I stayed two nights at Smart stay. I had to make a quick trip to St Augustine. I've stayed there before for one night. I initially had reservations for one night but the staff was great about getting me booked for the second night at a good rate. The beds are very very comfortable. The rooms have been redone. My bath was a walk-in shower as I requested. It did have a view of the pool and I worried about noise. I shouldn't have worried I didn't hear anything. If I need to go back down to St Augustine, I will stay there again.

I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel for sure. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the court yard that consisted of a pool, hot tub, and grill. Also there was a area for pets as well as smokers. My next visit to the area I will definitely be staying here. Thanks again to everyone who made my stay amazing!

Swimming pool was fantastic and area was clean. King size room did not have light bulbs in the desk lamp making it hard to do any computer work. Will inform staff this a.m.

A/C was amazing, and the Breakfast was delicious. But that COFFEE was the best I have had in any establishment in a long time. And don't get me started on the beds. I slept like a baby. Those beds are soft and very comfortable. This place is on the outskirts of the St. Augustine but it's only a short drive to everything. We are definitely staying here again when we come back to St. Augustine.
