The room was spacious and clean. We were away from the parking lot, so not noisy. Didn’t love the pillows-they were small and square and stuffed with I don’t know what. The mattress sagged in the middle (king bed). The bathroom: no shower gel, just shampoo and conditioner in small bottles and the towels were small. The air conditioning unit is very loud but works well. Breakfast was good with several choices. I don’t know if I’d stay again, mainly because of the pillows.

The rooms are clean. The rooms have a small coffee maker in them. The staff is friendly. There is a gas station in walking distance. There is a restaurant Taco Queen's, a smoothie place and a coffee shop all in walking distance. Going down the block you have McDonald's in distance. There is a wing restaurant.

Property was clean and well maintained. Nice little dog park. Nice clean pool. Better-than-usual breakfast. Chair in room a little rundown, but furniture otherwise fine. Our main issue was that the location was 20 minutes from St. Augustine and 30 minutes from certain beaches. But it was a good place to stay and good value for the price.
