The majority of the hotel's 36 rooms include waterfront balconies offering picturesque views of the area. Guests can walk to significant local attractions, restaurants, and shops just steps from the hotel entrance.

Historical Significance

The hotel is anchored by the Rodriguez House, an original First Spanish Period structure built by Royal Decree of the King of Spain. This building's coquina walls embody nearly 450 years of rich American history waiting to be explored. Each guest can experience a direct connection to St. Augustine's storied past during their visit.

Room offerings include Queen Rooms, Double Queen Rooms, and a Two Bedroom Suite that accommodates up to six people. Each room is equipped with plush mattresses, triple-sheeted bedding, and modern amenities for convenience. Selected rooms offer scenic waterfront views, enhancing the guest experience.

A complimentary buffet breakfast is provided each morning, allowing guests to start their day with fresh options. Afternoon visits to the hotel will be rewarded with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, a signature offering. The hotel also holds a daily social hour featuring a selection of meats and cheeses.

Outdoor Relaxation

“This inn distinguishes itself with a staff known for exceptional service and a location ideal for exploring St. Augustine's historic district on foot; I think it's a particularly good spot for boaters, given its proximity to the marina. The complimentary breakfast and well-maintained grounds add to the appeal, creating a cozy and convenient experience, in my opinion.”
