"OK For Overnight Stay"
We have stayed at hundreds of hotels big and small over the years. This is nothing exceptional. The positives: clean property and room, large HDTV, comfortable bed, close to many eating places,good room and bath lighting, good water pressure, quiet room, guest laundry(though there is only 1 washer and dryer located outside the rooms). The negatives: young black girl who checked us in seemed to have an attitude like we were interrupting her personal time, wifi was weak, tap water has a strong sulfur aftertaste, light above tub was not working, refrigerator in room did not work, breakfast was very mediocre, a couple light switches in room didn't work. Overall, OK stay for overnight.

Dear Guest, We appreciate your visit and your feedback. I value your opinions. It's pleasant to notice the advantages and regret the drawbacks. Based on your suggestions, we will continue to work on enhancing the amenities. We value visitor comments because it helps us get better. I look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely, Hotel Manager
"Highly recommended!"
We could not be happier with this motel! We initially chose it because it has a couple of suites with full kitchens and we wanted something fully equipped (and dog friendly) for a few days en route to an Airbnb. But when we called with a couple of questions, Virginia was so helpful and friendly that we decided to forego the Airbnb and book there the whole time. We made the right decision! The suite is modern, roomy, and easily as nice as any Airbnb condo... but cheaper and with free breakfasts and housekeeping. There are only two suites, both with the same square footage, one with one bedroom and one with two. We picked the one bedroom one, room 303. In lieu of the second bedroom we got a nice eat in kitchen, a huge living room, and even a balcony with lounge chairs and a small dining table. The room is an absolute bargain; if it's available you should snatch it up. (A quick glance at one of the standard rooms indicated that they are probably of similar quality but of course much smaller.) The location is a block from the beach, a short walk to numerous restaurants and bars, a 5-minute drive to a Publix supermarket, and 15 minutes from historic St Augustine. The free breakfast is on the upper end of what you might expect from a Hampton Inn or Best Western level property, which is to say not gourmet but more than just a continental breakfast. And Virginia and the staff were great. I am not one to post gushing reviews, and don't hesitate to post negative ones when warranted, but this Best Western simply does everything right. Highly recommended.

"Scam dog policy"
I booked this hotel for myself and an 8 lb chiweenie. I had called another local BW that had a pet fee of $30. I did not know that BW was a franchise. When I arrived, the pet fee was $40 with a non-refundable deposit of $75 that is not posted on the website. Since it was too late to cancel because I would have lost the $166 hotel cost, I agreed. I appealed to waive and was given a sheet to approve costs. This was not on it so I thought it was waived. The receipt the next day included the cost. At this hotel, a $166 cost turned into $322 for the worst room in the building. Adjacent to the cleaning/maintenance room and the back was adjacent to the kitchen of a large restaurant next door. Things got poppin at 7 a.m. I called BW customer service and they called this hotel to justify the $75 non-refundable. The hotel said, and get ready for this, that they had to use special ozone machine to clean the air! Scam response. Yeah, for an 8 lb chiweenie that stayed for one night. We were not even in the room for 8 hours of the 21 hours. A deposit is great, for any amount, but a non-refundable and a bold face lie is crazy. Dog owners run and other guests should avoid room 111. This dog has stayed in probably 100 room nights elsewhere across the US with no issues!

Dear Ann, Thank for the stay and the unfortunate incidence. It is pretty serious and we never condone such things. The matter will be investigated and strictly acted upon. Anyway, my apology for the inconvenience. This is a very uncommon occurrence. Request your understanding and continued patronage. Sincerely, Hotel Manager.
"January vacation"
We had scheduled this trip to St. Augustine months ago. It was to be a pre-anniversary trip and the first time I was to be there. The room was very satisfactory and we were able to be on the first floor which is important now. Parking was fine and breakfast was okay. The are is quiet and not over touristy.

Dear John, It is extremely gratifying to see that your stay was satisfactory.Your appreciation of the staff and the breakfast are highly encouraging.This will surely motivate us to raise the service benchmark.Thanks for your generosity and being our preferred guest.We expect many more opportunities to host you.

"Great place minutes from the beach"
We were looking for a place to stay mid way from home in NC to South Florida. We decided to detour so we could see the beach. What a great decision! Comfortable bed. Clean room. Hot Whirlpool tub and breakfast. We will make this detour on the way back too.
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Hello Guest, Thank you for your recent stay and the positive feedback. I am happy to see that you had a satisfying experience looking at the comments. We are continuously working to improve our hospitality. Look forward to seeing you again. Sincerely, Hotel Manager.
"Very Nice"
Property and room was very clean. The pool area was clean. Weather didn't permit using it though. Just a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was served near the main office area. It was served buffet style. Fruit, omelets, potatoes and sweet sausage. There was cereal for the kiddos, coffee, juice, tea and hot chocolate.
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

"Clean and convenient"
For the convenience of being close to the beach, close to restaurants, and close to The Amp (the amphitheater for concerts) this fits the bill. It's also clean. We did not use the breakfast in the morning or the pool. However, we attended a concert, and it was perfect. It's very clean, and we slept great! The hotel is across the street from the beach.
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

We take real pride in this hotel and serving guests like you, and I'm extremely happy that you had a such a peaceful stay. We look forward to having you with us again soon. Sincerely, Hotel Manager
"Near the Beach "
About two blocks to the beach. Cross A1A street and the beach access is two small blocks away. Hop on and Off Trolley stops right in front of this motel so you don't have to deal with parking or driving downtown. Room was clean and comfortable beds. Breakfast was usual hotel breakfast.
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

"Concert Stay"
My husband & I were attending a concert at the AMP. We live close but decided to make it an overnight stay. We were very pleased with our stay at the BW in St Augustine Beach. I will definitely keep this hotel in mind for next time. We told our friends and they decide to stay too!

Hotel was just a 1 min walk to Beach , just cross the street and walk thru the dunes.Great restaurants just down the street. Friendly area and friendly staff. Clean pool, the breakfast was great with several options loved the fresh yogurt!

"Worse place ever to book/arrange for accommodations, rudeness and confronted with 1 1/2 hours wait at check- front desk"
Go anywhere, but not this Best Western---there's nothing BEST about this location.The reservations were distorted, rudeness from an employee, hour and a half wait at front desk before checking in and paying more than quoted and promised. Never Again.Dr. C. Hatch

The staff were fantastic. The rooms were clean. Right across the street from the beach. Bed was a little hard, and parking is sometimes difficult but I would certainly stay here every time I am in the area.

"Wonderful stay in the suite!"
We stayed in the two room suite. It was massive! The pictures on the website do not do this suite justice. The living room area has a full couch, loveseat, and single chair along with a table with four chairs. There was lots of extra room for the kids to play. The bedrooms were large. The bathroom was big. It only had a shower however the shower was quite roomy with two shower heads. The kitchen area was small and comes stocked with the essentials. This suite has a floor all to itself on top of the main office. It has a partial view of the ocean from the living room area. Upon check-in at 3, the room was not quite ready. We had an event to attend and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our party in order to get ready. The front desk staff were absolutely amazing. The beach is a quick walk across the street. It took us about two minutes to have our toes in the sand. There are several great restaurants within walking distance.

Right across from the beach with great access! Breakfast area is small but provided what was needed. Standard rooms are a bit tight, but they are updated. Staff were attentive to needs anytime we brought up a need.

"Great service and great breakfast."
Great service from the time we checked in to checking out. The pool and hot tub was open. Short walk to the beach. Clean rooms. Great breakfast along with a grab and go bag if you wanted one. The staff was friendly, courteous and professional. All around great service and staff.

"Not to bad for the price."
The room looks clean but the floors are filthy.I realize that it's hard to keep floors clean at the beach but your feet shouldn't be black, especially trying to get into white sheets and comforter. Mop ! Also, the mattresses should be removed and the bed platform cleaned throughly. Disappointed the hotel wasn't on the beach .

Hello Jan, Thanks for your stay and feedback and telling us the positive and negative aspects. My apologies for the inconveniences .We shall work on priority to improve the said areas based on your observations. Guest feedback is important to us for betterment. Hope to welcome you again soon. Sincerely, Hotel Manager.
"First time at this location"
We would definitely come back. Great location across the street from public access to the beach. Parking is "tight" if you drive a full size truck. Very substantial breakfast and the coffee was always fresh. Just a short drive to Publix or the mainland. We're from Florida so we travel during the off season. Not sure how crowded St Augustine is during the height of tourist season?
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Dear Guest, Thanks for the stay and the fabulous feedback. We will definitely address your comments about the parking. Guest comments are valuable inputs for us to better our services. You can expect a further improved stay next time. Looking forward to welcoming you again. Sincerely, Hotel Manager.
"Great Location...."
This location was the best location to water; not too far from downtown shopping; and good restaurants. Virgina (Office Manager) was extremely knowledgeable and especially, accommodating for my 90 year old father who can't do stairs with first floor room . Loved the pool and hot tub on the premises...great place to relax after long day of walking and trolley rides.
Hotel Manager, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Dear Guest, It is really nice to note that you liked the location and services at our hotel during your recent visit.Nice that you liked the hospitality and appreciating Virginia.

"Cleanliness"
The room was dirty, floors were terrible!!! I contacted the front desk in person two times and nothing was done, showed them the towel I used to try and clean the floors and also the bottom of my feet. I also have pictures to back up what I have reported to the front desk!!!

"Disappointing"
I had very high hopes for this hotel based on other's reviews, but unfortunately we were left highly disappointed. I spent a lot of time researching hotels in the Saint Augustine Beach area and this hotel seemed to have some of the best reviews, being rated #4 out of 11 hotels in the Saint Augustine Beach area, even having a Traveler's Choice 2022 award, but I am still very puzzled on how this hotel has received such high ratings. I had called a few hours prior to our arrival and was told by the front desk that there was a room ready for us, so we could check in at anytime, we headed straight to the hotel and the staff was very friendly. We were given a room on the bottom floor - per our request since we were traveling with young children. The first room we were given had such a terrible odor (very musty), we asked if we could get a different room, which I have never done before, and the staff was very attentive and accommodating to our request. We were given a new room immediately, on the second floor. After getting to our settled into our second room, there was not a terrible odor, but the room was very dirty. We ended up taking the bathroom wash cloths and wiping down the floors, twice during our two night stay, due to the dirtiness of the hotel. You can tell the hotel has undergone some recent "updates" to the rooms, however, I would describe the quality of the updates as extremely poor. They have basically painted over the imperfections. The room itself was very small. The hotel door stuck and was difficult to open, due to the door frame being painted, you could also see that the outside door did not close all the way and there was a small gap around the door frame. The bathroom door also stuck to the frame and was very difficult to close. The hotel was undergoing construction during the time of our stay, which was not communicated to us prior to our arrival, there was debris everywhere and the construction itself was very noisy, the construction crew had parts of the stairs blocked off as we were trying to get to our rooms and areas of the parking lot were blocked off at times, too. The construction crews were tearing away parts of the building and throwing large pieces from the top floor onto the pavement below during the daytime hours. I just wish this would have been communicated to us when we booked our hotel room or prior to our arrival. The pool was very dirty, so we opted not to swim in it and the hot tub was closed. Breakfast was good and there was plenty of options to chose from. The hotel is a very short walk to the beach, just across the road. I am not normally one to complain, but I do not want anyone else to make the same mistake as we did, for the price, I would stay at the Marriott down the road.
"Best Western St Augustine Beach Inn"
The staff at this hotel are polite and helpful. They go beyond the standard to accommodate your needs. The location is perfect, easy access to beach, restaurants, concert venue, parks without traffic or crowd. The hotel room is very quiet and sufficiently dark at night. The refrigerator was super cold, so our beverages were perfect on a hot Florida day. The pool was enjoyable. Wish the jacuzzi were available. The room was comfortable, slept fine. Breakfast was hot and good. The sausage and yogurt parfait were different and better than other places. I was completely satisfied and would go back plus I recommend this hotel and Best Western in general to everyone.
"Great place"
Breakfast was an amazing amenity. I was impressed at the presentation and the amount of options available. It wasn't just a run of the mill breakfast and the variety throughout the week was a pleasant surprise. The management staff was extremely accommodating with my request due to, LOUD, on-sight maintenance. Overall it was a great stay and I this is my go-to location when I visit the area. It's affordable and has easy access to great "tasty" resturants and the beach!
"Very Good Stay"
The hotel was located in a good place near the beach and was easily accessed. The staff worked with us to get us into a room when we arrived earlier than expected. The room was nice and the breakfast was fantastic the next morning.
"Nice stay"
Nice stay. The rooms were clean and smelled good, beds were comfortable beautiful bathrooms. The only negatives that I could offer is that the Internet is very spotty and the hot tub is closed throughout the week
"Average"
Be warned that there isn't an elevator for hotel guests to use, nor employees to help. We had to haul our bags up stairwells. The hot tub was out of order the whole week and the pool water was very cold (colder than the ocean). There also wasn't any maid service available if you want your room serviced during your stay. You need to get additional towels, toilet paper, etc from the front desk. On the plus side the beach is easily accessed by walking across the street and a couple blocks distance, and there are some really good restaurants within walking distance.
"Could have been better"
We stayed during last weekend of Spring Break. The price was high considering the quality of stay. Pool was not clean. Hot tub didn't work. Breakfast area was small. But the room was clean and staff were friendly.
"HORRIBLE STAY AWAY FROM ALL BEST WESTERN."
bad from the time I booked. corporate offices ignored my concerns. no one really seems bothered. I tried to reach them many times. emailed etc.. but no response. floors were sticky and quality of rehab was cheep n nasty

"Location, location, location"
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The location is great. Just a 5 minute walk and your in the beach. The beach was gorgeous. The room was clean and comfortable. The area was quite and we felt safe. Only a few small issues kept me from rating it a 5/5. They were not anything that would keep us from staying again. I guess for $200.00 to $250.00 a night I expect perfection. I do understand you are paying more for the location of this property. If your looking for a nice, comfortable, clean hotel within a few minute walk to the beach this is it. Lots of restaurants and things to do in walking distance too.
"Spring Break stay"
We stayed for a few days over spring break. Room smelled fresh when we arrived. We requested a house keeping service and they did a nice job cleaning up our room. Hotel is right across the street from the beach. Only a quick two minute walk. Hotel staff was very pleasant.
"Nice Get-Away"
A very nice place for my sister and I to "get-away" to. Just a couple of days of relaxation. I must say, we could have picked a better time, due to spring break, but still managed to enjoy ourselves in spite of the crowds. Clean facility, small but nice. Nice staff. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby.
"Great Hospitality in a Great Location"
This is a perfect spot in a quiet, beautiful, historic, beach area. Looks like a hacienda from A1A - also iconic. There are great restaurants nearby as well as Door Dash for room delivery. I would visit this place again.
"Great location and charm"
This hotel is right across the street to the beach. Breakfast was included which was nice. Plenty of varieties. Microwave and fridge in the rooms. Beds were comfy and relaxing. Place was clean and had lots of charm. Great place to stay. Will definitely stay here again!! Friendly staff as well.
"Old and tired"
This hotel has seen its better days. They have tried to update it, but I believe she's old and tired. The updates in the rooms must have been done by one of their neighbors. Air conditioner is falling off the wall, but it does work. Plumbing in bathroom could not have been done by a professional; faucet in tub is hanging from open pipe, sink drain pop-up does not work, shower handle is not secure and temperature is anyone's guess, light switch has been rigged and plastered to the wall. All of this being said, we did not have concerns about cleanliness. Room was clean, but no professional EVER worked on the remodeling. Sad because this is in a beautiful place near the beach. Short stay is best.

"A must see and stay!"
This is our second time staying a week at the Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn. The staff is outstanding! Each morning they were busy cleaning, always looking to greet with a friendly smile. The hot breakfast menu rotates throughout the week, which was a nice surprise. We brought our labrador both stays. We have only encountered well behaved dogs with other travelers. The distance to the beach is a quick walk. You can hear the waves from your room. Many great places to eat within walking distance. Virginia, the manger, deserves a review all for her. Virginia is amazing! She takes time to talk, help with anything you may need or questions to be answered. She remembered us from our first stay. She makes you feel like old friends. We cannot rave about her enough! She is a tremendous asset to this hotel.
"Disappointed"
We made reservations online at one price and were surprised with a $300 dollar charge for Friday. Although a platinum member they did not care about our concern . We found out at checkout ...received no confirmation for this price until we returned home. Nothing plush to warrant $300 and the floor ruined good socks.This was for a king ...no freezer part of fridge...and supposedly gave us a senior discount.Breakfast was good with variety.
"My Stay"
Rooms were clean breakfast was ok room for improvement on breakfast during the week but spot on for the weekend short walk to public beach within 5 minutes nice sandy beaches will definitely stay here again

"Great Stay for the money"
The room showed some signs of age but was very clean, smelled great and everything worked well. The bed was very comfortable, the air conditioner/heater was not overly loud, refrigerator cooled well and the WiFi was actually pretty fast, considering the hotel was pretty full both nights. The shower was delightful. Several restaurants are in walking distance. Ate at Beachside Cafe and Sunset Grill, but quite good. Access to the beach is just across the street.

"Valued Guest"
It's not often that I take the time to write a review. I want to thank the Management and Staff at the Best Western in St Augustine Florida for always making my stay special. I feel like I am visiting family when I stay at the hotel. My first visit to the Best Western in St Augustine which was also my first time staying at a Best Western was exceptional and has remained that way every since then. I am usually greeted by Virginia at the front desk when checking in. Virginia makes everyone feel like family. I also want to brag on the management and staff at the Best Western. Everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. I highly recommend the Best Western.

"Low budget hotel but expensive"
This is a motel not hotel. Very dated lobby and rooms. Hot breakfast but very small area with people on top of each other without masks coughing and sneezing. The front desk workers were nice and helpful. Small pool without any extras (i.e. slide, sprayer). Good location to beach and restaurants.
Front Desk BW, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

"Perfect location ,good hotel"
Fantastic location,walkable to the beach in minutes . Also a good choice of restaurants in easy walking distance. Very helpful staff , Virginia who checked us provided good information about the area. Ample free on site parking. The rooms have been updated and everything was clean. The cost per night was responsible as well . The breakfast was fair ,but enough to start the day. A very short fifteen minute ride to historic St Augustine .

Lovely accommodations, excellent staff, full breakfast. Maid service every day if requested. Comfortable beds and pillows. Great bathroom and shower. Convenient location, across the street from the ocean, and lots to do at the location including ice cream and tacos within walking distance!

"Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn"
The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and up to date. The overall facility was very clean. The only thing that would have made it any better would be if the controls to change the settings for the outside hot tub were accessible. Even though it was plenty warm, it would nice it be able to adjust the jets. However...it was still enjoyable.

"Good choice "
Very Clean. Friendly staff. Definitely going back again and will stay here next time. Convenient to all the local restaurants, bars, sight seeing and just near the water. Price was about $200 total. I don't know why I have to put in 200 characters so this is filler.

"Reasonable stay"
Room was as expected for the price. Unfortunately there was no hot breakfast option for the duration of our stay. Only a 'grab and go' option of an apple, packaged danish, and a nutri grain bar... This was a big let down as it would have affected the decision making process for choosing a hotel. Hopefully this is remedied now.

"Great Choice"
My wife and I along with our 4 yr old grandson set out for a 2 week trip through Florida, down the Atlantic side to the Keys and back up the Gulf side with no reservations anywhere. St. Augustine was our first stop and couldnt have pulled into a better place. Checkin was easy, front desk staff was excellent and the room was nice, clean and updated. Location was great for driving into the Historic part of St. Augustine and dozens of choices to dine was close by. Beds were really comfortable as well. To the staff of this Hampton Inn...Great Job!! We look forward to returning on our next trip to St. Augustine.

The hotel staff was very helpful and courteous and responded to our requests quickly and respectfully. Housekeeping service was excellent (Wendy) and worked with us on times we were away from room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to break away from the other overrated major hotel chains and get value and service to gain repeat stays.

"Pleasant surprise..."
I've read some of the other reviews about this hotel. Granted, not everyone is happy with ALL accommodations but really, its not the Hyatt or the Plaza Hotel. The pettiness of complaints are comical. This hotel is a more or less a "no frills" place to relax, shower and get on with your vacation. The hotel staff is very pleasant and most accommodating. Although, during Covid, their breakfast was not the hot breakfast they advertise...which is NO BIG DEAL...there are many places on Beach A1A to get breakfast which are great. There are many restaurants within walking distance from the BW, as well. The only caveat is that most/all places (restaurants, bars, etc.) close at 9pm or 10pm so stock up on your favorite libation. The room was comfortable, the shower was welcoming (after a day in the sun and sand). We spent all/most of our time at the beach but the pool was a nice respite from the blazing beach sun. The hotel has enough to make any stay pleasant. We would definitely go back when visiting Beach A1A.

"Decent hotel, good location,"
We stayed in three hotels during this vacation and this hotel was our least favorite. Check-in was easy. The front desk staff are nice. This hotel is in a great location if the beach is your focus. The rooms are marginal. Our room was not very clean. There was sand and hair in the bathroom from prior occupants. The air conditioner is hard to regulate,; making the room warm or ice cold most of the time. Due to COVID, the hotel does not have daily maid service. The rooms have no towel racks or hooks, so daily towel exchange is necessary. Bring a beach location, I would have expected this hotel to have hooks in the shower or some way to dry swimsuits- they do not.

"Worst BW ever!"
Excitement quickly turned into frustration and disappointment. My wife and I planned a 4 day stay at the hotel, but left after 1 night! Booked a standard king room months in advance but when we checked in all that was left was an ADA king room. The bathroom did not have a tub and was basically a big walk-in shower with no where to put your shower items. There was also a mobility seat in the shower which was weird. So I asked for a different room but there were no more king rooms. The man working the front desk was very rude and I guess did not want to be bothered. My wife asked to speak with the manager and he helped and go figure the other guy changed his attitude very quickly! So we were moved to a room with 2 double beds which was not good but ok. Well this room was worse. The room had a musty smell. The refrigerator was not working and eventually find out their refrigerators are really coolers so only keep items cool but forget buying something and trying to get it cold! Took a shower after the long day but the water pressure was a joke! There was hardly any pressure so trying to rinse soap off was a task! Decided that we would stay the night and see about another room in the morning. But after spending the night it was not worth it to stay at this BW and will never return to this BW!

"Pool out of order"
I arrived on Monday July 12th 2021 and the pool was out of order. I left today Thursday July 15th and the pool was still out of order. I just wanted to warn people to please call first and make sure the pool is fixed BEFORE you arrive. The staff was very nice and friendly. They had good air conditioning. Very close to the beach.

"Interesting experience"
This is our second trip to this motel, the second one didn't go quite as smoothly as the first. Booking was way more of a hassle than it should have been. The lady we called at the front desk was very unhelpful and told us we couldn't make a reservation over the phone. But upon arriving we talked to the same lady who said of course we can make a reservation over the phone...... interesting. The room itself was fine, nothing special, and the guy at the front desk was extremely helpful.

"Friendly Hotel with Quick Beach Access"
We had a very nice stay at the Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn. Hannah was so nice and helpful, and we really appreciated how welcome she made us feel. The location is great, less than 5 minutes from the room to the ocean! They were pet-friendly as well, which was great since we had our Yorkshire Terrier with us. There were plenty of great restaurants nearby, and plenty of parking spaces. The breakfast was a grab-and-go bag due to COVID, but it was fine for us. The room was basic, but clean and had a very large TV. My parents stayed at another hotel down the road, and our room was by far the nicer of the two. We would stay there again!

"Not the best"
More or less a fair price for a tourist area. Liked the updated rooms but they have problems. Our room was full of sand all over the floor and when wiped with a wet rag it was black with dirt as in never mopped. Bathroom fan was OK at first but then it went berserk and sounded like it came apart. The security latch on door was hanging on by 2 loose screws which can be easily screwed tight but was not. Short walk across busy road to great beach. A lot of guests had dogs in their rooms and a lot of them barked and we are grateful for our noise machine. A sticker on the door announcing room is clean does not make it so.

"Not up to par for Best Western"
I first thought to give this motel 3 stars—an average rating. The room seemed clean on the surface and had a “sanitized” sticker on the door. But with a longer look, I definitely would call it below average for a BW. The floors are “tile” and dirty—especially the bathroom floor which I would rate at filthy. There was no folding luggage rack in the room, and none to be had upon request. Had to leave my suitcase on the dirty floor in the closet because there was no other place to put it. The pool looked OK, but the jacuzzi was murky—-I wouldn't get in. I'm a travel agent who has stayed in many places in the U.S. and around the world. You can do much better in St Augustine Beach.

"The Worst Best Western I have ever stayed"
We have stayed at many Best Westerns over the years . Mostly always a good experience. This motel was the worst experience ever. A two story structure with no elevator and a double flight of stairs to drag your luggage up and down. We were assigned a second floor without being told that there is no elevator. The place is worn down, our door was not closing and locking without having to slam it so hard that the entire building would shake. The floor is so dirty that the soles of our feet would get black after 2 minutes of walking on it. The small fridge was warm when we got there and had no control to turn the temperature down. The light in the bathroom worked only on one side of the mirror. The pool was so murky that one would not want to get in it and the pool equipment was continuously making the noise of an oncoming train. The breakfast was suppose to be grab and coffee, but the decaf coffee was lukewarm and the color of a tea. And we paid an average of $180 per night to stay in this dump. Stay away from this place if you have a choice.

