    This little hotel is so pretty and clean. Reception area a bit small but classy. Our room was clean and cozy. There have a pool in the front of the hotel with a jacuzzi, they both close at down. Conveniently located close to restaurants and bars a walk away. The view of the water from our room was a plus.

    First visit to this hotel and 5 stars all around. Valet was attentive at check in area and bellman and front desk staff were hospitable and efficient. We were lucky with short notice to get a front facing end room and were able to see the 4th of July fireworks from our room and hear the music that went on most of the day: Single pane windows could use a cleaning. King bed was comfortable and whole room and bathroom was vinyl plank so no nasty carpeting. Make luggage movement easy and helps tremendously with allergies. Bathroom shower was very clean with ample towels. Shower had several rubber mats accessible to prevent slipping. Yeah! Good water pressure too. Higher toilet. All very well cleaned and updated. Housekeeping came in and refreshed towels and made the bed after the first night. Shocked!! Restaurant was between services so ordered from room service which took awhile but restaurant was slammed bc of so many people coming early for 7/4 fireworks show later in the evening. We were in no hurry to eat and fortunately food quality was very much worth the wait. Burger and the charred romaine salad and beef tips salads were all superb! Apple tarts were delivered in a second trip as they came out of the oven. Yummy! The bellman and car porters were prompt coming to help us check out when we left. Highly recommend!!!

    Located in a fantastic location with very nice rooms. NOTE - Parking is $40 a day! If I knew that in advance, I would have parked somewhere else. Located downtown walking distance to all shopping, restaurants, & waterfront so it's a great location. Bartenders & parking attendents were friendly & provided great service. Room was roomy & very nice. My only issues with the room was the toilet paper holder which did not keep the rolls on too well & the fact that when you want to turn the shower on, you just step in to turn it on getting cold water on yourself - that was not fun!

    First time stay here and you can't beat the location. You can walk to everywhere and the views of the water are nice. We just got a standard room with a king size bed and the room was fine, really no different than rooms in other Hiltons, although maybe a bit smaller. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were NOT. Bring your own pillow. The shower pressure was GREAT. We used the restaurant for breakfast and it was nice. We also used the pool, which was nice for a cool off. Disgusting guests threw cigarette butts in the pool which I cleaned out What is wrong with people?

    We have stayed in so many different places around town over the years and always thought this was a great location right on the water front when we would walk by. It has always been booked by the time we started making our plans so we were happy they had rooms this time. As I mentioned they are right on the water front and our room had a huge balcony that faced the water. You could say high to the folks walking along the sidewalk! Room was a tad small but that was fine as the balcony made up for it. The room was very nice though. Clean and cozy. The hotel itself is unique with a bar and a noted restaurant. There is also a lot of history here with some MLK references as well as a high water mark. Really loved our stay here. The staff was great and when we asked they delivered. Looking forward to staying here next year and hopefully getting the same room!

    If my review were based on Room and location it certainly would be 5 star. Service very mediocre- disappointing that staff at front desk seem very bitter, specifically Brandon. He was not welcoming at all and quite rude when requested an extra hour for late check out. However the location is everything! Balcony is a dream, right in front of the bay; excellent for people watching also LOL Room was very comfortable and fairly clean however a/c filter was grossly dirty. Fourth time staying at this hotel and truthfully would not stay at any other hotel in St Augustine. Hope some modifications are made to make it more pleasurable for future stays. Christmas decorations makes one feel like you're in the middle of a Christmas movie, so beautiful.

    Location is amazing! Just outside the hotel is the entire historic district, old fort, drawbridge all ready 4 u to explore. Couldn't b easier to walk around from here. Valet was fine. Pillows/bed were comfy. Staff was nice & tried to b helpful, but seemed overwhelmed/understaffed. That's where the positives end for me. Everything else was meh to bad & only compensated for b/c of the awesome location. First, this is only a Hilton in name. It is NOT ur typical Hilton experience, cleanliness, responsiveness, service level. Sounds like this is a franchise of Hilton (per an employee) so is not managed by Hilton corporate & it definitely shows! Felt like they r cutting corners. When entering the lobby, ur bombarded by the most overpowering potpourri smell I've ever experienced. If ur sensitive to smells, this is definitely not the place 4 u! Really really strong & consequently bad. R they covering up another smell? What is so bad they use this level of faux fragrance? Thought we'd eat breakfast at the hotel but couldn't even stand being in the lobby. Surely management must realize this smell is too much!? Had a room along the front walk so it had a porch/balcony. Really enjoyed having a place to walk out front & people watch. If ur short, may have trouble seeing over the wall (we had the high solid walls). Not sure why, but u can't go in/out porch to sidewalk. Would b super easy to add a room key scanner. Anyway, room & porch were fine. Room was a bit musty smelling, very little light & only window was the window in the door to the patio (door, not slider). Felt kind of like a basement, but we weren't spending much time there. Again, lots of non-Hilton details...musty room, headboards weren't sane height, dirty outside cushions, umbrella spoke poked through fabric, flags glued to top of balcony (I really liked the small American flags but odd they were glued to the top), really bad tile work in bathroom. Not sure whether I'd recommend staying here. If u like b & b feels & aren't a seasoned traveler, this might b fine. If ur expecting Hilton level service/quality, ur not going to find it here.

