The location of this hotel couldn't be better. Within walking distance to just about every attraction, the trolley tour ticket wasn't necessary. When you think of the money you're saving on the trolley tickets (about 20 bucks a person), 18 per night for valet parking doesn't seem too bad.
On the other hand, if you are hoping for a stunning view or huge resort style pool, this isn't the hotel you want. The water is visible from the front rooms, but so is the main road. The pool is the size of a home swimming pool, clean, but not large. It was perfect for my mom, my husband and I, but it's not the kind of hotel where you would stay the entire day hanging out at the pool or eating in the cafe, etc.
I recommend this hotel if you want to see all the sights of historic St. Augustine and be able to walk back to the hotel and plop down to relax for a few minutes in between things. It was perfect for pit stops and quick swims in the pool.
