We were driving back home from Canada and wanted something quick, clean and a decent rate. The place was pretty clean but you can tell it’s an older hotel with basic “handyman” fixes around the place. There is a highway across the hotel so if you’re on the side it can be noisy. Great that it’s SO dog friendly. The courtyard with the pool, children’s play set and dog park make it awesome for families travelling. Laundry facilities were clean. Breakfast was good. Gym was so small but we used the weights and mats for a quick morning workout before hitting the road.

This motel was in decent shape for it's age. The style is old school Florida and the staff take good care of it, but it definitely is a budget place. With the A/C on I couldn't hear the highway noise, and the location is super convenient.

The staff was very helpful and couteous. The clerk that checked us in was very knowledgeable and informative. He was positive as if he loved his empliyer. I met another Clerk during breakfast. I liked his serious but gentle way in responding to my question. I did enjoy staying here. My bed was very comfortable. I needed 3 pillows and there were 5. Plenty of covers. We were on vacation. Best stay in a motel in a while. We Will be back as we love St. Augustine Fl.

Hard to find as hardly any signage. Also, expedia needs to show a phone number to this property. I had to google their number and ask them how to find them. We spent 45 minutes driving around to find them.

Staff seemed to be inconvenienced when checking in and out. There was no tv remote in the room and none was provided for our stay, so we had no tv to watch. Breakfast was ok.
