This motel was extremely dirty, as shown in the pictures I included. One of the towels was stained, there was a small stain on the sheets, and we also found a few hairs on the bed. The floor was dirty—I walked barefoot for just a few minutes and my feet were black afterward. It felt like any cheap motel, just decorated in a cuter way. The check-in system was very quick and easy, which was a plus. We were only here for a few hours during a road trip, but if you’re planning to stay longer, I wouldn’t recommend it.

The room was clean. Thank you. Suggestion: new towels are desperately needed, especially for the price of this room $230. These towels are so worn and harsh, nothing fit for a college dorm even. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

The check-in process is on your phone. So make sure to text the number before arriving to get your code. The room had an odd smell like the filter needed to be changed. The room was cute, but no chair in the room, and the walls were very thin. Between the dog barking on one side and 4am couple fitting in the next room the stay was not very quiet. There is also no breakfast. And no one to ask to get linen from.

Very charming old fashioned motel. The rooms are on the smaller side but they worked for us. The pool area was great! Air conditioning was good too. We had to actually turn it way down at night.

This property did not have someone in person in the front office. They did self check in online. When they sent me the code they sent me the wrong code. I arrived late at night, tired had so much trouble getting in touch with someone to get the right code. To add to this this hotel does not have an elevator therefore it was an inconvenience for my mother who uses a cane.

Well, I’ve stayed here before and I find that it’s a very cute place and it’s clean but the air system in the rooms are horrible. It’s very human and wet and sticky. You feel like your hair is heavy. The air is very humid even though the air condition is on, it does not get rid of the humidity. The floor was very sticky, and it was a very uncomfortable to sleep. I can’t explain what I’m trying to say, but the air conditioning system does not get rid of the humidity in that room that is something that needs to be looked into. Other than that, it was a pretty good stay.

This hotel had the shortest mattresses we had ever slept in and the noisiest, they must be ancient. Tons of noise from the road and tons of light made it very difficult to sleep.

I’m very disappointed to arrive and find that this is the second room that has not been properly cleaned. When booking a room, guests expect it to be clean and ready upon arrival. I came to St. Augustine to celebrate my birthday and enjoy my first visit, but instead, I’ve had to spend time cleaning the room myself. Your website and social media posts are very deceiving when it comes to the actual condition that this motel is in. (Completely run down).