"ROACHES!!"
ZERO STARS - This hotel has roaches!!! I left with my teenage niece in the middle of the night after waking up to several roaches scurrying in the bathroom. They DO NOT take Covid precautions. Air conditioner vent was dusty, bed platform filthy, shower curtain stained. Stay elsewhere!! Management advised they are aware of the roaches yet there is not pest control visible. Disgusting!!
Front Desk BW, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
We apologize for any issues you experienced during your stay. Compensation for 2 of the 3 nights you stayed was offered. Our staff and our contacted pest control team inspected the room and found no insects dead, or alive. However we took the room out of inventory and performed an intensive treatment. Management was not aware of insects in the room previous to this. We also take several extra steps due to the Covid 19 pandemic for guest safety. As our reviews can attest, this is not a typical experience for our guests. Jody Bass Front Office manager
"St. Augustine Beach"
This Best Western is a short walk from the beach. It is close to stores, restaurants, and ice cream shop. The hotel was clean and it was no problem getting a floor level room. The pool water was cool but there was a small hot spa. The hotel had a Grab and Go Breakfast that included a muffin, a breakfast bar and a bottle of water with an apple. There was coffee, orange, and apple juice available. It was a pleasant stay.

I wanted to stay right on the ocean, but wasn't willing to pay the price. BW wasn't cheap, but it was cheaper. It was just a hop skip and a jump to get to the ocean. Downtown st Augustine was minutes away. BW had a great room, cute pool, and I love Anastasia island.

We stayed here for a quick weekend getaway and enjoyed it. The rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved that we were within walking distance to restaurants and across from the beach. The pool and hot tub are very nice. They staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a bagged to go meal consisting of an apple, water, muffin and granola bar. Wish they had better options but I understand the challenge with the current pandemic.

"Excellent location!"
Positives first-the property was very attractive, directly across from the beach with access between a beach house and hotel. In less than a minute from exiting our room we were at the water's edge. Water pressure and temp were wonderful and SCALDING hot! You can always cool your water down, you know? Room was very clean and looked to have been remodeled, i.e. no carpet, laminate flooring. Very nice. Staff we encountered were nice enough and helpful. Bed linens were nice, not scratchy and pilled. Negatives :( That 'breakfast'...a brown bag with bottled water, a manky muffin, nutrigrain bar and an apple so dry and mealy it almost had the texture of a baked potato. A $5 voucher to Waffle House would have been MUCH preferred. The mattress and pillows were excruciating. The pillows wadded up into little concrete pavers. The mattress exacerbated already tender backs and hips from our dismal rental car. The door with outside access to the parking lot felt a bit unsafe. Not used to that. Lots of noise through the door but not necessarily through the walls.
"Very pleased"
This room was updated...loved the color scheme, lighting, big TV and the bathroom was very nice. Room was VERY clean, linens good. Grounds are very clean and we didn't use pool because it was January but that too was clean. Would book here again! Also good places to eat and beach across the street.

Our vacation may not have gone as planned, but the service we received from this hotel was a five star experience. The location is ideal, to beach, restaurants, stores, and downtown. Property is in a safe location, and a nice walking area day or night. Walking path for pets. Ample parking. Internet is good. One block from a beautiful sun rise, and sunset.

"A bit pricey but a nice property"
We stayed in a single king room. The room was clean and everything worked. The room was not big enough for the king bed and the furniture in my opinion. It was hard to pass each other in the aisles. The online photography will not portray how cramped the room is. The location is great for beach access. The available restaurant choices close early in the off season. I thought the value for price was off due to Covid restrictions limiting the services of the hotel. If you desire a hot breakfast or any choice for your morning meal, you will have to drive to McDonalds.

We got a room here because of price and location. Both worked out very good. Across from the beach it is a very short walk to beach access. Had a first floor room near the pool too. Room was clean and everything worked fine. A lot of families here and in the pool but we are fine with that. Breakfast pretty weak because of Covid 19. You get a water, apple and muffin in a brown bag. Also no coffee in lobby at this time. We bought our home machine, that was a good idea. Would stay here again, alot of food all around the area and a Publix down the road. We used both.

"Beware of Fraudulent Overcharges"
Our stay was ok until the Best Western tried to overcharged me $1,054 for staying an extra night. They waited until a week after our stay to add this fraudulent My little kids are pretty traumatized from our COVID reality and I was trying to give them a little bit of happiness from the upside-down world we are now living in. This has ruined my vacation and caused me so much stress on top of everything else going on. I do NOT recommend this hotel.

"Front desk woman stole my inhaler from pool area"
Me and my friends were at the pool, tipsy, and virgina the 3 to 11 clerk came out told us to pack it up and proceeded to walk around the pool, and mysteriously my albuterol inhaler came up missing. We went to the front desk and asked her if she had picked it up, she said no. So I called my husband and he was willing to drive 2 hrs to bring me another one. Then the clerk calls our room and says check the trash can that she saw us throw away stuff...... wow there it was down in the trash underneath pizza boxes and other nasty trash. We were the last ones there, we did not have pizza, if we threw anything away it would have been on top of the pizza boxes. I would like management to roll back the cameras and see who they got working for them. Asthma is not a joke, and for your clerk to steal from guest is very bad business. Do better. I'll be waiting for a response. Thank you. Date we were there was July 24th, checked out on july 25th. Room 217

We have reviewed the surveillance footage at your request and while we can see evidence of several items being thrown into the garbage by multiple members of your party-we do not see our team member anywhere near the garbage can itself at any point during a 2 hour viewing window. What we do see is that she made multiple attempts to help you locate an undetermined object staying well past the end of her shift to allow you access to the pool deck which by hotel policy was to be locked at 10pm. It appears that a member of your party does begin searching for an object around the patio loungers you were occupying well before our GSA ever entered the pool area thus concluding the item was missing 20 minutes prior to the pool deck being closed for the evening. While we can understand your frustration at missing an important medical item- we do not appreciate the accusation made upon our staff member when it seems in fact to be an error made by someone within your party at some point during your stay. We trust that you enjoyed your weekend getaway as is evident from the video footage we reviewed.
"Just needed a change in scenery!"
Completely out of hotels control, however, during Covid -19 we felt very uncomfortable in the pool area as you could barely walk around.due to small space. We knew it was across the street from the beach when we booked so that was of no surprise. Jody at the front desk was amazing. It was just the wrong time for us to visit this property ...too small

"Disappointed"
My family and I visited St Augustine and Best Western was priced comparable to most hotels. However we were shocked at the noise levels well over the closing time of the pool that was just outside our window. Well after 11:30pm the pool was occupied. We awoke to a paper bag breakfast which during Covid we were understood why but the breakfast was a joke! I got water, apple and muffin. When you charge for a room and say free breakfast and not even a bagel or hot breakfast sandwich... it was sad to have to go to Starbucks after paying for a priced room that could have made more effort. Our other family members were staying just across the way and they go a hot meal. Not worth our money and happy we were super tired from seeing your beautiful town but will not be trying a BW anytime soon.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review in regards to your recent stay with us. We do apologize for the lack of hot breakfast but due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have a strict set of guidelines to adhere to. We have adjusted room rates to reflect the lack of breakfast and apologize for the inconvenience. We will address the pool noise with our team as we do lock the pool gates at 10pm so as not to disturb other guests' and regret this was not the case during your stay. We do hope you will provide us with another opportunity to make it up to you however understand that your experience was not what you were hoping it to be.
"Great stay with kids"
My family and I booked 2 rooms at this hotel. Kudos to all the staff, especially Jody at the front desk. We were pleased with the size of the pool and the short walk across A1A (in a well-marked crosswalk) to the beach. The hotel provided towels for the beach and pool. The hotel can't serve a hot breakfast during the coronavirus, but they provided a grab-n-go bagged breakfast of water, muffin, fruit, and a Nutrigrain bar. Those items plus milk, cereal, and sandwich fixings from the nearby Publix let us splurge on several nice dinners out. Hotel is very close to historical district and is a stop for the one of the tourist trains (altho the timing didn't work for us this trip). About 20 minutes north of Marineland and the great kayaking company they partner with.

"Ants in room"
The staff at the hotel were nice. After one hour of being in our room, I found ants all over my side of the bed and behind the night table. It seems behind the night table has not been clean for a while. When I spoke to the person at the front desk, he said he was not surprise as this been an issue. He offered to spray or give us another room. We changed room which turned out okay. This inconvenience robbed us over 1.5 hours out of our vacation. I felt we should have been compensated with a free night for our inconvenience. The location of the hotel was perfect, right across the street from the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops, It was a nice trip for my husband and I. If you don't like grab and go breakfast, plan to eat out. It s the same grab and go items each morning,

Thank you for your review. We do apologize for the pest issue you experienced and have since had our local pest control company come out to address it. Unfortunately due to the amount of rain we have had recently the pests can find a way into the guest rooms and while we do our best to control them we can understand how they would impact your stay. We hope that you will provide us with another opportunity to WOW you however understand that your recent experience was not what you were hoping for.
"Decent hotel, great staff."
We stayed in two rooms for three nights. The outside of the hotel is absolutely gorgeous! The rooms are very small but look to have been renovated within the past few years. The bathroom has a sliding door (which I do not like) and was constantly getting stuck and required alot of surface contact. All rooms open to the outside so that made this feel more like a motel. Breakfast is currently "grab and go" which is a brown bag with fruit, a muffin, a nutrigrain and a water. I thought that was very nice of them to supply that since a traditional breakfast isn't feasible due to Covid. They are also only offering housekeeping upon request so you have to put your towels and trash out and go to the desk any time you need replenishment. I found that every single front desk person was welcoming and friendly and did not seem irritated by my many requests for towels. The hotel is one block from the beach - - a crosswalk is right in front so there was no problem crossing A1A. The pool was usually crowded but it was well kept. Overall this was a good value for proximity to the beach and a 5 mile drive from historic St. Augustine. All staff encountered were very friendly and polite.

"Nice if you are not able to get on the beach"
This is a very clean and well located hotel in St. Augustine Beach. We were there at the end of Covid shut down so breakfast was not offered. Rooms are large and standard furnished. Parking is a little crowded but they have parking along side street. Pool is small but does have a hot tub. There is electric charging for electric cars.

"Nice place"
This hotel was nice and very close to the beach. You just had to cross the road. The beach was very nice also. Was located within walking distance to many restaurants. The staff was very friendly and we were very happy and felt very safe with all the cleaning and safety precautions used for the virus. Would stay there again if we go back to St Augustine.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Ocean view room at other hotels were booked so this was a great 2nd location at only 1/3 the price. The beach was across the street and down a short hill. Internet was strong. Nice Shower with plenty of hot water. Very comfortable bed curious

"Great Hotel, Staff and Location"
Due to a change in travel plans caused by CV19 we needed to find a hotel pronto. Were able to book and check in on the same day and the reception and Best Western Rewards staff were all SO helpful and flexible. The hotel is 5 mins walk to the beach and there are lots of good places to eat nearby and a Publix supermarket about 5 mins drive away. The room was very comfy and there is free parking and a pool that was well used and sunny. The hotel is an agent for the trolley tour bus in St.Augustine and a 3 day pass gets you a free shuttle from the hotel to St.Augustine which saves all the hassle of the traffic and parking and means you can partake of a beverage or two! The reception desk also helped with printing our changed flight boarding docs. Recommended

"Beautiful rooms decor"
The rooms have been beautifully renovated. Great location. We took advantage of the 3 day Old Town Trolley ticket to go into the old city to explore and enjoy the days. Having the trolley to get around the old city and back and forth to the Best Western was a real bonus. No worries about parking (or drinking and driving)
"Highly recommend"
I use BW frequently in North America and occasionally Europe. BW St.Augustine Beach is one of the best I have used. The staff were smart and knowledgeable, the rooms clean and well apponited, the pool great and it is only a short walk to the broad sandy beach. Breakfast area is small.
"Great Experience!"
Room was extremely clean! Breakfast was great with a large selection to meet everyone's taste. We will definately stay here again. Best Western never disappoints! We can always depend on Best Western when staying far from home!
"Great Beach Choice"
We were impressed with the courteous service, spacious and clean bathroom and a SUPER comfortable bed. The location was ideal as it is near the beach and a ten minute ride into historical St Augustine. Great choice!
"excellent location, excellent place to stay"
We'd stayed there several springtimes ago and had enjoyed it, so we booked it for an anniversary weekend and are very glad we did. Pleasant, quiet room, very helpful staff: stress-free check-in and checking out, too.
"Saint Augustine Wedding"
My cousin got married down the road at the Embassy Suites. My husband and I stayed at the much less expensive Best Western Beach Inn. The staff was AWESOME. Jamila checked us in and was super friendly. Virginia is a gem! I'm still nursing and not only were they great about storing my milk in the freezer, Virginia packed it up with ice for our return trip. Max maintains the common/breakfast area and he was always ready with a smile and a warm greeting. The room was quiet, clean and when our hot water went out, they fixed it ASAP. We would stay here again for sure!

"Great Hotel in a Great Location"
Hotel is well maintained and I loved the outside and inside decor. Rooms are simply decorated without carpet which I think is a great bonus. Breakfast was good, usual eggs, sausage, waffles. Breakfast room got very busy about 8 a.m. so going earlier or later a better option. The location is fabulous. Beach is one block across the street and there is also an ice cream shop and restaurants within easy walking distance. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

"Wonderful!"
We stayed here October 2018 but I forgot to review. I will stay here from now on. The room is clean and so aesthetically pleasing to me and calming. It's also such a short distance from the beach! All you have to do is cross the main road and walk down the side road thing (that's more like a driveway for the houses there), up the small sand dune, across the wooden bridge and you're on the beach! We did have what I assume would be locals tell us to “get the F off the road!” when we were walking back to the hotel when we were on the side road, but other than that no issues!

"Great hotel...but...keep your Privacy Lock in place when in your room night AND day!"
First, let me say, we are a big fan of Best Western. The only reason I gave this hotel 3 stars was the fact that TWICE, in a two night stay, we had hotel staff literally "barge into our room" unannounced! First was the maintenance man, shortly after check-in to to replace an ironing board we did not request (no knock, no announcement) - just opened the door and in he came - walked right past us like nothing was wrong!! We reported it to Jody at the front desk. The next day...while changing clothes,again, no knock, no announcement, in comes "housekeeping"! Fortunately my husband reached the door before she completely entered! Again, reported this to front desk... Both times management apologized profusely and stated staff was instructed to to "knock and announce" before entering. This is obviously being ignored. While this hotel is very nice, comfortable, clean, convenient - this type of behavior from the staff is unacceptable and rather unnerving. Would I stay here again? - probably so. However, I would be certain to keep the privacy lock in place at all times to avoid this intrusion. Management needs to have a SERIOUS discussion with staff about this situation before they start losing business!
VictoriaLege, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review regarding your recent stay with us. We are deeply apologetic for the incident that you encountered whilst staying on our property.

"My favorite hotel"
I keep coming back to this hotel because I love that the rooms have modern, updated furniture. The outside of the hotel is beautiful and it's very close to the beach. There's just nothing that I don't like about it. I never even consider another hotel when I visit St Augustine.

"Under construction!"
Great room except...........construction started at 8:00 at night. under our room. Sheetrock was being installed in hotel laundry and they couldn't do it during the day because then needed to do laundry so they did it at night. Lots of hammering and screw-gun noise. Then came the sanding dust and we had trouble breathing. We reported this at checkout but front desk person wasn't really interested and did absolutely nothing. At reservation or check-in we were not told about night construction. The promised gluten free breakfast bagels and bread were a fantasy. Tile in bathroom and shower floor was very slippery. Dangerous when wet. No grab-bar in shower or tub.
VictoriaLege, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a candid review of your stay with us here at St. Augustine Beach. We can certainly understand your frustrations in regards to the off season construction which occurred during your stay. We did attempt to get you away from the dust and debris by upgrading you to our King Suite however regret that it was more of any inconvenience to you being above the noise. We have reached out to our food providers- as promised- in regards to a more expansive gluten free menu. Currently our offerings include cheerios, fresh fruit and fruit cocktail as well as redskin potatoes and cheese omelettes- which was discussed. We can understand how this would be disappointing for someone with dietary restrictions and for that truly apologize. Thank you for voicing your concerns to the slippery shower floor- we do provide non-slip mats in all of our guest rooms to ensure everyone's safety. We appreciate your loyalty as a Best Western Rewards member and regret that we fell short of your expectations. Enjoy your travels wherever they may take you.
"Location, value and cleanliness"

My husband and I stayed in a fancier hotel the night before, we decided to extend our stay in St. Augustine another day but needed a place to stay as most hotels were booked.

Check-in was great. She was so helpful, professional, and friendly. Sold us tickets to the trolley in town, and they provide a shuttle to the trolley.

We enjoyed this property a few years ago and now even more to due to the updating. Front desk agents are great. Breakfast and its area is not large but entirely adequate.

Stayed for 1 night with my husband and 2 boys in their 20's we had adjoining rooms which was ideal. Rooms were a good size and had very large TV's! The staff were very friendly and happy to help.

"Anniversary get-away"
Spending our anniversaries and birthdays in St. Augustine beach is must for us since it's our favorite place to unwind. Since our wedding anniversary fell very closed to Labor day (September 3), you expect a lot of people staying in the beach to end the summer break. it was kind of hard to book on hotels with fur baby with us., as well. Taking into consideration the high amount of $30 pet fee per day and $75 one time pet fee seems to be too much. So we had a last minute changed of plan and decided to not bring our fido. So it's our first time book in BW hotel and should I say that BW hotel room is ok (not big not small) for a couple. Me and my husband are so much impressed with their breakfast meals. They serve hot and cold meal breakfast and they changed it daily. They have juices, fruits and they have an array of cereals, yogurt, muffins, different breads, waffles plus their hot meals like biscuit and gravy, turkey sausage, pork sausage, eggs, tots and of course their hot chocolate and coffee. Everything is good and we even told the hotel staff that we appreciated their effort to serve good meals to start our day. Though, coffee is so bland which we didn't care for much, there were others to consider instead. Maybe, they could work on their coffee next time, Other than, they really are good in serving breakfast. Being a constant hotel guests (I know how to differentiate and I equate hotel reservations based on the breakfast they served as its part of the hotel package. The cons - the pillows were very uncomfortable. Maybe they could check on it and probably guests could have a choice of hard, soft, medium pillows. Sleep deprivation is not good especially if you're a hotel guests. Comfortable sleeping is a necessary factor in weighing hotel guests because we spent 1/3 of our lives in sleeping. Refrigerator also seems not releasing any cold at all. We bought some stuff to eat and drinks and placed it there but didn't help at all. Everything is nice wonderful and hopefully this info might help the management to better their service. We will still come back because the staff were all great and pleasant. There is always room for improvement.

"Great staff and service"
Nice location, close to beach, great breakfast. Very friendly helpful staff. Went out of their way to make sure we had a good stay. Different breakfast each day. Short one block walk to beach. They offered beach towels.

"Dog friendly and good location"
We stayed at this Inn for a couple night just to get away for a couple days. The hotel is. Ice, the room was nice and the breakfast was exceptional. It is about a three minute walk across A1A to the beach access. Not really walkable to restaurants as the closest is about 7 blocks. At least not for me, but here seen a lot of good restaurants in the area. The only negative was the bed wasn't comfortable. I think it was the pillows. Need to have a choice in soft and firm pillows. The stag was very friendly and helpful!! We will stay here again.

"Pre-anniversary trip"
Was very surprised by this property. The staff was amazing. Room was renovated. Attention to detail from staff was a lovely touch. Located across the street from the beach and in a quiet area. I would definitely come back. While the property is older, they overcome that with great service and a much better than average breakfast.

"Just Passing Through"
What an absolutely pleasant surprise! My husband, 12 year old daughter and I stayed at this hotel for one night on our trek down 95 to Orlando. This hotel is spotless and so convenient to the beach and restaurants. The beach is literally across the street! They also have a very nice breakfast in the morning including eggs and sausage along with waffles and other typical items you would find at a complementary breakfast in a hotel. Our only issue was that we didn't stay longer!

"Best hotel stay in a VERY long time!!!"
This was the best stay my family and I have had in a very long time. The room was clean, location awesome, staff super accomadating! We stayed for 3 nights 2 adults, five year old and 10 mo old. The walk to the beach was easy for the five year old. Every morning although the breakfast area was packed the breakfast attendant was on the move refilling constantly! People would hold up empty containers and he would promptly refill them with a smile. There were no seats left in breakfast area so front desk lady offered for us to sit in lobby on couch, she even brought us a high chair and said "dont worry,do what you need to do" when I apologized about the mess my baby was making. There were staff members constantly cleaning the grounds or working on something. The pool was cleaned every morning we were there. We will be back!

"Quick beach trip"
Nice small hotel in a great location! Hotel staff was very friendly, hotel room very clean and tastefully decorated. The only complaint and just a suggestion really is for some ventilation in the bathroom. Once you close the door it gets warm in there as there is not an a/c vent in there. Other than that it was a great stay and we appreciated the hot breakfast not just danish and coffee like other places. Would highly recommend.

"A wonderful place to stay! "
Our family of 6 (including a toddler) stayed 4 nights here this week. We stayed in the two bedroom suite on the third floor. The room was so nice and comfortable! Upgraded amenities, a full kitchen, dining room table, and plenty of room for the 6 of us. Everything was clean and everyone was very helpful and nice. The breakfast area is very small, but they make the best use out of the space. There was hot items to choose from each day along with waffle makers, cereals, and bread options. Everything tasted good. The only complaint was each morning (we ate all 4 mornings) they ran out of something. The first day all of the hot good ran out. The other days it was the yogurt, juice, or coffee. This wouldn't be too big of a deal, but they were slow to replace it (if they did at all). We never went hungry, but for the size of the hotel, they need to increase the quantities of food that is initially put out. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay. Just a minor issue. We will definitely be back.

"Great Experience"
Great price, updated hotel, nice amenities, short walk to the beach across the street. I recommend this hotel to my friends and would definitely stay here again if in the area. It is also a short distance to the downtown historic area. The only downside were the thin blankets on the bed.

"Could Be Better"
My sister and I booked a room here for a sisters beach trip. LOCATION —the location was excellent. A walk across the street and you're at the beach. Perfect. BREAKFAST—just okay. Average continental breakfast at a small breakfast area. Wasn't bad but wasn't super. Just okay. No complaints. STAFF—very kind and friendly ROOM—now here is where I'm disappointed. We stayed 4 days. Our bedding was never changed. The room smelled of a cleaning agent that masked a dirty odor. I couldn't figure out what it would be until ......I layed a damp towel on the floor to step on and the towel got black. The floors were so filfthy and gritty that I had to go buy socks so my bare feet never touched the floor. The dirty floor was frustrating. Then the door wouldn't open and close properly. You had to jerk it open and closed to get it to work. The crack on the door was so evident that I was surprised we didn't have critters. CABLE—the cable went out in our tv 3 out of the 4 days we stayed. We had to have the front desk come help fix the cable box. It was super frustrating and awkward. Overall, this hotel has potential and could be a gem with proper training and a little more upkeep.

"Great Value For St. Augustine Area"
Hotel is clean, rooms and breakfast are fine. Would stay here again. Parking is a little tight but plenty of FREE spaces. We stayed out here on the beach (it's not "beachfront" but walkable) even though we were visiting the town and did not find the location an issue. In town hotels "generally" do not have either breakfast or free parking. We found this hotel a much better option. There are plenty of dining options out here on the beach, as well as in town.

Breakfast was outstanding! The front desk was very helpful! Quick check in/out. Room was a little small for us but we knew that going in. Very clean! Great location to the Beach, very short walk across the street and great location to Salt Life Food Shack and Sunset Grill. Also within walking distance to Ice Cream and shopping! 5 minute driver to downtown St. Augustine!

We stayed 2 nights at this Best Western. It is across the street from the beach. Very clean older renovated property. The pool was spotless and great lounge chairs. Just what we needed for our girls getaway! Lots of great restaurants close and ice cream shop right across the street. Staff was five star. Hotel was quiet. Free breakfast petfect!

Saint Augustine bch. is a frequent destination for me and my family. And from now on the Best Western on A1A will be our Go-To Hotel. The room was modern, clean and spacious , service was great. The breakfast was far better than expected! And just a short walk to the beach. The pool area was beautiful and even had a hot tub. my only disapointment was the pool and hot tub was closed during my stay foir tree mantainace. other than that the hotel gets a 10

"Nice Room"
Loved this Best Western right across the road from the beach. Very convenient for our beach trip. Our room was nice, well kept, decorated nicely and the bathroom was one of the nicest I've ever seen at a Best Western. Bed was comfy. Can't speak for the pillows as I carry my own. We did not eat breakfast but a full breakfast was included with our stay at no extra cost and I did peek at the breakfast items offered it looked to me to be a wide variety. Internet reception was fast. We had everything we needed. I made a small request when booking the hotel and that request was acknowledged and done. Staff was nice and courteous. Will stay again there.

