4.0 out of 5Very Nice Stay
May 08, 2013
Had a good stay, all staff were very nice. The breakfast was a little crowded and rushed.
4.6 out of 5Great Stay at the St francis
May 05, 2013
My wife and I stayed at the inn from April 27-May 2, 2013 for our 30th anniversary. This was our first time in St Augustine, loved it, and our first B&B stay. I can't say enough about the inn, the staff, the warmth and friendliness and the variety of interesting people that we experienced here. The staff were courteous and informative, down to telling us which restaurants not to go to. There was always fresh water, iced tea, coffee and tea available. The breakfast exceeded our expectations. Afternoon social hour was a fun time to talk with the other guests had complementary beer, wine, sangria, and delicious appetizer type offerings. Evening desert hour was also a nice treat. We stayed in Anna's room, unfortunately no hauntings to report, but the room was nice, bathroom is very small so if you are a larger person or someone that has a hard time in a tight space it would probably not be a good choice for you but we had no problems . At night there are snacks left out if you need your midnight snack. We also got complementary passes to the lighthouse. We used bikes provided every day as well as swam in the pool which we always had to ourselves. Top notch in every respect Joe the owner was always visible and staff were beyond accommodating from the desk to the kitchen to housekeeping.

We always enjoy St. Augustine, but wanted something special for our anniversary. Although the room we had was small, it was cozy and the staff and the ambiance of the inn was excellent!
1.8 out of 5Disappointed on my Birthday
May 03, 2013
Great sales pitch on the phone but extremely poor performance!! While promised a lovely room and from the pictures on the website not being so; what we received was a tiny cubicle of a room with horrible outdated gasrbage furniture, a mirror that could not be used because I'm 5' and it was too high, bad lighting, a 19 inch tv that you can't see from the bed, no tables and no room to store anything, a worn out rug that was completely stained and a bed that should have been discarded years ago. The bed was so lumpy that I feel crippled. The bathroom was the size of a coffin and the shower curtain touched you from every angle so you were showering with every guest prior to you. . We were also asked to pay in full when we arrived, I guess that should have been our first clue as to what to expect. We arrived with my service dog and were told by the staff that we could not use the indoor areas because of safety issues which is grounds for a law suit since service animals are permitted everywhere, finally Kelly came in and said that the dog was permitted everywhere. The staff was rude and made us feel like we were imposing on them at every request. The only staff that were kind were Kelly and Mary. Heather was a nightmare and extremely rude. The only thing the staff is interested in is getting their job done without you bothering them and to get as much money as they possibley can from each guest. The room cost was $159.00 per night and it was not worth $50.00..I feel like we were entirely ripped off and I was so dissappointed with the St. Francis Inn. I was afraid to walk without shoes on that rug it looked so grimy. The last night there when we went to bed there was a spider in the bed and I have pictures to prove it as well. Do Not Waste your money at this inn, stay elsewhere.

1.8 out of 5Disappointed on my Birthday
May 03, 2013
Great sales pitch on the phone but extremely poor performance!! While promised a lovely room and from the pictures on the website not being so; what we received was a tiny cubicle of a room with horrible outdated gasrbage furniture, a mirror that could not be used because I'm 5' and it was too high, bad lighting, a 19 inch tv that you can't see from the bed, no tables and no room to store anything, a worn out rug that was completely stained and a bed that should have been discarded years ago. The bed was so lumpy that I feel crippled. The bathroom was the size of a coffin and the shower curtain touched you from every angle so you were showering with every guest prior to you. . We were also asked to pay in full when we arrived, I guess that should have been our first clue as to what to expect.

Do Not Waste your money at this inn, stay elsewhere.
5 out of 5Romantically Beautiful
May 02, 2013
Our first time staying at the St. Francis Inn and also our first time vacationing in St. Augustine was simply perfect. The buildings and ground are so beautiful. The staff was always helpful and friendly. So many great free amenities, including hot breakfast, specialty coffee, an evening social with appetizers and wine, and sinful desserts every night. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint, and close enough to walk to most of the major sites, including the Old Fort, Oldest House, Pirate Museum, St. George Street shopping, Flagler College, Lightener Museum, and more. We stayed in the Wilson Suite and everything was great. Loved the two-person whirlpool tub. :) We didn't see any of the resident ghosts, but both my girlfriend and I had a strange experience. But this only added to the excitement of our stay! I read over a dozen positive reviews before deciding on St. Francis Inn. I have no regrets and we definitely hope to return in the near future.
4.8 out of 5The wonderful St. Francis Inn
April 30, 2013
My husband and I stayed at the inn from April 18-20, 2013 for our 20th anniversary 'second honeymoon' celebration. I can't say enough about this wonderful inn, the staff, the warmth and friendliness that we experienced here. Since it was our first trip to St. Augustine, we had many questions. The staff were courteous and informative, down to telling us which restaurants not to go to. There was always fresh water, iced tea, coffee and tea available. The breakfast exceeded out expectations, especially the one that we received in our room as part of our package. Afternoon social hour was a fun time to talk with the other guests and far exceeded our expectations, with complementary beer, wine, sangria, and delicious appetizer type offerings. Evening desert hour was also a great surprise, there were several things to choose from, along with some port wine and other drinks. We stayed in Lily's room, unfortunately no hauntings to report, but the room was absolutely lovely. I also 'snooped' in a few of the other rooms when they were being cleaned. The staff caught me but they didn't care that I was checking them out. At night there are snacks left out if you need your midnight snack. Our package included a carriage ride and a river cruise, both were lovely. We also got complementary passes to the lighthouse. Quiet, impeccably clean, friendly, historic, pretty....all words that I would use to give this wonderful inn the highest recommendation possible for anyone considering a stay in St. Augustine!
