Park and Stay
Pros:

Comfortable bed...proximity to st augustine historic waterfront awesome.

Cons:

Parking was not convenient. Had to walk a half mile each way to park the car...then the stairs with my large luggage...then back in the morning to retrieve my car. Nice views along the way (and a starbucks) but definitely a haul.

We won't be back unless it gets a make over, too many other places in the area that were much bette
Pros:

The staff were great when booking and helpful when we arrived answering the phone promtly, and location was great. You could walk to everything so didn't really need the car unless going to the beach, however since I was here with work partly, I needed to unload and reload a lot of things and it was a bit inconvenient of a location.

Cons:

Parking attendant could have been more helpful. My main gripe was the ac bearly worked so it was humid and warm in the room. The decor was ok but rather dated and carpet was old. Everything else was adequate but we did look at other places while we were there and feel this was overpriced. The parking was very far too a good 10 minute walk.

Good place to stay when in St Augustine.
Pros:

Comfortable, close to everything in historic district, had kitchenette, was clean

Cons:

Too many stairs to the room we stayed in. No windows in the room except the one that had air conditioner. Parking was not on premises but didn't know where to park so we stayed there.

Pros:

Room was very clean and inviting. Bed very comfy. The attendant for OC Whites was actually incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I know that sounds weird, but he was tge one givingbus all the info, not the owners as you must enter their lot to get to your rooms.

Cons:

Didn't bother us, but know there are stairs to get to the room. You do hear noise from OC Whites at night. Not bad in our opinion but we did hear the music if that kind of thing bothers you. The parking lot for your vehicle is a few blocks away so be prepared to walk. You can unload your vehicle then you gotta move your car
