This was our first time visiting St. Augustine. We found the Bayfront Marin House to be charming & convenient. It is walking distance to the downtown historic district where there are many options to dine & shop. The staff was hospitable, prompt with responses, and they served a delightful breakfast as well as appetizers & a choice of drink the evening before. They brought me a lovely tray of hot tea when we arrived back from our late walk. Small touches make the difference. The room was very clean; the sheets very soft. The only drawbacks were the parking - a good few blocks of walking to the lot, and the noise. The walls of this over 240 year old building are paper thin. The staff, in their efficiency, made a lot of noise early in the morning providing breakfasts & doing cleanup. If you want to sleep in a bit, the noise level was too high. Still, for a weekend or mid-week getaway, we recommend Bayfront Marin House.
