This was our second hotel to stay at in St. Augustine. We checked out of our prior hotel, looking for one that was quieter with more comfortable beds. The Budget Inn fit this criteria perfectly and was priced more reasonable that many other options. The owners are very friendly, the place clean, the rooms updated, free parking and the location ideal for our needs. The hotel is located near the Bridge of Lions. Walking over the bridge and into downtown St. Augustine took about 12 minutes. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this motel. My fiance and I wanted to spend the night in St. Augustine but didn't want to break the bank. All of the other hotels were $400 or more for 1 night on valentines evening. This budget inn came in at under $200 and seemed to have decent reviews and was next to the restaurant and bars we frequent. We also had the option to walk over the bridge of lions into downtown St Augustine, which maybe took 10 minutes. Our room was clean and had been updated. It did have some wear and tear but nothing major. This obviously isn't the ritz but if you are looking for a safe, clean, budget friendly option that is within walking distance to the bars/restaurants/sites on Anastasia island and Downtown historic St. Augustine this is a good spot. read more

Great bargain. No frills older small motel but spotlessly clean. Very friendly owners. Perfectly comfortable. 15 minute walk across Bridge of Lions to heart of downtown old St.Augustine. Park your car and don't move it again. Very good location. Strong WiFi, TV with many channels. No need to pay sky high prices just to be on the other side of bridge. Safe, quiet and calm. read more

Great location , great price, nice clean rooms. Family owned. Great customer service. We come every year and will continue to do so!!!!

Very friendly greeting upon arrival and departure. Renovated, clean, comfortable place to rest your head. No frills, but reasonably priced. Needed a place to sleep while a family member was in the hospital overnight. A bit noisy with traffic (bike week). I would definitely stay again in the future. read more

Surprisingly nice. Don't be put off by the name. In this case, budget doesn't mean sacrificing a clean and affordable and best of all enjoyable stay. Clean. Roomy. Quiet. Convenient. We enjoyed our stay, which has not always been the case at several of the other independently-owned motels around St Augustine. The owners are so pleasant. Both the husband who checked us in and his lovely wife who checked us out the next morning were very friendly. They obviously care for their property and for their customers. And unlike so many of the other independent owners we've encountered at most every one of the plethora of small independent motels scattered all over FL, this couple actually strives to make their customers feel welcome. We'll definitely keep this place at the top of our list when we come back to SA for future concerts at The Amp. Very nice. read more

Just over the bridge we were only going to stay one night. The room was so clean and the rates were so reasonable and I could park right in front of my door I stayed an extra day , I can't say enough good things except I will be going back the small place was excellent. read more

Quality exceeds price. Crisp clean King Size bed. Walls, floor, furniture and headboard are modern and all CLEAN. It's July and a literal heatwave but I wouldn't have known bcuz A/C is ice cold. Coffee maker with delicious coffee. Freezer fridge. Let's talk about the bathroom... my favorite part. HUGE walk in shower. Floor to ceiling marble print tile. Best shower head ever with fantastic pressure. Water Spicket style sink faucet, clean sink n toilet. Plenty clean towels. 5 minute walk to downtown. $70 per night.. can't be beat. read more

Great location,the other side of the bridge,ten minutes away from historical St Augustine which is wonderful but it's nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of such a popular tourist town and see a different side of the area.The hotel has friendly management and staff.Rooms are kept up nicely.There's a tiny"park " where life can play,good parking and,even though on the main drag the traffic noise isn't bad at all.Recommend it to anyone..plenty of bars,restaurants,cafés in walking distance. read more

Regardless of the price paid, you won't find a cleaner hotel. The management is friendly and accommodating. We look forward to coming back.

Good value. Clean & friendly. Stayed 3 nights in January, to explore St. Augustine for the first time. Great location; about 15-20 minutes walk across the bridge to old town St. Augustine. Check-in was quick and friendly, and the staff was available for assistance if needed. It's a basic hotel, but the room was modern and clean, and enough room for two people. The street noise from passing traffic isn't bad, but if you are a light sleeper, earplugs do the trick. I'd recommend and stay there again. read more

Deb W This was one of my better stays at a motel. I have stayed at higher cost motels and received less care and attention. Don't let the name deceive you...Budget Inn is "budget friendly" but not "budget service"! The owners went up and beyond everything we expected! Rooms have been newly updated and are CLEAN! The beds are very comfortable! And like mentioned before ... the customer service, customer awareness goes up and beyond many of my other motel stays at other places. What more could you ask for? Well done Sam and Bobby! Well done. read more

