I had been looking for housing all day long in St. Augustine and when I realized I would be needing a place to stay for the night, I found this gem on Hotels.com. It was within walking distance of historic St. Augustine and the price was reasonable so I booked The Loft for the night. I had no idea what I was getting at first but was I impressed.
Upon arrival, I was a bit confused because there was a closed sign on the store below and I really didn't know where to go to check-in. I called the number and the owners picked up and walked out from downstairs. The owners were very nice and showed me up to the loft. The loft was the room above their store and it was the only room.
The loft consisted of four rooms - the larger room had a bed in the middle hanging from four chains (there are legs under the bed that holds it up and it doesn't sway), a couple of couches and a television. There was also this funky light show mechanism on the wall which was nice to have on. The dining room had a table and chairs, mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The bathroom had a clawfoot tub and they offered bath salts. There was another small room where one could sit at a table and do makeup. This room also had a clothes rack as there was no closet.
My favorite place to be at was on the porch looking over San Marco Avenue. Here I sat and read in between people watching.
My only cons to the loft was the remote control wasn't synced with both the cable and television and I had to get out of bed to turn the tv off. Also, the bathroom mirror was so small, I had to bend down a bit to comb my hair. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the place was haunted cause I heard a few odd noises during the night. read more