    When hotel is advertised under Hilton brand, and prouds itself with water front and historic district location, you would expect a better view for your money. $40 for the only available valet parking for this hotel tells you they think of hotel as a high price luxurious establishment. Then, maybe do not offer rooms with this view during construction? Very disappointed in Hilton, very

    Love this centrally located hotel! It is beautiful with an amazing staff! The pool is lovely and the restaurant (even though we didn't eat there) looked great and they had one of their chefs cooking in the lobby! We stayed there right before the Light the Night and this is the epicenter for the lights show! We went to a concert at the AMP and caught a ride with an Uber to the venue but to get an Uber or Lyft is a bit more tricky! Walk outside the venue a bit and have them meet you outside. Much easier and you can schedule a pickup time.

    Angel! Angel at the front desk was amazing...... Sol I thought. When my hotel was booked at a reasonable price and a gift card I had was used to pay for the room, but when it came time to check out no gift card was ran, I was charged double the amount told when I originally walked in and spoke to Angel. I live locally and we use to love staying here for staycations, but management Brandon was not helpful, Angel doesn't "recall" me coming in. Not hard to remember a guy wearing a veteran hat and in a sling because they just had rotator cuff surgery. Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT waste your money here! Management said there was nothing I could do and best of luck. Great to know this is how Hilton treats locals and military veterans. Shame on you and Hilton for treating locals and veterans this way.

    This is a beautiful hotel right in the heart of everything. We experienced no problems on our visit, the staff was friendly, and the valet was very on top of things. The breakfast on Sunday morning was outstanding and the portions were fantastic. I would recommend if you want a simple hotel, close to everything, and within distance to walk to pretty much every bar or hot spot in town.

    Great location, horrible room for almost $800 (after tax)- NOT TO MENTION, they almost TRIPLED THE RATE- TO A VETERAN - ON VETERANS DAY! Restaurant is mediocre at best and the staff have never heard of a sazerac before. I don't blame the restaurant staff, I'm 90% sure they had to make the food as well as serve and it's obvious they are trying their absolute best! Check in was quick and easy and the front desk person was very friendly, so all is well there. If you have luggage, good luck. You'll be fighting the doors trying to get your luggage through since there's no help and no way to prop them open. The room is tiny and outdated, but it's downtown St. Augustine with a balcony view so you can over look that. However, there are holes in the sticky, cheap laminate floor, the peep hole cover spins around next to the bathroom with the floor mats rolled up in the corner and not even placed in the shower for you. Save your money and stay at motel six for the same experience minus the price. Customer service initiated a claim and has not responded after telling me they'd respond by 11/15. On 11/17 they said try again in a couple days.

    Initial Reaction: My mom had initially stayed at the Casa Monica a while back. I had remembered…read morethis hotel was in downtown Saint Augustine, across from Flagler College, when we were going to spend the night in town. I'm glad we did, as we had a lovely night. The room was nice and spacious, with odd closets, but they worked for the time we were spending there. They also had robes if we needed to be bougie and prance around. We slept well and had a nice view of the square between the Lightner Mansion and Flagler College. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. They gave good recommendations on how to get around Saint Augustine, which had been a minute for me, so it was good to get a refresher. Sparkling wine at the front desk when we checked in was excellent and helped us unwind after the drive from South Florida. They have a gym and pool that I believe is accessible through the second floor, so I will have to remember that for our return trip. Also, they have a Starbucks on the lobby floor, which was great to get our morning pick-me-up. The bar and restaurant were very stylish, lots of Spanish influence from the 15th and 16th centuries. The cocktails were also solid. I didn't care for the water pressure and temperature, as they were difficult to adjust and ensure we were getting the correct settings. It was pretty scalding hot, so it took a couple of minutes to get it right, and then I kept it on the setting for my wife since I didn't want her struggling to mess with it. Apart from that, the experience was great. We enjoyed the sparkling wine and the accommodations when we checked in. The valet was good to have, as I didn't want to mess with street parking, but it is more expensive; take note.

    The restaurant was sub par. For such an upscale hotel, the food does not fit the bill. I ordered…read morethe meatballs and shrimp for an appetizer. The meatballs were stone cold and bland. The shrimp looked pale and completely unappetizing. I didn't even try them! For dinner my daughter ordered the mussels and they were cold. I ordered the Ahi tuna. The waiter told me they were sliced. They weren't slices, they were shreds of tuna. No taste whatsoever. As a travel editor I rate this restaurant with a 1.

I used "reservationdesk.com" (Expedia-?) to make this reservation. The agent PROMISED that we would be on a second floor with a BAYFRONT VIEW. When we arrived at the MARIN HOUSE B&B, there was no waterfront view at all, and we were on the first floor, crammed into a little corner on the property. At check-in, we were basically told that, it's your problem because we used a third-party ("reservationdesk.com"). FINALLY, a week later, we finally got our receipt. Marin House said that they could not even give us a receipt because we went through a third-party. So, one week later, I see that we were charged for three nights, even though we checked out after the first night. ReservationDesk.com said that they contacted Marin House, who told them that since we checked out after the first night, it was against their B&B POLICY, and they are refusing to refund FOR THE TWO NIGHTS THAT WE WERE NOT EVEN THERE!!!!! EVEN THOUGH WE WERE LIED TO ABOUT THE ROOM. Sandy, the owner, got her britches into a big bunch because we were singing, and our choice of language apparently offended the geriatric crowd there....
