Good Value
Check in was quick. Room was clean and we were offered a room on the back side so we were away from the noise from the highway traffic. Breakfast was also great, making our stay affordable.

Older but affordable
Motel appears to be a little older, but is well kept and clean. Nice property grounds. We arrived in the middle of the night, so it took a few minutes to get someone to the counter, but other than that, it was a good night stay.

Comfortable, Quiet, & Clean
Very comfortable beds, clean, quiet despite being near main roads, and convenient to restaurants. Shaded play area was a nice surprise. Very good hot breakfast included. Would definitely stay here again when visiting St Augustine (downtown parking deck is only 15 minutes away).

Basic But Clean Comfortable & Reasonable
I have stayed here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Nice breakfast and friendly service. You can't beat the price for value. Next to Rt 95 and only 15 minutes from Historic St. Augustine.

Decent breakfast options- cereal, waffles, 2 kinda of eggs, sausage, and breads.
Comfortable bed and pillow in a very clean room. No carpet in unit which is nice for those with allergies.
