I’m very disappointed to arrive and find that this is the second room that has not been properly cleaned. When booking a room, guests expect it to be clean and ready upon arrival. I came to St. Augustine to celebrate my birthday and enjoy my first visit, but instead, I’ve had to spend time cleaning the room myself. Your website and social media posts are very deceiving when it comes to the actual condition that this motel is in. (Completely run down).

This hotel had the shortest mattresses we had ever slept in and the noisiest, they must be ancient. Tons of noise from the road and tons of light made it very difficult to sleep.

The communication process was basically non-existent. My first confirmation notice said I had to download an app, Virdee, to receive checkin information. I did and my phone number was not in the system. I called the number that was for the local property but that number did not work. I called the corporate number and the guy told me they were updating their system and not using Virdee anymore. This was literally the next day! I then receive another email reminding me to put the app on my phone in order to check in. Emails to the company were either not answered or not answered in a timely manner. At 3:10p.m. I received a message saying my room was almost ready and that I would receive checkin instructions at 3pm. We arrived at the hotel with no checkin info and there was a sign on the door with 4 different numbers to text, so I did. I heard nothing back so I called one of the numbers. A nice girl told me where the lockers were to enter a code to receive our keys. The locker was unlocked already! The room was not as cute as pictured and described. I think the owners said they tried to keep as much mid-century details as possible. Hardly. The bathroom (while clean & newish) had very modern tile & backsplash that looked nothing like mid-century. There was an air filter/purifier in the room and when we checked it was absolutely clogged with dust! The drawers all smelled like mildew because the inexpensive furniture (laminate? presswood?) had water damage inside.

Problems for us

The mattriss gave both of us a very bad backache. I called for a roll of toilet paper morning and evening, and two different people answered and assured it would be sent, but no toilet paper arrived. Outside the door, rusty water flowed across the walkway from the air conditioner.

This property is absolutely adorable! The care, attention, and painstaking love put into this property is noticeable in all of the little details and personal touches everywhere. I adored the local coffee in the lobby as well. My husband and I had an amazing stay. My only (little) complaints were the stiffness of the mattress, and the finicky door access at night/early morning. However, the hotel lets you know about the issues with the doors, so it's on me for not requesting a physical key after checking in.

Won’t be back.

I’ve been staying here regularly for over a year on an almost monthly basis. It just gets worse and worse and I won’t be back again. The big issue is there key system. You have to download an app, upload ID. Sometimes the auto key works and sometimes it doesn’t. The link once sent me to a fishing trap that subscribed me. I have had neighbors trying to break down their own doors at 2am to the point where I was going to call the police. Currently waiting in the sun and humidity on a Sunday morning for a maintenance person to show up and let me in. No manager or help on site. I have tried to hang in there with this cute boutique motel but I’m done. Didn’t even get into the worn out towels, bad mattresses and backed up drains. They need to address these issues. Ratings are going down and you are losing regulars.