"They tried..."
I saw all the good reviews prior to booking my trip and was very excited to visit this hotel, but my oh my the floors were disgusting. One of the beds we had had a yellow stain on the fitted sheet. The cleaning staff had an issue with the cleaning solution they used, it was peeling the laminate wood floors. Shame because the decor was pretty, but our stay was cut short since if we weren't in a bed we had to wear flip flops. It was that bad. As we were checking out, the housekeeping staff were cleaning the rooms and when we walked by 2 of the 3 people in the room were sitting on the beds checking phones with one person emptying the garbage, no mopping or sweeping, and no sheets changed. The manager on duty when we checked in, explained about the floors and even came up to mop a new room for us, but the same issue occurred. The floors were peeling because the cleaning solution had wax or something in it so any dirt on the floor stuck. It was awful, and I'm wondering about some of these reviews. I hope they got new cleaning staff and no one else had these issues. They tried to offer us something else at checkout but we were too grossed outing just started the trip home early.
VictoriaLege, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us. On behalf of the entire staff I would like to apologize for the issues you had with your room. We do appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can instruct our team to immediately take corrective measures. As far as the housekeeping staff you observed, logically the floors are the last thing started in the process of cleaning. So, if they were working on other aspects of the room, they wouldn't be sweeping/mopping yet. Also, our staff always changes the bedding of a room after a check out, no exceptions. We thank you for your feedback. Best regards, Management

"Reasonable w/c RI shower Room"
Room was a little snug but older, exterior entry hotel so they made good use of their space to make it w/c accessible. The room was clean, bathroom adequate and room clean. As with most hotels, the bed was entirely too soft for a paraplegic to sleep in so didn't sleep well. Also the assigned parking spot next to exterior entrance to room does not have an access aisle so you will have to take two somewhere if the spot a few spaces down is in use. No luggage cart so be prepared to carry luggage in although they did offer to help,

"wonderful concept"
there may be some fine points others dont like, but this place was great by me. lots of info on doing something about reversing the damage mankind has done to the oceans. i suspect more improvements coming as its a fairly recent transition

"This hotel will steal your money"
My family and I stayed in this hotel for 2 days charged us for 4 days and extras not ordered or had. I brought the issue to Capital one bank and the bank rep never sent us the email to send it the proof. This bank also it really bad.(closing almost every location in NY-I am wondered why"bad bad costumer service"). Until now I am waiting for this hotel and capital one to result the issue. I would never recommended anyone to stay in this hotel. The room smells and the costumer service is really bad. Use you money and go somewhere nicer and better. Don't waste your money in here.

The hotel was clean staff friendly .. breakfast ( included ) was very nice. They have pool but didn't use or go to it WIFI. good . You can but a trolley pass here ( good for 3 days) bus picks you up right outside hotel and brings you right into center of town .. then you move to the trolley and it drives all over city .. can get out at any stop.. and get back on one they pass ever 20 min ( parking in city is 10-15 dollars so if you have big group might be better to drive into city )

"Great hotel with reasonable prices"
We had a great week stay in May for six of my family members. I had booked three rooms and we were given a free upgrade as a Best Western member to their whirlpool suite. This worked out perfectly as it was my parents 50th wedding anniversary, so they were really excited to have the suite! It was the perfect setting for their anniversary weekend :) (and their first time in Florida!) Staff: the front desk staff were all awesome. They were great to talk to and extremely friendly. We had loud neighbors one night and I called the front desk. I'm not sure what they said to the neighbors, but in less than two minutes, the neighbors had quieted down. Great customer service. Breakfast: the breakfast is great. Better selections than most hotels, and based on a talk with the staff, it sounds like they are in the process of expanding the breakfast items. Several hot items (eggs/omelette/potatoes, sausage, etc), cereal, waffle maker, cold items. My parents really likes the coffee and my boyfriend liked the sausage the best. Rooms: all the rooms were nice, but the whirlpool suite especially was perfect. It had a full kitchen with dining table, a HUGE living room that contained 3 sofas that could be used as pull-outs, a separate bedroom, bathroom that had a whirlpool suite and shower, and patio. Note that the kitchen didn't have much for kitchen supplies but I believe you can ask for those at the front desk (we didn't need them). It was perfect to have us all gather in one spot in the evenings. Our other rooms were also very clean and nice. Comfortable beds and pillows. We liked having fridges in all the rooms to store drinks in. Wi-fi worked well. Pool/beach: the pool area is pretty nice and have several places to sit with some umbrellas. There is a shower by the pool. The beach was a short walk away and a great beach. Crossing A1A proved to be tricky at times. They do have pedestrian crossings nearby where they have flags available to hold while crossing, but we usually just tried to cross near the hotel. Beach bus: there is a beach bus stop right outside the hotel. You can take the bus into St Augustine and then transfer onto the trolley. When we were there, the last pickup for the beach bus from St Augustine was at 4:30. Tip: we had debated buying trolley tickets online before our stay. The package from our hotel turned out to be cheaper, so I'm glad we waited. Parking: I had read a lot of reviews on the parking being limited, but we had no issues our entire week there. The front desk staff told us they had expanded parking, so maybe that helps. It for sound like the hotel might be remodeling this upcoming summer (2019), so it might be worth confirming that if your stay is at that time. The planned updates sound great - it sounds like they will have an elevator and fitness center. We can't wait to go back and see the changes sometime in the future! The hotel is close to several restaurants, coffee places, and a grocery store (Publix). Overall, we were very happy with our stay!

"Fantastic Motel in Excellent Location with Easy Ocean Beach Access - Super Friendly Staff - Includes Hot Breakfast Too"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Beach Inn thanks to the very friendly, helpful staff and the great location of this motel. It is within walking distance to a number of great restaurants and to get to the ocean beach you just have to walk across the street to the beach access road and right on down to the ocean. It takes only a couple of minutes to arrive at the beautiful beach and the motel also has a nice pool too. The motel staff provides extra towels for guests to take with them down to the beach which is a nice extra for those going down to swim and play in the ocean. The rooms are well maintained and very clean as is the whole property. They have mini frigs and microwaves, wi-fi and quality large screen TVs in the rooms. The full hot breakfast is delicious with all sorts of choices to please most everyone. The rates at the Best Western Beach Inn are very reasonable especially considering that a full hot breakfast is included in the room rate. We will definitely stay at this fantastic motel again and again as we take vacation trips to St. Augustine. THANK YOU for your great hospitality during our stay.

We stayed here based on the good rate for a week. It's an older-style motel with outdoor entrances to each room. The room was clean and well kept. It was definitely quiet. Free breakfast. Nice enough pool. No carpet, but that's o.k. with the all the sand. Beach access right across the street. Had we stayed on the beach side, our rate would have been double or more! Would stay here again.

"Good Short Stay"
Stayed here over Mother's Day weekend. It was fine for a two night stay, but I probably wouldn't stay much longer. Rooms adequate, beds too soft for me. Room had microwave & fridge. A/C good. TV was fine. Shower sometimes low pressure and not hot enough. Breakfast average. Food never seems to be hot in those hot warmers. Selections of food items sufficient. Sitting area cramped. They did sell discounted Trolley tickets and easy pickup outside front door. Decent Pool. Beach access across the road. Very friendly, helpful staff.

My sister and I usually meet at different destinations each Spring, but we are now hooked on the Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn.

(Also met Tina, Executive Housekeeper). Juan in Maintenance also was extremely professional! The Inn is so close to wonderful restaurants and St. Augustine itself.

"Really impressed by positive friendly team at this hotel"
Great location just a couple of minutes walk from the beach, nice little pool and hot tub, good facilities and refurbished rooms with 'no carpets' which is so much cleaner and better in the Florida heat and humidity. No widows that open which is a drag but good setup. But the genuine care and positive teamwork of the folks here makes the place.

"We loved the top floor suite and the exceptional staff."
Our family of five decided the top floor suite was worth the extra room for the price and it was a great decision. Two large bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a huge living/dining room. Very clean and attractive inside and out, and the staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and efficient. We chose this hotel as an upgrade after reading unnerving reviews of less expensive places right on the beach. It was still only a 3 minute walk directly across the street.

Great experience - will stay here again....the location - knowledge of staff - safe, secure and clean room/building - after traveling for three days through very bad weather )rain (high winds - heavy rain - two tornado's) the last thing you want is a problem at the front desk when you arrive at the hotel. No surprises with Best Western....thank you....Pete.
"Reality Escape"
Me & my husband enjoyed a relaxing time at the Best Western on St. Augustine Beach last night. Check in was fast and easy. Our room was cozy & quiet. We crossed A1A Beach Blvd. and had a nice walk on the beach. For dinner, we went to the Salt Life Restaurant. The atmosphere was awesome, especially under a full moon. My coffee was tasty in the morning with my bagel &. cream cheese. We'll be back soon for another Escape from Reality time.

"3-Day Getaway to St. Augustine"
Super clean. Hard surface floors - no carpet. This was nice for the sand. Very friendly staff. Nice pool and hot tub. Free parking. Free, tasty hot breakfast. Very pleased with the price, especially considering that it was right across the street from the beach...excellent location. Good restaurants and bars within a short walking distance. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

"Happy in St. Augustine Beach"
Great location, across from beach access in walking distance. Very modern decor, internet in all areas, very clean all throughout hotel. Pool and hot tub were well maintained. Best breakfast for hotel, great coffee, great detail for cleanliness and food handling. I generally never feel hotels are clean enough and this was very clean and you could smell bleach and wasnt just half way cleaned like alot of other hotels. Beds are firm which isnt my preference but was still comfortable. Best landscaping for the area. Like the fishing pier in walking distance and the fountain area with playground nearby as well.

"Very Affordable and close to the beach "
Spent Spring Break here with the family and found the place to be very affordable. It's a very nice and clean hotel that's less than a minute walk from the beach. The rooms were a little smaller than what we have come to expect at a Best Western but they were clean and looked freshly painted. The staff was polite and helpful and the breakfast was good too. There r a few nice restaurants and eateries within walking distance.

"Marvelous Stay"
This is the perfect location for St Augustine Beach. Room was a tad small but truly sufficient. The bathroom was large and well laid out. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Plenty of water pressure and hot water. The housekeeping staff was the best we have experienced on an extended stay. Maintenance man - Craig - was very efficient with his job as well as being our "travel guide" with routes for motorcycling. If you have a trailer there is parking on the side road. The beach is just across the street. Great restaurants within walking distance. All staff were friendly and efficient in their positions and were eager to have our stay be the best possible.

"Perfect location to St Augustine."
Great desk staff, rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was nice. Good location, had a trolley stop right out front to take you downtown. 2 minute walk to the beach or several different restaurants or shops.

"Really great hotel"
Our trip here started with a free upgrade to suite, so we went in on a high. The suite was really nice, comfy bed, private balcony, big living room which we really never used at all, and jet tub (which I didn't use either as the jets shot water all over the bathroom, pilot error I'm sure) which was big and comfy. Tons of hot water. Small note- the plug was really hard to get working. Husband says the bands were stripped or something manly like that. But he got it to work eventually. The staff was super nice and very helpful and courteous, which I just love. We enjoyed the hot tub, although the pool was too cold to use yet. The coffee was good, and the breakfast surprisingly excellent. Try to get there early- the prep area is tiny and there's not much seating, so it's all the more to their credit that they put on such a spread. Great selection, including fresh hot waffles! They even gave us towels to take to the beach. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

"Easy access to the beach and good restaurants"
Rooms are nicely decorated. Very good breakfast. Good restaurants within walking distance. Beach access directly across the street. Towels furnished by motel. We we there on Thursday and Friday and the price difference on the two nights was significant. Will stay away from Friday and Saturday next time.

"Very Good Value"
We stayed in room 217, 2 nights, from 4th March 2019 to 6th March. Ordinarily, we don't care much for the 'outside' room Hotels, preferring the security of the 'inside' type. However, the other Hotels were a bit pricey, so we went 'budget'. The room was recently refurbished and was a bit on the 'boutique' Hotel side of things but it was bright, cheerful and clean. The bathroom was very clean and neat, with lots of towelling. Altogether, a very high standard for the price we paid. The breakfast area was a little small; adequate for the numbers staying while we were there, but I wonder how it will cope at peak time in the summer. The food itself was very good, curated by a very polite and attentive gentleman. Overall, it was good value for the money we paid, and very convenient for both beach and downtown St Augustine (about 10 minutes).

"Nice play to stay"
We stayed there on a visit to st augustine. Nice place, good location, not much traffic. @ blocks from the beach. Clean hotel. Friendly staff. Typical best western breakfast. I would stay there again. Nice restaurant next door. Short 15 minute ride to old St Augustine

"GREAT PLACE TO STAY"
I have been coming to St Augustine since I was a child, and I always stay at the Best Western Bayfront, right in the historic area. We decided to stay at this location this time (on the way home to NC and usually stop in St Augustine overnight to break up our trip). I actually love this location now though. It is of course less expensive than staying right in the historic area, but you are still incredibly close to that area. Room is pretty large (and modern as well. Love that there is no carpet, yuck (in this location or the Bayfront location). Super close to restaurants, etc. Cute ice cream shop right across the road that we liked as well. Staff has been very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again in the future.
"Clean, quiet, on the beach, and close to tourist attractions"
This hotel was very clean and quiet, and very convenient for us. Unfortunately the hot water went out the night we stayed there, but other than that, I would still choose this hotel for our next stay in St. Augustine, FL. We stayed in a room on the south side of the hotel in February, and it was warm and sunny. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Eat-in and take-out restaurants are close by. I would definitely stay there again. The Breakfast was great, especially the grits!

"Nice location, near the beach"
We had originally intended to spend the night in Daytona Beach. We didn't know that the Daytona 500 was this weekend, so we were very surprised at the rates until we found out about the race. We decided to stay in St. Augustine Beach. We absolutely loved the town at the beach. The people were so friendly, and the beach was absolutely gorgeous and so close to the hotel. The community surrounding the hotel is attractive. The hotel itself seems to be well maintained. My only complaint about the hotel was the bed, which for me was not very comfortable. We appreciated that they put us into the family suite on the top (third) floor, since it was very roomy. This is a hotel without an elevator, so if you are physically unable to walk up stairs, ask for the first floor. I don't have a pet, but I was advised that they have four rooms where pets can stay with their owners.

"No hot water!"
Good location and good breakfast. When using hot water at any time other than peak shower time it takes up to 30 minutes of letting the water run to get hot water. They explained that it's they way their water system works. You want to shower when coming back from the beach? wait 30 minutes! Want to wash your hands after using the toilet? Use cold water it's quicker. Our room had an adjoining room. We could hear the man next door snoring and I can repeat every word they said.

Very nice, clean hotel. The size of the TV was a Bonus. The room was a good size. Shower worked GR8. Didn't hear any road noise while I was trying to sleep. Quite a few near by restaurants. Absolut no complaints.

"Wonderful Accommodations and The Price is Right"
Visited Saint Augustine almost 20 years ago and wanted to return to catch the acclaimed Holiday Lights display and to visit the World Golf Hall of Fame. Now that we are both retired and living in Sarasota, Fl we decided that the time was right. Luckily we chose to book the Best Western Saint Augustine Beach Inn. Newly renovated our two queen sized bed room was beautifully appointed, extremely clean, comfortable, and so reasonably priced we were DELIGHTED! The complementary full breakfast especially for my partner who goes to bed dreaming about the morning meal was icing on the cake! We were a half block from the beach and despite the chilly weather we enjoyed walking the beach in search of shells. Only a 15 minute drive to downtown Saint Augustine to do our tourist things we enjoyed staying close to the Atlantic shore. The staff was friendly and assistive. The Best Western Saint Augustine Beach Inn is on our stay again list.

"Enjoyed our stay"
My husband and I found some free time and took a week visiting the East Coast of Florida. Our last stay before home was this Best Western and we were very pleased with the service and with the accommodations. It was the first time we had traveled with our small dog and finding motels that are truly "pet friendly" was more difficult, in some cases more expensive, than we knew. The people at this motel were kind and helpful and the room was perfect for us and our small companion pet! She seemed to sense it as well as she was relaxed and happy even when we were out to dinner and she was alone. We have no complaints at all about the accommodations here. The breakfast offerings were excellent and the attendant, Ihor, was a delightful and friendly man. When he ran low on grits the first morning we were there he promised that he would have plenty for us the next morning and he did as well as made sure we had anything else we needed. A nice selection is provided and the area kept neat and clean. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here and will certainly book again when we are in the area.

Excellent bedding, and great location. Minutes away from St Augustine historic center by car. Even closer to St Augustine beach on foot!

"Price gauged"
Two days after getting home 01/03/19 we looked up their price for the same accommodations and found out we paid three times more than their normal price. With no refunds for cancellation. Totally disgraceful practice. Plus they had two electric car recharging parking spots that were occupied by gas powered vehicles. We ended up haveing to park street side , along a side road. I would not recommend this location to anyone. Saint Augustine is a wonderful city,we will visit again but never at this location. Price gauging is real , be careful.
AliT3675, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us. The hotel's rates ( like all hotels/lodging) will increase during higher times of demand. The time period you stayed with us is one of the busiest of the year. After 12/31 the prices drop dramatically based on lesser demand (January is our slowest month) This is practiced by almost all seasonal businesses, especially hotels. Rates are always subject to change based on demand and availability.
"Affordable, great stay!"
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE hotel to stay in when I'm visiting St. Augustine! Just minutes away from the Historic District, a 2 minute walk to the beach and walking distance to a handful of good restaurants and shops. Rooms are updated and spacious with a microwave, mini fridge and beautiful bathroom. They offer free continental breakfast which is always delicious! This is where I always stay when I'm in the area. I highly recommend everyone staying at this Best Western.

"Stayed at this hotel for a destination wedding in Oct 2018"
This hotel was an excellent location to discover downtown St Augustine. Lots to see and participate in that didn't require a vehicle. Uber was easily attainable in the event you wanted to travel further. The rooms were clean and I also enjoyed relaxing by the pool.

I am so glad we found this gem. The management are great, the rooms are large with frig, coffee maker. Chair, ottoman, desk, mirror above it and large dresser. Plenty of lights, big window. The bath has an extra large vanity. All newly done in very nice tiles. It is a short walk to beach and has a pool and hot tub. And the price is great. This motel exceeded our expectations.

First time at a Best Western. Room was small but nice. Love the bathroom products. Had to pay ($15.00 a night) for parking due to it's St Augustine. You can walk to almost every thing from here. Carriage rides right across the street.

My husband and I stayed for a night. We were very satisfied with rooms and service. The location of the hotel is great - a short drive from historic St. Augustine and steps from the beach!

"Location & Staff are great-everything else, just OK"
The location of this hotel is great-right across the street from the beach, and the staff was also wonderful during our stay. However, while the rooms seem updated and modern, the cleanliness here is lacking. I am not sure the last time the rooms were truly deep-cleaned. I almost wonder if they literally just change the sheets and trash before a new customer comes in, and that's it. Again, great location and staff, but it just didn't feel clean like it should. The clock was broken on both the alarm clock and the microwave, so glad we had phones to see the time. Breakfast was OK-don't expect much. There are some good places in walking distance to get bfast as well. Not sure I would stay again, but it wasn't horrible.

"Very Nice “Motel”"
Best Western has improved over the years, and this Motel is a good example. (If I drive and park in front of my room, I consider it a Motel) This BW was nicely remodeled and clean. Our king bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The pool area was surrounded by tall palm trees; but the pool water was too cold and the hot-tub was too hot. (My only complaint on this trip). We did a lot of driving and have a few tips: There is very little to do south of the Motel. We found all our great activities north of the Motel. St. Augustine was fantastic and we had dinner each night at 4 wonderful locations: Caps was our favorite, The A1A Restaurant was Great, we enjoyed the Salt Life Bar and loved the views at Beaches' Bar.

"GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY (CLEAN!)"
Just returned from 3 night stay. Great value! Good size modern room. Room was very clean. Very comfortable beds. No carpet in room which was one of the reasons I chose this hotel . You don't get that musty carpet smell that is sometimes unavoidable in humid climates and I just get easily grossed out by carpets in hotels. AC works GREAT!! Nice small pool and hot tub . Always free coffee in lobby as well as coffee maker and refrig in room. Small complimentary breakfast buffet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Felt very safe. Close to beach less than 5 minute walk. You do have to cross hwy A1A but it wasn't that bad or dangerous. Just waited until no cars (although October may be slower time of year, especially during the week. We left Saturday morning and hotel lot was much fuller- it was 1/2 empty mid week) Very close to downtown( no more that 15 minutes-maybe a little less) Debated staying closer to town but I was glad I made the right choice to stay near the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

"Great Place, Very close to the beach!!"
Checked in mid afternoon on a Saturday. The staff was very friendly and full of helpful information. He told us all about the bus schedule to Downtown Savannah and a few restaurants that he enjoyed. The room was very clean and the beds were soft and pillows were great. The bathroom has a pocket door you can close for more privacy. The shower was hot and we had plenty of clean towels. The refrigerator and microwave worked great. The breakfast was really good, biscuits, sausage, eggs, gravy, cereal, waffles, and plenty more. The pool was clean and the hot tub was very nice after a long day walking around. The Beach is less then a 5 minute walk. straight across the street and down the walkway straight to it. I will definitely be back here!!!

"Nice hotel - very modern"
Nice hotel - very modern room. Typically Best Western with parking lot infront of the rooms. Room had a cozy bed and brilliant WiFi. Hotels offers an outdoor pool, which we did not use. Save is available on room. Beach is 3min foodwalk away. Would book again
"Excellent value for the price"
My husband and I decided at the last minute to take an overnight trip to St. Augustine from our home in Jacksonville. We found that this hotel had everything we were looking for and the price was right! Loved the location of the room! It was on the first floor right next to the pool! We checked in and immediately hit the pool! The water was perfect! After a wonderful dinner at The Llama Restaurant we came back and went for a moonlit swim followed by a walk on the beach which was just acoss the road. The room was decorated with a very beachy theme which we loved! It was the perfect end of week get away!
"Nice hotel, with good location and value "
We stayed a single night on an extended summer road trip with our 2 boys 14 and 11. I wish we had more time here as it was a very nice budget hotel only a block away from St. Augustine beach and 10 minute drive to Historic St. Augustine. The pool was nice and the boys enjoyed it thoroughly. Will stay again when I return to St. Augustine.
"Excellent stay!"
My husband and adult son visited St. Augustine for vacation. I had reserved two rooms and requested we be near each other. At the day we were suppose to arrive, I realized I neglected to also request first floor. I called the hotel while we were driving and asked if any first floor rooms were available and they said yes they had one only but upon check-in two were available and we were very happy that we were right next to each other. Great service!
"Weekend getaway "
First off Best Western offers a great military/veteran discount and my family and I appreciated that very much! We stayed in room 106 and it appeared to be newly remodeled. The room was in good condition, had comfy beds, and clean bathroom. Our only complaints were with the water pressure in the shower and there wasn't very much parking. Very nice staff at the front desk and nice pool area. Great price and good stay! We would definitely consider staying here again.
"Birthday weekend"
Stayed here for a birthday weekend. Hotel was very nice. Staff very nice. It was a short drive into old Saint Augustine to explore. Only a two minute walk to beach and ice cream. Several nice restaurants close bye.

"late summer get away"
The renovations made everything look new, the staff were great, but the smell of mold ruined our stay. They said the beach was a three minutes walk away, well....if you're 10 and can run there maybe but at our age it was quite a walk. They did serve a very nice breakfast.

"Great hotel"
This was a great hotel to stay at. Beautiful rooms freshly remodeled. First time I stayed at a here that did not have carpet. It felt very clean. Everything was very neat and clean Good value Everything was perfect until breakfast. The only thing I can say is maybe they should rethink serving breakfast it was terrible it made me sick the omelets tasted as if they had sat around for days. There was no room to hardly move in the breakfast area and it was just my wife and I. I write a lot of reviews as I travel a lot this one was a tough one hate having to write a bad review I hope they fix there breakfast issues

"Very nice, clean, modern rooms"
My husband & I just returned from a two night stay - we attended a concert at the Amphitheater. We were very impressed and pleased with the modern and clean rooms. The decor was outstanding, even in the bathroom. Shower was great. Cleaning woman that we met was very nice. Check in was smooth and easy. Woman at desk offered us 3 room locations. We thought this was outstanding. This hotel is across the street from the beach, and within walking distance of restaurants. Very convenient to the Amphitheater. Parking is a little tight at the hotel, but we did find a parking space each time we left. Just mentioning a few things that could have made our stay better . . we intended to lounge around the pool for a few hours - didn't happen. The pool was cloudy; it wasn't sparkly or clean looking Friday or Saturday. That was a NO for us. The door to our room stuck, we thought it was our key, but it was the door - it took 3-4 tries before we could get it to open. The breakfast area where drinks, etc. was small. The tables and chairs in the seating area were jammed in there. The breakfast was just up to par the day we were there. I guess if you like gravy and biscuits, then it is great. We did eat cereal and the coffee was good. It seems most offered was pre-made. However, we would probably stay there again.

"Clean and good location"
Originally we planned on driving home to Orlando after the day but we were tired and decided to stay the night and drive home in the morning. We were worried we wouldn't be able to find a room but we were in luck. The staff was great and quick to help with any problems. The room seemed to be recently renovated. Will absolutely stay here again when we come back to St. Augustine.

Overall very good and clean standard value hotel close to beach with attentive staff. Breakfast included which is nice though of course not fine dining. Not on the beach but just a short walk. Review based on expectation for this type of hotel.

