St. Augustine Motellit

Plussat: Cleanliness, price and location

Plussat: Great location ..price and slept so good on their mattress

Plussat: Great location overlooking the water and close to downtown St Augustine and the historical quarter. Perfect for walking to nearby attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Recently refurbished rooms.

Miinukset: The pool area needs some softer landscaping. No elevators-not an issue for us but it could affect some guests.

Plussat: The staff was friendly and accommodating to our odd, last minute arrival time. The location (waterfront) is also within a 5 minute walk of the Spanish fort, historic downtown, nightlife, but still quietly enough away for a good nights sleep.

Miinukset: I didn’t like other people’s bad reviews of this place because they seem very misleading and extremely picky for what this place offers. You can tell they’re actually an owner operated place that cares about their customers as soon as you arrive!

Plussat: Everything was as expected and i really like the cleanliness. Friendly staff! I look forward to staying again.

Miinukset: n/a

Plussat: Great location and friendly staff. It’s an older hotel, but the renovations and updates were very well done! Easy walk to all the sites.

Miinukset: Room had BAD MOLD/Mildew odor. Smelled like it had been under water for quite a while.

Plussat: Loved the remodel- small bathroom had many bonuses- showerhead- linens- really surprised!!!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Comfortable beds, nice shower,great view, free parking. Excellent location. Walking distance to almost everything.

Miinukset: Needs maintenance. Doors and walls dirty. Bathroom window screen falling apart. Small roaches. No phone in room to call front desk with questions.

Plussat: We were on the 2nd floor balcony overlooking the bay. What a view! Sitting out there at night with a glass of wine and the added bonus of seeing dolphin swimming in the bay. Everything was absolutely wonderful from the moment we arrived.

Plussat: We stayed in one of the recently renovated rooms. The new rooms are very nice. Work is still taking place on some of the other rooms as of 03/27/17

Plussat: What a great value and excellent location.

Plussat: Love this property for its location and quaint atmosphere

Plussat: he entire staff were friendly and helpful, they went out of their way to make sure you were comfortable. Would stay here again.

Plussat: We really enjoyed staying at this unique 1950s motel. Feels like going back in time. Loved their swimming pool. We got to walk to the beach to see both moonrise and then next morning's sunset. Awesome!!

Plussat: The people were great. The breakfast was great every day. The beach was literally across the road

Miinukset: The room was so small. The headboard is up on 2x4’s and bounces when you move in bed. Only one chair to sit on. No decorations on the wall. A small hook for hanging your clothes. The biggest complaint is the room never gets dark. The outside lights are on all night and where it is located there is just a blind. No curtain.

Plussat: The atmosphere was incredible. Beach access A+. People A+

Plussat: The staff was nice and very apologetic.

Miinukset: Had to check in at a different property. Given a room and it was not cleaned, waited 90 minutes to get in. Property was short staffed. We have stayed there before and enjoyed it but this visit was extremely disappointing. I don't think we will return.

Plussat: , breakfast was very good the staff was very friendly and it was a really cool place to stay

Miinukset: I don't have any complaints

Plussat: Motif and location

Plussat: The staff are amazing, breakfast was nice, room clean and comfortable and the location is wonderful. Steps from the beach but private and tucked away. Would highly recommend and definitively stay here again. If I could afford it I would move in!

Miinukset: Only complaint would be comfort of bed, not horrible but typical hard hotel bed making sleep difficult.

Plussat: They were so accommodating and so friendly, so nice! Love that it's family owned. Cool retro details. Great location by beach and so close to driving downtown to historic district. Very quiet area, nice after the hubub of downtown. Breakfast basic continental but the room was priced well. Loved our honeymoon suite, which they upgraded for us at no extra charge, when we told them the next morning that we were in town to get married. So easy to come and go, close drive to whatever we needed. Publix super market on the corner, too. Highly recommend the downtown historic district, walking around the fort, too. We'll be back to St Aug and would definitely stay here again! <3

Miinukset: Could've been a little cleaner, but I can be picky about that. We kept forgetting to tell them the ceiling light fixture didn't work. Had to turn the A/C off now and then in order for it to come back on and cool the room (It's August, hot weather). Fresh food at breakfast was for red meat eaters (hash), and I'd have loved some scrambled eggs. But we were fine with instant oatmeal and bananas for the 4 mornings. Otherwise, we highly recommend and we plan to return, St Aug is a fun town and we'll stay here for sure!!!

Plussat: Everything

Plussat: Room were clean, staff very friendly, close to the beach .

Miinukset: Things were fine.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable, room very clean and the staff was super friendly.

Miinukset: It was not easy to find, the doors are very thin, you can hear your neighbors talking. The breakfast area was so packed we had to leave and go back to our room, since there a limited amount of seats.

