“Would not recommend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I planned a romantic weekend to relax and enjoy St. Augustine, it turned out to be anything but. After making reservations and paying for them, we arrived and our room was under-construction so we were moved for the night. The next day we were told that our room was still unavailable and that we would need to find other accomodations. I was shocked because we were visiting from out of town. I don't recommend and will never return.

We apologize again for the unexpected and serious plumbing issue that occurred in your guestroom on your arrival date. Our staff upgraded you to a deluxe room with a king bed, whirlpool tub, and private deck for your first night (Friday night). Unfortunately, the plumbing issue could not be corrected in your original room (a special part had to be ordered) for your second night (Saturday night), and we were full. Our innkeeper found you lodging at another B&B a block from the party you were attending in town. You declined the room and chose to stay elsewhere for the night. Again, we're sorry for the inconvenience, but these were circumstances beyond our control.

“Feeling Blessed!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

My husband and I enjoyed this two night stay in a B & B for the very first time. We feel we were blessed to find the most perfect Inn right from the start. We were want of nothing ~ a knowledgeable and helpful staff, endless complimentary snacks and drinks, a variety of incredible breakfast choices (Loved the strata!), quiet and friendly surroundings, an authentic and immaculate late 1700's suite (Elizabeth) but with all the amenities of today including complimentary sherry and fresh flowers, proximity to the heart of St. Augustine, and a 4 block walk to the cathedral for morning Mass. Would you like to take a Horse and Buggy ride? Upon request, you will be picked up right at the front door! Feeling blessed, indeed! Arthur & Leona

Room Tip: The Elizabeth Suite overlooked the cobblestone roadway. The windows were fitted with wooden blinds...

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We finished a tour of Florida with a one night stay at this historic inn. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The idea of having inside and outside social areas with complmentary snacks and drinks is a great one.
The inn is in easy walking distance of the
We stayed in Anna's room which, although small, was very pleasant.

Bill and Jeanne

Room Tip: The bathroom was very compact, but what can you expect in a 250 year old building!

Our Historic building can be a challenge - originally built in 1791 - without today's modern conveniences.... Anna's Room is cozy - but has floor-to-ceiling windows for lots of sunshine - and a walk-in shower in the bathroom. Anna's Room is enjoyed for its easy access to the public balcony also. Thanks for your review - and we hope you will return someday!

“Outstanding!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

From the moment we were greeted, our stay was outstanding. Carolyn showed us to our room, gave us quick tour, and made us feel welcome. The breakfast was amazing, all you cared to eat, served in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. After a 5 minute walk, you're in the heart of St. Augustine. This is how a guest should be treated at a B&B. We can't wait to go back!!!

Room Tip: Just ask...they will accommodate as best they can.

You know how a hotel gives you your key and points in the general direction of your room?? NO WAY - we show you to your room and show you where the thermostat is, how to work the whirlpool tub, point out the welcome letter with all the details to help you enjoy your stay. We want you to relax!! Not wander around looking for your room...
Thanks for taking the time to review us...and thanks for your kind words! See you next time!

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

My boyfriend and I were planning a roadtrip and found a Groupon for this location. Such a blessing! This place is so worth it, even without a Groupon. When we arrived they were having their evening social which offered local wines, beer, and snacks. Our room (Emily's Room) was very nice. Loved the balcony and free bike rentals. Recommend taking a bike ride around the town. Best of all, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Really made for a great stay! Will come here again!
