St. Augustine hotel guide. Independent hotel in St. Augustine, Florida

"What a little gem this hotel is!! We stayed for 2 nights, right when the Nights of Lights started (Nov 15). This event was a very enjoyable, unexpected treat! The hotel is close enough to the old city to be able to walk. It is a little peek into "Old Florida", with a heavy Spanish flair. Our room was clean and neat. The free breakfast was very good, with lots of options. There is also a pool, but we weren't there to swim, so I can't comment on it. But I WILL comment on the front desk personnel because they just made the stay! So helpful, friendly, professional and just plain nice. Southern Hospitality at its best!! You can purchase tickets for the sightseeing trolley right at the front desk, and the trolley will even pick you up at the hotel (although you could walk to the depot, if you enjoy walking). All in all, a very enjoyable couple of days in St. Augustine, a beautiful city with tons of history, all lovingly preserved for the past 200+ years!!"

"Clean and spacious rooms. Good location."
