Room was super clean, everything was in excellent condition, very quiet. My wife loved the pillows. Great location, easy check in. Owner showed us a couple rooms, very helpful! Good value! Cannot find anything that could be improved, stay here you will be satisfied

Honestly it was better then expected. I had my doubts because of the reviews. You truly get what you pay for in this world and hotel rooms are no different. I paid $100 for 1 night and it was the cheapest in town and it was not that bad. I think people are leaving negative reviews because they forget that this is not a 4 or 5 star hotel and that’s ok. I would rate this a 3 star hotel mainly because of the style, location, pricing and the basic amenities that are offered. If your looking for a cheap place to stay and not expect a 5 star experience then this is the place for you. In the end I was able to sleep, take a hot shower and have some nice heat.

I only live about 35 minutes north of St A. We had a concert at the ampitheater on Saturday and figured we'd get a room close by so we could have a few beers at the show (and after). The location of this place is perfect for that. It's a touch over a mile to the venue which we could have walked easily although we hitched a ride with some friends. There are plenty of other great places to walk to including the Mellow Mushroom for pizza (and lots of beer taps) which is right next door. It's pretty close to the Bridge of Lions too if you want to go into downtown St Augustine. This isn't the lap of luxury; it's an older, single level, concrete block motel. I happen to like nostalgic places like this. They have plenty of parking and a nice pool that was recently redone from the look of it. The only odd thing was that there's not really any furniture around it...only a couple of resin chairs. Maybe that's in the works. The room itself was nice and clean with a lot of it looking new. The rugs and bedding looked new. The bathroom was recently remodeled with some nice tiling in the walk in shower and a granite small sink. The old walls were freshly painted but of course showed some age. There's a door in the back where there's another row of parking. The AC unit seemed pretty new. It was turned off when we checked in (3pm) so the room was warm, but it's a powerful unit (and not too loud) and had the room cool in minutes. There's also a small 'fridge and microwave. No coffee maker.The couple who run the place were super nice. The lobby seems to be closed so they service you from an after hours type window. There's a buzzer, but we didn't have to use it as they must keep a close eye on things and showed right up. We had another friend meet us and we asked them if he could park there until maybe 11pm and the show got out. They were super cool with that allowing my friend to save a few bucks for parking. As I said, I'm local and like seeing shows at the Ampitheater and this place is in a perfect location for that. I'll be back for sure.

2 hours before the check out when we step out for breakfast the owner open my room and send the cleaning crew inside throwing away my food.I was very upset, very disappointed at such a dismiss of my privacy. I do NOT recommended to anyone

The Lion Inn was a great stay! Conveniently located on Anastasia Island, walking distance from downtown St. Augustine. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. My room was recently renovated, with a super nice bathroom. Traffic/noise was not an issue. And the rate was great! Would definitely stay here again.