"Great Hotel walking minutes from beach"
This hotel is truly only a few walking minutes from the beach. The staff was very helpful and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Parking is tight so a little more difficult for people with big trucks but our SUV was no problem. Our room had been recently renovated and was clean/comfortable and quiet! We enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back

"Wonderful Place!"
Front desk: Superb. Room: Immaculate. Breakfast: Delicious. We loved it there so much we stayed an extra day. Right across the road from the beach and convenient to all the in-town attractions. We stayed in one of the suites with a large balcony, which we enjoyed very much in the evenings. I would absolutely recommend this hotel, and hope to stay there again soon.

"Mini vacation "
Truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The rooms are super comfortable and very spacious. The room and bathroom were both clean. The beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows for a good night sleep. Location is key, the beach is literally right across the street from the beaches. You have a long strip of beaches right in front of you. The staff is very attentive and will help with directions, suggestions and anything else you may need. The daily breakfast was very tasty and they offered a variety of choices which made it easy even for the most pickiest of eaters. We did not use the pool but it was available to about 10PM. We enjoyed our stay and if we come back to the area will absolutely use this hotel again.

"Great location"
Hotel is right across from the beach. The rooms are freshly updated with new paint and new furniture. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. About 20 minutes from downtown historic Saint Augustine though! Although breakfast is free, it was nowhere near what I expected. They ran out of food quite frequently and the eat in area is TINY. The walls are super thin so if you're traveling with kids, this may be an issue for noise complaints. I was stacked between two families and had problems sleeping. Overall, my stay was good. I would be back.

"Beach Hotel"
Property located very close to beach, downtown Saint Augustine and restaurants. Parking area was very tight due to re modelling. Overall, I would recommend this hotel, location is great and very close to the beach. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Swimming pool area very small

"Road Trippin continues "
I am really starting to like the folks at Best Westren. My wife and I have joined them as rewards members and have stayed with them at every hotel stay on our vacation. This property has a gorgeous exterior. The outdoor pool and hot tub were enjoyable. The entire staff was courteous and friendly. Especially Vin & Victoria, they helped us out numerous times. Rooms were clean and updated. Breakfast bar was nice, I am finding out that most Best Western properties do have soy milk available upon request for any vegans traveling with you, this property included. This location is also in realistic walking distance to the beach, a walking trail, restaurants & a few stores. Overall the entire family enjoyed themselves here. St Augustine is a very beautiful and relaxed beach town, with that distinctive “Island “ feel to it.

"Long weekend get away"
Typical motel at the beach, not enough hot water at peak times. Overly crowded, very small parking lot with not enough spots. (front desk had guests parking in handicap spots?) we had to park on opposite side of the building from our room once. Door to the room was so hard to open and close you had to kick it. "free" breakfast was blah. Breakfast room was cramped and hot. Not a great way to start the day. Looks like they were just finishing with a remodeling so the room was OK. Horrible....... No. Will we stay there on our next visit to our nation's oldest city....... No, too many other choices.
Front Desk B, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
I apologized you have not enjoyed your stay , but we are proud of our newly renovated rooms and got great reviews all our guests. Due to weather conditions we have to constantly work with improvement in the building. Parking is available for one car each room but its not designated with room numbers. Breakfast area has enough seating as per brand standards for 50 room hotel with 2 air conditioner and central air conditioner guests always turn them off because they feel cold Breakfast timing is 6 am till 10 am sometime everyone comes at the same hour and get crowded. Again we apologize for the inconvenience but we are no 1 branded property at ST.Augustine Beach.

"Close to the Beach, restaurants and attractions."
Nicely updated! Tile floors, Great lighting , nice bath. Hot breakfast was good and there was a nice selection of breads, cereals as well. Parking is pretty tight and you may not be able to park close to your room. Desk staff was extremely helpful. No appreciable noise from A!A. Easy crossing to beach.

"Enjoyable stay"
Just returned from our 5 night stay at Best Western St. Augustine Beach with my daughter and two grandchildren ages 10 & 12. Check in was fast & easy, rooms were very clean, decent size with mini fridge & microwave. Beds were very comfortable & free morning breakfast was good with a large selection. There are many restaurants within walking distance or a short drive from the motel. We purchased tickets for Historic tours of America trolley for downtown historic area. This was a great price, with a shuttle picking us up at the motel & bringing us back each afternoon, definitely a stress free way to see the sights! We are looking forward to our next visit!

"Short walk to the beach"
Pros: The staff at the front desk was super nice with each encounter. The aesthetics of the room renovations were very modern. Breakfast was great and the short walk to the beach was convenient. Cons: parking was tight at times and the walls seemed very thin and noise from other rooms was frequently heard. My main complaint was house keeping. The first afternoon upon entrance I noticed that the platform from bed was filthy around the mattress. The sheets were clean, but they were tucked under the mattress, thus touching the dirty platform. There was thick dust on the lamp shade and hair on the bathroom floor. One day we had tracked sand into the room from the beach and houskeeping left the sand on the floor which is not only dirty, but also a fall hazard on the hard floors. Overall our stay was enjoyable, but the housekeeping could use some fine tuning

"Nice place and location"
We decided to stay close to the beach side on this trip. The hotel has a decent rate. The cleanliness of the room can be improved and additional parking would be great, as it was challenging to find parking for whatever reason. Overall, it was decent.

"Best Vacation Ever"
From the day we arrived till the day we departed we had the most wonderful vacation ever.. The staff was fabulous, the breakfast was great, the pool was wonderful and the place was quiet..You are 1 block from the ocean and do have to cross a road but with minimal traffic and at each crosswalk they have orange flags that you pick up so the drivers will know you are crossing.Close to Restaurants,ice cream shop,burger joint and about 1 mile south a Publix grocery store and also more places to grab some fast food.. Approx. 5 miles to downtown St.Augustine and here is a tip. If you have a Handicap tag or sticker ask where you can park for free because it will save you some money..

"Good choice"
This hotel is close to the beach, basically across from it. Staff were friendly, kind, helpful, especially Vin. But all were great. Cost was reasonable. Parking is a little tight, but was Ok. Pool was the coldest pool I ever felt in florida!, but there is a spa too. Pool appeared clean, spa looked a little dirty. Breakfast was nice, great options! Waffle maker, assorted juices, different type of egg every day hard boiled, (scrambled, cheesy, fried?) Different meat every day-Bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, potatoes,Bagels, toast, muffins, biscuits, yogurt, coffee, cereal, fruit. Just great options. My room was nicely remodeled and was comfortable and seemed clean. Has small refrigerator (no freezer), microwave, single cup coffee maker. I would have given 4 stars, but....there appeared to be an old/current leak on my ceiling. Like it looked like it was painted over, but yet looked a little fresh even though it didn't feel wet. One of the reading lights above bed did not work. Air freshener was overwhelming upon arrival, and not sure why they spray it on the sheets? Like I could see/feel some of the spots on the sheets. And I wouldn't want that touching me. (Just asked for no room spray the rest of my stay) Inconsistent cleaning from housekeeping. 1st day housekeeping did a great job with the room- was impressed, but took until like 3p to clean it. 2nd day-housekeeping was just Ok. Didn't wipe out tub. Floor didn't feel so clean. 3rd was a little better. Worst reception in our room for wifi/phone service. I don't remember room #, but it was basically catty corner from the main officen all the way in the back 1st floor. (But it was a quiet area! Thankful for that) Overall, I would stay again. Great staff, great breakfast, great location. Maybe they will consider being dog friendly in the future.

Probably the best hotel that I have stayed for at this price. Staff was very kind and the location was perfect.

"Family Reunion Getaway"
The 2 bedroom we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous and the service was excellent. The only downside was the ONLY mirror in the entire suite for 10 was in the bathroom. They had beach towels and pool towels at the front desk which was a big help. We contacted them for more towels, pillows, and sheets and they were prompt and pleasant. If you are looking for the beach area, this is right across the street. However, if you are looking for downtown St. Augustine, you will have to drive there as thats way to far to walk. Breakfast was pretty good too!

"Fabulous 2nd Stay!!"
My sister and I meet every Spring and we always go to a different destination. Not this year. We went back to St. Augustine Beach and stayed at the Best Western for a second time - even had our same room!! From check in to check out, our stay was fabulous. Housekeeping was great and Paolo and Clayton were spot on. The Front Desk staff was also very accommodating including Jody, Debra and the GM Ali. Thank you to everyone! We discussed going back next Spring! We shall see??!!

"Fab stay..will be back"
We stayed here for 2 night.Check in was a breeze..room was lovely and bright and spotless...everything one needed there.Great idea taking away the carpet...especially with the beach across the road. Breakfast was grand but if something ran out you had to ask the girl instead of her automatically checking milk for fridge etc. Plenty of choice and great coffee...thought it would be bedlam trying to get a table but there was space for everyone. Only annoying thing is that on both mornings theerd weren't any towels for the beach. Heaps thrown around the pool and outside rooms..maybe a deposit of $5 should be taken then ppl would return them..I'm sure many get legs and walk.. would love to have stayed longer but didn't have time..will be back

"Great Beach location, clean amenities"
We stayed at this Best Western during one of the busiest weeks of the year- the first week of April. We booked it very last minute and were pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was. Very clean rooms, pretty property with palm trees all around, located a very short walk from the gorgeous beach, nice pool and hot tub. Our 8 yr old daughter loved the pool and we spent most of our days there. Beds were a little small- we had 2 doubles and it was not the most comfortable for my husband and I to sleep in one. I have to say the housekeepers worked incredibly hard- we saw them going from early morning to evening- please be sure to tip these hard working people! Yummy restaurants very located nearby- Salt Life was excellent as was the Sunset Grill. Ice cream shop is located right across the street and Cafe Eleven served good lunches. We LOVED LOVED the Kookaburra cafe down the street- excellent Hot Aussie coffee in the morning. The breakfast at the hotel was decent- I just had an english muffin most days but we are kind of picky and would rather spend a little money and eat out. Hot coffee served around the clock although because it was so busy they ran out several times in the morning. We used the washer/dryer on site which was really nice to have. We took the beach bus to the historic district which was free and pick up was right outside the hotel. Again, it was a busy week so the downtown area was a bit crowded and touristy for us, but still taking the trolley ride around the town to see the sites was fun. Would definitely recommend and may stay again!

"Great hotel for the price."
Very nice decor, friendly staff, across from the beach. Close to restaurants nice pool. Loved our stay breakfast was ok limited seating and hot food was not replenished fast enough. Would stay again and recommend to anyone.

"Ok for the money"
The hotel was ok. Clean rooms, good breakfast and friendly staff. It is in a convenient location and across the street from the beach. It does have exterior corridors and limited parking. We will stay there again if nothing available a little closer to Flagler College.

"A night at the beach"
This Best Western has been nicely updated. The rooms are average in size. The room was clean. The Inn is across the street from the beach. The pool is small. The front desk staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

"Great stay"
So glad I chose this location for our family's stay in St. Augustine. While not beach front was a quick walk across street. Hotel has been updated well. No carpet in rooms. A plus for a beach hotel. Rooms are very modern. Comfortable room and bathroom size. Fridge and microwave in room. Breakfast area is really small. But, is quite adequate. No complaints. Hotel supplies beach towels even! Lots of fun and good restaurants close. Location is great for Historic District and Marina - short drive. Please, check this location out. Great value!

"St Augustine Beach experience was great"
The walk to the beach and nearby restaurants were very close, just minutes away. It was a quick drive to St Augustine Old Town Area. It was nice to be offered pool towels to use on the beach. The breakfast choices were excellent, the room decor and lobby decor were updated and modern. Wed had a great time for the four days we were there. We would definitely return in the future,

"Bang for my bucks"
Great place to stay. The location is awesome in its proximity to attractions. I was very satisfied with the room and amenities. I feel that everything was well worth the money paid. I will be returning soon!
"Relaxation"
We have been very pleased with this Best Western...the staff, the surroundings & the hotel itself is very pleasant! Walking distance to several eateries & local coffee shop. Only a couple minute walk to beach from hotel & perfect relaxing spot!
"Excellent stay!"
I loved being so close to the beach and also having a family get together with family I had not seen in over 10 years. I was glad we had such nice managers to help us make this stay awesome. Night manager was extremely friendly and we loved that. Day shift managers were very accommodating to our needs.Thank you!

"Noisy night in At Augustine"
Avoid rooms 101-104. Noisy air conditioning unit howls all night. You pay through the nose for beach proximity. Nice people work here and good breakfast. Lots of nice details but so noisy in units by pool.
Ali T, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us. Apologies for the noise, we will look into ways to dampen the sound from those units. We're very happy you enjoyed the staff and other amenities. We really appreciate the feedback.
"Pleasant Stay In A Beautiful Setting"
Loved this place as we got upgraded to a King size suite. Was a bit worried as there wasn't an elevator. However, room 303 was only one flight of stairs to negotiate. The suite had three steps into the door. Obviously not everyone would want to stay in it. The room wasn't that fancy, but it had everything including a kitchen. This would be an excellent place for more than a one day stay. The balcony was gorgeous. We didn't take advantage of sitting out on it as it was chilly. The guy who checked us in was decked out in a suit and looked very professional. It was a great touch. He was also very helpful in answering our questions. We walked about 4 blocks (without crossing the street) to an excellent restaurant, Sunset Grille, a recommendation from the gentleman at the desk. Would definitely stay there again.

"Vacation "
This best western was very clean and quiet. The room was very spacious which was good as we were there for a few days. It is right across the road from the beach so easy access. Had a great pool, and good breakfast. Workers were very pleasant. Parking wasn't the greatest as we had a 12 ft trailer and had to park on the street.

Thank you for staying with us, we appreciate the valuable feedback. We hope to see you again the next time you'rein the area.
"Excellent location"
Stopped overnight on our way to visit friends in central Florida. We booked this hotel because of the location. We were not disappointed the view of the bay is stunning and it's a close walk to everything you want to see in old town Saint Augustine. The room was very basic but very very clean.

"Very good "
Should have been a 5 but our timing was off. The pool was being redone, didn't really matter since it was cool for swimming but the patio was closed so you couldn't enjoy the sun. The rooms have been recently renovated. Very tasteful decor, great colours and appointments. The staff was very friendly and beach access is a short walk.
Ali T, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for staying with us, Ken. We also really appreciate the feedback. Apologies for the pool closure, it was an emergency repair. Hopefully you can stay with us again the next time you're in the area.
"Terrific hotel, only a minute walk to the beach"
On our way from S. Florida to Atlanta, we decided to divide the drive by stopping in St. Augustine, and being in Florida, we HAD to stay on the beach. We chose Best Western because we are members of their loyalty program. The hotel was recently re-done, and the redo was excellent. Upon arrival, we were given a gift bag by the desk clerk, as appreciation for our loyalty. Our room was spacious and tastefully furnished. The free hot breakfast was a nice plus. There were several restaurants within walking distance. As we go to Atlanta often, this hotel just may become our permanent stopover.

"A real bright light after two bad stops in Florida"
We have never stayed in a better hotel ,motel for a base price of $85.00. The place has been totally updated with all New rooms and newly painted everywhere. The room were very clean as was all of the outside area. The deal were very helpful from the desk to the wonderful woman in the breakfast area. The breakfast was very good and clean and constantly refilled when something was out. It was a short drive to old town but I would stay here every time I was in the area. Beach across the street and one of the best restaurants we are at in our three day stay walking distance ( Sunset Grill) Stay here eat there.

Upgraded rooms in the middle of the St Augustine Beach activities at reasonable prices. Rooms have been remodeled and are very nice. Great choice for St A! Great dining nearby at the Sunset Inn and easy 10 min access to old town.

"Great location comfortable stay"
Very helpful front desk personnel and breakfast support staff. Room was right off the parking lot but quiet. Amenities were all in working order and the room was clean. Some curling of tiles in bathroom didn't look good and could be hazardous. Easy walking to beach and restaurants.

"Dog friendly"
Beautiful location with a view of the bay, beds were comfortable, desk clerk very friendly, short walk to the fort and right in the historic center. Extremely small bathroom, if you are a large person you will not be able to close the door if you use the toilet, seriously. Tired sticky floors, thin sheets, with a cost on a week nite for two with a small pup of 175.00, the internet price was 125.00 but you add up the taxes and the 25.00 dog fee and it quickly rises. No breakfast. Clean enough though and you can park right at your door. Two stories, we were on the second.
Ali T, Front Office Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Hello, we appreciate the review, but I think you were staying at the Best Western Bayfront. They are a pet friendly property in downtown St. Augustine, across the street from the Matanzas Bay and the fort. We are located near the beaches, about 5 miles from the historic district. Thanks again for making the effort to give feedback, it is much appreciated. Best regards, Jody Bass Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn.
"Awesome location. Quality. "
Normally when I visit St Augustine I try to stay in AirBnB so I can experience the city in a more connected kind of way. This time I sprung for a hotel, and was not disappointed. The rooms were very clean and service was great. I will stay here again. Great beachside location. Thank you to all the staff.

"Christmas Retreat"
We came for a break from the cold of the Northeast. My bride and I along with her brother had a wonderful stay. The staff was extremely helpful. We arrived very early and they were able to get us settled in our room well before check-in. All the staff seemed to go out of there way to make our stay pleasant. The room was fine and the location to downtown was convenient. While the pool wasn't heated the hot tub was fine even though they were having some issues with the jets. I would recommend staying there and we would stay again if in the area.

"Very good and affordable "
I went into this hotel thinking I was going to get a low quality budget hotel, how I was wrong! This was a very modern looking room, one can tell from first entering that renovations and updates were recently applied. The bathrooms were immaculate, the beds were comfortable and the entire layout of the room was very well thought out and put together. They also do serve a continental breakfast which was also fairly good in comparison with others, I left satisfied with their offerings. The staff is also very helpful and friendly. The only draw back is that some of the rooms have paper thin walls, so sound travels between rooms easily. To avoid this, ask the front desk to put you in a "quiet room", where the walls are thicker. I would definitely return here for future visits to St. Augustine and I highly recommend this hotel to others visiting the area.

"Excellent Option for Saint Augustine"
The hotel and staff are really great! The location is fantastic if you like the beach, there are many options to eat near and for sure in the historic district. If one of the cleanest hotels visited for me. The breakfast is good, a little crowdy because is a small area dedicated to this service, but the quality is really good

"Excellent Hotel!"
Great choice in St. Augustine beach area and close enough to the historic district. Friendly staff and the hote itself is newly updated. The comfort of the beds and the pillows was so good we decided to order the pillows when we left! Amazing breakfast and value for the money. Can't wait to go back!

"Low quality for the amount of money I paid"
When we arrived we had to wait for the room, they were “cleaning” it. The bathroom was dirty. The rug between the bed smelled horrible, we had to take it off so we could sleep. The room was really noisy. There was ants on the furniture. After 10 hours traveling and paying $200 I was expecting much more, at least a clean room.
"Overpriced"
Room was nice, but nothing special. Seemed to be recently updated inside. Working outside for rewiring. Breakfast was standard fare. AC worked fine. I am sure there are more affordable hotels in the area, especially during winter months when beach access is not desired.
"We Will Be Back!"
Rented a little room for a "staycation" (we live 30min away) for New Years Eve. Our check-in was quick, all rooms have a wonderful view of the bay, room was clean, surprised to find make-up removing wet wipes in the bathroom along with the typical shampoo/soaps/cream. As we checked out, we were handed a little brown bag with breakfast snacks and they had a pretty nice coffee machine with a nice selection of quick coffees. Although this is a pet friendly Inn, I did not hear any barking :)
"Love it!"
Great place near beach, center of town,great service. I would recommend place.. very clean and great costumer service.. the front deak was awesome and went beyond to help us. I will return here for our next trip .

"Worth it"
Inexpensive hotel with exceptional service, modern & clean rooms and located well for someone who wants to get both the historical town side and the beach side of St. Augustine. My husband and I were impressed and see ourselves staying there again.
"Great Value"
Recently remodeled though it seems not by a professional, still the appearance was nice. Toilets need to be replaced and bed was hard, not just firm. Linens were nice, flooring was nice and the bath decor was nice. The room was clean which is most important. Parking was directly in front of room door which was nice. The staff was great. Overall it was a nice place for $86 (AARP) and we will definitely stay there again.
"Nice stay"
We had a very quiet, very clean, spacious room in this completely up to date hotel. We really enjoyed having the spotlights for reading over our beds. The breakfast was copious and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
"Shore had a good time"
On our summer family vacation, we stayed at the Best Western St Augustine beach for 4 days. The location was ideal for us in exploring nearby historic St Augustine and in that it's just a five minute walk to the beach. Set back a bit from A1A in a mostly residential area, the two levels of exterior access rooms are mostly hidden behind a few palms. We stayed in a second floor room near the parking lot. The room was nice with hardwood floors, with a few tiny ants making some appearances. Yuk! The medium sized pool is near the front separated by a fence from the perfect lawn. Continental breakfast is served every morning in a small room near the lobby. The changing food selection was pleasing, but more small ants appearing on the breakfast bar was not. Yuk, again. Around the inn, there was always some sort of masonry repair or room re-modeling going on at one time or another. I suppose that's good to see improvements happening. As check out time was approaching, we were running behind. I requested an additional hour and that was no problem for them without any extra charge. Though the décor is fairly basic, the great service and beach location at Best Western St Augustine Beach contributed to us having a memorable experience.
"Great way to have spent Thanksgiving!"
What an awesome facility! Newly remodeled, very clean and quiet location, convenient access to the city. Tasty breakfast buffet daily, great presentation. A bit small of an area to eat but folks seemed to come and go so didn't notice anyone standing and waiting for an available seat. Just a great place to stay and would do so again in the future!
"Nice, clean hotel."
We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed it overall. The breakfast area is tiny and the pool is not heated, but overall, we enjoyed it. Our room was pretty dark as it overlooked the one area of the hotel that was dark - the hallway. My son fell in the parking lot and broke his arm and the staff were very kind - got us bags for ice, made sure he was ok, etc. I was overcharged, twice, however, because the person at the front desk had not been trained yet...so, that was frustrating. We would stay here again, however...just would bubble wrap our son and double check our statements before we leave to ensure all was ok with the balance due.
"Good location"
For the business I was conducting the hotel was in a excellent location it also allowed me to relax with a pool, hot tub and the beach close by and a variety of excellent and very friendly restaurants close to the hotel.
"St. Augustine, Best Western Bayfront"
Stayed at the Best Western Bayfront St. Augustine, Florida for a couple of days for a “girls” getaway. It is perfectly located, across the street from Matanzas River and the Castillo De San Marcos Fort and within walking distance to all the wonderful shops, taverns, and restaurants!!!
"St. Augustine Beach, FL"
Great location, nice facility. Brand new rooms and very comfy across the street and not far from St. Augustine downtown. Restaurants and bars next door. The rooms are nicely decorated and just remodeled. I would recommend this property to anyone coming to this area. Nice price great value.
"These people really care!"
We planned to stay a week, but was cut short when I suffered a mini-stroke on the 3rd day. The entire staff showed caring and compassion to me in the hospital and offering constant support to my wife to ease the difficulty. The hotel and room were clean and modern, offering a good value. Can't say enough good things about the staff.... they made you feel like family!
"Short Stay"
Made a quick stop in St Augustine on our way home to Richmond from Cocoa Beach. Have family and wanted to spend some time with them. This BW is right across from the beach and has recently been renovated. Very pleasant stay the staff was very attentive and helpful. The cleaning staff was on it and I even saw someone cleaning the outdoor knobs on the doors. Very pleasant especially for a quick stay. Will stay again.
"Great Stay just lacking at breakfast"
Saty was great and room was great. Would have gave Excellent Review but coffee maker took to long to make a cup of coffee and caused lines in small breakfast area. Also ran out of some items an hour before breakfast was over.
"Will definitely stay again"
This Best Western is very clean and appears newly renovated. I had no problems whatsoever during my stay and thoroughly enjoyed the amenities. I expected a good breakfast having stayed at other BW, but I can't rate the service and offerings highly enough! The staff was very helpful. The hotel is directly across the road from Saint Augustine Beach, just a two minute walk from the lobby. You can't beat the value for this location, plus the service and quality of hotel room.
"Best hot breakfast of any hotel"
We stayed at the Best Western Seaside this past weekend while visiting St. Augustine and everything was fantastic. Nice clean, modern room with all the amenities. (mini fridge, microwave, alarm clock with USB charger ports and built in outlets, WiFi, coffee, hair dryer, iron and board, etc.) Any of the staff we interacted with were super friendly, helpful and professional. Loved the fact that they had a hot, relaxing jacuzzi to get in at the end of a long day of walking all around St. Augustine. The complimentary hot breakfast in the mornings was the highlight though. Wow! In all my hotel travels I've never come across a better breakfast. Just everything you could possibly think of. Sausage and/or ham, eggs, skillet style potatoes, biscuits and gravy, Belgian waffle maker with your choice of toppings and syrups, including whipped cream; cereals, toast, muffins, granola, fruit, coffee machine offering up an assortment of flavors/styles of coffee, tea, fruit juice, etc.. They outdid themselves. And the location if superb, right across the street from 8th Street, which is one of only two entrances to St. Augustine beach. You can't beat it. This is the place to stay in St. Augustine if you're interested in a mid-level/mid price range beachside hotel with all the standard perks and a friendly and helpful staff. Would absolutely stay again if we were ever back in St. Augustine.
"Vacation"
Awesome staff, friendly, warm, helpful. Wonderful breakfast, starts at 6am and goes to 10. They offer waffles, fruit, eggs, sausages, various baked goods, coffee, juice, milk and cereal. Beach bus to and from old town. Nice pool and hot tub. Clean and modern decor. Very beautiful.
"Wedding "
We stayed here to relax before a family wedding. It was great! Friendly staff, clean rooms, good variety of breakfast items. We used the hot tub and it was warm enough for us both. It was quiet around the area, very relaxing! The beds were cushy and we slept too well, we didn't want to get up. Check out was at 11 but my husband wasn't feeling too good so I asked and they gave me a late check out until noon. I will definitely recommend this place!
"Forever our St. Augustine Home!"
My roommate and I are originally from Orlando, and had decided to take a very necessary getaway. We had decided on St. Augustine, and came across two Best Western locations, unknowingly booking the location outside of the historical area, landing instead in St. Augustine Beach. Although, our 'mistake' wound up being a blessing, because from beginning to end, this experience was outstanding: We arrived to the hotel at around 8:00(pm) and checked in. My roommate was very pleased by the front desk agent, Joanne: she was very sweet, and was eager to assist us in selecting a place for dinner. She offered us coupons to different locations within walking distance, and provided us with a little 'welcome' goody bag full of snacks to keep in our room during our stay. The hotel room was pleasantly modern in decor, and we were greeted by an adorable dog on the bed made from hand-towels. The double-queen room was incredibly spacious and provided multiple pillows on each bed. The beds are adequately comfortable, and allow for a pleasant night's sleep. The television offered full access to DirectTV, with the option of charging movies to the room and paying for them in the final bill from the stay. The hotel is fixed right off the main road that goes through St. Augustine Beach, and the beach itself is a two-minute walk across a residential road that connects to the parking lot of the backside of the hotel. The room is fully equipped with a microwave, a mini-fridge, reading lights above each bed, tons of drawer and counter space, and plenty of outlets for charging phones/devices. The bathroom is separated by a sliding frosted-glass door and provides plenty of lighting and a ventilation fan operated by a switch. The sink space offers more than enough counter space, and comes with a full-sized ironing board, an iron, seven wooden hangers, a complimentary blow-dryer, and a hotel-grade set of toiletries. A perk of this location is that it has a bench for the Old Town Trolley (which I *highly* recommend) directly out front. The front desk provides you with e-tickets, good for 3-days, and a complimentary shuttle picks you up and takes you into the historical district where you are transferred onto the actual trolley (a must for first time visitors!). The hotel also features a full service continental breakfast from 6-10:00(am), and offers snacks, water bottles, and a modern multi-option caffeinated drink/hot chocolate dispenser throughout the day. There is a little fridge that provides hard-boiled eggs, yogurt cups, fruit cups, and milk all day. The continental breakfast offers breakfast meats, such as bacon and sausage, waffle batter and a waffle iron, scrambled eggs, danishes, cinnamon buns, fruits, cereals, and other grab-and-go options during its service hours. The attendant for the breakfast was also endearingly polite and thoughtful, offering to help us with anything we needed. My roommate and I have agreed that this is now our home-away-from-home when in the St. Augustine area. We had attempted to upgrade to the Hampton Inn a few buildings down from this Best Western, but returned immediately after comparing it to our stay at this location and deciding that the upgrade was unnecessary-- this hotel offers exactly what you need for a pleasant getaway.
"Pleasant Hotel"
Very nice hotel, good room and furnishings. Comfortable bed, Breakfast good. Nice pool and hot tub. Very close to beach and local restaurants within walking distance. We had continual problems with TV, remote didn't seem to respond. Front desk replaced batteries in remote but response was still slow to change channels. We gave up in the end.
"Our hotel stay"
This hotel by far was the nicest we stayed in out of all the Best Western so far very modern very clean and the origami towel on the bed was very nice touch. The staff was very helpful courteous and respectful.
"Wow!"
This hotel is very well kept. The rooms have tasteful decor and still look brand new even though they were renovated a year ago. Excellent location just across the street from the beach, a short walk to all the St. Augustine beach restaurants, and a short drive to the historic downtown. All of the staff were very friendly. I cannot forget to mention their coffee machine...there are probably 10 different types of coffees to choose from-my fav was the cafe latte!
"Very nice hotel"
Just finished 4 nights here, room was like brand new, very clean, everything worked perfectly. Front desk was super nice, very helpful on local stuff. Nice pool, clean. Great location for beach, in town and restaurants
"Great hotel, excellent rooms and location"
First visit to the area, stayed 2 nights. Our main reason was for a concert. Loved the beach and the City of St Augustine. Hotel was modern, clean, staff very friendly and professional. Used the free shuttle bus linked with the Old Trolley Tours, great way to see the City.
"Best night sleep!"
Huge rave for this hotel! We had been working non stop through Hurricane Irma and stayed one night at this awesome little property. The rooms were immaculately clean which I know can be a challenge for beach hotels. All team members we encountered were eager to please and incredibly upbeat and positive despite the hurricane that had just passed through. Special thanks to the GM Sean, the FOM Debra and the entire housekeeping team for providing us a clean and quiet room which aided in the best night sleep after quite a stressful few days! Stay at this hotel- you won't regret it!

