This place was perfect for a quick getaway. The room was clean, comfortable, and a short walk or bike ride to the main area. The outside area was also great for enjoying a drink in the evening or coffee in the morning. We’d definitely stay again.

Clean and convenient, great for an over night trip

Great value for the price paid on the dates we stayed for location above all else. About a 12-minute walk to the historic uptown shops & Columbia restaurant - with other fun shops along the way. Also walkable to pizza (right next door) and Mc Donald’s for morning coffee. Room itself (unit 3) was adequately stocked for a basic room. Welcome mat on unit next to us was falling apart, which was a comical first impression. Cleaning person removed it after guest left (good call).A little additional lighting for the path to back parking would be a great addition. Overall a good value for a basic room that was affordable and close to what most would want to see and do.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Overall we enjoyed our stay with how close it was to downtown St. Augustine. The room was the perfect size for me and my wife for a long weekend stay. However the bed was not comfortable, the middle sagged quite a bit making us slouch in the middle of the night and was very loud when you moved around and made it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. The shower head was not very clean as well as the walls in the bathroom had some kind of substance running down them.Despite this we still had a great weekend away.
