It was our first time staying here. We loved it so much we're going to make it an annual tradition. So close to all the attractions but far away enough from all the tourists on St. George. Located on a beautiful quiet street that has numerous bed and breakfast inns. Rooms were beautifully decorated with a nice walk in shower and the bed was super comfortable. We stayed in the Garnet on the corner of the second floor near the street. We did not have any issues with too much noise other than a few passersby speaking loudly as they walked past the inn. No big deal. The inn offers all the amenities you can think of - bottled water, soda, wine, even Sherry and a glass canister in the room. Breakfast was beyond wonderful. We regretfully overslept the first two nights but indulged on the morning of our departure Fluffy souffle egg bake with artichokes and a creamy basil thyme sauce, crispy kielbasa, granola yogurt parfait with fresh fruit and drizzle and a delicious blueberry scone. Amazing and thoughtful. We loved everything about our stay. The self parking lot behind the inn was spacious and was included in the price. Location cannot be beat. Service was beyond gracious. We can't say enough and can't wait to come back.

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this experience warranted honest feedback. My husband and I booked the Amethyst Room for our anniversary based on the photos and descriptions provided online. Unfortunately, the property did not fully meet the expectations those images created. As Florida residents, we understand the recent cold weather likely impacted landscaping and outdoor upkeep. However, the courtyard and exterior areas appeared noticeably more worn and less maintained than what is currently advertised online. Updating the photos or refreshing the outdoor spaces would help future guests have a more accurate understanding of the property’s current condition. There were certainly positive aspects to our stay. The location was excellent, the included parking was convenient, and every staff member we encountered was kind and welcoming. That said, at approximately $375 per night, we anticipated a higher level of overall quality in the accommodations, amenities, and breakfast experience. While the room itself was comfortable enough, it lacked the charm, attention to detail, and elevated feel we expected at this price point. Breakfast was also disappointing; we only chose to participate one of the two mornings because the selection felt quite basic. In a destination like St. Augustine, we expected a more memorable and refined hospitality experience. The toiletries also felt below the standard we anticipated for a property in this category. The shampoo and body wash were small sample sized bottles that did not feel particularly premium or thoughtfully curated. Additionally, we experienced an issue with the tub jets during our first night. The jets repeatedly turned on by themselves, and we had to troubleshoot the wall switches multiple times to stop them, which became frustrating and disruptive. Overall, it felt as though the premium pricing was driven primarily by the location rather than the full guest experience. We have stayed at similarly priced bed and breakfast properties in Savannah and found the room quality, amenities, and dining experience there to be significantly more impressive. I genuinely wanted to love this property and had hoped it might become an annual anniversary destination for us, which makes this disappointment even more unfortunate. I share this feedback constructively because I do believe the property has strong potential with a few thoughtful improvements.
