We chose this hotel because it was the perfect location for an overnight stop on our trip. Excellent value for sure. Staff was great. Breakfast was a very nice bonus. Room was clean. If you are looking for luxury, this is not the place for you, but definitely fit the bill for our break on a trip.

Great weekend stay

I was very pleased with checking in as it was quick and we were able to be in our room earlier than allowed. This allowed us to freshen up after a long ride. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The one lamp shade needs to be replaced but that's minor. They have a playground for small children and pool looked clean. There's also a dog park which i thought was great for folks traveling with dogs. The breakfast was hot and good. There were scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sausage links, waffles to make, bread, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, milk, juice. Nice selection. We booked tickets to the downtown trolley which provided shuttle service which was great. The shower didn't have a lot of pressure but it was fine. Overall we had a great stay and I highly recommended.

Room is clean, pet friendly. It’s on I-95 best for stopover to sleep and just around 15 mins. to St. Augustine Downtown & Beaches. The only thing I didn’t like was, the room above me on the 2nd floor was noisy, good thing I was very tired of a long drive and I was still able to sleep.

Staff was wonderful, check in was quick. Rooms are clean and well appointed. Very comfortable for the price. Only draw back was the noise from the freeway but that wasn’t too bad. Will definitely stay again when I’m in town. Thank you.

Pretty decent!!

Booked a stay for Valentine's weekend to visit Historical Downtown for a motorcycle trip. Arrived later in evening and attendant was very friendly. Its right off the highway so theres a bit of noise, but thats to be expected. The room was around the back side and more private. Upon entry, it was reasonable. Nothing fancy. Sheets clean, towels clean. Bathroom floor had shoe prints on it in front of shower, likely from cleaning and was overlooked. Overall, devent stay. Bed was comfortable, lots of pillows. AC was great for our preferred cold sleeps. O ly about 15 min to downtown. Walked to gas station and tropical smoothie and coffee shop. Worth the money!
