“Wonderful Romantic Weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

This B&B is located in a perfect location. The street is quite, but it is only a block or two from all the best restaurants and shopping in the area. We stayed in the Garden Hideaway which has a private hot tub. It was very relaxing. The free amenities are seemingly endless with a gourmet breakfast, happy hour with appetizers and delicious desserts. There was always a treat available. The staff is very welcoming and inviting, an important part of a B&B stay. Although the Inn is 100s of years old, it is well-kept. Absolutely loved it. Will stay again.

Room Tip: Garden Hideaway's hot tub is wonderful.

“Really Relaxing Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Enjoyed my stay at the historic St Francis Inn B&B. This was my first stay ever at a B&B. Really relaxing atmosphere. Staff was professional, friendly and attentive to guests. I stayed in the Elizabeth Suite. Authentic antique furniture but stylish, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and so was the complimentary drinks through out the day. Great amenities. Inn's location sits in a quiet neighborhood but not far from historical sites. Would definitely recommend a stay here if you are looking for accommodations different from your average hotel. I would love to return and stay again.

Room Tip: Pay a little more and choose a suite for more space. Some rooms are smaller but the price is less.

“Would not recommend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I planned a romantic weekend to relax and enjoy St. Augustine, it turned out to be anything but. After making reservations and paying for them, we arrived and our room was under-construction so we were moved for the night. The next day we were told that our room was still unavailable and that we would need to find other accomodations. I was shocked because we were visiting from out of town. I don't recommend and will never return.

We apologize again for the unexpected and serious plumbing issue that occurred in your guestroom on your arrival date. Our staff upgraded you to a deluxe room with a king bed, whirlpool tub, and private deck for your first night (Friday night). Unfortunately, the plumbing issue could not be corrected in your original room (a special part had to be ordered) for your second night (Saturday night), and we were full. Our innkeeper found you lodging at another B&B a block from the party you were attending in town. You declined the room and chose to stay elsewhere for the night. Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience, but these were circumstances beyond our control.

“Feeling Blessed!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

My husband and I enjoyed this two night stay in a B & B for the very first time. We feel we were blessed to find the most perfect Inn right from the start. We were want of nothing ~ a knowledgeable and helpful staff, endless complimentary snacks and drinks, a variety of incredible breakfast choices (Loved the strata!), quiet and friendly surroundings, an authentic and immaculate late 1700's suite (Elizabeth) but with all the amenities of today including complimentary sherry and fresh flowers, proximity to the heart of St. Augustine, and a 4 block walk to the cathedral for morning Mass. Would you like to take a Horse and Buggy ride? Upon request, you will be picked up right at the front door! Feeling blessed, indeed! Arthur & Leona

Room Tip: The Elizabeth Suite overlooked the cobblestone roadway. The windows were fitted with wooden blinds...

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We finished a tour of Florida with a one night stay at this historic inn. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The idea of having inside and outside social areas with complmentary snacks and drinks is a great one.
The inn is in easy walking distance of the
We stayed in Anna's room which, although small, was very pleasant.

Bill and Jeanne

Room Tip: The bathroom was very compact, but what can you expect in a 250 year old building!

Our Historic building can be a challenge - originally built in 1791 - without today's modern conveniences.... Anna's Room is cozy - but has floor-to-ceiling windows for lots of sunshine - and a walk-in shower in the bathroom. Anna's Room is enjoyed for its easy access to the public balcony also. Thanks for your review - and we hope you will return someday!
