The room was very clean. At check in the staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and those serving were wonderful! They made you feel welcome.
The room was spotless. The staff was amazing! The customer service was absolutely phenomenal. The owner was even helping to serve breakfast. Will definitely stay here again the next time we visit.
Appreciated the helpful and friendly check in staff, room cleanliness, and breakfast quality. The outside tables next to the coffee shop was nice as the breakfast area opened up outside towards the beach side. Nice central location, within short walking distance to the beach and the grocery store, and short drive to downtown St. Augustine. We took advantage of the downtown shuttle parking for the Nights of Lights.

The room was clean and nice. The staff who stood out more than any was the Man that was at breakfast time. He was very attentive and cleaning up plates that were on tables and always with a smile. His name I think was Farid.

The room was spotless. The staff was so warm and welcoming. We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The staff was wonderful and the room was very clean. Large balcony. Nice breakfast, they had real milk and half & half for coffee, not those little fake creamers and liked that it had a Keurig machine in the room!

We had a great stay. The room was clean and had a balcony. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I’d also like to give a special thanks to the staff working the breakfast, they were excellent!
It was was a small but nice property. It was so close to the beach and also all conveniently locate to all the areas draws. It was quiet and clean. Great hot breakfast too.
My first time visiting this city and i loved my stay at the hotel! So glad i booked my room at this hotel! The most friendly staff I've ever met. My room was clean and organized. I slept really good. The pillows were so comfy as well. The pool was awesome and it's heated! My family and I had fun swimming! I loved how they offered free breakfast and the options were delicious! Only thing i was annoyed was the amount of bees that was outside 😂 other than that I highly recommend this hotel.
They had everything from cinnamon buns, turkey sausage to fruit, cereal and yogurt. We were served fresh fruit as we ate our breakfast. The customer service in the restaurant was superb with friendly staff and owners. The best Holiday Inn Express that we’ve ever stayed in. Can’t wait to go back.
