Enjoyable vacation experience. The best customer service we have ever experienced .
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent. They provided such a variety of choices each day. There was fresh fruit, pancakes, pastries, scrambled eggs, and more. The server Estelle went from table to table asking each person if they were satisfied and offered to get whatever they needed. We offered fruit and blueberry muffins to go the first day.

Cons:

There is a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood. New condos going up across the street . There is no view of the beach or ocean. So there isn't much that can be done by the owners to improve/ change.

Short one night stop on a road trip
Pros:

Breakfast was nice. Rooms were clean with a balcony. Beds comfy. Parking on site. Lots of beach toys & chairs for loan if needed. Beach was a short walk away as was a large supermarket. The centre of St Augustine was a drive away.

Cons:

Please reduce the plastic use at breakfast or at least recycle. Small pots of fruit handed out in single use plastic & then thrown.
Struggled to get on the wifi - we weren't the only ones - had a trip to reception but the receptionist couldn't see a reason either.

Overall, this hotel was a great stay. Value, location and friendly staff can't be beat.
Pros:

The staff was exceptional. So friendly and helpful. Always had a smile. The breakfast was extremely good. Always had full options no matter what time you came in. The location was perfect. So close to the beach. Walk one block and you are on the beach enjoying the ocean. Downtown is only a 5-minute drive away. So much to do. Would recommend this hotel and location to everyone.

Cons:

Wi-Fi needs a boost. It was a little slow. Air conditioning in the common areas seemed to be too warm.
