This place was absolutely perfect for Nights of Lights!…read more We wanted to experience the event in St. Augustine but heard that parking during this time can be a nightmare, so we looked for a hotel or Airbnb within walking distance of the historic downtown area. Most options were either sold out or priced at $800+ per night, so we felt incredibly lucky to find availability at Marker 8 Hotel and Marina for $360/night. The hotel was wonderful. The staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming. They greeted us with big smiles, provided a map of the town, and even offered restaurant recommendations. The location, though, was definitely the highlight. The hotel sits right next to the bridge that leads directly into downtown. They even have a private gate that opens onto the walkway, making access incredibly convenient. We loved being able to stay in a quiet, uncrowded area while still being just a short walk (1/2 mile) from all the excitement. Parking was also a positive experience. We arrived around 3:30 p.m., and the lot was mostly empty, allowing us to park right in front of our room. By around 8 p.m., the lot did fill up, so guests arriving later may want to be mindful of that. Our room was very clean, and the king bed was super comfy. Some of the furniture, particularly the bathroom shelving, was a bit dated, but everything was well-maintained and spotless, so we had no complaints. One of our favorite features was the beautiful view from the patio. The sunset from our room was breathtaking! Our room faced the marina, so we loved walking out to the pier to see the boats and watch the sea life in the water. The weather was perfect, so we took full advantage of exploring the marina area. Overall, we loved this hotel and would absolutely return. The location could not have been better for enjoying Nights of Lights.

That time they had teriyaki chicken, chips, cheese and some vegetables. The room I stayed had an amazing view to the bridge. At night it looks amazing! The breakfast was also delicious. I got a delicious dessert with strawberries, and some shrimp. Everything was really good! I'm definitely going back to this hotel. 100%

Highlights…read moreincluded a spacious jacuzzi tub, convenient parking directly downstairs, and a mini fridge and microwave,. The faux fireplace produced real heat and was especially appreciated on the cooler Christmas mornings. We also enjoyed the private balcony, the walkable location, and access to the main house for water, coffee, tea, and homemade cookies. The property was beautifully decorated for the season, and everyone we encountered was kind and accommodating. That said, I would not personally choose this room again due to comfort issues related to sleep. The bed creaked loudly with every movement, and the very soft topper made it uncomfortable. The left side of the bed also lacked a bedside table, leaving no place for essentials like a phone or water, which was incredibly inconvenient. Since comfortable sleep is a primary reason for booking lodging, this was a drawback for me. While the property offers other rooms that may be better in this regard, at close to $450 per night during the holidays, I did expect a higher level of comfort and functionality. There were also a few minor inconveniences. The ice machine dispensed only one glassful at a time and used a shared scoop that was returned to the container. The included wine was presented in unmarked bottles, and clearer labeling would have made it easier to feel confident in its quality. Housekeeping was not provided daily and had to be requested each time. On one occasion, only the trash was removed and a few extra towels were left. The jacuzzi tub was never cleaned between uses, and I had to clean it myself before each use. Breakfast was good, and the staff kindly accommodated our dietary needs. Guests staying in the Pearl Room do need to walk across the street for breakfast, which makes it feel less seamless than simply going downstairs. On the positive side, the Pearl Room does offer a high level of privacy, which we appreciated. Overall, the staff was kind, and there were aspects of the stay we truly enjoyed. However, several comfort and service issues would need to be addressed before this property could be considered excellent.

The BnB recently expanded to a second property and are seriously updating everything from patio pavers on. A total of 22 rooms in the two buildings across the lane from one another. Breakfast is is the parlor of the building housing your room. Our bathroom was renovated and in great shape, and the room offered a nice vestibule outside the bedroom. If you have ever stayed in St Augustine the one thing this town doesn't have is parking. Every space not private is meter pay and the B&B has plenty but a two block walk away. They have several spaces to load and unload but not for overnight. The property is located in an area full of historical properties - amazing to see these homes from the 1700s! Hard to take old buildings into current standards and I don't think the property is ADA friendly. I find it amazing they are still standing, many built with lime and shells. A lot of streets on this side of town are cobblestones and narrow (most one way). Very Cool! Fortunately it's quiet and a short walk to everywhere including the river and a short drive to the beach. Easy to get around. Restaurants are abundant including a couple just up the street. Our room (bed) was clean & comfortable and wifi is free. The refrigerator with a small freezer was a nice plus.. Breakfast is 8-9:30 and is comprised of a starter and hot meal. Yogurt and fruit followed by egg soufflé. Baked pear & granola followed by "french toast" croissant and sausage. Juice, coffee and water flow freely. A choice would be nice, especially if you have dietary restrictions. But what we had was delicious. I think a fifth star would be warranted if they upped the breakfast menu. The outstanding feature of The Victorian is the people and service. Friendly, caring and all about accommodating you in every way. Manager Jonathan was a true gem and the dining staff wonderful. Can't say enough about how well they took care of us. If we came back it would be here, but we'd go for a room with a balcony next time!

I requested servicing of the room. A card specified leaving towels on floor if they were to be replaced.

Fake scrambled eggs with sausage gravy and biscuits with an otherwise continental breakfast did not meet my expectations. Sherry in the room had to be requested. Furnishings were "on the cheap" with bath rug sets that could be from a big box store.

