It is a dead area for cell signals. I couldn't use my hot spot. The hotel did not have internet for almost 3 days. I work remotely so I had to leave my room to work. It is a small and very quiet hotel. It charges a daily parking fee but they are not responsible if anything happens to your car. It is not worth paying full price.

Convenient location, spacious room, nice staff
This was our second trip to the St. Augustine area and our first stay with the Castillo Real. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and our stay was pleasant. The hotel is undergoing some renovations, so there was construction noise between 9a-5p each day (we knew this before arriving). Our room had a few quirks - the sink area was lit with a floor lamp instead of a traditional vanity, the floor had a transition that wasn't level, and there was only one towel hook in the bathroom, with none near the sink. The shower water was always warm, but never got super hot. All of this may have been due to the construction in process, but it was a little odd. The bed was comfy, the room spacious, and the experience nice. The location is great - very easy to access and get in/out. The beach is an easy walk, and whether you're going to stay at the beach or visit parts of St. Augustine, the hotel is very conveniently located. We'd gladly stay here again.

The property restaurant is closed/under renovation, (as is much of the hotel), the hot tub didn't work and they immediately charged you per day for parking at check in. Night staff said they'd get someone in morning to look at hot tub. Spoke to day manager next day and they had no pass down of the issue and said they'd also have someone fix it but it was never fixed over the entire weekend. Has potential to be a nice hotel but is poorly run.

I was overall pleased with the hotel. However, I was disappointed that the breakfast that was supposed to be included is not actually included because the restaurant is closed. Also, there was only decaf coffee in my room. It was too late to swap it out when I realized it close to checkout time. The amount spent for the one night stay should have included the breakfast that was Advertised as included.

Our stay in the executive suite was below average overall. While the room was spacious, it was clearly worn with heavily used furniture that’s in need of an update. The cleanliness of the room could have been better, as it didn’t feel as fresh as we’d hoped. The front desk staff, however, was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made a positive impression. Unfortunately, the on-site restaurant was closed during our stay, which was disappointing. Additionally, be warned—parking on the property comes with a $10 fee, which we weren’t expecting. Overall, an okay experience, but improvements to the rooms, better communication about the restaurant closure, and transparency about parking fees would go a long way.

My stay at Castillo Real was a disaster. The hotel is under construction, but this crucial detail was buried in the fine print on Expedia, and their website gave no proper warning. My "Executive Queen Suite" turned out to be a standard queen room with none of the promised amenities—no separate rooms or ocean view, just a city view and a space that felt like a construction zone. The website misleadingly featured photos of a luxurious tub, but my room had an unfinished shower with no space for soap, no full-length mirror, no towel racks, and nearly bare walls. When I asked the reception, I was told my room was still under renovation—something they never disclosed during booking. Housekeeping was by request only, which would have been acceptable if it were the only issue. However, being charged $500 for a room that was incomplete and not as advertised is outrageous. The hotel's response was to waive a $20 parking fee as compensation, which felt like a joke. After complaining via Expedia, I was refunded only $50—far from enough for such a disappointing experience.

We did enjoy our stay, however, our room was awkward. So much room without a comfortable TV watching area. We had to pull chairs up front, I know the front desk said they’re still remodeling, but the room felt very bare and not very cozy.

I thought this was an excellent choice based on overall appeal, beach access and proximity to restaurants, morning/evening strolls. Although the property is under construction, this was still a very nice stay for the price. The room was very spacious and clean. A few minor "must haves" would be shower caddy or shelving. There was nothing to hold soap, shampoo, etc. With such large rooms, a loveseat or lounger. The location makes up for the construction in my opinion and I will definitely stay here again.

Pleasant Stay
This isn’t a big busy fancy hotel , Which was perfect, besides the updating construction going on ( we didn’t hear a thing ) and new restaurant coming not open yet. The hotel was pleasant and staff was polite and informative. The only thing that needs addressed was there is no direct light in the bathroom only thru the door opened where the toilet and shower was , which didn’t make sense but the pool was pleasantly clean and cool! We will definitely stay here again can’t wait for all the renovations and restaurant space to open. If you don’t like crowds this hotel is a nice romantic spot and a short walk to the beach, to watch the Sunrise!

Loved beachside location; very convenient to beach and restaurants. Property advertised renovations but I didn't see anything about paying to park which I totally disagree with at any hotel. Very spacious room and comfortable bed; we would stay here again no problem

Here's a revised version of your review with the addition: --- We had a terrible experience at this hotel. As soon as we walked in, there was dust everywhere from the ongoing construction. When we reached our room, we found it filled with flies. To make matters worse, the pillows were heavily stained, and when we checked underneath, we found hair all over, likely from the previous guests. We reported this to management, who promised to have the room cleaned. However, when we returned, the same pillows were merely propped up to look as if they'd been changed, and the sheets still had the hair and stains. To top it all off, we encountered a giant cockroach scattering across our room. This was easily one of the most unsanitary and appalling hotel experiences I've ever had.
