No Regrets. Staying here again!
Pros:

The location was fantastic! You can watch sunsets over St.Augustine from your balcony. A 7 minute walk to downtown. The Staff: Gina ( the manager) was amazing. Gary is the night hotel attendant. Very nice and knowledgeable guy. I will be booking a stay there again. Breakfast: the staff cook you a breakfast. The Ricotta Blintz was the best every morning. And all food was delicious and came “with” your room free.
The fire-pit was great after getting out of the hot tub. Yes all pictures are from the hotel and the manager Gina

Cons:

Only thing was the maids did NOT mop the floors. My wife’s feet were black on the tile floors.

Loved the staff, the view, the breakfast & location
Pros:

The staff was excellent, courteous and professional.

Cons:

The beds weren’t bad but prefer a firmer bed. Used a small pillow to support my spine. If you like a softer bed then it’s perfect.

Wonderful, magical, one of our best stays!
Pros:

So much!! Such a cute, clean, welcoming property. My husband and I originally came for the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, but decided to extend our stay in St Augustine. What a wonderful surprise this place ended up being!! So cool to see the drawbridge and boats right from your own balcony! The staff was super friendly and accommodating. And the breakfast!! Probably the best breakfast we’ve ever had, and it’s included!! Be sure not the miss the breakfast! We WILL be back. I’m going to get my dad a stay for his 70th bday as well:)

Cons:

If you want to walk to the historic district, it’s a little bit of a walk across the bridge, but it is doable. We just drove to everything. Nothing against this gem of a property tho!

Refreshing Hotel Stay in Perfect Setting
Pros:

This was such a refreshing stay with Marker 8! Our ck in was thorough with a mini tour with Host and what the Hotel offers. Spacious room and bath, perfect covered balcony with harbor, dolphin and bridge view. Loved happy hour and mingling with guests. Breakfast offered, but other plans so missed it. Love Marker 8!

Cons:

That we needed to leave!

Pros:

The location was perfect and so was the view. They offer free delicious breakfast every morning and our server Belinda was so nice and sweet. We were greeted by Gina when we checked in and she was so nice and helpful. She is very knowledgeable of St. Augustine and was very informational.

Wonderful location and nicely kept property!
Pros:

The view is amazing. Breakfast was fabulous and all the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The property is well kept and we were provided with everything we needed to make it an enjoyable stay. The location in proximity to the city is an easy 12 minute +/- walk over the bridge. It was great we didn't need to drive to town every time we went out for the day.

Cons:

1. A tiny annoyance was that on our initial arrival, although the room was very clean, the room had a musty smell, but after airing out for a day, it was much better. 2. A door stop to keep the slider open for fresh air would be helpful as the sliding door closes automatically whether we wanted to keep it ajar or not. Other than that, it really is a gem of a place!
