This property is absolutely adorable! The care, attention, and painstaking love put into this property is noticeable in all of the little details and personal touches everywhere. I adored the local coffee in the lobby as well. My husband and I had an amazing stay. My only (little) complaints were the stiffness of the mattress, and the finicky door access at night/early morning. However, the hotel lets you know about the issues with the doors, so it's on me for not requesting a physical key after checking in.

Quaint and perfect for my date night. It's like a South Beach Miami hotel on the Island. Food and drink all around it. We stayed in the smaller room and chose the larger one. Easy parking, bikes to use... fresh ground expresso, cappuccino , coffee machine in lobby. Fresh tacos across the road. I would recommend this hotel and stay again.

Stayed for a very brief visit to St. Augustine. Super cute hotel. Love the retro Florida beachy theme. Check in and room key via the app is super easy. Leila was available to us via text if we needed any additional assistance and was very nice and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Super cute place that was clean and safe. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was how thin the walls are & beds are a little too firm. Whoever was above us woke us up at 3:30am one night and 5am the next and you could hear the shower running next door clear as day but it was VERY clean and in a good location.

This hotel is adorable - I was a little nervous it would be loud or not as cute as it is online but it exceeded my expectations in every way. If St. Augustine isn't enough of a draw, this hotel might be enough to bring me back again. Loved it and wish I had had more time to spend at the pool just lounging.

What A Joke..NOT Humorous At All!

The app mobile key only granted me access to the lobby, NOT my room! With no human staff on premises, and multiple phone calls unanswered.. I had to scramble to find alternative lodging, losing hours of my priceless time and sleep! If you like to gamble and put your trust in amateur technology.. You may be sleeping elsewhere, or possibly in your car... But at least those doors open!

You get what you pay for

No on site assistance whatever. Forced use of app. For keyless entry that did not work. Free cappuccino broadly advertised but machine broken. Pool broadly advertisly and towel shelf labeled but always empty. No information online of any use for getting assistance. I would suggest if all you need is a bed, this is an okay place for you.

Clean. Cute theme, which was coordinated inside and out. No staff on sight, but was prompt and courteous help by phone. I really wanted to love this place, and recommend it: but… Terrible check in system!!! App wouldn’t work, spent way too much of my time in advance, day before, and day off trying to get it to work. Still was a failure. Mattress needs replaced! Maybe okay if you weigh 100lbs or less. Both of our backs are sore, from two nights of the mattress!

Won’t be back.

I’ve been staying here regularly for over a year on an almost monthly basis. It just gets worse and worse and I won’t be back again. The big issue is there key system. You have to download an app, upload ID. Sometimes the auto key works and sometimes it doesn’t. The link once sent me to a fishing trap that subscribed me. I have had neighbors trying to break down their own doors at 2am to the point where I was going to call the police. Currently waiting in the sun and humidity on a Sunday morning for a maintenance person to show up and let me in. No manager or help on site. I have tried to hang in there with this cute boutique motel but I’m done. Didn’t even get into the worn out towels, bad mattresses and backed up drains. They need to address these issues. Ratings are going down and you are losing regulars.

I stayed 3 nights. I never had warm water for a shower. No manager on site. Phone number always 'busy'. First text said "they were aware" of the problem. No fixing. No resolution. No compensation. I waited 6 days before writing this review hoping they would make things right. Nope. Digital hotels w/ no humans to interface with makes it easier for owners to ignore the customer. Lesson learned.

Cute and easy place to stay.

This was a great place to stay to have somewhere to lay your head down after having fun in St . Augustine. I was skeptical about staying at a place without a front desk. I'm millennial so still comfy with technology, but still, I thought, how could it be the same experience? Actually it was better. Instead of having some person at the front desk tell me they'll address something at some point later, I was able to text about the one issue I had and got fast resolution Some reviews talk about the street noise, but I live downtown in a major US City and it definitely wasn't that kind of loud. There's a white noise machine available, though I always travel with one anyway. It was very clean in the room. My kids enjoyed the pool. We were close to everything we wanted to do. The coffee was easy to get in the morning downstairs and there's a convenience store across the road. Should my travels bring me back, I would book again. My husband encountered a fellow in the parking lot who pulled in and asked what it was like to stay there as he was looking for a place to stay for several days, and he recommended it as a nice spot
