Great stay and convenient location.
Pros:

My spouse and I were here for 3 nights and it was not fancy, but met every need. The bed was comfortable, very clean, friendly staff, and they provided each a bottle of water per day (perhaps more if needed). We didn’t take advantage of happy hour or breakfast due to the hours, but was nice to have if wanted. It was just over the bridge and could have walked 1/4 of mile to the historic downtown. There are a few places around the hotel you can visit or eat such as O’Steen’s, which I highly recommend! So this is not a bad location to stay at even though you aren’t in the midst of everything.

Pros:

We would recommend this property to anyone. Overlooking the bay, it was relaxing watching the boat activities and the sunset.
The location was convenient to the historic district of St Augustine.
The breakfast was included and was cooked to order. No Danish, cold cereal etc.

Cons:

I can't think of anything negative.

Pros:

The location is amazing. It is close to downtown without being in the very busy areas. It's a walk over the bridge to all the main downtown areas. The view is awesome and everyone was friendly.

Cons:

The rooftop deck was being repaired so we couldn't access it, not a big deal. There really is nothing we don't like, this hotel is one of our favorites.

Perfect location, great staff, clean rooms!
Pros:

Gina!!! Gina at the front desk was so great!! There were 9 couples in our group that were checking in at the same time! Gina was fun, she was patient and she was soooo helpful!! And Belinda! Belinda at the Captains Table was so nice, accommodating, great multi tasker and so friendly! The staff here is on point! They clearly enjoy what they do! Thank you to both of them for a great experience!

Cons:

The spa pool. I would NOT recommend this hotel in any of the summer months if you are hoping for a pool. The pool was so hot even after we were told it was turned down. There is zero reason this hotel should be wasting their money heating this pool May through October. This would not deter me from staying here but they really need to reassess the pool situation.

Pros:

Location was amazing for exploring historic downtown.

Room was good size, great outdoor patio, nice bathroom. All the facilities you'd expect at a hotel room.

All the staff were friendly.

We'd stay here again and would recommend them to others looking to explore St Augustine historic downtown :)

View, Location & Staff - the best!
Pros:

We enjoyed our stay in Marker 8. We have a private balcony and enjoyed our view of Atlantic Ocean, overlooking the town and bridge. We even saw dolphins while watching the sunset and during sunrise. The location is excellent. Quiet and easy accessible to sights and comfort of restaurants etc. The free parking was excellent. The staff were so gracious and attentive. Gary on the reception area gave us a thorough walk through and recommendations. The ladies in the dining area were sweet and nice. We definitely will come back when we get a chance.

Cons:

The AC and bathroom were loud and may need of maintenance. The AC was giving off a musty smell. Despite this, we still love the hotel.

Sobrevalorado
Pros:

Rica piscina y buena ubicación. Parking incluido. Cama comoda

Cons:

El staff desagradable, llegamos y no nos ofrecieron el happy hour, estando servido… luego nos metimos a la piscina y no habian toallas. Agua tampoco habia. El desayuno incluido una verguenza… lo venden como desayuno del chef y no tiene nada de especial. La verdad esta evaluado con 9.5 y no lo merece! Le daria un 8 quizas, pero no mas que eso. Caro para lo que es
