Affordable and accessible motel with a vibrant style of colors. Loved the flamingos everywhere haha and the cool painting inside our room of St. Augustine. Quiet and very polite staff. A minute walk to the beach and about 4-5 min to the Publix and some cool dining options. Nice stay, would come again when visiting St. Augustine and Vilano Beach.

It was very clean and the staff was excellent especially Champayne. The price was reasonable. I went with my sister who was sick and the stairs to the 2nd floor were just too much. The coffee maker in the room was so small if we went again we would bring our own next time. The coffee they supplied was gross. There was a jacuzzi but there were no bars or rails to help get out of the tub which we found scary. Even if your not handicapped its good to have a bar or rail to hold onto. I would highly recommend staying here unless your handicapped or have trouble getting up and down the stairs or in and out of the tub. I would go again.

Great oldie but goodie
Great stay. Office staff was extremely awesome. We love staying here. The only kickback was the towels smelled moldy and there was some mold on the wall which I know can be an issue for hotels on the beach.

Nice place
The motel itself is certainly a little dated but overall the price for what you get was great. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Would still recommend to anyone just looking for a reasonable price to lay their head beachside!

Nice little place for the money.
The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The room is cute! For the price, it’s worth it. The only complaint I had was that the ocean was not closer. But we could see it around buildings and hear it with our door open so that worked! We will stay again!

It's an old school Florida motel. Rooms have age but also personality. If that is what you are looking for, it's a good one among the 10s of old motel I stayed at in Florida. Old but well maintained. Great staff. Amazing location. More than fair priced for a location 100 feet from the beach. Small restaurant options in a walkable distance. But many great options within 10 min drive. 12 minutes from old St. Augustine.

This property could really be something, it could really capitalize on it's kitsch but instead it is just another run down motel albeit one with a cute neon sign (although two of the bunnies are burned out). I had high hopes for this stay because we have stayed at similar properties that are old but made the effort to make themselves special by making minor cosmetic improvements and having a cool vibe. The cooktop in the kitchen of our unit was absolutely disgusting, the microwave lining was peeling away to reveal what looked to be rust or the metal casing beneath the inner material, the bathroom wasn't exactly sparkling, the furniture was old and musty and when I opened the dresser the forgotten clothes of the former guest were still there. Having to fish out someone's obviously worn socks and underwear is not my idea of a vacation. The only good part of the room was the bed seemed newish and was comfortable but the idea of bedbugs did cross my mind. This room was nowhere near the caliber it needed to be at the pricepoint I paid. I could have stayed at a nearby motel for $67 per night, it couldn't have been any worse than this and half the price I paid. Also, the pool was not well maintained, peeling surfaces and no towels at the pool and no umbrellas, chairs were dirty. As I said, for this pricepoint they should make some improvements. Very disappointed at the price I paid. Also my reservation said paid in full- I checked before arrival- yet was charged upon check in.