Tryp by Wyndham is a hotel in St. Augustine that I think is a hit or miss. My biggest tip: CALL the…read morehotel in advance and have them guarantee you a room away from the road. Otherwise you'll be in a room that is filled with traffic noise. My family stayed on a Sunday night and I booked the room directly from the hotel website. My biggest complaint is the traffic noise. I read a couple reviews about this and requested a room away from the road when I booked. When we got to the hotel they said that every room on the quiet side was occupied. I was upset and asked if a higher floor would be better as they did have those. The staff member assured me that when they placed our room they would have given me the best at that time. We ended up on a second floor room that felt like we were on a drag race strip. This did not help me sleep and I was up most of the night tossing and turning. The room also did not appear to be two queen beds as booked but rather two fulls. Or have hotel beds shrunk and I am just now learning this? It also had a shower instead of a tub which was not good for my toddler to take a bath. This was my mistake for not researching that more as I thought be the photos it looked like they did have them. The room was spacious and came with a mini fridge and microwave. There is free self parking at the hotel. Since the hotel is at least a 15 minutes walk downtown, they offer a shuttle that takes you there although we didn't use it. Overall, I would not stay at this hotel again unless I could be guaranteed a room away from the road. I'm surprised at all of the good reviews on Yelp but maybe they got better rooms or are heavy sleepers.

Nice sized, with comfy beds and pillows. The bathroom had me concerned because the sink didn't look like it was cleaned. There was a small chunk of toothpaste in the sink and some spots which made me wonder if the rest of the room had been cleaned thoroughly. There was also a used coffee k cup in the machine and the drip area was wet with old coffee. We mentioned it to the front desk on our way out to dinner and when we returned just before 10pm we were told we could switch rooms. I didn't want to pack and unpack all over again. We declined as we were tired and just wanted to go to sleep. Thank God for the small sink in the main room because that's what we used. In the morning we got up to shower only to find there really wasn't hot water. Two lukewarm showers later we were frustrated and checked out. We weren't asked how our stay was by the front desk so we didn't ask if hot water has been an issue. We won't be staying here again.

A Stylish Waterfront Escape in the Heart of St. Augustine…read more There's something special about staying in the heart of historic St. Augustine, and AC Hotel St. Augustine takes that experience to another level. This beautiful waterfront property combines sleek, modern European-inspired design with the timeless charm of America's oldest city. The location is fantastic. Sitting along the San Sebastian River, the hotel is within easy walking distance of St. Augustine's most iconic attractions, including St. George Street, Flagler College, Castillo de San Marcos, boutiques, galleries, and an incredible variety of restaurants. You can park your car and simply explore the city on foot. The hotel itself has that polished, contemporary AC Hotels feel--stylish, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which always makes a stay feel that much more special. There are plenty of amenities to enjoy, including a beautiful outdoor pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and a conference room that accommodates up to 99 guests. One feature I found particularly unique is the marina and boat launch facility. Guests arriving by boat can actually navigate the waterway and access the hotel, making this a truly distinctive waterfront destination. And for me, breakfast is always an important part of any hotel stay--and the breakfast here does not disappoint. There are plenty of choices and a great way to start the morning before heading out to explore. What I really love about AC Hotel St. Augustine is the balance of modern luxury, waterfront atmosphere, exceptional location, and historic surroundings. Step outside and you're immersed in centuries of history; step back inside and you're surrounded by contemporary comfort. Whether it's a romantic weekend, a getaway with friends, a business trip, or simply a chance to experience St. Augustine in style, this hotel is a wonderful choice. History outside. Modern comfort inside. Waterfront views all around. What's not to love?

The AC Hotel is 7 months old as of July 2026. It's a very nice hotel and worth the rate of…read more$99/night weekdays. Thank you Travelzoo for a great rate. The hotel is modern and the room was spacious for two people. The bathroom door is made from frosted glass that slides back and forth. If you are used to cracking the bathroom door for a nightlight, bring a nightlight from home. Our room faced the parking lot and there is no balcony. The rooms facing the pool have balconies. But they also face partially to an electric distribution operation and partially to a parking lot and perhaps another building under construction. I think the parking lot view worked. And if you're not in the room often, what does it matter? This hotel does allow dogs. We saw several walking with their humans in the lobby. Only one morning did we hear a dog bark on the guest floor. The parking rate is stated at $22, but after taxes it is $25/day. Don't be misled. The elevators going up only work after you hold your keycard to the access pad. Then depress the button for the floor of choice. The hotel automatically closed out our bill after four days. We did not know this until we arrived home 6 days later. We were unable to review the charges for the first 4 days. We did receive a bill for the last three days, which appeared correct. But no way to evaluate the charges of the first part of the stay and still can't even on the bonvoy app. We weren't even told they closed out the bill or why they closed out the bill. The refrigerator would not maintain the temperature of 40 degrees. We often returned to the room to 54 degrees, which was unacceptable to store our medication. We had maintenance look at the refrigerator and were advised to depress the quick cool button. We had to do this at least twice a day. The shower drain was clogged. Maintenance resolved that. The ice maker/water dispenser on each guest floor was appreciated. We were told housekeeping would visit every other day. By the third day the trash needed to be emptied, even though we didn't mind making the bed ourselves. The hotel should consider a community trashcan by the ice maker to assist with the every other day housekeeping issue. Breakfast was $18 and was explained as a European style breakfast. It's a buffet with options including fruit, smoked salmon, prociutto, bagels, cereal, yogurt, scrambled eggs and sausage. We kept saying we will try the breakfast, but there are so many options in STA, that we skipped it. The do have a complimentary coffee station between the breakfast and bar areas that are set up til at least 10:30. My companion had filled his travel mug each morning and that was very nice! We attempted to order dinner in the bar area one evening. We sat at a table after obtaining menus from the bar. We waited 30 minutes and after seeing other hotel guests with food and drinks, no one greeted us or instructed us where to order. We departed and went to a nearby restaurant outside the hotel. The Travelzoo rate, convenience of parking, and proximity to the historic downtown area, made this trip worthwhile.
