This place was a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t sure what to expect because it was such a great price. Turns out to be the BEST location just two blocks from the golf course, a few blocks from the church ruins and one block to tons of restaurant choices! Don’t stay at Rusack’s when you can stay here instead.

An excellent hotel for short stays in St Andrews. Well appointed, very clean and comfortable. Our room was small but had all the amenities we required which were of a good standard. During our visit the restaurant was closed but a good continental breakfast was provided. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Reasonable value. We would stay again.

The staff was amazing! So welcoming and helpful. The hotel is in the best location…close to the ocean, near market street…everything is very walkable. The rooms are cute. I’m a light sleeper so ear plugs are a good idea if you need silence. We heard a lot of traffic in the hallway, but truly a great place to stay.
