Family trip with Fur babies

This was our second time staying at Southern Oaks Inn. It was good for a short stay near the hustle and bustle of St Augustine (about a 5 - 10min drive). We brought our bikes and pedaled into the heart and history of St. Augustine. We love that it is Pet Friendly, it makes a big difference when planning our trips. This hotel offers a dog bed (our dogs loved it) and dog bowl (we appreciate this thought). It’s a bit of an older hotel, however, given this was our second time, we saw the changes from the last time. They’ve done a great job with the upgrades =) At the time of check in they provide you a list of pet friendly places to eat and visit in the St Augustine area. Pet fee is $25 per day (EXTREMELY REASONABLE, compared to what we have seen for other hotels). We will definitely come back to the area and stay here =)

If you want a motel 6 room for the price of a Hilton this is it. Property was clean however the room was much to be desired. Furniture looked like they picked it up at goodwill, scratches on everything, 2seater looked like something you wouldn’t sit on No lamps in the bedroom, no decorations on walls. Not even a mirror in the bedroom. Then they charge an additional $25 for a bs service fee, so I guess the free breakfast really isn’t free. Just another rip off tourist trap. Stay away!!!!

Staff are great. Proximity to noisy road was a little challenging as well as some of the other guest's barking dogs. Cleaning staff entered our room despite their being a Do Not Disturb sign on the door. They charge the full amount as well as a $100 incidental fee (supposed to be refunded). Room was outdated and smelled musty. I would recommend for the relative proximity to downtown area.

The heat- a/c in the room was not working as it had been unplugged due to load noise and shaking of the unit. Also only one electric outlet in the room for charging and it was in the bathroom. Alarm clock had a plug but did not function. We had a king size bed we stay in a lot of hotels and it was one of the worst beds. The staff was nice and tried to be helpful. Breakfast could be improved upon

The staff was great, as was the breakfast. Its location makes it super easy to get to downtown St. Augustine or the beach (both are less than 10 mins. away) by car, AND the shuttle was a nice option, running every 20 minutes or so until 10pm. It was definitely winter when I visited, So I didnt swim. Nevertheless, the pool area was beautiful and well maintained. Southern Oaks seems great for dogs, with tons of outdoor room to run around, play frisbee, and treats at the front desk! Taco Libre next door is delicious and the drug stores across the street makes it convenient for just about anything. Really friendly place.

Great value!

This is always a great stay for us, we stay here every time we come into town! The remodeled rooms are great! They have added a lot of new tech updated that needed to happen. Like USB and USB-C ports in the head board which are a nice touch. A/C and heat work GREAT!!!! Road noise is very small considering your on US-1. They have a shuttle that takes you to downtown and back 10am-10pm love that touch. Beds are comfy and sheets are clean and pillows are great! Our room had issues with wifi but that’s not the end of the world, as you have a great signal. Breakfast is amazing here buffet style and good food and options. Only down side is the cafeteria fills up fast on the weekend, and you can’t take your food to your room. Would be nice if there was an options for us to do that when the cafeteria gets filled up. Safe area as well. Staff are fantastic and answer any and all questions. Room lighting would benefit from warm lighting as well. Overall we love this hotel and will always stay here!! Keep it up.