We always do the best we can with what we have, including working on clean up from hurricanes and try to keep a positive attitude no matter what. I will gladly relay your compliments to our whole staff in regards to your stay! I hope your hurricane clean up went off without a hitch and all is well. Come back soon!
"Great Place to Stay"
Great location, quality service, and excellent rooms! It is located across the street from the beach. Plenty of eating options nearby. We walked right over. The employees make you feel right at home. The room décor is beautiful. I definitely plan to stay here again.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Teresa H, We are so pleased you enjoyed the many great aspects of our hotel! We recently completed a full renovation and they did a great job! I know i love them and truly appreciate the hard work and detail they put into it. Our key position on the beach close to Salt Life, Mango Mangos and Sunset Grille and other great restaurants help our guests stay satisfied and not have to go far for a great meal. We can't wait for you to come back and visit!
"Great Experience"
It was a perfect location. We could walk across the street to the beach and walk to restaurants. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was just ok and the eating area was too small. The hotel staff were kind and helpful.

"A decent place to stay for a few days."
The remodeled rooms are lovely. The location is great. It's a short walk to the beach and a short drive to the old city of St Augustine. There is a beach bus that picks you up right outside the hotel to go to the old city if you prefer not to drive. Parking is tight but there was always a spot. The buffet breakfast was not very good. There was no fresh fruit, only fruit cups. We ate there one morning and out the rest of our visit. This was disappointing as I considered this hotel a good value with breakfast included and we had to eat breakfast out most days. The beds were hard as a rock. I could hardly sleep at all the first night we were there. I was able to sleep the next nights out of sheer exhaustion from sightseeing. The bathroom is lacking a towel bar. This was baffling to me since they went through a lot of trouble to do a really nice renovation but there is no place to hang a wet towel?

"Stay at St Augustine Beach"
Rooms were nicely remodeled the mattress was not very comfortable. the inside and outside of the hotel was clean. the food was ok at breakfast. (Eggs were terrible but boxed cereals juice and waffles were normally what to expect.

"Nice stay!"
The staff is wonderful! My only complaint was the bed. It could be more comfortable. Was a little hard. But room was clean, pool was great, breakfast was awesome! We enjoyed it being close to the beach. It was also nice to visit the old town.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Vacationer825, We are so pleased you enjoyed your vacation with us at the Best Western Beach Inn. It's hard to pass up a great breakfast and clean facilities while adventuring in the nation's oldest city. I am following up with housekeeping to see what aspects of the bed might of caused a uncomfortable sleep and if it should be swapped out. Thank you for your kind words and valuable feed back based on your stay. We always utilize our guests insights to better improve upon all our future guests stays. We appreciate you!
"Amazing staffing"
This place is very cozy and friendly. Amanzing place a block away from beach. Complementary breakfast was very delicious and if you are a coffee lover they had it all day long with flavors creams. Beds were clean and comfortable. Great place!

"Great location"
Great location for the $$. Easy beach access and close to downtown. Have stayed here many times and always enjoyed it. Front desk staff is awesome. Parking lot has another entrance now and makes parking easier.

Excellent service and facility. Right across from the beach. Staff was kind and helpful and always had a smile on their faces. The breakfast was hot and varied. Plenty of options to choose from. They had upgraded the rooms which were clean and modern.

"Great location"
The location was great. The front desk at check in and check out was great. The room was not always the cleanines even after housekeeping. Breakfast was average. Pool was always clean. No where to hang swimwear to dry in bathroom. Heard a very awful argument between housekeeping and maintenance; not professional.

"16 years & still improving"
My wife and I AWAYS loved this place. (Of course we did honeymooned there.) Best Western as done a fabulous job of remodeling and updating since 2001. In the last 2 years the place has really received a awesome face-lift. The grounds and building are clean and well kept. The rooms well laid out. All the wait-staff is friendly. Trixie with her smile and Jody with a wonderful knowledge of restaurants and attractions at the front desk. Always been a great place for us.

"Perfect!! "
I booked several rooms for my daughter's birthday. The front desk was wonderful in making sure we had adjoining rooms. They also gave us a coupon for dinner. The rooms have been perfectly updated and are very modern, spacious and clean. The location is perfect for the beach, but also convenient to historic downtown. Definitely would stay again!!

"Perfect location, decent accommodation!"
I have had my share of bad experiences at best western, but I had to chance it bc the location and price were exactly what I needed. I was delightfully not let down this time!! The room is exactly as pictured, clean crisp beachy vibe and literally across the street from the beach. Can't beat that package! The hotel staff was friendly and the breakfast was decent and convenient! We took a dip in the pool which is nice but the too many kids. Overall we would definitely stay here again!
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for the nice review. I am glad we were able to exceed your expectations, and that you had a great time while you were here. The pool does get a little busy during the summer months, but if you can make it back during the fall, it's a little slower and you'll have the pool and beach more to yourself. Thanks again for the kind words.
"Great place to stay"
I do enjoy when my accommodations meet my expectations, I was very pleased with the breakfast, not just toast and coffee, it had everything, you can enjoy your breakfast in the dining area or take a stray back to your room. Very clean the staff was very friendly, it had everything you would need. The room was very clean and modern. Will stay again.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

Clean rooms and friendly service is what we strive for with every guest, every time. See you next time you come to visit beautiful St. Augustine Beach.
"Great place"
We enjoyed our stay very much. Rooms had no carpet which was great since my husband has allergies. Not many hotels have that. Across the street from the beach. We would visit again. Parking spots were a little tight.

"get away"
My wife and I went to St Augustine for the 311 concert which was only 5 minutes from the property ,the property was excellent and 1 block from the beach,very clean modern and the service was great as well. would recommend this property to anyone and I cant wait to come back .....
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for staying with us and the great review. The St. Augustine Amphitheater is a great venue that attracts a lot of top acts. I am glad you had a good time and will be back with us again soon.
"Awesome!"
For family the hotel is in a good location, modern and clean room, friendly staff and good breakfast. Steps from the beach, definitely when we coming back to Saint Augustine , we will stay again and recommend to everyone.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for your review. I am delighted you had a great stay with us, and can't wait to see you again soon!!! Thanks for telling your friends about us.
"Will stay here again! Very close to beach!"
We stayed here for 3 days. Trixie at the front desk was very helpful. All of the staff in the check in/out area were super nice. The rooms were actually the ones pictured on the website and were very clean. The breakfast was good and when food got low, they were quick to refill it. I would definitely recommend this place for adults and people with children. Beach was across the street. Maybe a minute or two walk. If you want to find a good place to eat nearby, try the sunset grille.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you so much for your recent review. I am so glad you had a great time, and our staff took care of all your needs. A special thanks for mentioning Trixie. She is a great ambassador for our hotel
"Good deal for a quiet beach trip"
Visited recently with a rather large group (8 people) and this spot was perfect for us. The king suite we reserved was a great price, and could have fit all 8 of us in it, though we had already reserved two rooms. Everything was clean and the staff were very friendly. The hotel is directly across from the beach, and it's a pretty secluded stretch (at least, it felt like it-maybe it's just a small beach!) so we weren't too crowded despite how busy St. Augustine was last weekend. Will definitely try to come back and get the king suite again at the great price they offer!
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. I am delighted that our king suite was able to accommodate your party. It's great to hear that the staff took good care of you. I hope to see you again soon!!!
"Great Place to Stay"
We stayed here two nights while in St. Augustine. It is across the street from the beach, but has a handy access to the beach across the street. A very clean and nice hotel. Great beds. Office staff very helpful. Have beach towels to use if you need them. Free continental breakfast with hot food was very good. A handy place to stay to get to the city or other areas. Very much enjoyed our stay here. We stayed on first floor, don't believe they had an elevator, but not sure since we didn't need one.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for the great review!!! I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us, and I hope to see you again real soon.
"Great vacation visit"
We felt that this hotel was in a great location,close to beach and municipal pier and just a few minutes from downtown St. Augustine. The rooms were clean and the service was excellent. It had a good hot breakfast that was serviced by very helpful ladies. The front desk people were very helpful with all the questions we had. Trolley pickup in front of hotel made our day more productive . Overall I would recommend this hotel to all my friends

This place is amazing. Hotel staff very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to make our stay very nice. The rooms were very clean, we enjoyed the towel animals made daily during cleaning. Breakfast was a welcomed add bonus. Would defiantly recommend.

"Vacation"
Pros: Beach is right accross the street, restaurants and stores are within walking distance. Old St. Augustine is right over the bridge. Hotel has been recently renovated and breakfast is included. Cons: Parking is tight & trolley to Old Town only runs until 4:30pm.
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review

"Much better"
Love the updates they've made to their hotel rooms, but wish there was more carpeting near the beds. Bathrooms and pool are clean. Breakfast bar is good, but crowded in the mornings. Staff friendly and willing to help. We go back here every time.

"Sightseeing"
My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our drive back home from Hollywood FL. The city was beautifully decorated for Christmas at the time. St. Augustine is the oldest historic city in the U.S.with quaint Shoppes and restaurants.Guided trolley tours are offered of the city for a fee.The trolleys are not climate controlled( they are open,so it can get quite chilly during the winter months while riding them and hot during the summer.

Thanks for the 5 star rating and review spenn2015! I'm so pleased to read about your fantastic visit to our beautiful historic city! We hope you'll come back and stay with us again soon!
"Great location"
Great location walking distance to heart of St Augustine. Very friendly, courteous and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room with parking. There is a pool on premises and lots of stores nearby the facility.
"Very pleasant stay"
We enjoyed our 2 nights stay at the Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn. The hotel is newly renovated and very modern inside. Our room was very clean and bed/ pillows are comfortable. Microwave and refrigerator are a plus and added comfort to our stay. Breakfast was great with lots of variety, and a pleasant surprise was that cold bottled water was available the whole day in the breakfast area, as well as fresh fruits. It's a short walking distance to the beach. A free shuttle bus is available with the purchase of hop-on-hop-off trolley tickets (tickets are valid for 3 days). Also free parking at two designated spots in the St. Augustine are available if you decide to drive your car and then use the trolley. Publix is located 1.5 miles from the hotel, as well as many places to eat nearby. We didn't use the pool or a hot tub. Pool is very small and usually crowded. Area for improvement – designated spot needs to be added for washing sand off the feet after visiting the beach.

"Great beach-side hotel"
My mother and I have been very happy the last two times we have stayed at this hotel (previous to this visit, once in January 2017). We love the new renovations to the rooms and to the lobby. The staff has been very accommodating and helpful. The hotel manager, Jesse, is always helpful and friendly. The beach access has a nice boardwalk, so you do not have to climb over the dunes to get to the beach. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a quiet, restful vacation (whether solo, couples, or family).

"Quick Weekend"
Hotel parking is limited. Everything else is good. One block from beach, Ice cream parlor across street. Public beach with facilities and parking 3 blocks away. Not located near St.Augustine historic district. Quiet surroundings.

"Best Western St. Augustine Beach"
Beautiful,many activities,great directions, knowledgeable staff. Convenient to activities,attractions, restaurants. Convenient to other cities as well. Old and new places in St. Augusting are blended together.
"Surprised"
I was extremely blown away at how nice the rooms were. They have been completely redone and upgraded their look. It was very nice. The beds were comfy and the staff was great! I was given printouts and recommendations of places to go. Everything was close by too! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

"Great value close to the beach!"
4 women went on a 4 night trip to the beach. The rooms look like the pictures and have recently been remodeled. Very nice sized rooms and big bathrooms! We had two adjoining rooms with two double Queen beds in each. Free breakfast each morning with lots of options. Pool area is a little small for the summer months but we still enjoyed having a pool. Two of the nights we were able to secure a table to play cards and order pizza by the pool. This motel is very convenient to beach access. There is a fairly large fridge in e room and a microwave that we didn't use.

Thanks so much for such a great review! I'm glad to hear how satisfied you were with our two bedroom suite which has two separate bedrooms, full size kitchen, and living room! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Come back and see us again soon!
"Awesome Location Awesome Staff!"
This is by far the best hotel in the area. Great location and wonderful staff. Ask for Jesse (manager) if you have any questions or concerns. He's wonderful. The entire staff is. The recent remodel to the rooms was very attractive. At night is wonderfully quiet.

"Great staff, updated rooms, but disappointed"
Pros: Staff was kind, courteous, and very helpful. Rooms were updated and clean Easy walk to the beach Cons: Not on the beach as lead to believe. A/C did not work properly, we could not leave the bathroom door open as the room would get too hot. Pillows were very small. Rooms somewhat small Dining area for breakfast not sufficient for the number of guests, I would suggest expanding and installing at least two additional waffle irons. Hot Tub not functioning
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for writing a review of our hotel. I am glad our staff took great care of you, and you enjoyed your room. I am sorry you were lead to believe that we were on the beach. We try to make it very clear when speaking to guests, that we are not oceanfront, as to avoid the disappointment you experienced once you arrived. Please come back and see us again the next time you visit our beautiful area.
"Weekend Getaway"
The hotel is clean, beds were comfortable and nicely located near the St Augustine Ampitheater and beaches. It is ACROSS from the beach, but crossing was not much of a problem. It is a bit overpriced, but otherwise no complaints. The staff was friendly.
"Vacation hotel"
Nice hotel I did not see any insects during my stay. Staff was really helpful and polite,room had enough towels and extra sheets, if needed, pool, parking lot, hot breakfast , fast supplying the kitchen area.
"Highly Recommend"
Hotel was excellent would highly recommend to anyone. It wasn't right on the beach but you can be then within minutes. Restaurants are close by which was great we walked everywhere. The hotel was clean and all the staff was very helpful.
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for such a GREAT recommendation and rating! We're glad that you enjoyed our convenient location just right across the street from the beach - about a minute walk, the great dining that is located within walking distance, our clean and updated guest rooms, and lastly our fantastic staff! We hope you'll come back and see us again soon!
"Noisy and not on the beach"
We were told by BW that the hotel is on the beach. It is not. It is across a very busy street which would be terrible to cross with young children. The walls are too thin. We could hear every word spoken by the family in the next room. That was NOT relaxing. There are no carpets on the floor. The decor is spartan at best. The outside of the building is okay, but there was not ample parking. I would NOT stay here again.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. I would like to apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay with us. I am also sorry you were lead to believe that we were directly on the beach. The beach access is directly across a two lane road(a1a) at the end of 9th st from our property. Thanks again for your review. Sincerely, Bob Kenyon General Manager
"Ahhhhhh"
Superb bed and pillows. Love the back lit bathroom mirror. Light and bright, not like typical hotels. Everything worked fine. Front desk extremely helpful with a pool issue. Breakfast delicious! I'm still dreaming of their pancakes. Super location across the street from beach access.
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for such a great rating and review! We're glad that you enjoyed your stay so much and we're looking forward to your next visit!
"Pleasantly suprised!"
We were looking for a nice place to stay near the beach. This had the best reviews on priceline, so we took a chance and booked it. Staff was wonderful, they even offered a late check out. The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. We didnt get a chance to use the pool or jacuzzi due to the non stop rain that weekend, but it looked inviting. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
I'm so glad to hear of your experience at our hotel george1770! Thanks for the great review and rating. We're glad that you took a chance on us and we were able to show you why we are so well regarded in ratings and reviews! Come back soon too enjoy our recently updated guestrooms and superior staff!
"Very pleased. Excellent for the money!"
We only stayed one night but will seriously consider staying there should we decide to visit St. Augustine again. I was concerned it was too far from town but I loved that it was closer to the beach than it was to town. It wasn't far from town at all and much quieter. The room was very nice, the bed was very comfortable and the most important thing, the room was spotless. Don't know what the rooms looked like before the remodel but we thought they did an excellent job. Very inviting. The breakfast was okay. Nothing really special but I didn't leave hungry so that's not a complaint. The only issue we had was no internet. Since we were there for only one night it wasn't really a problem, we had our phones so we didn't bother to find out why. I completed a survey sent to us by BW and mentioned the internet issue and the next day I received an email from Jesse the Assistant General Manager apologizing and explaining the reason for the outage. I was impressed that someone actually took the time to read the responses as well as providing an explanation for the outage. To me, it shows they care about their guests. All of the employees that we came in contact with were friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman at the front desk that checked us in as well as the girl that checked us out. The entire experience made me happy that I chose this motel. I highly recommend this motel if you're looking for somewhere quiet, comfortable and affordable.
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for taking the time to write us such a great review! We are so pleased that we were able to provide a superior guest experience for you during your visit. I will be sure to share this great review with our entire staff. Thanks again, and come back and see us soon!
"Not bad, just not sure I would return"
It's better than average but not quite very good but I gave it a 4 based on the price we paid for the room, the friendly service at the front desk and the location. The room was nicely decorated and there was plenty of space but the air conditioning unit leaves a lot to be desired. (Noisy and seemed to have a mind of it's own.) The housekeeping was a little hit and miss, one day we returned to a pile of towels just dumped on the bed and nothing else had been done but the next day, a little towel art. Breakfast was perfectly acceptable, not a vast choice but this suited me, it stopped me overloading my plate as usual and leaving the breakfast room with a bulging belly! Bowl of cereal and a fresh orange and I was good to go. The waffle maker is a nice addition too. I would probably try another hotel in the area on returning to St Augustine but if this was the only option I might consider booking again.
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback and a review! We really appreciate the kind words in spite of the issues you encountered during your stay with the air conditioning unit and the mixed experiences you had with housekeeping. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your recent stay. I truly hope you will return to stay with us the next time you are in the area so we can provide the unparalleled guest experience that I know we can.
"Great hotel!"
Clean, updated and a great staff. Across the street from the beach with an Old City shuttle bus stop directly in front of the hotel. Breakfast was great. Parking wasn't bad like other folks commented and wide enough spaces to minimize door dings. The hotel doesn't have a bar or restaurant, but plenty of both easily within walking distance. Unless you're a complete snob, you won't be disappointed!
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the great rating and review Chris K! I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, complimentary breakfast, free parking, and an old town trolley tour bus stop directly in front of our hotel! We can't thank you enough and we hope to see you again soon!
"Vacation"
We spent 3 nights here. The room was awesome. Clean, beautiful decor. The check in process was easy. Our host/clerk Jody was friendly and helpful. It is a very short walk to a beautiful beach. We will definitely stay here again.

We can't wait to see you next time! Thanks again!
"Don't stay here"
Do not stay here, room infested with ants. Rundown hotel in the middle of upgrades which are cheap upgrades. Staff friendly but there are other hotels worth the price difference if your staying in st auggie beach

"Discovering St Augustine"
Great location, close to everything. The hotel was very clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The short ride to the historic center was well worth it, very beautiful and old. Walking around was so much fun.

"Weekend Getaway"
Out of the four hotels I have stayed at in St. Augustine, I believe this hotel gives you the greatest bang for the buck. You are right across the street from the beach and still close to the downtown. Many restaurants to choose form in the area without having to go back over the Bridge of Lions and fighting for a parking spot in Old Town.
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks so much for such a great review Cheryl! We really appreciate you taking the time to provide such a great review.

