“Pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

We randomly chose this hotel for an overnight on our drive to FL in January and were very happy with our choice. Young woman at front desk was very cordial, friendly, helpful. Room was a close duplicate to one we had stayed at in a chain the previous night! Room and bath were clean but could use a freshening. Water view was pleasant, sunrise was superb. Dinner across the street at Sliders was excellent. Breakfast was generous and plentiful. Only complaint was that no ice machines were working so we had to fetch ice from the front desk.

Best part was that she told us we could follow A1A down the coastline to St Augustine and then hop back onto I 95. It was a glorious drive on a gorgeous morning driving length of Fernandina Beach, Ponte Vedre, took a tiny car ferry across the St John (?) river in Jacksonville and continued down to St Augustine.

“Just Right”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Loved It! This was a Great getaway for the weekend. We stayed in the Terrace Suite everything was Just Right, from the greeting an the Front Desk and the smell of baking cookies when we checked in until we checked out. The staff was very professional and helpful. We have stayed here before and will continue to do so in the future. SRS

Room Tip: Try to stay in the Terrace Suite if possible.

“Soft and sweet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

Being greeted by a pretty girl with a big smile and a hello with the smell of freshly baked cookies in the air was a perfect start to a perfect stay. The place was ver clean and in a great location. We loved being able to walk across the street to the beach and have dinner at sliders.

“Their Towels Are Worth More Than The Room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Dislike! The room was the size of a closet and it wasn't shown. I paid for the room with my debit card for my friends to stay there. I took a look at it myself. My card was charged $50 - MORE THAN THE COST OF THE ROOM THAT EXPEDIA PAID FOR IT WHICH WAS $47.47 - for missing towels!? I could see a $5 fee - but $50? Also nice view - with no balcony what's the point?

Room Tip: Don't bother with ocean front - there is no balcony. Ask if they have any non-claustrophobic roo...

“Just OK”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

As another reviewer stated, the walls are thin, and the "ocean view" is not only limited but overlooked a dumpster and construction. The pictures do overstate -- this is a motel-level place, across the street from a mediocre beach. On the other hand, clean, breakfast good, staff friendly, and the price very competitive. Not horrible by any means, but there are better beach choices in NE Florida.
