Staff was pleasant

It was close by to everything we needed and the beaches. It is more of a motel vibe than a villa. Breakfast was very basic.overall it did workout for my and my friend for the weekend for a wedding near by. Beautiful town, beautiful views.

Really quaint venue, reasonably priced, friendly and helpful staff. Only opportunity for improvement is better interior window treatments to fully block out outside lighting and quieter air conditioning unit. Otherwise, definitely worth a visit.

This hotel is very run down. Not very cleans at all. We even had ants in our shower. It was very noisy and there were always people smoking outside the room doors which caused my room to smell like smoke. There was even a barking dog in one of the rooms. I don’t think that pets are allowed in the hotel. The best thing about this hotel was the location. We would not stay here again.
Very dirty chair in our room.

Staff was great. Room was clean and recently remodeled. We did have to resort to using the towels to prevent water stains (including from the ice bucket). Perfect location for catching the trolley, walking to restaurants, liquor store conventionally sharing the parking lot. Outside can sometimes feel the "not safest" at night (but that's not the hotels fault). It was a great place to sleep and perfect location for enjoying St Augustine.

The room was clean enough. The whole property is a bit on the older side & showing some wear and tear. Breakfast was not a highlight. The young lady working the front desk was extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful. Overall, meh, but the price was right compared to other properties in the area and it’s very close & convenient to the old city and attractions.

The property is ok for what it is. Needs to be mopped and more upkeep on the grounds. The bed is very squeaky. It is very convenient to the tourist area which makes it great for a place to drop your stuff and go. If you plan on more time touristing and less time in your room then its fine. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Bathroom floors and all baseboards in the room were very dirty. Bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. We didn’t try the included breakfast based on the appearance of it. The property is home to an old tree visited by the town tour trolley throughout the day, so increased traffic in the parking lot throughout the day that was unexpected. Staff was friendly though. And we were able to walk to most of the things we wanted to see on our visit.

Please pass

The linens appeared unwashed and stained, with visible dirt and debris. Ants had infested the sink and drain area. Additionally, there was a noticeable lack of water pressure in the shower, making it difficult to rinse off or wash completely.

The room was a deluxe king size, paid more than $180. Room was dirty and outdated, nothing close to the pictures on their website. Floor possibly not mop for a couple of weeks, coffee spill all over the floor. Dirty curtain, dirty lamp, wall full of dust. Terrible smell. If you have allergies, stay away from this place.
