Nice, clean motel, def loud with the street/car noise they provide ear plugs. Pool was cute and clean. The app to open the door did not work and they were prepared for it so don’t waste too much time trying it and call the “front desk” ( on the app) they will give u a code for a card key- no one in premises just online people- but very nice place.

This motel is conveniently located along a busy strip with all that's needed for a fun stay at the beach or in St. Augustine. The decor and vibe are a fun retro beachy feel from the 70s. The room was quite small, but well equipped and neat. Our bathroom shower stall was not cleaned well, nor was the floor, however. Remnants of the past guests were found in both areas. The pool area is clean, cute and comfortable. We requested a room not adjacent to the busy commercial strip, and were granted one, which I greatly appreciate. The only noise level were the guests coming and going from their parking spots directly outside the room door, but that is to be expected in a motel. All in all, it was a cute and tidy spot that we would visit again while hoping that the cleaning is more thorough.

Clean room close to the music venue we were attending. Staff was nice. Perfect for what we needed it for. My only complaint was key accessed through Virdee app. Great in theory, however the app wasn't working so we ended up with physical keys anyway. I would stay here again.

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.

The property is advertised offering digital check in. The app required for check in was not functional for the pre check in process. I had to place a call to complete this process before checking in. When checking in there was also an issue with getting a digital key on my phone. Not a contact free property as advertised. I was given key cards for the room by the housekeeping staff at check in, as were others checking in at the same time.

We were unable to check in/open door

We spent an hour (roughly 5-6 pm) trying to unlock the door to our room with phone access. There were no employees onsite. Unsuccessful after many attempts working with the phone rep. We understood that a person would be arriving onsite to help us. This never happened. Total malfunction of their automated system. We canceled the reservation and received a full refund. We were lucky to find another hotel so late in the evening. What a total disaster this was! Never again.

The hotel was as expected! The floors were sticky and there was an air purifier in the room but the filter light was on and the filter was dirty. There was a dog in the room next doo that we heard barking loudly until we called and then it was resolved! The traffic noise didn’t bother me, the AC unit is a bit noisy but I love the noise to fall asleep to. The customer service team was very quick and helpful when I called once about the dog (they didn’t have any rooms to move us to but they did reach out to the room to ask them to resolve this), and I also called again because our mobile room key stopped working. We waited outside for 10-15 mins and the housekeeper brought us 2 physical keys that worked the rest of the stay. The beds are definitely not super comfortable and the pillows were very thin. Not bad for 1-2 nights if you’re looking on the more affordable side!

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!

Property was great. Location too. The check in system sucked. It would be better to have someone there to check people in and out instead of using the app. We had to wait for someone to personally deliver room keys to us because the app wasnt able to unlock our doors

Great spot!

Our stay over Valentine's Day weekend '25 was absolutely fantastic! The Local really knows how to provide a cozy and comfortable experience for this time of year. We had a single queen room at the front of the building, and we were thrilled with the updated bathroom and the mini kitchen area, complete with a fridge and microwave. One small suggestion for The Local would be to add a sitting chair in the rooms. It would have been perfect for reading or relaxing while using my laptop. I woke up early one morning and didn’t want to disturb my spouse and baby, so I ended up sitting on the floor to get some work done! It wasn’t a huge issue, just a nice-to-have. The location is absolutely ideal—just far enough from the hustle and bustle of downtown St. Augustine, but still close enough to enjoy all the amazing restaurants and sights. A couple of our favorites were Osprey Tacos (great for dinner and a brew, just a short walk away) and the delicious breakfast burrito at Mojo Tacos right across the street. Overall, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return next year! We'll definitely be upgrading to a bigger room as we expand our family!

Worst customer service in our whole travels across the Country. The app to get into your room never works and no one answers the phone when you call for help. The rooms are small. AC doesn’t work. We got locked out of our room several times and had to wait for over an hour to get in. We were in St Aug for business and we were unable to change for meetings as a result of the poor service here. They are way too focused on their flamingo wallpaper and should focus way more on the quality of stay.
