Outstanding waterfront location at the Bridge of Lions with excellent views and immediate access to historic downtown; location is a repeatedly highlighted strength.

St Augustine stay
Pros:

The front desk staff were very helpful with navigating the area. The location was a short walk from the main area of downtown, while also being tucked in a less touristy area. The water access allowed for a peaceful area to sit and soak in your evening.

Cons:

May need to update the tvs in the room.

We had a nice stay. The staff were all warm and welcoming. We loved the view from the back deck.
Pros:

The locations was wonderful. The view from our back door was gorgeous. It’s in walking distance to the Amp and the historical downtown. The bed was comfy.

Cons:

The only issue I had was how bright at night the light from outside was. I wish I had brought my eye mask.

Perfect choice!
Pros:

Awesome location with a view of St Augustine from our deck - even saw a shark! Delicious, hearty homemade breakfast. We also enjoyed the evening social hour. We enjoyed walking over the bridge and straight into downtown. Welcoming staff and a great place!

A comfortable hotel in an excellent location at a great price.
Pros:

An old-style hotel on the Matanzas River at the foot of the Bridge of Lions, offering spectacular views of the historic city from your comfortable chairs right out your room door. I highly recommend upgrading your stay to a river view room. You will not be disappointed. An afternoon social hour with cheese and wine, and an excellent breakfast elevate the stay.

Excellent service
Pros:

Comfy beds. Clean room. Daily HOMEMADE breakfast. Daily social hour! On the water, bay view! Daily sightings - dolphins, birds, crab, and fish! Private porch with rocking chair. Uncrowded.

Cons:

A few of the boards on the deck will need replaced soon. Didn't deter my enjoyment.
