The staff was welcoming, the location cannot be more central, super close to the beach, groceries, restaurants. The building is old and has a little musty smell, the bed is not very comfortable but i still loved it and hope I can stay here again.

This motel has become one our favorite places to stay when we go to St. Augustine. The rooms are huge, it is steps from the beach, and there is plenty to eat within walking distance.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. It was a last minute decision and we were able to get our room super quick. It’s an older motel however it was comfortable and convenient for us. We will be returning!

Even though it's a little outdated the rooms were clean and functional. It's a shame that places like this are few and far between. Hopefully I can plan a stay here next year.

Not bad for the price. Older motel. 2 bedroom is divided by a shower curtain so not much privacy. Close to beach and Publix.
