Don’t bother staying here

I was very disappointed. This motel used to be amazing but since the name change there is no continental breakfast. There’s no free waters. There’s absolutely no incentives for any guest anymore.the price on this place is always higher than even the Hilton next door. So upon arrival I waited 30 min to check in very slow counter lady and when I got to my room it felt hot. The a/c situation is not ideal with zero upgrades to make the rooms feel cold . Very old units .we had the front door leaking in the hot air so we moved rooms. Upon getting into the new room the ac was worse room was hot and it smelled like cigarette smoke bad bad so we tried another room on the 2nd floor and hear rises so the room was to hot . We gave up and went to a motel across from the old Santa Maria and that place was great and way cheaper with Continental, breakfast, free water, free cookies, friendly staff. But another reason why I left was in the rooms on the ground floor ppl are sitting out side the rooms smoking non stop and I could not get away from the smell . It’s like a trashy corner . So I would rather the motel not allow smoking at the pool area and make ppl walk to the rd so we all don’t suffer smelling it . So this place definitely is taking a dive in the wrong direction

Room 212 the worst! They pick up the trash every day at 7 am, plus they have all the tools next to that room and the employees are on the room talking and was always very noisy

Perfect place to stay!

The staff at this hotel were wonderful. We were treated as valued guests from the moment we checked in. Our room wasn’t large but recently renovated and well laid out so it didn’t feel crowded. Everything was spotless clean and in good working condition. The location is perfect! Everything is within walking distance. About a 2 minute walk to Castillo de San Marcos fort. The trolley stops right in front of the hotel. We had our choice of multiple great restaurants within a 2 block radius. We’ll definitely be back again!

Great Location!

The location can't be beat and the common area overlook is a great place to watch the main road and river activities. Close to the best restaurants and bars and Castillo de San Marco.