We hope you'll come back and see us again soon! Thanks.
"clean, central, take guests for granted"
We stayed the night here on our way home from a road trip. We hadn't planned staying here, we had visited St Augustine years ago and found it to be underwhelming an tacky. Have to say that we enjoyed our second time around much better. The hotel we chose was central and clean, nicely appointed. What got me here was the attitude of the front desk, they just "know" they're going to get stragglers who are in need of a room and the attitude shows it. All in all not bad, they need to work on the smugness of the front desk staff, price accordingly to their brand status and all would be well.
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our property. I am glad you had a great time with us, but I am concerned with the impression you have of our front desk team. I want to assure you that all of our staff is committed to delivering a great guest experience for each and every guest that stays with us. I am truly sorry you were not treated as well as you should have. The next time you are in the area please call me directly at the hotel, and give us one more chance to exceed your expectations. Thanks again for the review. Sincerely, Bob Kenyon General Manager
"Excellent renovation, excellent customer service, perfect for a week getaway to the beach!"
Such a beautiful renovation done here! From the outside to the inside, very very clean, very presentable, very "beachy" which was awesome. Overall, extremely impressed. The staff here go above and beyond to exceed your expectations and make your stay the best possible. The only complaint, Try not to get an "accessible room" as the showers in the room leak all over the floor every time you shower and makes for quite the mess when you're taking so many shower after the beach and the pool(which was impeccable and little paradise area).
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the AMAZING review and rating Tyler! We really appreciate your kind words about our recently updated guest rooms! I will personally be looking into the shower issue you described, so we can prevent that from happening to any future guests but I'm so pleased to hear about your great stay and we hope you'll come back and see us all again soon!
"First stay in St Augustine "
The rooms were very updated, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was nothing to write home about and the parking terrible. If hotel is full and you come in late after dinner, good luck finding a spot. Almost impossible to turn around after you discover there's no parking. No hotel exit in back. If these two things were improved, would be a lot more enjoyable and a great hotel.
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the kind review and rating! We appreciate the great compliments about our property! Parking can be tight on weekend days, from time to time but you'll be glad to hear that we are adding an exit to the back parking lot, so we hope you'll come back and see us again soon! Thanks!
"Room was nice"
I think they were in such a hurry to renovate they did a poor job. Our grab bar in the shower was loose (reported it). They didn't refill the breakfast area. We got there at 8 am and it was out of items.
Jesse M, Guest Relations Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I am sorry we were out of items when you joined us for breakfast. We constantly restock items throughout the morning until breakfast ends at 10:00 am. You must have caught us on an extremely busy morning. Thanks again for your review, and we hope to see you again on your next visit to our beautiful city.
"nice deal"
This is a really good place:staff are very kind and helpful,not rushed or perfunctory. The rooms are good too,what you'd expect . But you are a two minute walk to the Ocean park. That's the selling point if you come here with kids.
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the great review and rating Jamesg! We greatly appreciate your compliments regarding our staff! I will be sure to pass this around to let the staff see, as they will all be very excited to read this. Thanks for the kind words about our recent renovations and our incredibly convenient location just moments walk away from the beach. Come back and see us again soon!
"Very nice hotel"
We enjoyed our stay at the BW in St. Augustine, they have everything you need and the hotel is very close to the beach. parking is a bit of a challenge, the parking lot is not user friendly especially if you park in the back by the pool. There is only one way in and out, that lot gets full quickly and it is difficult to turn around.
Jesse M, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the great rating and review! We're glad to see you enjoyed your recent stay with us -- from the convenient location near the beach and just minutes away from the historic part of the city! Parking can be a little tight on certain nights when we're at capacity. We're glad that in spite of the tight parking, you still had a great overall experience. Come back and see us again soon!
"A much too brief oasis on our travels."
We were travelling to Florida from Ontario and we only had a few days to get there. We treated ourselves to not only a beach day (excellent beach btw) but a nice hotel close with pool. Our room was modern, clean, king bed, excellent sleep here. I would go back in a heartbeat and enjoy more nights here!
Bob K, Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such a great rating and review! I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed our incredibly convenient location, and our recently renovated guest rooms. Come back and see us again!

"Great Hotel"
We loved the decor, and the bed was very comfortable. We will definitely stay again. Close to the beach and within walking distance of a number of restaurants. The staff was helpful and the internet service was fast and reliable.

"Way to expensive"
Would rather stay at a hole in the wall than this expensive crap hole. Cops constantly at hotel. Small parking lot and horrible breakfast . Please search other hotels first so you are not disappointed like we were
Bob K, General Manager at Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay with us. On Saturday afternoon we had a family that needed help with our local enforcement. The unfortunate situation lasted for 2 hours, and was over by 4:00 pm. Although the hotel had no control over the situation, we did try to minimize guest impact, and we do apologize if it affected your stay.
"Awesome"
From the minute we stepped in the front door until we left our stay was terrific. The staff were more like our friends. We had free breakfast, free internet and discounted trolley tickets. The tolley picked us up at the hotel and we did sight seeing all day without driving.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
I can't thank you enough for such a great review. I will be sure to share your review with our entire staff as we all work very hard to provide this type of customer experience every time, to every guest. We're glad you enjoyed our free amenities such as our complimentary hot breakfast and free WiFI and parking! I'm glad to hear about this and hope you'll come and see us again next time you're visiting the Oldest City!
"WELCOMING STAFF !"
The location is an easy drive to downtown, but the best part is that you're one block to a peaceful stretch of ocean and in a quiet neighborhood, with a pool and hot tub! The rooms are clean, and the included breakfast is fresh and very good. The downtown trolley pickup is right outside, encase you don't want to fight the traffic and parking.. Ohh ! The rooms have coffee pots, refrigerators and microwaves !!
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for taking the time to write a great review for us! We're glad that enjoyed our updated guest rooms, convenient location, complimentary locations and more! I will be sure to share your feedback with our staff as they will be excited to hear such great praise! Come back and see us again soon!
"Fabulous Stay!"
I work in a hotel myself, so in reading all of the reviews for hotels in St. Augustine Beach, I chose the Best Western. Beginning with our check in with Trixie and Jesse untit our check out with Trixie, I can't tell you how much we loved the hotel. The rooms are spotless, the staff is so accommodating and just the overall atmosphere of the hotel is fabulous. And housekeeping - just perfect every day (4 night stay). Even tho we try to visit a different destination every year, we are seriously considering going back to St. Augustine next year, and the main reason would be to stay at the Best Western Inn. Thank you all for a fun and relaxing vacation!!
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you for such a outstanding review! Trixie and myself are both thrilled that we were able to create this type of experience for you during the duration of your stay and can't wait to see you again next year! I'm glad that you enjoyed our recently updated guest rooms and I will certainly be sure to tell the housekeepers about the great experience you had as well! We truly do hope you'll come back next year to stay with us!
"Great renovated rooms"
First time staying here and was very impressed. Recently renovated, great tile floors, furnishings and especially the bath. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again. Very easy access to beach. Trolley pickup to go downtown. They even let us leave our vehicle while we toured downtown after checkout.
Bob K, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
We are so pleased that you decided to give us a chance and stay with us for the first time! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our recently updated guestrooms including the hard faux wood flooring and modern appointments throughout including the bathrooms. We appreciate such a great recommendation and can't wait until you come back and see us next time!
"Great visit at Best Western"
This was a great place to stay away from the crowds and in walking distance to the beach. My sister and I came to town to photograph nesting birds at the Rookery at Alligator Farm.We had a wonderful visit with friendly personnel. We will be back just like the snowbirds.
Bob K, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed some of St. Augustine's great attractions and that while you were staying with us, you enjoyed our convenient location and our friendly staff! We can't wait to see you again next time!
"Very clean and friendly"
My wife and I stayed at the Best Western St. Augustine Beach Inn from March 25 to April 3, 2017. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. The hotel is also very clean and well maintained. It is located just across the road from a beautiful beach. There was an issue about the booking, but the manager looked after our concern in a very professional way and the issue was resolved to our satisfaction. Ruth and Ernst Friedel, Canada
"Cozy bay view"
From the time we walked in to the front office the staff was attentive to all of our needs had a great time the GM greeted us and gave us their suggestions which was very good I can't say anything more very positive and pleasant experience thank you Trey for helping us have a wonderful couple days of rest this is a great five-star hotel
"1 block from beach with drive to town"
Hotel was nice, rooms are a bit smaller, but clean and updated. Our room was not facing construction area so it was quiet (until a car alarm woke us at 7am). Breakfast was fine in a very crowded space but there was enough variety for a hotel breakfast.
"Good location to stay!"
Great place to stay on A1A. Close to the beach, walking distance to restaurants, and the trolley picks up from this hotel. They have free breakfast each morning (waffles, eggs, sausage, cereal, muffins, fruit, etc). Staff is very friendly and nice.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a generous review of our property. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed our incredibly ideal location to visit St. Augustine, from our close proximity to the beach and several great restaurants to the Old Town Trolley stop located DIRECTLY in front of our hotel. I'll be sure to pass along your compliments regaurding our staff as we strive to provide a superior experience for all of our guests. Our complimentary hot breakfast is also great amenity, so we hope you'll come back soon and check out our new options!
"Room very tired and smelled musty"
Guess we shouldn't have stayed but it was only one night and we didn't want to go to the trouble. They need to renovate and deep clean this hotel and furnishings and get rid of the musty smell. Breakfast had variety but eggs appeared powdered and bacon was wallowing in grease. They are building a road next to it so construction started very early. Many other nicer hotels on this road.
"Great hotel in St. Augustine FL"
We recently stayed at the Best Western St Augustine Beach Inn. Great hotel with wonderful staff. The breakfast was amazing, lots of choices, always fresh and served from 6 to 10 everyday. Housekeeping did a great job every day, sweeping up the sand we tracked in and thoroughly cleaning our room. Front desk staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. They had good knowledge of the area and were patient when we asked questions. Always very pleasant to deal with. Excellent hotel and a great value.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! I'm very pleased to hear that our front desk staff and housekeeping staff went above and beyond in providing you an superior stay with us. I'm also glad that you enjoyed our complimentary breakfast complete with hot items! We really hope that you'll come back and stay with us again soon! Thanks!
"Great but short stay"
We stayed at this Best Western for one night on our way to Orlando. WE started our trip a day earlier then planned. When calling this hotel, I was glad they had a couple of rooms left and a decent rate. This hotel was great. The room was clean and I was informed that it was remodeled about 6 months ago. The hotel is in a good location, right across from the beach. The front desk staff were very friendly when checking in. My kids enjoyed the pool even though it was about 60 degrees out. The complimentary breakfast had a good selection with waffles, cereal, eggs, sausage. This was our first time in St. Augustine, and I know not our last. I would definitely like to stay at this Best Western again for a bit longer.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for the great review! We are so pleased that you had a great stay! We appreciate the kind words about our front desk staff, our complimentary breakfast, and our very convenient location. We really hope you'll come back and see us again soon.
"Nice stay"
My daughter lives in Saint Augustine and I was visiting. She rents a room, she's a Flagler student. We wanted to be near the beach. This was a great central place for us to be near sites, restaurants and shopping.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN St. Augustine Beach Inn, responded to this review
Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. Come back and see us again soon!
"Excellent stay at this hotel"
We loved staying here for two nights. The rooms looked newly remodeled. Very clean and nicely decorated. The front desk staff was very helpful and the breakfast was very good, hot breakfast choices and a really good variety. The pool was freezing even though it was 80 degrees out. The hot tub had a lot of debris and wasn't hot. Those two things were the only reasons I didn't give it a 5 rating. I would highly recommend this hotel. Great location.

"Good stay!"
We stayed at this hotel for 5 nights over Thanksgiving when we were visiting relatives. By booking this hotel a long time in advance and using the AARP discount, I got a good rate. Checking back later the rate had gone up a lot. The room was large, with two queen beds, an easy chair with a footstool, a desk and chair, a flat-screen TV, a mini-fridge and a microwave. There was a combination shower-tub. The beds were comfortable and there was good wifi service. There was a good breakfast—both hot and cold items. We asked for a quiet room and were placed on the second floor at the rear of the building. No problems or complaints at all.
"Sunshine"
I try to stay exclusively at Best Western when I travel. Loved, loved, loved this one. Modern, CLEAN and quiet and a block from ocean. No cleaning crew early in morning. It was like walking into a first class cabin on a ship. Everyone and everything about this hotel was first class.
"Sightseeing trip to St Augustine"
Great beach location. Staff was friendly and check in very easy. Room was decorated professionally and very comfortable. Entire stay was great! Breakfast was not very good however, but not horrible. Otherwise, would definitely stay again and enjoyed ourselves in St Augustine immensely!
"Beautiful renovations, felt like a new hotel"
My recent stay at this hotel was flawless! I was first impressed by the desk manager, Jesse. He was so friendly and helpful by offering information about the area to help us get the most out of our short stay in St. Augustine. We were all impressed by the room. The new renovations are so fresh and modern! The bathroom especially was clean and perfect. The breakfast was very good. The fruits were fresh, bacon & eggs looked good too. I made myself a waffle dark & crispy. It was great! I want to thank the desk staff for helping me with a problem I had. I left two of my shirts hanging in the clothes rack. When I realized it after I got home, they offered to mail it to me! I appreciate this so much. I enjoyed my visit to St. Augustine & plan to return for a longer visit. When I do, I will stay at this Best Western without a doubt.

"Ok Hotel Good Value"
The Staff were amazing, They went out of there way to make sure we had everything we needed. I used there dryer to dry my clothes and it blew a fuse and they dried my clothes for free,they gave me a printed copy of direction to Orlando airport, The night manager gave us a wake up call & brought us up fresh coffee and carried our luggage to our car for us. The stay was very nice,the rooms are nothing special and didn't come with a Bible, But the Great service maid up for everything else. You also can walk across the street to the Beach

"nice property"
This BW has a friendly staff, the place is very well maintained and has a very attractive appearance both outdoors and indoors. They serve a nice breakfast and the people taking care of the food kept the place orderly and clean. I definitely recommend this facility.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Thank you very much for the fantastic review and recommendation! We greatly appreciate your feedback and we hope to see you again soon.
"Great value!"
Having just spent time in a dreadful inn down in Vero beach, this motel was a most pleasant surprise. Totally renovated room, free parking at your door, excellent breakfast and a really low price, what is not to like. Would highly recommend this spot, of all the places we stated in the USA, this was by far the best value.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
We're pleased that you enjoyed your recent stay with us and are very grateful for such kind words and the recommendation! We hope you'll be back to see us again soon.
"Fine place near the beach"
The rooms have obviously recently been remodeled and are quite nice. But there was an ocean smell that was relieved by fragrance spray. I wouldn't let this put you off. The price of the room was more than reasonable, just pack some spray. I would have ranked this hotel with 4 stars but there was a hot water issue. I reported it to the front desk but I went a day and a half with lukewarm water. Nice breakfast area. Nice pool area.
Jesse M, Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for the issue you had with your hot water during your recent stay with us. We have since repaired the issue that was causing that particular room to have the problem. We greatly appreciate both positive and constructive criticism as it lets us know where we need improvement the most. We hope you'll come back and see us next time you're in town.
"Best Staff, Great Room and Close to the Beach"
Our family of four stayed 2 nights. The staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and pleasant to interact with. The rooms were as nice as the resort we stayed in at Universal and incredibly clean. Would absolutely recommend to family and friends!
"Clean, Comfortable, and Close To The Beach"
My wife and I booked three nights and were very pleased with our accomodations. Breakfast is included. We had a room with two queen beds. The room was either new or recently renovated. We had a very nice spacious bathroom. There were enough plugs for our phones, laptop, iPad, etc. There is a pool and hot tub. A road to the beach is diagonally across the street. It is about a 5 minute walk. There are several restaurants that are not far by car. We would go back again, if we were in St.Augustine Beach. Parking is a little tight.
"Modern room and great breakfast"
Stayed one Saturday night. Great customer service in Lobby and room had a modern and attractive remodel. Easy 1/2 block walk to beach. Great breakfast and would stay again. Parking is tight due to a small footprint but beach property is like that.
"Newly renovated "
I've stayed here over the years just to get away and be at the beach. This trip I was totally surprised that the rooms and hotel have gone thru great upgrades. Rooms are very modern, tile floors thru-out, beautifully decorated. Pool is open til 10 at night, including hot tub. Continental breakfast great to get your day started. Just a short walk across the street, with access to the beach. Not far from the pier area. Will continue to make this my getaway!
"Beautiful rooms, friendly staff"
Spirit of the moment get away, had stayed here before, rooms have totally been remodeled. Comfortable, modern, clean ....just a wonderful place to stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Even offered several recommendations for dining.
"Family Beach Trip"
Planned a weekend trip to the beach with my brother and his family. The hotel let us check in a little early and we changed into our beach clothes and walked one block to the beach. Hotel staff were very nice, the hotel was pretty clean and the rooms were just alright. Free breakfast the next morning was in a tight space and the food was average. It is within walking distance of some restaurants and bars.
"Awesome hotel -close to beach"
the hotel is updated with great style- the staff is wonderful- the 1 bedroom suite is fabulous! The breakfast was very good! It was right across the street from beach - 2 minute walk! Kristina and Jesse are awesome! I had family come from Mass and KY and they all loved it!
"Photos differ from experience"
Room was very humid, enough that the A/C couldn't get the humidity out, semi disappointed at that. Breakfast we were greeted with friendly staff but almost like vultures in a small area with only minimal food out. We opted for milk and cereal and ate in our room. TV was outdated and the channels didn't come in great. The decent part is the distance to the beach and the price compared to other hotels in the area. We were able to stay for a couple days and let our son visit the beach. We wouldn't return if we had a chance, we would pick another place to stay.
"Great Romantic Place for Our Honeymoon"
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We had booked a king room but were upgraded to a suite. Both of us were blown away by its size. The decor was beautiful. The staff was warm, friendly and helpful. It was very clean and I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will stay there again in the future.
"Help during Matthew"
Hotel clean, safe, good internet, good breakfast. Across the street from the beach, hotel was as described. Matthew caused us to have to leave early, hotel staff told us when we needed to leave, make reservations to ensure a room in FL.
"Great get away...."
I will come back to the Best western Seaside Inn and suites.. It was clean, up graded, bathroom very clean and pretty. Pool area clean. The grounds were clean and well kept. The front staff friendly and helpful.
"Modern Hotel"
Booked for 1 night on a Sunday as we could not get in on the Saturday...stayed in a hotel down the road and could not wait to leave. Upon entering the Best Western we fell in love with it. Very clean, modern and beautifully decorated. Lovely room, bathroom and pool and the staff were very accommodating. A few mins walk to the lovely beach. Would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return if i was to come back to St.Augustines.
"GREAT hotel and staff"
They say the third time's the charm and when looking for a place to stay here that was exactly the way it was. After nothing but problems from the Super 8 hotel down the street, and then being told that even if I pay cash, they'd charge my credit card anyway at the Courtyard by Marriott, I ventured a little further to the Best Western Seaside. Melissa at the front desk has to be one of the best I've dealt with at any hotel. She was courteous and very professional. She checked me in with no problems, adjusted my room rate for AARP, and her caring attitude was the best as she heard I had just put my mother in a Hospice care facility. She offered NO hassle regarding my service dog, and I was put in a spotless and nice size king room. After a restful night sleep, the breakfast offered was just fine. Cheese omelets, cereals, breakfast meats, waffles and more. I had planned on leaving town after being with my mother, however circumstances had me returning once again to the Best Western. Melissa was there again to take my call asking for another night's stay, and had everything ready when I got back to the hotel. It was another nice, restful night, and very quiet. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that wants to be treated correctly, with respect and by professional staff. The morning front desk clerk was the same. Thank you to all of the staff for making a tough return home situation a little easier by providing some of the best service I've dealt with in my travels.
"Pretty good"
Nice hotel, very modern good breakfast and nice pool. Was almost a 1 mile walk to the ocean unfortunately. Not to bad but not ocean front. Nice hotel for a good price. Staff was a little rude but tolerable.
"Great Location"
The hotel is across the street from the beach access which was not crowded. The stop for the local tour shuttle is in front of the hotel. The hotel is within walking distance of several local restaurants. The breakfast was great. Staff was helpful. The rooms had just been remodeled when we were there. Lots of parking. Safe location.
"A really nice place to stay!"
Hotel was right across the Rd from the beach. It had a Modern Beach flare. Pier is really close and nice outdoor area for Volleyball. The Pool and hot tub made you feel secluded(Nice). Free Breakfast was the BEST we have had at any BW. Loved the towel art. Loved our stay
"PLEASED"
The room was very clean the staff very professional. close to the shops and beach. the pool was nice . the outside was well maintained. close to the attractions in the area . well worth the stay. also family friendly . would and will stay here in the future.
"Tropical Storms"
We were fortunate the tropical storm was not bad. Our stay was excellent, the breakfast was great, and the staff was terrific. It's a very short walk to the beautiful beach. I didn't give the hotel a five star because the cigarette receptacle was in front of our room and it smelled.
"SPRING Break with friends"
This hotel was freshly re-modeled..the manager name was debbie and she was super friendly and helpful..the water went out for a couple hours..but she made sure we were kept informed and gave us bottle water..the jakuzzee was broken but after we told the Manager and within an hour some came out to fix it..the breakfast was great..bacon and eggs with lots of fresh choices of fruits and pancakes machine ..we loved our stay. It was across the street from the beach and we enjoyed the beach ..it was convent to hang out at beach..loved the hospitality and was close to lots of restraunts...the room had new beds and our bed broke..the manager came right away and fixed the bed..née dressers and beds..freshly painted room..it was nice room
"Pretty Atmosphere"
Overall it was a nice stay. The hot tub had too many chemicals in it and bleached my suit. Also, the hot water took a while to come on. The atmosphere was beautiful and the location was perfect. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
"Needs serious cleaning."
The beds and breakfast were fine, but this hotel is not clean. Bathroom, grout, crack and crevices, toilet area tile where all dirty. Hotel also feels old and muggy. I like Hamton Inn, so didn't like having to report badly about them.....
, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
I am sorry that you had a bad stay while in St. Augustine. However we are not a Hampton Inn. I am not certain that you commented on the right hotel. If it was this hotel I am sorry for the issues and would love to hear from you directly to rectify the situation.
"Best Hotel Experience Ever"
We do a fair amount of traveling, and this hotel, is by far, the best experience we have ever had. The staff, in particular Melissa, was exceptional. Every single staff member sincerely greets you with a smile and willingness to go out of their way to assist your needs. We loved everything about this hotel.. location, rooms, breakfast, and pool (which we used a lot with our 12 person group). We would certainly recommend this hotel!
"Nice place"
This was our first visit to this property. We arrived on a Saturday and it was fully booked which made parking difficult. But the rest of the week was fine. The rooms are light in aqua and gray with laminate flooring. Much more pleasant than the dark decor of some places. The rooms are average size equipped with a large bathroom and also a fridge and microwave. The beds were very comfortable. Their breakfast was good with a lot to choose from including hot eggs, sausage and a waffle maker in addition to the normal muffins, cereal, fruit and so forth. It was located on a corner and was only a block away from the beach. It has a small pool. All the staff were great. This is a good choice for a beach trip.
"I recommend this hôtel "
We stayed two nights in this hôtel, choosen by our travel agency. We were in thé beautifull and spacy parental suite. The confort was very good. Employees are great and the hôtel is nice and clean. We have been able to wash our clothes. They also propose à nice breakfast. I recommend this hôtel and hope to come back in a futur trip.
"Clean rooms"
Really impressed with the cleanliness of the rooms. Every day the rooms where spotless with plenty of clean towels and sheets. I really likes the location, it was close to some great restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The staff was very accommodating to all of our needs. The breakfast was above expectations also. Bacon eggs and bagels.
"Extremely accommodating! "
This hotel provided wonderful service to our family. We traveled with 12 people (3 families.) Each family was very pleased with the front desk staff, breakfast staff and housekeeping, as they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. -Nice breakfast -Short walk to the beach -Pool hours 9:00-10:00 -Quiet hotel We look forward to a return stay!
"Happy in St Augustine"
The hotel's proximity to beach and old St Augustine was a definite positive feature. That combined with the outstanding decor and comfort of the room were the recipe for a pleasant stay. I would instantly recommend this Best Western property to others.
"San Augustine Vacations"
I recommend Best Western, affordable price, sea side location, excellent! Breakfast. The personnel was always there to help and whole facility was good. The rooms are not too big, but they comfortable and clean.
"Don't accept a road-front room!"
This compact hotel is fine - the rooms are clean & modern, the staff are friendly, and the location is good for the beach, though it's smaller than the pictures suggest. BUT the pool is tiny and overlooks the road (so it's noisy and not very relaxing) and the 8-10 rooms at the front suffer badly from road noise and an array of noisy a/c outlets outside. The rooms further back are probably much better, particularly on the upper floor.
"A good value"
Many good points, well done breakfast with sufficient seating, clean rooms with friendly staff, reasonable beach access (cross A1A then about 1/10 mile). Very good location to downtown historic area, about 5 miles. I would have given an excellent rating but for some glaring problems If you have an aversion to cigarette smoke then be aware that it is allowed at the pool area which is small in size, so you cannot avoid it. Also I found the tv service provided by Direct Tv satellite to be confusing with limited channel selection. Most confusing is where they put the wardrobe for hanging clothes, in the bathroom with no door to shield the clothes from the moisture. When we took our showers our hanging clothing would be damp afterward.
"Can't beat Best Western"
We always stay at Best Western when we travel. In fact, we have stayed at this hotel at least 4 times. It is a block from the ocean and a great place to a family to stay. We love St. Augustine and invited two family members to join us on this trip as they had never visited the town before. They absolutely loved it and plan to return again as well.
"Great stay!"
Room was so nicely put together. If you have a child, they fold towels into a dog. Thought that was so cute. Very clean. Staff was great. They got us in a room even though we arrived before check In. They went out of there way to check with house keeping to get us in our room. Fridge was perfect size. Breakfast bar was great! Pool and hot tub. Short walk from the beach.
"Excellent for the $"
Stayed with our 22 year old daughter for 5 nights. It appears the rooms had been updated recently & were fairly spacious with 2 beds, a chair & ottoman, a frig & microwave. Staff was friendly & helpful. A few problems with wifi. Breakfast was more than continental & included fresh fruit. Housekeeping did an excellent job cleaning our room daily & re-stocking towels, etc. Washer & dryer on premises came in handy. Just take detergent & about $4 in quarters for a load to wash & dry. Location is just across the street from the beach & within 10 minutes of the Pier & some decent restaurants. Less than 15 minutes to historic downtown, lighthouse & state park, as well as other attractions. Didn't get a 5 star because of wifi issues, a/c couldn't keep up during the day with keeping the room cool (however, it was in 90s with indexes over 100), & if you can't do stairs, better specify you need ground floor, as no elevator. Imagine that might be a problem for some. Would help if they put towel racks in the bathroom to hang larger bath towels on for drying. Also, I thought the pocket bathroom door was awesome until the first night when someone is in the bathroom & has lights on. Basically, lights up the entire room because it's only frosted, so you can't see in the bathroom but it definitely is like turning on a light in the room!
"Beautiful hotel across from beach. Enjoyed our stay."
Beautiful hotel across from beach, located just down from the pier where they were having an open-air concert one night. As others stated, parking is extremely tight in back so park up front if possible. Room was immaculate and decorated differently than other hotels which was kinda nice. Reading lamps over beds. No carpeting. Pool was wonderful.
"Great location, Great service! Absolutely unbeatable!"
My wife and I took 2 granddaughters to St. Augustine for a long weekend. It was our granddaughters first trip to Florida, to the Beach and to stay in a hotel. We were thrilled with the location and the accommodations. Spacious, clean rooms. Well appointed. Terrific pool area. Outstanding service. Unbeatable breakfast. We will definitely come back and will recommend to others!
"Great stay"
Great hotel, close to everything, room clean and modern, comfortable beds, service was outstanding. Only complaint was the fridge wasn't working well. Pool was very clean and plenty of comfortable chairs for everyone. Parking was tight after a long night.
"Great Location"
We stayed 3 nights at this hotel. Very easy walk to the beach and local restaurants. No carpeting in the rooms, a good idea because of the sand from the beach. The breakfast was well stocked. The typical waffles, but also had eggs & a meat. I would stay again.

