Staying in the Smart Stay inn
I was not aware that the hotel was an animal friendly and the breakfast room seems to be small because was too crouder. Overall was good. It did not meet my expectations for the price.

We stayed here for one night driving up to Georgia, place was ok GREAT BREAKFAST, however, i had my PSA dog with me and was told i had to wait outside of Lobby that he wasnt allowed, which clearly means they are not up to date/informed with ADA regulations..i tried my Best to politely explain and show them the ADA laws and my pet’s documentation but nonetheless, they were extremely rude with me about the whole thing. I was not happy and very dissappointed :(

Be wary of excellent customer ratings
By far, my worst checkin experience ever. 45 minutes to get a room . I had a reservation. Room door locking mechanism appears to be installed upside down. Otherwise, room was nice. Very comfortable bed. Room very clean. Could not get the coffeemaker to work.

my stay in st. augustine
The breakfast was very good, the room was clean, 19 minutes from historic district close to mall, if you will pick room 216 the gentlemen in 214 will sing all kind of rap music until 4am!
