I read a lot of reviews about this hotel, both good and bad. So my expectations were not high based on the bad reviews. However, I was in for a great surprise. Yes, the hotel is an older building but in good order. The rooms are nicely decorated, although they could use flat screens tvs :)! Location to the beach is great and this beach is incredible. The staff is one of the best I've ever dealt with and I travel the world constantly. In fact, the staff from the front end to the cleaning crew were always nice, pleasant and respectful. My hats off to them. The value of the room is more than worth it. We plan to return to St Augustine and will probably stay at this hotel again.
Room Tip: If you want a beach view, you need to be on at least the 3rd floor for the rooms facing the beach...

Thank you for giving us a try. We are glad you found us to be such a great value. Your compliments about our staff are also very appreciated. I will be sure to share your words with everyone here at the hotel. As for flat-screen TVs, we only have them in our oceanfront rooms for the time being. We hope you do stay with us the next time you are visiting St. Augustine!