"Best Place to relax"
This facility has most caring team always go above and beyond to satisfy you. The breakfast is a treat. It has a clean swimming pool and fresh coffee always avalable. Literally a block away from the beach

"Delightful summer trip!"
My husband and I finished a few days at this hotel in St. Augustine Beach. What a little gem on the best beach! Across the street from the beach. The rooms are renovated in a contemporary style. Super clean and comfortable. It's really a cute Spanish style hotel. Walking distance to a number of shops and restaurants. Great pool! Looks better on the outside than the fancy place across the street!

"Awesome Value & Fresh Look"
This particular BW is on it's way to being a BW+ with a fresh look and newly redesigned rooms. The location is older so you have all the problems that come with older buildings but the maintenance/contractors seem to be in the progress of getting the work done. Carpet has been replaced with LVT flooring which is great because you know you are going to be tracking in sand after the two minute walk from the beach across Beach Blvd. All linens are fresh and white with gray/whitewash colored furniture in clean lines and styling (think Ikea), accent pops of lime green, turquoise, and orange kept to the Florida feel with beachy art prints. The bathroom was larger than we expected and updated with granite counter tops and fresh fixtures. The water pressure was decent coming from a rain style shower head and we never ran out of hot water. We chose this location for a last minute beach trip and stayed 4 to a room (Husband, me, 2 teen girls) with 2 queen beds and were very comfortable after a long day out at the beach or downtown. The a/c is cold and the rooms are fresh and clean. The continental breakfast is a misnomer because there is definitely a better selection than bread and jams. Our morning breakfast choices were: egg omelet with cheese, sausage, bacon, juice, coffee, breads, cereal (hot & cold), milk/almond milk, muffins & danish, fresh fruit, yogurt, and my person favorite....waffles with a myriad of toppings. You may as well just get up and eat at the hotel because you are certainly getting a good breakfast here. After a day on the beach, you can head to the pool which is on the smaller side but wasn't crowded when we went so it was fine. Within walking distance is a great (legit) coffee house where you can get pour-overs or iced coffee at Kookaburra's and they also do savory pies which are great for lunch. Also within walking/skating distance is Opi's for burgers and the Taco Shop which has an amazing invention called the UFO, which is like a crunch wrap on steroids. Rent your surf boards from the Pit right across the street after you fill up on nachos and hit the waves. If you have a 4wheel drive, you can throw your boards in the back of your vehicle and pay $6 bucks to drive on the beach and drop your crew off. If you want to visit downtown, don't bother driving and trying to find parking, just head out to the bus stop in front of the hotel and catch the beach bus to the trolley and spend the day exploring...when you are finished, you get dropped off in front of the hotel for the evening. This Best Western is a great location and has an awesome staff but if you want to know what's what....ask Jesse, he even answered my question of "I wonder what property taxes are around here?" So, why not give it an "Excellent" instead of just "Very Good"? Simply this, they aren't finished with all of their improvements yet and they are still a work in progress. Kudos for being almost there. If you want a quick walk to the beach but don't mind if you can see the ocean from your room, this is an awesome value.

"NICEST HOTEL IN ST AUGUSTINE"
This hotel is super nice and convenient to the beach. The beach is just a short walk across the street but this part of the beat is so beautiful with the sand dunes and no traffic on the beach. The beds are amazing very comfy and clean. The breakfast is yummy and the staff is super nice and helpful. The rooms are very clean and updated. Will definitely stay here again.
"Great stay!"
We recently stayed here for two nights and the visit was great. I took my two kids (age 6 and 4) and we had a good time. The walk to the beach wasn't too bad. Room was very clean (only thing was the sliding door to the bathroom was broke) and the door to the room was giving us some problems but after we checked out they started work in there so I think that problem will be fixed. The pool are hot tub were ok, the pool was a little hot but that is to expected when the days are into the high 90's. Breakfast was good. The guy at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Would stay here again in the future.
"Good price"
I have no complaints. The hotel staff were very friendly. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Yes, parking was tight and crowded. There isn't an elevator to the second floors,just stairs so if you don't want to lug your belongings up and down the stairs; you'll want to make sure to request a downstairs room. I think the hotel is in a great location and good price.
"Surprisingly really nice!!!"
Once we arrived the staff was really welcoming and offered tons of recommendations for restaurants and attractions! We stayed two nights and the service was great! The rooms were very nice and clean and had a hose outside to wash the sand off before entering! The beach is a block away and is located half a mile from sunset grille and mango mangos! The parking is kind of bad throughout the day and night but other than that it was a great experience! I would stay here again if I come back to St. Augustine Beach!
"Beach fun"
Was a very nice stay. The pool was clean, staff friendly, and breakfast was small but all that was needed.Convenient to evetything, the pier is right across the street short ride to downtown. Please keep our beaches clean
"Love! "
Awesome location! The beach is across the street, and it is beautiful! The hotel is newly remodeled and clean. The beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of pillows. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is great! I would stay here again!
"Great place to stay"
Recently stayed at this best western. The staff was terrific and were able to provide us two rooms we needed adjoining. I am surprised this is not a best western plus. The rooms were fully upgraded, tastefully done, the beds were terrific. We loved everything about this place and would stay again in a heartbeat. The breakfast room was crowded and small, but the attendant did an excellent job providing hot food refills as needed.
"Very impressive!"
I normally don't leave reviews online, but I have got to give it up for the crew you've got at this hotel! Sure. There were some issues with the pool, but Jesse, at the front desk, was especially helpful and informative! He helped us find a great coffee place, which literally saved our day! He really made my friends and I feel welcome and he more than made up for any inconveniences we encountered. Can't wait to get back down to Saint Augustine!
"Best value of the whole trip!"
One block from the beach; the pool was immaculate, the room was spotless and renovated and quiet. The breakfast area was squeaky clean and the warm foods were warm and fresh. Beds were comfortable, pillows were soft and room was very clean.
"Not Beachfront, But Nice"
Nice newer hotel with nice pool and clean rooms. Within walking distance of the beach and some restaurants, but certainly not beachfront and no view of the beach. The staff was very nice and friendly.
, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review

Thank you for taking time to let us know about your stay, and we hope that you come see us again if you find yourself in St. Augustine.
"Newly renovated and comfy"
We came during 4th of July weekend for a little get away and were very pleased with the newly renovated room. It was very luxurious and comfortable. I wish I could say the same for the pool. Sadly the pool was lackluster with a hot tub that smelled of rotten eggs. Also while we were down by the pool we were bombarded by mosquitos. I live in Florida and realize mosquitos are awful but normally resorts and hotels spray for bugs in order to prevent them for feeding on guests. The parking situation was awful as well. Very tight and not enough spots. I would recommend coming on a non holiday weekend, perhaps parking would be better. The breakfast was good and consisted of bagels, English muffins, eggs, sausage, Danishes, muffins, waffles, cereal, yogurt and juice. But a lady insisted on hogging the waffle maker and when another guest complained about this, they did nothing while she continued to make 12 waffles for her entire family. Beach was a quick 3-5 minute walk across A1A.

"updated hotel, very close to the beach and a big breakfest"
This Best Western hotel was completely updated and looks better then most hotels on A1 Beach rd. The hotel rooms were updated and modern with WIFI. The breakfast was cheese omelettes, bacon, ham, rolls, bread, cereal, waffles ect. I did not expect a breakfast like this at a Best Western.This hotel is across the street from the beach but it is an easy walk. I have 4 kids and going to the beach we carry a lot of stuff so 1st day i drove across the street and dropped everyone off and then waked over. when it was time to leave we packed everything up and walked back to the hotel, it was easier to walk then to drive and unpack. the road A1 Beaches is a slow driving road and cars stop for pedestrians. After the 1st day we walked daily to the beach from the hotel and it was just as if the hotel was on the beach side, distance is small. This hotel is just as good as the more costly hotels on the beach side so save your money.
"Quick get-away"
Very clean rooms and grounds Curteous staff Decent breakfast area w a great hostess who cooked my waffle because I am disabled and handicapped. HOWEVER!!!!!!! When the bathroom mirror got steamed up..... The word REDRUM was clearly visible on the mirror!!!!! Desk clerk was told and did NOTHING!! Offered NOTHING!!!! Just shrugged his shoulder like oh well!!! I am 64 and my daughter in her 40's slept with her gun right next to her to protect us!!!!
"Not up to reviews. "
Booked here after reading Trip Advisor. This recently renovated Best Western was far from the best. When we checked in on Saturday front desk person warned us the breakfast area the morning would be packed and to expect lines. Not enough seating in dining area and very cramped serving area. Had to wait for refills on food all week long. Only 1 waffle maker and not much variety.Our first floor room had a broken fridge to start. The room had just finished being remodeled. It was cold and sterile. Grey pergo flooring and grey Formica headboards. Furniture is all Formica. Bed frame is a silver vinyl. Water pressure in shower is terrible. Bathroom ceiling was leaking final night. Front desk gave us towels to put on floor. The pool was dirty. Looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a few days. One positive the air conditioning worked great. Wouldn't stay here again.
"Family Trip to St. Augustine Beach"
The location of the hotel was perfect...just a short walk to the beach. The hotel staff were very pleasant and accommodating. The rooms are newly remodeled but more attention to cleaning is needed. Breakfast was decent and there was something for everyone. Parking is a nightmare! There is only one way in and one way out. If you're room is located on the pool side, good luck trying to get out if the parking lot is full...terrible! Another deterrent was the designated smoking areas...there aren't any! People walked around with their cigarettes everywhere including the pool area. It's very frustrating and disrespectful to nonsmokers.
"I had an Amazing stay at the BW!!!"
Me and my husband traveled up to St Augustine for a weekend getaway and we booked the Best Western beach side. The rooms were clean, the towels were bright and white, the bed was the most comfortable and we truly appreciated the refrigerator in the room. Complimentary breakfast was fantastic! The property was well maintained and clean. Parking was tight but it wasn't an issue. The hotel was quiet during the night, no disturbance while you sleep. I would definitely return to the BW when I travel back to St. Augustine.
"Impessive..! For the price......"
The Hotel is 1 block from the beach & restaurants.... We were in a first floor room recently renovated... Room was very clean and fresh smelling. Hotel employees were friendly and very helpful, thanks Jody for the recommendations to local restaurants and attractions. Rooms were priced $50 and more, less than other hotels.

"Good Value"
Friendly staff. Towels and blankets could have been cleaner but besides that everything was great. Beach is a short walk across the street making this a great value. I would definitely stay there again.
"Fathers day 2016 stay"
The hotel is clean and the grounds were kept up very nicely. Also the staff were all very professional and helpful.The location was across A1A from the beach but very close. The breakfast was so so, The hotel is only a few minutes to the historic district of St Auigustine.
"Very clean updated and good value, beach across the street easy access."
We were looking for a low cost night to spend at the beach and visit Historic San Augustine 10 minutes away. Best Western has 3 categories they use to rate their chain, and this one should be rated Plus or maybe even Premier, but isnt. Jesse the Manager was very knowledgeable about where to go in historic area, and very pleasant. Recently updated (nicely) very clean, and great location. Parking a little tight, look for one of spaces at west end of the property. I Recommend highly this hotel.
"Sisters weekend"
Jesse was a very helpful , friendly front desk person. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Beach is across the street . It a very quite area but close to downtown. You can also use the trolley instead of driving . Will stay again
"Had a few bumps but all addressed"
Recently renovated but a storm had knocked out some electrical functions that were still being identified - like no phone. Previous occupants stuffed plastic down the tub so it wouldn't drain and hotel handled. Hot tub wasn't hot and bubbly night one but was corrected the next night - which shows there is a very responsive staff! Décor in the rooms nice and modern. Across the street from the beach. We chose to take a cab to/from the old city and it worked well for our short visit. Nice area to stay to be in between the city and the beach!
"Excellent Hotel with amazingly friendly staff"
This hotel is among this best I've visited. The gentleman that assisted us: Jess McCaleb was great. He made the entire experience so much more. His knowledge of the city helped us to plan our visits to the attractions in the city as well as know the best places dine. We certainly applaud your staff (especially Jesse) and look forward to another visit in the very near future.
"A hidden gem on St. Augustine Beach!"

This hotel was recently remodeled and was in perfect shape. The hotel is located close to the beach but not on a busy hwy so there was no traffic noise. The hotel staff is very friendly and very helpful. For example, on my departure Jesse at the front desk arranged my next hotel stay in Atlanta Georgia at the best rate and closest to my destination. My room was kept exceptionally clean. The breakfast area is a bit small, but a light breakfast can be made. My trip to St Augustine historic downtown was so much fun and this motel was a perfect place to stay.

"Great Beach Stay"
My friend and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It was a few minutes walk to the beach, which we were able to visit almost every day we were staying there. There is a free continental breakfast with a great employee working named Travis. He kept us smiling, each day! The beds and pillows were comfy. The bathroom was nice. Shower had great water pressure. Liked the fact the floors were not rugs, especially after a day at the beach where it was impossible to remove all the sand. However because of that we wished there was a stand by broom or mop or vacuum to remove the sand we dragged in to the room. The pool was nice and the hot tub was the right temperature, however it could use more powerful jets. Also we weren't impressed with the hot tub being unavailable/closed for a day. And the following days it smelled off like rotten eggs or sulfur like. Also, the pool closed at 10pm each night. It would be better if was open until midnight or at least 11pm. You don't hear the people next door to you but you most defiantly can hear people outside. The air conditioner could have had more power and was a little difficult to change the temperature to a lower setting. It looks like hotel has been recently updated or repaired, especially with workers out every morning painting. The rooms look really nice. We enjoyed our stay and would come back again or recommend.

"Not worth the money"
Checked in and got to room after lugging bags up two flights of stairs. Found toilet lid up and urine/toilet paper in it. Room decor was nice but that was it. Toilet slow and had to call front desk for plunger after first use-minimal paper used. Floors were laminate. After showering the next morning and walking on it my feet were filthy. And the parking is horrendous. Named Seaside Inn but it's across the street from the ocean and you can't see any ocean. Not worth the price!

What a wonderful stay we had at the Best Western Seaside Inn. The Inn was immaculate, room was large, the hot breakfast very complete and the St. Augustine Beach, only a short walk away, is so beautiful as anyone who has been here knows. What I really want to emphasize is the wonderful staff of the Seaside Inn from Laura, my initial phone contact to Melissa who was a tremendous help in getting me registered for membership rewards to a young man, Jesse, who bent over backwards to return some critical items I left in my room in time for me to take them on my next trip. How proud the Seaside Inn must be of this enthusiastic, polite and helpful young man. Thank you all for a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back!!

"Saint Augustine Beach has some very expensive hotels, but this one is very good and reasonably priced."
When you're in Saint Augustine Beach, you're in a resort town on a beautiful beach several miles south of the city of Saint Augustine. Some of the more expensive hotels are on the beach side of the street. This hotel is 50 feet across the street and it's easy to get across the street. In beach resort towns like this, (and I think it's Florida state law), if you want to cross the street, the cars have to stop and let you cross. So walk across the street to the public access walkway and you've saved yourself a hundred dollars a night. If you are rich, it's no big deal, but we had wonderful seafood dinners while we were there that were essentially free because we saved money on this hotel room. The room was clean with tile floors because, everyone who stays there probably goes to the beach and brings sand back. I was so glad that this room did not have carpet on the floor as I don't think they could ever get all the sand out, that is probably tracked in. As it is, they keep the floors clean and you know it's clean. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. The room had a small refrigerator and a microwave, and that is great since my wife likes her diet cokes cold. The breakfast was good with eggs and cheese, and different cereals. They have a waffle machine which I used along with butter and maple syrup. Front desk staff, particularly Debra Darkes was very helpful in referring us to some excellent seafood restaurants, along with an ice cream shop that is great. Be aware that while we were there, we saw the local police regularly patrolling both ends of the main street in Saint Augustine Beach. They seem to be there to make sure there is no speeding in town as there are hundreds of people constantly walking across the street from one end to the other going to and coming from the beach. So the police are there to protect them. Don't speed as I'm sure they will ticket you to get your attention and keep you from killing some child crossing the street.

The pool is small and it does have a hot tub but it was not working well during our stay. We did not try the breakfast that was included. Sad to say, we experienced some rude guest during our stay.

"Very Helpful Staff"
We stayed for four nights and enjoyed comfortable bed, plenty of parking and convenient location. The staff at reception were extremely helpful & obliging. Advising restaurants and places of interests, even helping to find accommodation in our next town.

"Best Western Seaside St. Augustine Beach,Fl"
Front desk personal, especially Melissa, were outstanding. Maintenance employees were hard working. Did not like a mattress truck blocking part of the parking lot entrance. While this was going on, landscapers influenced closing of the pool on a hot day, and hot tub wasn't working for most of our stay. Pool needs to be upgraded with a heater.

"really surprised"
When I found out that my secret deal at hotwire is Best Western I was more than worried. Thankfully, the reality was much better than what I could expect. The room was very clean, like a good 4* clean. The girl at the reception - Melissa - was super friendly and extremely professional (once again a good 4* quality). The breakfast was complimentary and for the price I've paid I couldn't ask for more (I usually stay at Hampton Inn and it was pretty much the same quality and choice of food), maybe except a microwave in the breakfast area to heat up milk. So surprisingly my lucky shot was really lucky.

"Great little hotel-- Only thing that would be better brewed coffee"
Last week the weather was great . The staff was very friendly. The hotel has the feel of a family owned hotel. It's a little older but remodeled and kept well. Very clean.It's across the street from the beach, and about a 5 minute walk to the fishing pier. There are several restaurants between the hotel and Pier. Pick one with an outside second floor and you'll enjoy the view. This is a perfect time of year to go.

"overnight in Saint Augustine"
Hotel is nice, parking can be a nightmare especially for a larger SUV or truck espcially on the back side as you cant circle the building, if it is busy you have to back around with little room for error, two blocks to the ocean but plan on a good sand walk once you get to the access, really cool diner within walking distance. If you are top floor plan on carring your bags up the steps NO ELEVATOR

"Disappointed"
I am a BW loyalty member and was disappointed to be allocated a room at the bottom of the stairwell for our two night stay. I wished I had gone for one of the two BW in St Augustine. The room had been renovated and was clean, but we found it very dark. The pool was very small, with very little room for the loungers (of which there were only 3) and chairs. The situation was good for the beach and there were restaurants close by but we went into St Augustine to eat. The breakfast was the usual standard Best Western.
"Beachie Paradise"
Nice place friendly staff awesome rooms recently remolded.Nice section of the beach across the street near good restaurants check trip advisor for good deals.They have a nice contintel Breakfast.This place is a good bang for the buck

"Girls Weekend "
The exterior of the hotel is beautiful and the breakfast is pretty good too- but the rooms still need some work . We had a 2 bedroom suite on the 3rd ( no elevator ) the suite was clean and the kitchen was lovely to have but there was only one bathroom in the whole unit and it had no towel racks or a hooks to hang your towel up. The shower was the smallest I've ever seen and no shelf to put your soap and shampoos . The only mirror in the whole suite was in the bathroom . The toilet was small and stained. In addition to the bathroom door not shutting none of the closet doors shut properly within the unit. We had a lovely time but I don't think we will return.

"Housekeeping was very spotty and renovations in progress"
We checked in 4/15/16. Checked out 4/22/16. Location is not bad but you have to go across a busy street to get the block to the beach. Beach is awesome. Weather was great. One asset is the flooring is hard surface, not nasty carpet. Breakfast was substantial w/cheese omelet, sausage, bacon, cereals, waffle maker, juices/coffee, bagels...you name it. Desk staff, Melissa, very friendly and responsive. Breakfast area is rather small, esp when hotel is fairly full. Parking lot is way too tight. They shoe horn spaces in every nook and cranny. Housekeeping was inadequate. They did not touch our room one day. On two additional days they only made the beds halfway and didn't change the bedding. One day they didn't touch the bathroom. I complained twice then on the third time I asked for compensation. They were very prompt in offering to comp my last night. That was nice but the least they could do. I let the first two times slide but it was clear the housekeeping dept didn't give a rat's ugly backside. I was told when I checked out they were short in housekeeping. If that was the case I shouldn't have been seeing the staff sitting on the curb from time to time checking their cellphones and smoking cigarettes. For avg per night during a month like April of $150/night it should be better. The last full day a contractor goes into the room next door and guts it for renovation. It was so loud we had to vacate off property for peace. I enjoyed the stay in St. Augustine overall but the hotel should have been better for that price. If I'm going to deal with lousy housekeeping and renovations I don't expect to pay $150/night. They did not inform me in advance that renovations were in progress.
"Seaside at St. Auggie"
Nice, clean, friendly, close to beach and attractions. The best grill at the beach is close by (Sunset Grill) and walking distance to the beach is a bonus. Only drawback is that hotel pool is not heated and is chilly!
"Location, location, location!!!!"
My sister and I stayed here for one night (04/14/16). We used a coupon from the Florida travel coupon book and got a rate of $99.00 + taxes. This rate was good through Thursdays only. The room (#119) was very nice. The room was large with two queen beds. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The room had a flat screen TV, microwave and small refrigerator. The beds were very comfortable and the room was quiet. My review title says it all.....you walk directly across the street to the path that takes you out onto the beautiful beach. You can't get much closer than that unless you spend $200. or more per night at one of the hotels directly on the beach. We did not use the pool but did go and look at it. The pool was very clean and inviting. The lounge chairs looked comfortable. Beautiful palm trees and landscaping in and around the pool area. The pool is tucked away on one side of the hotel for privacy. There is a handicap ramp to get into this area. Breakfast offered many choices. The area was kept clean and organized. The area where you sit and eat could be a little larger. There isn't much the hotel can do about this. There is only so much space that could be used for this area. We enjoyed our stay. I will be going back again. Hopefully soon!
"OK for one night near the beach as I was passing through"
Average Best Western. Selected this based on location and price. Probably a 2.5 star hotel -- actually a motel (each room is accessed by an exterior door). My room's bathroom and furniture were updated which I appreciated but bedding and cleanliness were not top-notch. If you want to walk a block to the beach and don't want to pay too much, this will probably work but realize it's 2.5 stars. Check-in clerk was unexpectedly effective, pleasant, welcoming.
"Great for the money"
Very close to the beautiful beach. Only took a minute to walk across street to beach. Clean large rooms. Loads of choices for breakfast. Close to many restaurants. Price goes up on weekends but still ok compared to other places. Parking a little cramped but that is the case in all of St. Augustine in our opinion. Staff very friendly and efficient.

"Great place for beach fun!"
This hotel has a great location, just across the street from the beach and close to all of the fun of St. Augustine Beach. It seems to be very newly remodeled, the rooms don;t have wall to wall carpet, they have laminate flooring which feels far more sanitary than mystery carpet. Great stay at a great price!

"Much Needed Vacation"
If you don't mind a short walk to the beach, this location on the St. Augustine Beach Blvd is just right. You are within walking distance of several nice restaurants and also the pier. This property has an older, mature feel about it. There is a nice, small outdoor pool to use. Plus the breakfast was an extra bonus....hot breakfast items, make-your-own waffle or cold cereal, if that is what you prefer. We woke up early every morning, grabbed a cup of coffee, walked to the beach to watch the sun come up and pat the dogs that owners were walking. Then we would head back to our room to wash up for the day and have our breakfast before heading out. A nice place for a vacation.

