clean. A large shower and toilet were separated from the dressing area by a door. There were 3 mirrors plus a make-up mirror so... More

My husband and I arrived very late on a Thursday evening. It was an impromptu overnight stay before our camping trip at the state park. The staff was friendly on the phone and accommodating. Any questions we had were promptly answer. Check in was easy, since the same helpful person on the phone was the one helping in person. The... More

Booked this room for a weekend trip to the beach. The information on Expedia implied a ocean view for a standard king room. No standard king room has an ocean view. Nice rooms with a short walk to the beach, but I REALLY wanted an ocean view. Hotel blamed Expedia. Expedia blamed the hotel for the inaccurate ocean view information. More

I am glad that you enjoyed your room, and I apologize for the confusion over the view. When we signed up with Expedia, we were required to list which views we have available. We had no way of knowing that they would apply that to every room type listed on their site. We are working to rememdy the issue. I... More
