Bayfront Inn - Historic Waterfront Hotel with Rodriguez House and Pool in Old Town St. Augustine
Located in the heart of Old Town district dating back to 1572, this St. Augustine hotel centers around the Rodriguez House - an original First Spanish Period building constructed by Royal Decree of the King of Spain. The Bayfront Inn features 36 rooms with waterfront or bay views, equipped with premium bedding, air conditioning, cable TV, and free WiFi. Guest accommodations include queen rooms, double queen rooms, and two-bedroom suites with king and queen beds. A complimentary breakfast buffet serves rotating items like scrambled eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy, and breakfast casseroles. The property offers an outdoor pool with a gazebo and a business center with a desktop computer in the lobby. The Bayfront Inn's position places guests within walking distance to Spanish-Colonial landmarks, with the 1672 Castillo de San Marcos just steps away and the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine within 0.5 miles.
Pros
Historic Rodriguez House features four king rooms with original coquina walls
Complimentary on-site parking (one space per room)
All rooms include mini-fridges, Keurig coffee makers, and triple-sheeted bedding
Walking distance to eight restaurants within 0.5 miles, including Harry's Seafood Bar and O.C. White's
Cons
Limited parking with only one space per room
The Fountain of Youth attraction requires transportation, located 1.5 miles away
“Here's my take: the location proves ideal for exploring St. Augustine's historic district, and the recognition as part of the Rodriguez House gives it unique historical charm. I especially like that some rooms face the bay, and the outdoor spaces, like the pool and gazebo, struck me as a real plus. For a relaxed visit focused on local exploration, it's a solid choice.”

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, located perfectly for exploring all the historical spots in St. Augustine. The rooms were nicely kept and offered a comfortable experience, but I felt they could use some updates, especially in terms of amenities. The dining options, while decent, could use more variety to enhance the breakfast experience. It's clear that this hotel provides good value for the location and amenities available, but minor improvements could elevate the experience further.
