Always a bit nervous booking online but this independent motel was wonderful. They have a free full onsite prepared breakfast, free shuttle to downtown and homemade brownies every afternoon. Those are over and above the usual, but the usual was very nice also. Don’t be afraid to book unless you need elegant.

Family trip with Fur babies

This was our second time staying at Southern Oaks Inn. It was good for a short stay near the hustle and bustle of St Augustine (about a 5 - 10min drive). We brought our bikes and pedaled into the heart and history of St. Augustine. We love that it is Pet Friendly, it makes a big difference when planning our trips. This hotel offers a dog bed (our dogs loved it) and dog bowl (we appreciate this thought). It’s a bit of an older hotel, however, given this was our second time, we saw the changes from the last time. They’ve done a great job with the upgrades =) At the time of check in they provide you a list of pet friendly places to eat and visit in the St Augustine area. Pet fee is $25 per day (EXTREMELY REASONABLE, compared to what we have seen for other hotels). We will definitely come back to the area and stay here =)

If you want a motel 6 room for the price of a Hilton this is it. Property was clean however the room was much to be desired. Furniture looked like they picked it up at goodwill, scratches on everything, 2seater looked like something you wouldn’t sit on No lamps in the bedroom, no decorations on walls. Not even a mirror in the bedroom. Then they charge an additional $25 for a bs service fee, so I guess the free breakfast really isn’t free. Just another rip off tourist trap. Stay away!!!!

Staff are great. Proximity to noisy road was a little challenging as well as some of the other guest's barking dogs. Cleaning staff entered our room despite their being a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. They charge the full amount as well as a $100 incidental fee (supposed to be refunded). Room was outdated and smelled musty. I would recommend for the relative proximity to downtown area.

The heat- a/c in the room was not working as it had been unplugged due to load noise and shaking of the unit. Also only one electric outlet in the room for charging and it was in the bathroom. Alarm clock had a plug but did not function. We had a king size bed we stay in a lot of hotels and it was one of the worst beds. The staff was nice and tried to be helpful. Breakfast could be improved upon

Southern Oaks Delivered!

Southern Oaks was awesome. The price was excellent, the room very nice, breakfast was good, the staff was great, and the free shuttle to the Visitors Center was an added bonus. We will be coming back!

My husband and I loved this property. It is very clean, well maintained, and the staff are very friendly. The free breakfast, included much more than most hotels. And they offer free transportation… An enclosed shuttle to the historic district and back. We will definitely return to this place.
