Hilton Garden Inn St. Augustine Historic District
I was not able to check in at 4 because my room wasn’t ready until 5:30, making me late to the event I was in town for. Also, the bathroom door is a barn door that has issues with the track it rolls on. We were unable to close the door!

Guy Harvey Resort on St Augustine Beach
The beach access is great. Wish they had a coffee bar away from the restaurant. The tiki bar was a good time with live music.
