Satyed her with my sisters for the B&B Historic Inn tour Dec 10/11. Its a very average hotel, close to historic area, easy walk, clean beds but the sheets didnt fit. Breakfast ok, usual continental stuff. Fairly quiet but i use a sound machine and sleeping pill so i didnt notice. Staff freindly. Rooms smelled fine and looked clean. A bit overpriced and i think if you look elsewhere you might find a better deal in the historic area however they are all pricey. All the free hot tea and coffee you want all night. Try Miss Caroline across the street for lunch. Very good. There are so many ways to explore st augustine from here. Great location.

I stayed 3 nights on vacation and was surprised my room was in such disrepair. I walked into the room and it had no luggage rack, front desk went to the vacant room next to it and couldn't find a luggage rack either in that room. He said he would have to hunt for one and showed up later with one. The desk chair had to be replaced because it wouldn't raise from being all the way down. TV remote was missing the battery cover. Big gouges in the accent wall by the bed. Hair dryer didn't work, tried resetting the GFI to no avail. Toilet seat hinge had caps broken off covering the toilet seat screws. Regardless of what time I went for breakfast the round scrambed eggs were like rubber and sausage was hard from being left too long in the warmers. I'm a general manager of a hotel in northern Michigan and was very surprised. I just expected more and was let down. I don't know if my room (101) was typical of the rest of the hotel, and if it is, then Mr. Patel should seriously focus on getting new maintenance staff or hiring one if you don't have one. The room I was in should never have been rented to the public and should have been on maintenance until brought up to Choice's brand standards. Also, wanted to use the outdoor pool but maintenance failed to clean the leaves floating in it. The plus is that it is close to Ripleys, Fort and other attractions. This could be a great hotel in the Choice brand if management kept a better eye on maintenance.

This was my second stay at this hotel and it did not disappoint. It is not fancy and there is no restaurant or bar, but it is well located across the street from eateries and a reasonable walk to the Old Jail and downtown. The room was extremely clean and I love have a refigerator and microwave. Front desk staff is a little sleepy, but never rude or unfriendly. Free breakfast was decent. I got great rates here each time I stayed. One note- even though they claim to be suites, these are just larger one room set ups with a small seating area.

If so, then this will be a fine stay. I have stayed here numerous times over the years because of the convenience to downtown and decent value for the $. As time has passed, each successive stay creates more doubt in my mind about staying here any longer. This last visit was the clincher as other recent stays have tarnished my faith in this locale.

First, we were located directly next to the housekeeping locker. Saturday morning at 7:45 we were awaken by the sound of cups being packed onto carts, boxes being drug across concrete floors, the banging of lids on garbage cans, slamming doors and a fair amount of really loud conversation. I politely requested they keep it down the next morning and was told it wouldn't happen again on Sunday...well even my ear plugs didn't stop it that morning! This I will accept some responsibility for because I knew we were next to housekeeping and didn't insist on another room. Lesson learned.

Second, between the two of us, my wife and I took a total of 6 showers between Friday night and Sunday morning and only 2 of which actually had hot water. Is hot water not an expectation when you are paying over $150/night? Both the manager and the desk clerk both tried to make us feel like it was our fault for taking a shower at the wrong time! Since the cold showers were at various times I debunked their flawed excuses. The thing that bugs me is that this happened the LAST time we stayed. I guess just make sure you ask about the hot water schedule so you can time your showers.

Maybe I just expect too much for a $300+ stay for two evenings.
