Pros

Accessible rooms available with specialized amenities

Multiple room configurations including suites with separate living areas

Located in the heart of the Spanish-Colonial district

Cons

1.5 miles from Memorial Presbyterian Church

No on-site restaurant

“This hotel's location within the Historic District places guests steps away from St. Augustine's iconic Spanish-Colonial landmarks, though some may find the accommodations a bit worn for the price. While the staff's friendliness and the complimentary breakfast are definite highlights, potential guests should be aware that some past visitors have noted issues with cleanliness and dated furnishings.”
