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.

Thin walls, louder stay than expected.

Room was very clean but sadly the walls were thin. We could hear every word in the adjoining room. We could hear a lot of noise from the hallway and highway close by. Additionally the TV channels were very limited.

Pleasant stay

Cute little motel. We had a ground floor handicap room so parking was in front of our room. Room was clean. Amenities were available. Our room faced I95 so there was a lot of road noise but earplugs blocked it out. Breakfast was typical poached and scrambled eggs, cereal, sausage and waffles. Staff needs to do a better job of keeping the breakfast area tidy.
