Wonderful Experience!
Pros:

We were at the Marker 8 to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. Our room was wonderful. The view from our room was gorgeous! The manager,Gina was there for anything we needed and was very informative and pleasant. The happy hour was great and the breakfast that came along with our room was delicious. This hotel is a hidden gem! It is in walking distance of the historic downtown and right over the Bridge of Lyons. We will be staying here again whenever we visit St. Augustine. Thank you for a wonderful stay and pleasant experience!

Great location, friendly staff, good breakfast
Pros:

Great location, extremely friendly staff. Very clean room , good breakfast. The only negative thing was the window A/C unit which is noisy and doesn't really dehumidify the air.

Great place to stay in St Augustine!
Pros:

Great convenient location. Beautiful view. Comfortable room. Beyond delicious complimentary breakfast. Loved the “suite” with two rooms and kitchenette. Nice furnishings. Great staff. Nice patios (2) for reading and relaxing. Free parking with a great convenient parking lot.
My only complaint is the phone call that was made to our room by the Front Office on the morning of checkout at least 3 hours or more before time to leave. I was sound asleep.
Other than that, I definitely recommend this lovely hotel and would stay there again!!!

Great stay, look forward to coming back again.
Pros:

Staff was great and helped make our anniversary stay a very nice one. Elevator is slow but better than hauling bags up stairs. Balcony with view of the old city and the waterway in between..

Cons:

We booked 2 night stay Friday and Saturday night but the maids opened the door to come into the room on Saturday morning to clean due to no do not disturb door hanger for our door

Spectacular hotel in St Augustine
Pros:

Wonderful location in St. Augustine. The rooms were clean and spacious. The pool area is so relaxing. The breakfast was wonderful. A homemade breakfast overlooking the water. We saw a Manatee and birds during breakfast.
