I went to St. Augustine with a group of my friends for a girl's weekend (we're all in our early 20's). The property is a little out of the way from downtown St. Augustine, meaning you have to drive into town and find parking- which is a bit of a hassle. If you're okay with that (as well as paying anywhere from $8-$10 a day for parking in town), then it's not a problem.
The front desk staff was amazing- especially the guy with the the red hair and slight beard who first checked us in (I wish I could remember his name!)- he helped us out by giving us directions to the restaurant we were supposed to meet our at friends at for lunch.
The room was mediocre, they were not disgustingly dirty, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it clean, either. The sink looked like it could have used a more thorough cleaning, and I had to ask for my sheets to be changed since there was a peculiar stain on the top sheet (It looked like it had been washed, but was still stained regardless). There did NOT seem to be any problems with bugs, thankfully.
The bathroom was small, but had a really big shower. The bathroom door was also broken and really hard to slide open or closed- it didn't want to move and made a loud noise that would wake up the other people sleeping in the room. We had a nice view of the pool. The air conditioning worked well. We were supposed to have a microwave in our room, but for some reason it just didn't have one.
The main are of the hotel was kept clean. However, the hallways smelled of cigarette smoke. The breakfast was a very sad breakfast. Sure, it is included free, but what is the point of a free breakfast if you still have to go out and buy breakfast afterward anyways? We ended up going to McDonald's for breakfast after eating the hotel's breakfast. There were no substantial foods, and despite them trying to offer fruit (which ran out before breakfast was over, as well as the fruit juice), it seemed really unhealthy and low-quality.
Overall, I wouldn't put up a fight if someone said I had to return to this hotel. However, It would not be my first choice of a place to stay next time I return to the city. A nicer breakfast and slightly cleaner/well functioning room could have won me over, but alas, that was not the case. It was a decent value for the price, but I'd rather spend $10 more and stay in town, not have to worry about parking, enjoy a better breakfast, and have a cleaner room.
