BBanannenaramaSWe like to stay in motels for the convenience of having our loaded car close to our room, but we also like to stay in hotels because of the larger rooms, amenities, corporate standards for cleanliness and safety, and often more social ability. Imagine our delight in finding the Smart Stay Inn, a motel right in the outer neighborhoods of St. Augustine! We have the convenience we love, high quality amenities, cleanliness, and truly professional staff - in every aspect of their duties. My husband loves it as it has TWO coffee shops available (of course first coffee at the excellent breakfast), and two restaurants just a few hundred feet away, is right off the highway yet tucked away from the main road, and extremely easy to get to downtown St. Augustine where the room rates are easily three times the Smart Stay's. I love it because everywhere I look I can see the results of its industrious staff - sparkling cleanliness, happy families, and - I think brought about by the comfort each guest is enjoying - very friendly clientele. The staff is gracious and went out of their way to make our stay perfect. The rooms are large, bright, and very clean. The refrigerator is big and has a freezer section, the pool is spotlessly clean and inviting, and I think the rooms must be well soundproofed as we didn't hear a thing, A GREAT find.
Great and very accommodating staff. Excellent rooms, very clean, safe and quiet. We were traveling pulling a boat and the staff went out of their way on a very busy night to make sure we could park in a safe area and have a wonderful nights rest. Thank you. You were our saving grace.