Plussat: Everything was as expected. A nice clean place to stay. Breakfast was a nice bonus in the comfortable lobby. The rooms appeared to be updated along with the landscape in the central courtyard.

Miinukset: Difficult to find location. Would of like to have somewhere to charge electronic devices bedside. All bedside outlets were used and no USB ports. Didn't see the point of poached eggs at breakfast buffet. Maybe a different type of scrambled egg or breakfast meat. A white privacy sheet to the window treatment would be nice to let in some natural sunlight while maintaining privacy.

Plussat: It was a good location for us, the breakfast was good and the staff was very friendly and courteous and the bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: The room was too warm because the air conditioner was obviously old and didn’t effectively!

Plussat: EVERYTHING WAS OK EXCEPT LOW WATER PRESSURE IN THE BATHROOM

Miinukset: EVERYTHING WAS OK EXCEPT LOW WATER PRESSURE IN THE BATHROOM - IT MAKES SHOWERING MORE DIFFICULT.

Plussat: the pool and hot tub thats it

Miinukset: people running and screaming around the rooms

Plussat: Breakfast was simple but good. Wifi had great reception I was really impressed

Miinukset: Beds were a little uncomfortable, but standard hotel matresses so I cant really complain. Nothing else comes to mind

Plussat: Breakfast was very good. Outside noise was minimal but our room was not facing freeway. That made a huge difference. Spacious room, nicely decorated.

Miinukset: Walls are thin. Room next door had dogs and could be heard all night walking on laminate floor Shower head was broken. More water hit ceiling than me.

Plussat: We have stayed here three times in the last year. Extremely clean and comfortable. You can’t beat the price either. Better than staying at the Hilton!!

Plussat: The beds were comfortable, the pool was very nice, my son thoroughly enjoyed the tv and all the channels as well as the wifi. I will definitely be coming back. Breakfast was nice, I happen to love eating in the morning, nice selection of food for people to eat in the morning.

Miinukset: I found the door to the bathroom had to brush by the bed. The phone had no cord to be able to call out.

Plussat: Price was good facilities very clean spacious handicapped bath staff very friendly And pet friendly we have a service dog and he loved it too

Plussat: Trifecta-Clean, Comfortable and Quiet!!

Plussat: Easy truck parking, front desk staff was very nice. Rooms were super clean and roomy.

Plussat: The front desk was able to quickly resolve a reservation mixup at our advantage.

Miinukset: The AC fan was very loud.

Plussat: We got in at 1:30 am. and left at 8:00 a.m. They held the room for us and off we went. I called to let them know that we were going to be late and they said that it was okay.

Plussat: Close to the beach

Miinukset: There was blood on the walls where someone was being nasty other than that all was fine

Plussat: I had stayed here before. The only thing I would like to have seen was notification that the place was under renovations.

Plussat: Indoor pool. Close to beach and restaurants

Miinukset: It is not the employee's fault but my room door wasn't opening. Had to wait for a locksmith to open and then room was changed to a different one.

Plussat: The recently renovated room is really cute. I loved the beds! They were so comfortable! { I have a king NECTOR mattress on my bed at home. I purchased 2 months ago. Oh how I would switch out for one theirs in heartbeat!! THEY ARE WONDERFUL!! I also love the lighting on each sides of the headboards!! They are the coolest EVER!!! { And they are dimmable :)) The air conditioner worked beautifully. I like the fact that even when the air itself shuts off , there is actually an option to constantly keep the fan running {which we did. It really helps drown out the noises outside on the balcony dinning area at The Salt Life restaurant { their music is fairly loud at times! It is located across the way from the side of the hotel in which we stayed. So the constant fan running really helps A LOT! I also liked the new door handles/locks { no need to insert keycards in those pesky little slots anymore}... It has the touch tech. Makes getting into your room so much easier! The pool is nice. { It is supposedly heated pool} The pool room itself is extremely hot and stuffy. The water itself... not so much. It was always cold. The breakfast is ok. I usually had bananas and cheerios. They should try to mix it all up a bit though. Pre packaged pastries are ok every now and again. It is the same stuff everyday. Overall the stay was good. There are just a few things that need to be addressed for a more pleasant stay for their guests. Caulking needs to be addressed in the tub/shower also

