The motel is dirty and broken. Reserved two nights and arrived late the first night. Almost left that night, but we had driven all day. Left early the next morning. The only reason I gave two stars rather than one is the front desk receptionist was awesome. She refunded my second day even though she didn’t have to. The only reason I’m leaving this review is because I reserved here relying on reviews I’d seen from here.

I liked the room and was right near the beach to enjoy that. They gave me another room after the first one the microwave wasnt high quality. I liked the murals. There was some sort of discrepancy over the pool time, because she wrote down on my card open from Dawn till dusk and then after dusk, she wrote 9 PM . And then I went to the pool. I went to the front desk to get a pool towel around like 7:30ish or sometime like that and she said that it was closed cause it was after dark. So that was a little confusing why she would write 9pm. Anyway, the bed was comfortable, the showers and water could be hot, very hot if needed. That was nice. Overall i liked it. I would stay there again.

Historic property with an art deco vibe. We visited just after a hurricane and there was damage to their little cafe so no breakfast. We enjoyed walking to the nearby beach and the friendly people.

Affordable and accessible motel with a vibrant style of colors. Loved the flamingos everywhere haha and the cool painting inside our room of St. Augustine. Quiet and very polite staff. A minute walk to the beach and about 4-5 min to the Publix and some cool dining options. Nice stay, would come again when visiting St. Augustine and Vilano Beach.

It was very clean and the staff was excellent especially Champayne. The price was reasonable. I went with my sister who was sick and the stairs to the 2nd floor were just too much. The coffee maker in the room was so small if we went again we would bring our own next time. The coffee they supplied was gross. There was a jacuzzi but there were no bars or rails to help get out of the tub which we found scary. Even if your not handicapped its good to have a bar or rail to hold onto. I would highly recommend staying here unless your handicapped or have trouble getting up and down the stairs or in and out of the tub. I would go again.

Great stay. Office staff was extremely awesome. We love staying here. The only kickback was the towels smelled moldy and there was some mold on the wall which I know can be an issue for hotels on the beach.

The motel itself is certainly a little dated but overall the price for what you get was great. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Would still recommend to anyone just looking for a reasonable price to lay their head beachside!
