This hotel is located close to the main areas of St. Augustine. You are able to walk to most attractions in the area. The room was clean and well kept. The truly fabulous part is the central location with out breaking the bank to stay this close to downtown. It is surrounded by many bars and restaurants.

This location is great. The room was not fancy of course but it was clean. The staff was all exceptionally nice, and they were very accommodating to us. Above and beyond. You can basically walk anywhere you would want to go from here, and the parking is good and the price is right!

If not for the exceptional location, I would not normally choose this type of accommodation. Well past its prime, from narrow steps, excessively humid almost damp in room, cramped bathroom, old stained tile, banged up woodwork, exhaust fan that runs but apparently does not move air, extension cords fastened to stair rail and painted to match. Noisy. Positives - comfortable bed, relatively clean. Nice staff, secure parking (paid but worth it) and in middle of everything. Fortunately we spent most of time enjoying local spots. Recommended diner next store was excellent for breakfast. A relative bargain, but you get what you pay for.

Rooms are small but very much updated and very clean and comfortable. Staff is top notch from the front desk, maid service, to the parking lot staff. This is in the heart of the historical town, and close to every thing the St. Augustine has to offer.