Very clean. Very quiet, almost soundproof. Beyond expectations and past experiences at other hotels. Very easy drive to downtown over the Lion's bridge yet at a fraction of the cost of staying on the downtown side of the bridge. Best of all was the customer service. Both of the owners were incredibly accommodating and helpful with whatever was needed. The only caution which was mentioned in someone's else's review is if you have multiple rooms reserved and need to cancel one, their system seems to cancel all of them. A simple solution was to call them on the way there and they promptly restored our other 2 room reservations. So, while their automated reservation system seems to have a glitch, their friendly and happy customer service effortlessly corrects for that glitch. We will be back to visit St. Augustine and we will definitely stay at the Budget Inn. I can't think of any reason to stay anywhere else. read more

I see people that complain about this place but I think they are just picky people. Take into consideration this is not a 5 star hotel. It is a nice, clean, and as the name says budget friendly motel. The staff is very friendly and professional. You are a ten minute walk across the bridge from all kinds of stores and things to do. I'd highly recommend for a cheaper nice stay that's close to a lot of things to do. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Wonderful place to stay. It's walking distance to everything! Super clean and the hotel staff was Awesome! Also they have a cute sitting area outside under the stars, very lovely. Underrated for sure. read more

This was surprisingly a great place! Clean room, excellent service, and great price. The family that runs it are committed to their guest and try to make every stay a great one. Excellent location as it was a 10 minute scenic walk to downtown over the bridge of lions. Room was great. We were very comfortable. Would recommend to bring slippers as floor is tile and can be cold at nights. read more

Great Mom & Pop place to stay for an overnight in St. Aug. Doesn't look like much on the outside but most everything on the inside is new. Great mattresses, huge shower, good AC, and convenient parking. Lots of restaurants nearby. Its a nice walk over the bridge into downtown. If you have lots of electronics you may be searching for an outlet or two. Family who runs motel is very nice. Check in/out is a snap. They still do everything on paper! read more

The room has no carpet, which is great for allergy sufferers. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in a long time. The bed and the room was more comfortable than Windgate at St Augustine. The room was clean and well kept. Nice job with the cleanliness. Will definitely come back to this one again. read more

I booked the budget inn from booking.com. This is not the flashiest hotel but if you need some where that is relatively cheap and close to historic St Augustine then this place is for you. Located a 1 min from the lions bridge and less than 10 mins over the bridge to the historic sights. It also has a couple of restaurants that are with in walking distance. The room (119) itself was basic. My room had a king bed, tea / coffee facilities, mini fridge microwave, TV with cable and wifi. Aircon was and old school type and a little noisy but did the trick. Dead lock door with chain. Toilet moved when you sat on it but didn't leak. Shower was great. Hot with good pressure. Overall, clean nothing flash and relatively good price. read more

Lots of parking available. Room was more spacious than expected, very clean and comfortable. clean bathrooms. Comfortable bed. I felt safe. Very nice walking distance to downtown, about 10 minutes but it's a lovely walk along the bridge. The AC us extremely noisy but that's the only complaint. Very good price. read more

You cant get a better room for the price. Good location, clean room. Would recommend definitely recommend. But maybe not some place you would stay if you're looking for something special. read more

Very clean. Older rooms but shower/bathroom was updated and very nice. Beds were ver comfortable. Excellent prices, did not want to spend all our money on hotels and this is great. Walked over to main drag a couple times. Will stay here again read more

Roaches in the room and the staff steals. I stayed at the Budget Inn on 12 Anastasia blvd in St. Augustine, Florida 32080. Their house keeper stole money out of my wallet that was left in my suitcase in my room. They went through all the pockets and even took out my emergency cash. When I called and spoke with the manager/owner he stated that he is friends with the housekeeper and they would not do that. I explained several times that no one was in the locked room that day except housekeeping he continued to refuse to do anything about this. There are coach roaches in the mildew infested bathrooms and then hire staff goes through your luggage and steals from the guests. They should be shut down. I have reported them to the Better Business Bureau and the local police department. read more

The owner was INCREDIBLY rude. No customer service skills at all. I have truly never had such a bad experience with a hotel in my life. Do not stay here!!! read more

