Excellent location, as it is a stop on the tourist trolley and very close to attractions and restaurants. This is an old property but it is very clean. The beautiful live oak tree and the short walk on Magnolia behind the hotel makes up for the noise from being on the busy street.
Loved having “The Senator” the 650 yo live oak tree on the property! Very convenient, great thai food right across street and Raintree restaurant right up the street. Both excellent! Not a 4 star place but staff were good, would potentially stay there again,
I have been to this place before a few times. Never ever have a been so disappointed. The room is was shanny. The water atank and oitside smelled like urine. Everything felt damp. We slept in our clothes. All.this formclose.to $200 a night. Gross, disgusting and never again.

This is a two star hotel in a four star location. The staff was great. The room was clean. The rooms are dated and small, but the bed was comfortable.
The place is peaceful and simple, staffs are friendly.We stayed there for 3d 2n. Place is close to everything. It even has the hop on/off for the trolley. Only thing I didn’t like was no one came to clean the room when I asked.

They did great on the photos of the property. When you see it, you will see it’s run down. The room was clean and bed was just right. Would I stay again maybe. For the look of the place I would want to pay less next time.
Close to the Fountain of Youth and a walkable area

The room was clean, modern and comfortable.
The property contains an amazing 600 year-old oak tree (13 feet in circumference); however, the grounds around it are not kept to the standard this monument deserves.

Staff was friendly. Location was very convenient to area attractions. Room was clean and comfortable. The grounds could use a cleaning and more outdoor seating.
This place needs a good cleaning and some fresh paint. Front door you could slide your whole hand under, chair in room was so dirty no way would I even put anything on it. The beds were the only think clesn and comfortable .
I liked the proximity to the fountain of youth and the old jail. It was nice that the trolly also came to the hotel which made it convenient for touring Saint Augustine
