The Smart Stay Inn

Found bed bugs in room

We loved this place and the employees who work there. It isn’t the newest place in Saint Augustine, but it’s clean. Our beds were full beds, and there were the most comfortable beds. I’ve been in at a hotel. The pool area is gorgeous. Best of all with the handicap bathroom. I took a friend who has cerebral policy and getting around is very difficult for her. There were plenty of bars and the rolling shower was beyond great. We’re looking forward to our next trip to Saint Augustine and returning to this, our favorite place. One little tip for you if you’re driving there.: instead of putting the name of the hotel in your GPS, put Daily’s name in it. That was simplify finding the place.

Check in was good. Receptionist very nice and friendly. Booked here over closer hotels since their buffet breakfast was advertised starting at 6 since we had to depart by 6:30 but at check-in found out they had changed weekends to 7, so we had to skip breakfast. Other than that it was very good. Got a first floor room, large and comfy. Large TV, fridge, micro, and even had iron and hair dryer. Clean, renovated, comfy king bed. Only concern: don't know about the other rooms, but ours (rm 118) needs a shower head replacement. This was the only flaw, and besides the breakfast hour change, everything else (room and staff) was fantastic.

Musty smell tv didn’t work and no hot water for the shower

Stayed one night, clean room, no issues. Breakfast was a little weak but same as many others.

Clean

Convenient location, extremely polite and professional staff and very clean rooms with comfortable beds.

Great place

A clean affordable No Frills room. That alone deserves a good review. However when you factor in the staff, that's what makes it a great review! Look this place is not the Ritz, because quite frankly I stayed there! But I was able to afford a place to lay my head and shower for work when I needed it. Not to mention the staff are all incredibly nice honest hard-working people. Soft clean bed, hot water good pressure! They should have Bruce Campbell as their spokesperson, the hook would be, "Stay the smart way, stay Smart Stay!" And then he cuts like a giant demonic piggy bank in half and a bunch of gold squirts out everywhere because they charge half the price other hotel chains charge on pets. Or something. The point is, it's very nice affordable place to stay.

Bit confusing pulling thru a gas station to find the hotel.