Dear X516RSlindah: We the staff want to "Thank You" for your most recent stay with us and your very nice review of the hotel. I am glad to read that you enjoyed the breakfast too. Please come again. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Family Fun"
We stayed 3 nights and the weather was amazing. We were on the 3rd floor and had an ocean view balcony. It was a beautiful view. The kitchenette was nice. They provide dishes, utensils a pot, a pan and even a cutting board. The bed was nice and firm for us. Lots of extra blankets, and pillows. The room was very clean. The pool was chilly and the hot tub was like a luke warm bath. I have one tiny complaint about one of the desk agents but the others positive attitude and helpful manner made up for it. We definitely will be back next year.
"Good value"
This small motor inn has an attractive curb appeal and updated rooms. They have granite counter tops in the bathroom, laminate floors, and tiled baths. Our room had a fridge and a microwave. The beds are on a metal frame that was noisy. The pool is small and the hot tub is not very hot and is not bubbly. The breakfast area is small and can be very crowded. Homemade waffles are good! Unfortunately, the washer was broken and appeared to have been that way for awhile, The hotel is across the street from the beach and there is no crosswalk.
"Nice All Around"
We stayed there 3/28-31/16. Had 2 young teens is us. Location was within walking distance to the beach, places to eat, and a couple souvenir shops. We enjoyed the walks as the weather was beautiful. The pool and hot tub were enjoyed by the kids. Breakfast was great and coffee was available all day long. The young man who kept the breakfast stocked was very friendly and helpful (sorry I didn't get his name). The room was nice and clean. Newly remodeled and in great shape. We enjoyed the Old Time Trolley beach bus pick up right outside the hotel. We never had to drive until we left. We definitely enjoyed our stay! Best vacation we have had in a while
"Great Value"
For being across the street from the beach, this is an awesome value. Breakfast is nice in the morning and the pool is quaint but nice (as is the hot tub). Only a short trip from all of the downtown action, but still close to restaurants and bars on the beach.

"Glad we stayed."
The staff is her friendly. The rooms have recently been renovated, which is a plus. Really loved the fact they used a laminate flooring instead of carpet, helps with allergies! If your fan of carpet, don't worry they kept an area rug in between the two beds. The breakfast was pretty good, my kids seemed to have no problem finding something to satisfy them. Unfortunately, the area where you select food and beverage is very small and can be difficult to move around. The young man did a wonderful job keeping up on the quickly dismissing supply of food and beverage. The dining area was ok. My daughter enjoyed the pool and did not complain about the temperature. It is walking distance from the beach. Also the Old Time Trolly has a pickup directly in front of the hotel, so no need to drive downtown St. Augustine unless you decide to stay late, but even with that you can use taxi service. So now on the down side, the hotel was temporarily out of water, due to a water main break down the road (not their fault), management dealt with this well, she informed all pratrons in the dining area and attempted to call all rooms to notify them of situation and if that didn't work they were going to each guest room( glad I showered before bed)! I went to do laundry and it was out of commission, dislike going home with dirty laundry! Next, a house keeper was cutting corners, when I pulled down the sheets someone left their sock behind! I called the front desk, and Jon apologized for it and immediately brought up fresh bedding. The housekeeping manager was also very apologetic about situation and assured me she would check schedule and deal with the problem (begin in management I understand you don't always have control of what an employee does and can't fix something if we don't know about it!) Overall I was satisfied with our stay and will most likely stay their again. Beside the few issues makes good conversation and memories for the kids! The cost was reasonable as well.

"Family spring break vacay"
We wanted something reasonably priced, walking distance to everything, and this was it. Hotel is being renovated, so we were advised to ask for first floor since those rooms are done. We did and they were happy to accommodate. Rooms were clean and modern. Love the laminate floors! (can't stand carpetting in hotels by the beach) Bathroom clean and modern. 5 minute walk to beach, ice cream shops, and the best reataurants you can imagine. Also from the hotel is about a 20 minute beach walk to the pier. Pool was clean, but pool area could use more lounge seating- but no room for more. WE WILL BE BACK, as we loved the location and cleam rooms.

Went for a weekend getaway. Haven't been to St. Augustine in a long time. Nice quiet location, newly renovated. Easy drive to the city, and walk to the beach.

"St. Augustine trip"
The Sea-Side Best Western was a nice hotel that was a short walk to the beach. If you like to walk on the beach, it was also a longer walk and you where in the State Park's beach. The Motel is getting ready to replace the beds in the rooms, however we found the beds to still be very good. Prices where high, I guess the time of year, and events going on controls that. Some real good places to eat, really liked the Sun Set Grill.

This was exactly what we needed to have a good visit at the beach of St. Augustine. It is a really nice place. Its nice and quiet, the beds are comfortable, they provide you with everything you need, and the staff was very nice to us when we had a bit of car trouble on our trip.

"Highly recommend"
We just came home from our 7 night stay at the Best Western Seaside Inn location. I would recommend anyone to go here, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms are very clean and have everything you need. I wasn't aware when I booked at the last min. that there was no elevator (only 3 floors), my husband walks with a cane. However, he would have been able to handle the stairs if he had too. Our room happened to be on the ground level which was nice because we could park right in front of our room. We never used the pool but saw that it was clean and well kept. They serve continental breakfast which is standard. I was worried that we couldn't hear the ocean since we were across the street, BUT its less than a 5min walk to the beach across the street literally. Biggest issue we had was the fact that the hotel room door had to be shoulder bumped in order to open it everytime as well as the bathroom door. I would stay here again, the location cant be beat and very reasonable prices as well as the area is very safe.
"Fabulous General Manager!"
Our reservation was messed up. Booking through the internet is usually easy but not this time. We got there to find our reservation was for the week before and already charged. The GM was awesome and gave us a room for a discounted rate. The room was fabulous and we couldn't have been happier with the hotel or the staff. I will definitely book Best Westerns again.

My wife and I stayed here in December, 2015 as part of a trip to the southeast USA. We asked for and received a quiet room for our three-night stay. The ocean is a 5-minute walk, and some excellent restaurants are nearby. The staff are friendly and accommodating, the breakfasts were tasty, the room and facilities always clean. Great little hotel with a great location!

"great time"
This is a nice quiet, peaceful hotel right across the street from the beach. Upon our arrival we were greeted by a courteous, and helpful front desk staff. Our room was very clean and well kept. Would stay here again if we're in the area.
"Would stay here again"
Stayed here 3 nights while vacationing in St. Augustine. The hotel fits well with the Spanish history because it kind has that look of a Spanish villa. Close to the beach, but there's no beach view from the hotel. The staff was very friendly, and the rooms were comfortable. I loved the chair with foot stool, so nice for putting your feet up after a long day. The breakfast area was a little small but workable. Hot breakfast included eggs, bacon or sausage, biscuits & gravy, waffles. We were very happy with the hotel except for a couple things. The parking lot is very small, and if you get to the hotel after 8pm, good luck finding a spot. Housekeeping was excellent except for one day where it looked like the maid didn't even 5 minutes in our room. The bed wasn't made, the towels were just thrown on the counter, and I don't think they emptied the garbage that day either.
"Great location"
We normally stay in another hotel, but it was booked, so we stayed at this Best Western. Honestly, we will be staying here in the future instead of the other place. This Best Western is in the middle of renovation. We had one of the "new" rooms. It is very pretty and the bed was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like is the type of office chair they have at the desk. The floors are tile or something, so the chair keeps sliding away for the desk while you're sitting in it. Otherwise, the work they've done is very nice. They have a pool and hot tub, but we didn't have time to try either so I can't review them. It is basically across the street from the beach. A short walk but worth it. The breakfast is typical hotel continental breakfast, but Travis does a great job of keeping everything filled so you can have what you want without waiting. (He is also very friendly) There aren't too many table, but we never had to wait to eat. We stayed 2 night, and like I said, we will be back.
"Nothing Soecial"
Room was clean and we liked the non-carpeted floors. Three of three front desk people we spoke with were friendly and helpful. The thing we didn't like was paper thin walls both inside and out. Neighbors next to us were not loud at all but we could still hear their conversations. Could hear anything going on outside. Fortunately we have a sound machine app that allowed us to sleep without hearing everything going on around us Only other thing was that our used towels were not taken and replaced. We asked for replacements but it didn't happen. Best thing about the room was a fabulous shower...I want one for home! Location is great for exploring St Augustine Beach or the city. Right across street from lovely beach.
"Great hotel/Great location"
My family && I only spent one nite here but it was a great nite. We just needed a quick getaway and this hotel was right on time. At the time there was some construction going on but we didn't mind. Check-in was speedy. Great staff. Hassle free parking for a small hotel. The room was very clean and spacious! Wi-fi worked well && best of all, beach is literally across the street.
"BEACH, HISTORY and CHARMING HOTEL"
This place is amazing. The staff make the experience so wonderful. Cannot say enough about how clean and well presented the hotel is. Brand new bathrooms are great! Wish I could have taken the shower head home with me.......... The bed is comfortable and enjoyed the entire 2 nite stay! HOT TUB is great!

"Great location, a short walk to the beach"
We stayed at this location for two nights and its location is great. We were visiting to see the sights of St Augustine but wanted to be near the beach so we could do some beach walking. Room has been updated and is well furnished and comfortable. It is a short walk across the street and down a path to ocean access with miles of beautiful beach to explore. Breakfast is typical cereals, waffles, eggs but certainly enough for us to get our day started. Breakfast area is a little tight but you can make do.

"Nice hotel in St. Augustine Beach"
We stayed one evening at this comfortable hotel which is close to St. Augustine Beach. I walked accrossed A1A and down a short path to the lovely beach. We were greeted by a very nice young man who checked us in and was very helpful. We ate at a restaurant, Salt Life which was right down the road from the hotel and the food was outstanding.

Hi BUBOUND: Thank You so much for the great review of our hotel and the staff, I will make sure Jon (he checked you in) gets to read your review and I will personally thank him as well. I have the "Best" staff in the industry. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Helpful Staff"
Stayed 2 nights at this motel not hotel, as your room exited outside on to a common landing overlooking the car park, which was quite noisy first thing in the morning as people went about there business. The check in staff were very helpful and pleasant. The room was bright and colourful consisting of 2 queen beds with clean fresh linen and fridge, microwave and tea/coffee making facilities but no lock box/safe. The bathroom had a bath with shower with adequate clean fresh towels though strangely the hanging space for clothes was a rack open in the bathroom. The breakfast was fairly basic, but set us up well for the day and again the staff were helpful. Free wifi and parking were available. Reasonable value for money and would use again if in the area.

Hello difaJP: I Thank You for choosing our hotel for your needs. I am happy to see that you enjoyed the hotel and my wonderful staff. I am sorry to see that our new bathroom was not totally to your taste. This is an older hotel and to we recently remodeled the bathrooms to include the vanity area and it would be redundant to enclose a closet area. I hope to see you again after all the new furniture and drapes are installed. Thank you again. Marcy Deering. GM
"VERY NICE!!"
This hotel is both nice looking, and nicely located. The room was clean, the king bed was comfortable, and the staff members were friendly. When we discovered that our microwave was not functioning to the maximum in the evening, the young man at the front desk arranged for a new one to be brought in within a short time. While the breakfast items are pretty much the norm, they were well done and fresh. Were spent the night during the week, rather than on a weekend, and found it to be restful and quiet. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

Hello Aliyah21: Thank You for such a nice review. I know we will see you again soon. Marcy Deering, GM
"Great weekend getaway"
What a beautiful view! The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was yummy. It is located very close to the beach which makes it very easy to just walk right down and enjoy the good Florida sun! I will definitely come back!

Hi Savannah K : You are so right, the view is wonderful from the suite to the ocean. I just wish all of our rooms had a view, unfortunatly we only have 2 suites that have that nice view. But we are so close to the beach that you can smell the ocean. Thank You for the nice review, Please come again. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Very nice close to the beach"
The rooms are clean, big bathroom, nice linens. We had a burned out headlight and the desk staff directed us to a local repair shop. Helpful with places to eat & places to see. Very friendly & helpful. Only a block to a wide beach. : ) . The hotel was quiet even with remodeling going on. The front desk said to call if there was noise after 8 & they would send them away. But never a problem. They are starting to recycle too. Only suggestions to make it better. Put two chairs with foot stools in the room. The one is nice and there is a desk chair to use. After a full day of sightseeing it's nice to put your feet up.

Dear Barb N: I was sorry to hear from my staff that you had car issues, but very glad that they had been able to help you with finding the repair shop. I have the friendliest staff on the entire island, Thank You for coming. Marcy Deering, General Manager

Once again I thank you all very much for your beautiful service and hey we are the crew that composes"" Best Western'' Go team go.
"Good Hotel across street from beach"
This is a quiet and well-run hotel that has recently renovated rooms, an attentive staff and is very clean. This is good for small families wanting to stay at the beach instead of in town when visiting Saint Augustine, or for travelers down the coast who would like to avoid the traffic rush in the city of Saint Augustine. I'm one of those bedbug inspector types, and the room passed with flying colors. My husband liked the mattresses, I felt they were too soft. Difficult to please all. This had a convenient laundry area for all those wet beach towels we made. The complimentary breakfast exceeded our expectations and included a different item each morning.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Good Morning Pat C: I want to "Thank You" for your candid comments about our hotel and let you know that I have let the entire staff read your comments. I am very happy to see that you really checked out all aspects of the hotel and liked what you saw. Travis is our breakfast host and has gotten many compliments , he is a great staff member. Once again, "Thank You". Marcy Deering, General Manager
"great location"
this hotel is across from the fantastic beach, and just along the road in walking distance some great places to eat ( and drink ) We will be staying again in 2016 !. Only thing to be aware of is the hot tub !! yes great to relax in but remove any silver rings as they come out black after the chemicals in the tub.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello 45happyeater: Thank You for the great comments about your stay with us here at the Best Western Seaside Inn, Saint Augustine, Fl.. I am happy to see you enjoyed your stay. I must also say about the hot tub: Our hot tub is filled with well water and it comes from underground and goes through a filtration system, but it contains sulfur water and sulfur has a chemical reaction to silver that causes it to tarnish. It will come bright as new with alittle silver polish. Thanks again, Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Excellent Staff"
By no means a 4 or 5 star hotel this hotel still wins points on it's friendly staff, and clean rooms. Looks like the bathrooms have been recently updated and refreshed, although workmanship was not the greatest (toilet loose on flange, tile not installed in the most appealing pattern). Great place if you want something close to the beach, clean and comfortable, but not too expensive
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Dear rhoffmann: I was very pleased to read your comments about your recent stay with us and I want to say "Thank You" for coming, your business means alot to us. As you stated the hotel is going through some renovations and some of the rooms still need work and I assure you when all is completed about Mid-Spring, the rooms will be top notch. In the next few weeks we will have all new furniture and drapes to go with the new floors and bathrooms. There is also some catch up work to be done in some of the rooms that have been renovated. Thank You for your patience with us during this time. Marcy Deering, General Manger
"Room appeared recently renovated but dirty"
Room appearance was pleasant and modern and appeared recently renovated. Unfortunately, our first floor room was full of sugar ants that were all over our belongings, the towels had stains, and the tub clogged. We opted for another location the following night. Staff was understanding and did make an effort to rectify the

Hello pgire: First and foremost let me say "I am so sorry that we failed you and your family during your most recent stay". I am very happy to read that my staff was understanding and worked to make your changes and make you happy. Thank you for your kindness during our time of renovations. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"some issues"
no microwave in room, ceiling leaked in bathroom--but rooms have recently been remodeled. Across the street from the beach. Good restaurants nearby. Helpful staff. It would be a great room once the leak is repaired.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello iktomi: I want to "Thank You" for choosing us during your trip to St.Augustine, please do come again. I would like to also apologize for the water leak you had during your stay. It is most unfortunate that you had that problem. The leak was caused from the guest upstairs directly above you overfilling the bathtub and not letting anyone know. Of course had we known we could have at least gotten you out of the room before the water was coming through the ceiling. Thank you for understanding, and please come again. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Good value. Cute and Cozy."
This is a great little hotel just off the beaten path and across the street from the beach. Considering the holiday season and nearby tourist attraction of downtown St. Augustine, this hotel was a great value. Rooms were clean and very cute. Staff was friendly. Clientele was primarily families and young travelers. I'd stay here again.
"Outdated and not clean"
This hotel is outdated, we received an updated room which still is considered outdated. The room was not clean there was used soap in our bathroom and red ants that we had to go complain to front desk about. The staff is very friendly
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello Lisa: Please let me start with "I am very sorry" I apologize that we did not succeed in making your stay a great one. There is no excuse for having left over soap in your bathroom. The housekeeping staff missed it and I have already spoken with them to make sure that this never happens again. As I explained to you when you where here the ants where a problem because of the recent rain Ants seek dry ground. I have called our pest control company and they came out and sprayed the grounds and the affected area's. As I understand it after the first night you had no other issues with the ants. Once again, please accept my apologies and do come again. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"secure and convenient"
Although not walking distance, the location is reasonably close to the town centre. We were fortunate that we were allocated a room to the rear which was well away from the busy road. No trouble with noise. The building is showing a few signs of age and could do with age refurbished before too long. As a gel ways in this chain, the breakfast is close to shocking.
"Diva 5K Race"
We stayed at this hotel for the Diva 5k race. I would stay at this location again. It was within a reasonable walking distance from the start and finish line. The hotel rooms were very clean and I liked the fact that there was no carpet in the rooms.

Hello Vicki S: Thank You for your most recent stay with us, and Thank You for the great review. We here at Best Western Seaside Inn do take much pride in the fact that our rooms are very clean and that we have the "Friendliest" staff around.

Once again, Thank You and come again. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Nice room ... poor parking"
The room was clean and neat. We had a king bed - very comfortable. It was 'roomy' - as in a large space. There was laminate type floor with an area rug in the sitting area. A pocket door separates the sleeping quarters from the bathroom area. What I did not like was the parking area. It is awful! If you have a large vehicle, do not drive to the back of the hotel. There is only one way in and one way out of this place. Large vehicles do not have enough room to turn around ... you have to back out. Also, I left my galaxy charger and when I called I was told it would cost a minimum of $10 to ship. It's cheaper to buy a new one. We are a preferred customer and they don't care.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello LMP: I am very happy to read that you enjoyed the hotel room itself and that the new floors and bathrooms are such a big hit. I am sorry about the parking, yes, it is a problem on the poolside of the hotel. This hotel has very limited parking. As far as the left item of the charger, we do care however, guest leave many, many items in there rooms that they have forgotten when they check out. We as a hotel are not responsible to pay for those items to be returned to our guest. Our policy is that when a guest calls about a lost or forgotten item: we verify if we have actually found it and then we let the guest know our preferred company"Safe Ship" will be contacting them for payment to ship out the items to the guest. I am very sorry if you feel this is not fair or that you feel that we do not care. We appreicate your candor and your comments. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"St. Augustine Trip"
Hotel is very clean and the staff was accommodating and fixed any problem that we encountered. I was very pleased with the hotel and location was awesome. The staff was helpful and friendly. I would stay there again and recommend this hotel to everyone going to St. Augustine.

"Great location "
Great location, walk to beach and short drive to historic area. Day front desk was nice and funny at check in but when I wanted to lengthen my stay she wasn't helpful and a bit rude. Wanted to charge way too much and I would have to change rooms. Changed hotels for my last day. Night staff very friendly, Jody was friendly.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello PaddyCbus: Thank you for choosing our hotel for your needs. I am sorry to hear that you felt Melissa was rude. I will speak to her about this. I am also sorry that we could not keep you another night as you wanted, however, You were in a handicapp accessible room and for you to stay another night you would have had to change rooms since that room type was booked for the night you wanted to stay for an incoming reservation. I also understand that they could not honor the rate that you had checked in with because our weekend (Friday and Saturday) rates are much higher and I understand that this sometimes comes as a shock to some guests. Please do come again, we would love to have you back. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Ok for a night or two"
They have a full kitchen and plenty of rooms. Be weary that there are a few people who live in the motel. close to everything, but not close enough to really walk downtown. carpet in rooms, tile in bathrooms.
MarcyDeering, General Manager at BEST WESTERN Seaside Inn-St. Augustine Beach, responded to this review
Hello there: I believe this review is not for this property. We are almost 5 miles from the downtown historic area and all of our rooms have new flooring which is not carpet. We also do not have any long term guests nor anyone living in the hotel. Thank You Marcy Deering, General Manger
"Good Place to Stay"
Staff was friendly and helpful. Near the beach and pier. Close to historic places and outlet mall. Rooms were recently renovated and nice. Only issue is they were dusty and satellite kept breaking up due to high wind.

"Nice hotel for the price"
I stayed at the Seaside Inn after a bad experience at a hotel down the road. The hotel is being renovated, the exterior is done as well as the pool area. They both look really nice. The rooms are currently being renovated as well. I received one of the rooms that had not been renovated yet, but it was nice and really clean. I was able to see a couple rooms that were near completion and really impressed with how modern they are going to be! Really nice place, quiet, yet just across A1A from the beach. The staff was exceptional! Everyone was friendly and seemed to want to go out of their way to help with your needs! Breakfast was good as well. I will be back.

It's a short walk to the beach. The staff were all so kind and helpful. The rooms are being renovated and we were in one and it was nice & clean. It had comfy bed & pillows. A cab to downtown is around $12. We'd defiantly stay here again.

Can not beat it for the money. Great location..great breakfast..great staff!!! Pool area is spotless and includes a hot tub. Our room was recently renovated and they did a fantastic job. I read where someone in a previous review had a funny smell in thier room. Please remember that Florida water is full of sulfur. It is what it is. I would have given this hotel 5 stars. But the parking can be a little tricky. It would definitely not keep me from staying again though.

"Very nice hotel. GREAT staff!"
The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of towels and good water pressure. The breakfast was quite good with some hot and a good selection of cold items. I loved that there was always coffee available! The pool area and hot tub were not huge but definitely usable and immaculate. The outdoor area is very pretty and nicely illuminated at night. Wifi worked great and the beach was literally just across the road. The desk and breakfast staff were all brilliant. Very helpful and friendly. The only reason I didn't give it a five rating was there was an odd smell when entering the room. We all adjusted to it pretty quickly but each time we came back in it was there. (It seemed like a drain issue.) Other than that it was a great stay!

"Good location and nice stay"
Our room was clean and tidy and the bed was exceptionally large and comfortable. There was large flat screen tv, fridge, coffee machine and microwave. The bathroom is really compact, with a decent shower over the bath and the loo, with the sink being in a vanity unit in an alcove in the room. The room felt a little bit dark and old fashioned, however it looked like some of the rooms were in the process of being refurbished, as there was a lot of moving of mattresses and workmen at the hotel. There was a smallish outdoor pool and a whirlpool. There isn't a lot of space around the pool, just room for a few sunbeds and chairs. The hotel is a short walk from the beach, which on a still and sunny day, must look stunning!!! Breakfast offered a good selection; cereal, some hot eggs, waffle machine, toast/bread, yoghurt etc. It does get quite busy in the room, as there isn't that much space.

"Overpriced for a Hotel under Renovation"
Initial room was extremely musty smelling, and we all wound up waking up with headaches; Requested a different room and were moved to a room that was supposedly "just renovated". Staff was wonderful, showed concern and the desire to make things right. However, the room we were moved to was still under repair - painter's tape on the trim, sash between bathroom tile and room carpet missing, bathroom toilet seat needed repair, etc. They should have offered to reduce the rate since the rooms were not up to par.

Hello Peter: I was disappointed reading your review, I know that you have stayed with us before and I am sorry that this time we did not live up to your expectations. I do understand how guests feel about the value vs cost, but I want to let you know that we are working very hard to get these rooms up to par, during your stay we sold every available room for the Friday and Saturday. I most certainly will do my best to make sure all rooms are guest ready in the future. Thank You for you comments. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Great Stay and location"
Location, location, location. Was in town for a wedding which was four blocks away. Room very clean. Great size. Had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Microwave, refrigerator. Desk and Chair. With an additional comfy chair. Small, but, nice breakfast area. The pool area was kept up and bright and cheery. I would definitely come back and stay at this location!

Kello Karen : I want to apologize for your most recent stay with us, We did not live up to your standards nor mine. I must first address the condition of the room, I am very sorry about the fridge, we will be soon getting all new refrigerators and microwaves. All rooms are slated for total renovation. The Ants I am sorry to say are a condition from all the rain that we have had here over the last month. I have had our pest control company here many, many times to address that problem, I have been told that the ants are searching for higher ground and our pest service is aware and are doing the best they can. Please do come back when in the area and you will see the changes. Marcy Deering, General Manager
"Need to redo rooms"
The staff was great. Several rooms (the ones we stayed in) were very moldy smelling. No hooks in the bathroom for towels, etc.. Rooms were not well-lighted, even with 4-5 lights. Upstairs room we checked out smelled of stale cigarette smoke. Continental breakfast was nice. A few ants crawling around on the nightstand.

After a nightmare at Daytona Bestwestern Casa Del Sol. I was afraid this was going to another dump. I was surprised!!! Very pleasant and helpful staff. The room was clean and updated. Love the new bathrooms! Very convenient to beach and restaurants. Did not try the breakfast but it smelled very good. The only issue was there was no trash can in our room. We will stay here again.

"Under Construction "
While I understand that hotels need renovation noisy saws and cutting and banging should be confined to a few hours during the day. Currently management at the front desk tells me that they stop by 9 pm. This turns an otherwise great little place right across from the beach into a construction zone. Stay away for now unless you hate peace and quiet.

Hello Alan M: I was so sad to read that the renovations has been a problem for you and your stay. I know that the construction/renovations team has been working until 7:30pm or so.

Please come again when all the renovations are complete to see the difference. Marcy Deering, General Manager