1960's style Motor court, Room 126; two double beds, 3/4 bath, microwave, mini fridge, TV, AC, WiFi. Made our reservation through hotels.com the day of our stay. Our rate was under $100, and the Inn is within walking distance of the Bridge of Lions. After reading a few questionable reviews, we expected a no-frills room with basic amenities. The attendant was courteous and efficient. The grounds were tidy. Upon entering our room, I noticed some wear on the metal door as if it may have been kicked in at some point (could also be attributed to my active imagination). The door did shut well and lock tight (deadbolt and door chain). At 5'2" I could not see out the door peephole, but we could see the door well enough from our front window had we needed to. The room smelled clean. Not the too-much-disinfectant what-are-you-hiding kind of clean, either... Just clean. The bedroom floor had recently been tiled. The bathroom still has the original wall & floor tile and it's in great shape. Again, clean. The shower faucet was tricky at first. You have to let the hot water run a minute to get to you, then add cold to your liking. Plenty of water pressure. The provided soap and shampoo leave a bit to be desired but would do the trick if you forgot to pack your own. The towels were soft, fluffy, and WHITE, although just standard size. Again, clean. The sleeping quarters... Our AC unit was a little loud. The fridge didn't get really cold (probably needed to be turned down). The flat screen TV worked perfectly. The WiFi worked well enough to save our phones from using data, but may not have been strong enough for Netflix (we didn't have a laptop to check it out). The double beds were modestly comfortable. The beds are firm with just a little cushion on top. (The kind of bed you'd put in your guest room to make your guest comfortable, but not encourage them to overstay their welcome.) The bed linens were clean and crisp and soft. The pillows were heavenly. We would not hesitate to stay here again. read more

Super clean, updated and laid back! Every staff member we encountered was kind and patient! Great location- walking distance to mainland and everything beachside. Will stay here again! read more

When I stayed here, I was really just looking for the cheapest place to stay in St Augustine and it really exceeded my expectations. It looks like a much older Inn from the outside, but the rooms were recently redone and were very clean and comfortable on the inside. The staff was very friendly and check in was a breeze. I would highly recommend! read more

This place is awesome for the price. I was expecting it to be run down, but it is newly painted and decorated. It is old, and not the fanciest, but I wasn't expecting fancy or I would have went to the Hilton or somewhere else. The front desk staff are really nice. The inn is a short walk across the bridge into downtown. Overall very nice and way better than I expected. read more

Made a reservation that I had to cancel. Was told there wasn't a fee for cancelling, cancelled and was charged for 2 nights. They would not accommodate by any means. read more

Awesome hotel very clean and we were well taken care of by the staff. I highly recommend

We are staying here for our honeymoon while we explore St Augustine, and the service here is great! The lady that was at the front desk and checked us in was super sweet and gave us great ideas of what to do while here! The rooms are renovated and updated. So much more than I was expecting considering how affordable this hotel is! When we come back to stay we will be renting a room from here time and time again. Thanks for the awesome stay guys!! read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE, very rude staff. I was so disappointed with this motel. I would not recommend this place to anyone i like. You should not stay here read more

We were looking for a cheap nights stay while in St. Augustine that would accommodate our two medium sized dogs and found the Budget Inn. It is not a classy or fancy motel, but the price was affordable ($75) for the night. We paid a refundable $20 cash as long as the room was not destroyed. The location was nice, just a short walk to the main square over the bridge and we got our pet deposit back the next day. The owners are nice but some of the tenants are sketchy, but you get what you pay for. read more

This was the only bad experience I actually have ever had at hotel. When I arrived I noticed some shady characters that made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to give it a chance. There was a couple near our room that were on some type of drugs. Acting erratic and weird. Several of the guests would just hang outside there rooms like they were living there. When we came home to sleep and got out of our cab my boyfriend noticed a couple having sex behind a building. They were so oblivious to us they walked right by us and we saw the mans genitals. On top of all that the room was not that clean and the toilet screamed every time you flushed it for a good 20-30 seconds. It was just awful. I couldnt sleep feeling uncomfortable to even be there and we got out of there the next day. read more

Just stayed there last weekend. An older motel with enough updates it is like a "boutique" motel. Clean, comfy, with just enough charm and style. The owner works the front desk, and are a great help in learning about the area and what to do. Looks like they filled in a pool, they could do more with the space. Close enough to walk to the main tourist area if you want. I would stay again. read more

I made a reservation for Budget Inn in St. Augustine through Booking.com. On the day of my arrival, the hotel canceled my reservation. When I asked why, they told me that there was a problem with my credit card. I asked why, if there was a problem with my card I was not called by the hotel? I was told that there policy was to inform Booking.com. When I checked my email I had received an email from Booking.com at 5:16 pm on that day telling me that there was a problem. At 6:07 I had received an email cancellation. When I called the hotel, the person on the phone at Budget Inn could not have cared less or been more rude. Perhaps they have issues with Booking.com but that is no reason to take it out their potential guests. My vacation was ruined by Budget Inn. Stay away at all costs. read more

This place has but one thing going for it: Location, location, location! It's located just across the bridge from downtown St Augustine. The room was dirty. The walls were sticky. There were broken fixtures in the bathroom. The windows would not open. Each mattress had a large and deep trench-like hole that was impossible to sleep on and effectively turning the beds in to singles. There were odd long-term renters in residence excluding the guy next to our room who was dressed like a pirate and drank beer all day long outside his (and our) room. The place is billed as a two-star but is anything but. DO NOT STAY THERE!! read more
