St. Augustine Motellit

Plussat: I seriously look at conditions of properties when I book, and Cozy Inn is just that, Cozy and exceptional , particularly for the cost. Cozy Inn is more than comparable to the major brands. I was totally delighted with my stay.

Miinukset: Not much!

Plussat: Location is good for downtown or the beaches

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: My husband and I stayed in the honeymoon suite. It was perfect for our night away. The room was immaculate in terms of cleanliness. The decor was cute, reminded us of a beach motel down the shore. The women who run the establishment are lovely and gave us great recommendations for dinner. I would definitely come back again.

Miinukset: Albeit beachy, the decor could use a little updating.

Plussat: The staff was amazing and the room was beautiful and comfortable. We will definitely be back again.

Plussat: The small unit was very nicely decorated and I had ample and thick towels and bath amenities. The reception was very friendly! The grounds were very well taken care of and the decor and flowers were lovely. It really matches the name of the resort, The Cozy Inn!

Miinukset: The TV didn't work most of the time. The receptionist came to help me a couple times, but there was still a problem.

Plussat: Very friendly and accommodating

Plussat: We liked most everything! The room was clean (other than an odor concern I’ll mention later). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are small, but comfortable, well maintained, and painted pleasant colors (some hotels pick terrible colors. Lol). The breakfast was very good! The shuttle service the inn participates in was also a winner! It made it possible to avoid the hassles driving and finding parking. Southern Oaks Inn will be our place of choice when we return to St Augustine!

Miinukset: When we arrived our room had an odor. My husband and I had a hard time deciding what it was. It smelled like cigarette smoke, but also like floor cleaner. The floors were spotless and shiny, so we left the door open to air the room out a bit and didn’t worry about it. Very dumb on our part!! We were nearly charged $150.00 when it was assumed we caused the smell! Thankfully the manager gave us the benefit of the doubt. Which was very kind. We had no proof, only our word. We will definitely be back, but will be very quick to report any issues! Lesson learned for us, and you’ll have a repeat customer for sure for giving the benefit of the doubt!

Plussat: The location was great! It is not right in the heart of St Augustine, but it is about 1 1/2 miles from the historic downtown and they offer shuttle service to take you where ever you need and will pick you up when you call them. It is a very easy drive if you prefer. Parking is tough and limited plus a bit pricey but is still cheaper than what you are charged by the hotels in the heart of the historic district. Nice outdoor pool area. It is also pet friendly.

Miinukset: The rooms are older but very clean. They could use a remodel or updating at some point. A few employees were not as friendly as I would have expected but there are usually reasons why.

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing and well maintained. Meat and eggs with home fries and cheese grits with a couple more warm options along with the traditional continental breakfast items. The service was exceptional and I enjoyed the ability to text for needed items and that the hotel staff checked on us by text throughout the stay. The shuttle to the trolley was quick and friendly and my husband only drove when he wanted to drive. We have loved visiting St. Augustine over 34 years and now finally we have a "go to" hotel. We will be back!!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing. It was all wonderful!

Plussat: Great breakfast. Excellent customer service. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Unexpected cost for pet. Assuming pet friendly does not equate to a non refundable deposit. Next time I will pay closer attention to the fine print.

Plussat: The water pressure in the shower was best I've ever experienced in a hotel. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast was better than most.

Miinukset: The space between the end of the bed and the dresser was a little tight for two people to pass through. The delays for the shuttle to take us downtown was aggravating and at least twice by the time it got there the people waiting filled it up.

Plussat: Great little motel with clean rooms and staff who care.

Plussat: The hotel offered a free shuttle even though the trolly was literally right next to the hotel!The hotel staff was great, especially the man serving the free breakfast every morning ... I unfortunately did not get his name but he was awesome !

Plussat: I've stayed at Southern Oaks twice now and really like the place. I enjoy the location in the neighborhood setting. The staff have always been friendly. The breakfast is good and appreciated. The shuttle is convenient.

Miinukset: A little cool in my room.

