Great weekend stay

I was very pleased with checking in as it was quick and we were able to be in our room earlier than allowed. This allowed us to freshen up after a long ride. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The one lamp shade needs to be replaced but that's minor. They have a playground for small children and pool looked clean. There's also a dog park which i thought was great for folks traveling with dogs. The breakfast was hot and good. There were scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sausage links, waffles to make, bread, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, milk, juice. Nice selection. We booked tickets to the downtown trolley which provided shuttle service which was great. The shower didn't have a lot of pressure but it was fine. Overall we had a great stay and I highly recommended.

Room is clean, pet friendly. It’s on I-95 best for stopover to sleep and just around 15 mins. to St. Augustine Downtown & Beaches. The only thing I didn’t like was, the room above me on the 2nd floor was noisy, good thing I was very tired of a long drive and I was still able to sleep.

Staff was wonderful, check in was quick. Rooms are clean and well appointed. Very comfortable for the price. Only draw back was the noise from the freeway but that wasn’t too bad. Will definitely stay again when I’m in town. Thank you.

Pretty decent!!

Booked a stay for Valentine's weekend to visit Historical Downtown for a motorcycle trip. Arrived later in evening and attendant was very friendly. Its right off the highway so theres a bit of noise, but thats to be expected. The room was around the back side and more private. Upon entry, it was reasonable. Nothing fancy. Sheets clean, towels clean. Bathroom floor had shoe prints on it in front of shower, likely from cleaning and was overlooked. Overall, devent stay. Bed was comfortable, lots of pillows. AC was great for our preferred cold sleeps. O ly about 15 min to downtown. Walked to gas station and tropical smoothie and coffee shop. Worth the money!

We were driving back home from Canada and wanted something quick, clean and a decent rate. The place was pretty clean but you can tell it’s an older hotel with basic “handyman” fixes around the place. There is a highway across the hotel so if you’re on the side it can be noisy. Great that it’s SO dog friendly. The courtyard with the pool, children’s play set and dog park make it awesome for families travelling. Laundry facilities were clean. Breakfast was good. Gym was so small but we used the weights and mats for a quick morning workout before hitting the road.

Good Stay when you’re on your way

Interstate is so close it’s a little loud but besides an ac that made the occasional noise it was great. Now the road construction in front of the hotel is awful and they had the southbound ramp closed during my stay which made for a 15 min detour
