Had a wonderful stay. Stayed in oceanfront room with our dogs. Room was clean but the carpet really needs to be replaced with tile floor. Would be much cleaner and pet friendly. I also feel like an elevator would make it much more accessible for everyone. My elderly mom had trouble with the stairs.
Breakfast was good and the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Overall great place to stay, beds were comfy and had a great view. I did not like to have to run across the busy traffic to get to the beach. The staff was fantastic and super nice. We had issues with the room keys not working on the 3rd night, they were very prompt in making new cards for us. Breakfast was good and loved the snacks in the lobby. My boys loved all of the games the hotel had to offer.

This is not a boutique hotel experience - even though they charge a hefty resort fee.
It is an old motel on A1A with loud traffic with an ocean view.
We paid for 2 nights and stayed just the one.

St. Augustine, great short stay
We hadn’t been to St. Augustine in years and were not sure what to expect. Beach access and trolley access to historic downtown was very convenient. Lots of toys and games for the kids and it was pet friendly! Great experience.