Plussat: Just enjoyed a 5-night stay at Southern Oaks. The staff were very friendly, the rooms are tastefully remodeled and clean, and the breakfast is the best I've ever had at a hotel. Hot, home cooked food each day served by friendly folks.

Plussat: They seemed very happy to help you and meet your needs. Hotel room looked very nice with wood floors and seemed very clean.

Miinukset: No

Plussat: It was very nice for the $

Plussat: Great pool/location

Plussat: Great Location the staff was so very helpful about moving us to a much better room than what we booked. The place was clean and pleasant

Miinukset: The breakfast is a great ideal to bring to your room but not very good

Plussat: Close to the ocean

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Location clean nice staff

Miinukset: No amenities very tiny room

Plussat: This hotel is quiet, in a safe neighborhood, clean, right on the beach, and close to downtown. Lots of yummy restaurants close by, too! Overnight staff was very kind.

Miinukset: No complaints. I'll definitely be back to visit soon!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Needs a little updating

Plussat: Very great management we stayed there because we were going to the players championship and it was canceled we left a day early and they refunded our second day. Thank you very much

Plussat: So close to the beach. Great staff

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: We have stayed here several times. It’s a great friendly property and a great value for being on the beach.

Miinukset: We liked everything!

Plussat: The location is fantastic if you like the beach and St Augustine!!! You can walk to the beach by private access. Do not need to cross a road. St Augustinevis only a short drive away. The local restaurants are wonderful. The breakfast included with your stay is scrumptious!! I have stayed many tomescandcwill continue to stay there when in St Augustine.

Plussat: Location, nice staff, clean room, wonderful breakfast delivered to your day each morning

Miinukset: I wish bed had been a little more comfortable. It seemed to lean to the right making me feel off center continually.

Plussat: Great location, private bungalow rooms, literally steps to the beach! Breakfast served daily to your room is a great special touch. Conveniently located to all sites such as historic town and lighthouse. Everything was just perfect. Staff friendly and so kind! Landscaping beautiful even in February!

Plussat: Breakfast was great thank you

Miinukset: Staff a little annoyed with crowd of people not knowing how to use waffle maker for the first time

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: Good value, pet friendly, pretty good breakfast, nice staff

Miinukset: Bathroom was very small

Plussat: It was clean, nice pool set up

Miinukset: It was hard connecting to the wifi and when l got connected wifi was slow

Plussat: Ryan was AMAZING! We had a few special requests that he made happen immediately and with no problem. We actually left the holiday inn across the street because of all the problems we had, and Ryan made our vacation. Great place, great staff!

Plussat: Most everything was very good, beds comfortable, room clean. And breakfast was very good.

Miinukset: Highway noise, and the door had a gap around it that allowed light and noise.

Plussat: Breakfast had a good selection to choose from. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: We had noisy neighbors upstairs, but I cant blame the Inn.

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: Trifecta-Clean, Comfortable and Quiet!!

Plussat: It looked recently renovated, room was clean, and the continental breakfast was about as good as a continental breakfast gets. I didn't have much contact with staff but they seemed friendly.

Miinukset: It is hidden. Not all GPS apps have address and no road signs to hotel.

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: Beds very comfortable.

Miinukset: Real liquid creamer for coffee!

Plussat: The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. He changed our room to a bottom floor without any extra cost or argument! I was very impressed with everything,except our bed sheets. We noticed a stain on the bed sheet.

Miinukset: Very small pool area, no soda or snack machines. I also did not see an ice maker either.

Plussat: The continental breakfast was sufficient. The fellow that checked me in was great. Spoke better English than myself. Was very helpful.

Miinukset: There was NO hot water in my shower and very bad water pressure so I had to wash in the sink for 4 days. The carpet in my room was patched and burned and very dirty looking. It also didn't have the furniture that the other rooms had. The fellow that checked my sister in was very hard to understand and not helpful at all because of the language barrier.

