Nice place to stay for a beach getaway.
Pros:

Staff was courteous, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel has great views of the ocean. The proximity of the ocean is a plus, and stores and restaurants are walking distance.

Cons:

Hotel was a little dated and the A/C unit was loud. The pool is small.

Manageable, but barely. A beautiful view, but a so-so value.
Pros:

The first thing we noticed when we walked into the room was the view. The elevator was slow, but it worked fairly well. The front desk and housekeeping people were nice. We were on a lower floor and it was still beautiful. But then, it's the ocean. The room was clean and fairly well kept, with only a few minor repairs showing. The refrigerator/freezer worked well as did the microwave. The location was great, not only by the beach, but with a Publix next door. And it was easy to get on and off the island to go to St Augustine.

Cons:

The luggage trolleys were terrible. They were tiny and difficult to steer, especially for someone with a disability. The door lock was barely working. We did get in, but it was so difficult that we ended propping our door closed without latching it if we were in the room because of the trouble. The Do not Disturb sign was so tiny that the housekeeper didn't even see it. The breakfast provided nothing edible in the way of protein. I went to Publix instead.

For a short stay, the price you pay is worth it for what you get.
Pros:

The view was great. The pool is very small but very clean. The beach is just a few steps away which is very convenient. Even at the busiest part of the day there was plenty of room for us to set up chairs and a tent. The beach was very clean and the lifeguards were very attentive. The entire staff was very sweet and a pleasure to be around.

Cons:

The bathrooms had more than a little mold, as well as the inside of the dresser/ entertainment center. The beds were not comfortable at all. Very hard pillows and mattress. The beds were very clean so I looked past any issues. The carpet could have vacuumed a little better, since we saw a lot of crumbs from an old snack that must have fallen behind the nightstand.

Nicer than it appears online. Very clean and comfortable with lovely views from the balcony.
