It started with our check in person and how hard she made it to just check in. It was as if she was doing us a favor and using all her "power" to make us wait. It was unprofessional and unnecessary treatment. I hope you are able to talk and retrain this person

Great location to experience St. Augustine

The Best Western in St. Augustine had excellent reviews on the Hotel.com app, but I hadn’t stayed at BW for a long time. I was wrong to worry - the place was fantastic. It’s more of a motel than hotel. Meaning you park outside your room and there isn’t a “lobby” or main hotel - just an office to check-in. The parking is unique but makes perfect sense for the location. When you check in they guide you to your parking space and as you come and go they fit you in by moving barriers and stanchions. It sounds complicated but it works very well. Our room was small but worked for our stay without issue. The room was clean and up-to-date. Bathroom was nicely done. The location is excellent - the historic fort is across the street and the historic streets are 1 minute away walking. We spent most of our time exploring the town. Many great places to eat, drink and people watch. The town is very friendly and we felt safe throughout the historic area. The only negative was the hotel wifi really didn’t work for us. Might have been our room location - we were ground level and not far from main office.

The water smelled and tested horrible - like drinking out of the river. They should offer free bottled water. It is located in a touristy area and I didn’t know until I checked in that they cannot guarantee a quiet room. I was there for business. I could hear music from a bar in the next block. The property is very run down although they tried to fix up the rooms it was like putting lipstick on a pig. I don’t think Expedia should push this property. It’s just really run down.

One of our favorite places to stay but room 110 is so noisy and it comes straight in the room via the AC UNIT! From the band to the trash compactor we left super early to go home and rest! Again it is an amazing updated hotel with awesome location! We will go back just not that side of the hotel for sure!

Fantastic location

This is an older motel that has been refreshed recently. There's plenty of parking, although it take some tetris to get into and out of your spot. What you're really paying for here is the prime location. It's right near the Fort, and about a block from St George Street. It's very nice being able to park here and walk to wherever you wanted to go in the historic area.