Plussat: The convenience of the hotel was very nice. Not far from town! Clean rooms, nice staff, not a lot of traffic noise. We would stay again!

Miinukset: The pool! The pool is very small like a Jacuzzi

Plussat: The place was clean, cheap and in a decent location. there is a pool but it was February, too cold. The breakfast was basically, coffee, juice, bagels, muffins and cereal. It was free and I didn't know about it ahead of time but it served the purpose. The staff was very nice. I would stay here again if I was visiting St Augustine. Great place.

Plussat: We were allowed to check in early. We did not get breakfast and on our check out date the office was not yet open at 7:00 a.m.

Miinukset: The office was not open until 7:30 a.m. I mean what hotel doesn't open their office when they pay customers staying there?

Plussat: The hotel was centrally located between the historic district and the beach and there was several restaurants and pubs very close by. A real bargain compared to others in the same area.

Miinukset: Swimming pool was very small and breakfast was mediocre but considering there's other places to eat nearby and so much to do ,I didn't consider these drawbacks to be a problem

Plussat: wonderful location; value for my budget; parking right outside my door (bikes locked on car so wanted to keep an eye on them)

Miinukset: breakfast was very minimal so we ate elsewhere; wi-fi slow but usable

Plussat: Location, price, and flexibility of check-in.

Miinukset: The bathroom could have been a little cleaner and the beds updated but it was good for a budget hotel!

Plussat: Cheap hotel for the night. Smelled clean.

Miinukset: Our room (108) was in need of a refurbishment. The bed was uncomfortable.

Plussat: We loved a couple things about this place: 1) it had the cutest, very small pool and 2) we had to cross the lion bridge to get to it. This put us in between the historic district and the lighthouse and alligator farm (which is a must see!) honorable mentions are: they had coffee AND tea in the room (i'm a tea drinker and often find rooms have coffee but no tea)

Miinukset: their continental breakfast is quite limited... it's in a very small room (the lobby) and having b-fast included was part of our choice in picking out our lodging, but hey, we didn't really go there for the b-fast. We did not find any reasonably priced food nearby and thought the price for the room was a little high once compared to others we saw.

Plussat: I liked how the room was arranged. The mini fridge, microwave and a bonus cabinet were by the bathroom sink which had a good sized counter. I loved the great working air conditioner!! The room was a good size for the 3 of us in our family. I lights that it was right on the main strip. The owners were very nice and the room was very very clean and sanitized well. I liked the breakfast muffins. I loved that they had postcards in the office for sale. I would stay here again.

Miinukset: The pool was pretty small, but they made the best of the space they have.

Plussat: It was close to the places we wanted to go.

Miinukset: Wished they had a selection of fruit and some doughnuts or danishes on breakfast bar.

Plussat: Only good thing is the location.

Miinukset: Bad english speaking indian or pakistanian staff, Reception mostly locked, dirty feet from carpet in room, not again...

Plussat: Breakfast suck, bed smell like pee

Miinukset: Worst hotel I ever book with kayak

Plussat: Location was great, walking distance to restaurants and the beach

Miinukset: Staff wasn’t the most friendly, but still worth the value.

Plussat: location

Plussat: Closeness to beach

Plussat: It was clean. I didn't even feel the need to use my own blanket like I normally do at a hotel.

Miinukset: The A/C sounded rough. It worked great but made noises it should have been making

Plussat: The fact that it was so close to the beach was the best thing about this hotel.Its proximity to the beach makes it worth a nights stay

Miinukset: the sheets on our bed were clean but there was a hugs stain. didn't like seeing that when I pulled back the sheet

Plussat: Everything was great Room Bed Location Stayed there the last two years

Plussat: Nothing, this place sucks and the staff was rude.

Miinukset: The place smell bad they gave me a smoking room when I request a not smoking onr

Plussat: The best part about the hotel was location

Miinukset: The room I was in was VERY musky. The mirrors were all scratched up, the window in the bathroom leaked (it was raining).

Plussat: Love the location and the cleaning of the room

Miinukset: No
