Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
Staying at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were conveniently close to stairs and the elevator, but the noise late at night was a downside. The rooms themselves were very spacious and well-equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and fold-out couch. However, the temperature was uncomfortably hot, even with the AC on full blast, making for a warm evening.
The hotel's location was perfect, right in the heart of St Augustine, with everything within easy walking distance. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although the dining experience was underwhelming. The service was friendly overall but could be more attentive in some areas. The hotel's facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
The hotel had a few drawbacks like old rooms that needed cleaning and maintenance, thin walls, and an unapologetic response to a fire alarm going off. However, the welcome was warm and helpful, with a nice touch of signing a Birthday card. The location was quiet and convenient, though not bustling with activity. The dining experience offered a grab-and-go breakfast. Overall, a mixed experience with room for improvement.
