I am travelling again to Flager beach in a few weeks and went on line to book a hotel. I came across the Topaz, and saw some postive reivews which surprised me. Let me share my experiences there at christmas time. I stayed there over the hoiday. The room was filthy, smelled like an animal cage, it was in poor... more

This is probably the nicest dog friendly motel in Flagler. I drove past the others, they looked pretty dumpy. The staff is friendly, the lobby is eclectic, and the pool is nice. Too warm, but nice. It's right on the beach and the rooms have nice views. We got a smoking room as that was all they had vacant, but... more

This room was like most rooms in Flagler Beach- no frills, kind of run down. The room was not pretty but adequate, except for the beds. Concrete seemed nice and comfy after one night on these things. I would never stay in this motel again more

If you leave in the evening and come back, you have no where to park because the restaurant patrons park in front of the motel. Also we noticed the employees parked right in front of the rooms instead of across the parking lot.The restaurant on site is a joke, trying to be some upscale place,way overpriced. One thing I noticed... more

St. Augustine has been an annual destination for many years. In the past I have most often stayed Saturday night in downtown St. Augustine but thought I'd like to try something new. That something new was the Topaz. at Flagler Beach. We were not disappointed. The woman at the front desk was lovely and friendly and if the weather had... more

Like another reviewer mentioned, I don't understand the favorable reviews of this hotel at all! Anyway…this was the most awful motel. Where do I begin? The room looked like it hadn't been updated since the 60's. It was used and abused for generations and showed every bit of the wear and tear. It smelled funny, the carpet was unbelievably filthy... more

I've made many trips to Flagler Beach as a very close friend lives there, directly behind the Topaz as a matter of fact. It wasn't going to work out staying with him this time, so we booked a room at the Topaz. The rooms were nice and clean and the entire staff very friendly and accommodating. The motel rooms are... more

What's nice about this motel is its location directly across from the beach, but it is not your standard hotel experience. It is not modern or updated. It's not a Marriott or Hilton, etc. The main room-entryway with its Victorian decor is stuffy (beware allergy-asthma sufferers), and it is full of quirky photos and old toys on the shelves, some... more

We stayed here for my sister's wedding and was pleasantly surprised with the motel. I read a lot of reviews before we went b/c there aren't many pics of the motel on the internet. It was extremely clean, the pool was nice, and the price is great. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel, this isn't it, but if... more