Miinukset: Where to start here? When shower curtain is closed & water is on it's too short. We ended up with a lot of water on the floor after each shower because of this.{we were courteous & got it up} The new toilet rocks, literally! It isn't bolted down properly. I did not like the fact that the rooms do not have a microwave. They block off the dinning area in the lobby, so we were confident we would not be allowed to use that particular microwave after breakfast hours. Foods & Drinks must be kept in the fridge due to the little tiny black ants that flood the room{sink/counter top} over the smallest whiff of anything. Room service only does the minimum that is necessary. They do not clean from under the mattress pads that are under the fitted sheets{we found food crumbs etc. under it} Even though there is a mattress protector on the mattress itself, still a bit unsettling to me} We also had a mishap with a pack of coffee.{ They are in a filter pack inside the packet} well the filter pack somehow not closed off during packing obviously } when the packet itself was open coffee grounds hit the floor. It sat there for 2 days. Room service had to have seen it {we even put our used towels right beside it, so there'd be no doubt.} On the 3rd day we realized, They were not going to bother with it. So,we just used our towels & washcloths to wipe it up {I hope those stains come out lol} Instructions to work the cute alarm clock would've been nice:-) The light is also dimmable, & can be shut off. We didn't figure all this out until our very last night there.{clearly by accident.} We had been covering it with towels, the light was so bright. The time was also set an hour late and the alarm was preset to 6 am. Which I am not complaining about this at all! We left well enough alone :) It's always daylight at all hours.

Plussat: Very convenient location. Door lock broke with housekeeping & the staff called us to get permission to move our things if necessary. The problem was handled before returning to the motel.

Miinukset: Breakfast could be better.

Plussat: Brian was great!

Miinukset: More of a breakfast choice

Plussat: Great location

Plussat: Has lots of facilities nearby. Good access to the beach

Miinukset: There was no hanging area in the room and that was the reason I scored the facilities as good and not excellent. There was only one case rack and as this was a double bed room with the possibility of four people being in this room I didn’t think that was enough especially as there was no hanging area. Also the sink did not have a plug and my husband had to fill a plastic cup with water in order to fill the sink and have a shave. The way the plug hole was you couldn’t get any plug in anyway.

Plussat: The location was great for the price. We didn’t expect much for 2.5 stars but it should’ve been 1 Star.

Miinukset: The carpet was soaked, not sure if the AC unit was leaking or the 1” gap under the door. The tub was black and the stopper was broken. Overall the room just didn’t feel clean. Breakfast was cereal, bananas, white toast and pastries.

Plussat: The staff was Very responsive and helpful; we were able to transfer to a newly updated room that was Amazing, was clean, bright & clean smelling too!!

Miinukset: First room we were given (Older room) smelled like a Wet Dog; breakfast was mainly carbs (cereal, danishes & muffins) and lacked protein (bacon, sausage, eggs)...

Plussat: Very convenient location, right across the street from the beach. The room was clean and quiet. The Continental breakfast was OK. Check in and check out were quick and easy.

Miinukset: Slightly funky, unidentifiable odor in the room, but not bad. Refrigerator was not in its cabinet, but was pulled out onto the floor. I expected a little more for the price. Pets not allowed - I travel a lot to scent detection competitions with my dogs, and was disappointed that this nice hotel would not be an option for us in the future.

Plussat: Front desk people were friendly! :)

Miinukset: Well.. my balcony door did not open at all and the humidity in the room was suffocating. The shower reminded us of the drain from the movie It. There was an eaten apple core by our bed upon entry, and we killed a roach on our nightstand coming back from a night out.

Miinukset: The outside doors ere open 24 hrs a day, the hot water was luke warm at best, beds were lumpy, large cracks in the walls, door keys were not working twice had to go and get reprogramed. The whole place was run down.

Plussat: price and location

Miinukset: the door to the balcony didn't lock!

Plussat: It was the only place we could find that would accept pets during a mandatory evacuation.

Miinukset: Room was disgusting, looked like it hadn't been updated in 30 years, carpets were filthy, everything had a musty smell, definitely not a $90/night hotel.

Plussat: I liked the waffles, the cereal and the room!

Miinukset: I didn't like the over charges and being charged for theday I left!

Plussat: Friendly staff that were accommodating to our preferred room request. Super comfy beds, top AC, great location for us, pool was brilliant.

Miinukset: It was clean but not spotless clean, there is a bit room for improvement.

Plussat: Just a little off the highway. As you pull in don't be shocked! Part of the hotel looks closed with paper on the windows...Drive a little father in the parking lot and you will see the good part. :) I always like the breakfast at Super 8.

Miinukset: Asked for a wake up call, didn't get one.

Plussat: The room had ants and roaches, did not have a microwave. The pool was down the whole time I was there. Ask to talk to a manager twice and never got to

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The quietness and the pool

Miinukset: There was no microwave

Plussat: Breakfast included

Plussat: It was your typical breakfast with coffee, breads, waffles, fruit.....

Miinukset: There was left over food in the refrigerator. We where lucky we didn't get robbed. While we where enjoying the beautiful city of Saint Augustine. Housekeeping left our door open. The rooms smell, the carpets are dirty and feels wet. The hallway is hot no AC. The leave the hallways doors open for air. This place if falling apart.

Plussat: With the exception of bathtub slow drain and toilet bowl loose, my overall experience was good. Room was Nice and Cool.

Miinukset: Slow tub drain/ loose toilet bowl.
