    The only downside was the $25 overnight parking fee.

    Perfect location

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very convenient

    Though not fault of the hotel's management - street racers raced up and down Avenida Menendez from the fort to the Bridge of Lions and back from around 8 or 9pm until after midnight on the two nights (Friday and Saturday night) we stayed at the hotel. Gunning of the engines and backfiring the engines were very loud and prevented us from falling asleep before they stopped around midnight. A couple times they even purposely backfired the engine on Hypolita St right behind our room. The desk clerk said she did not know why the St Augustine police do not stop the racers. At the same time she did not mention if hotel staff ever call the police to report the disturbances caused by the cars. For a quieter evening in your room, you might consider a hotel not on this stretch of Avenida Menendez.

    The location was the best asset. Room met my needs. Staff was helpful and cordial.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Hotel location was excellent, right across from the water and central to everything. We were able to choose a first floor room which was appreciated since we had luggage and there is no elevator. There was very little room at the foot of the bed between the bed and refrigerator, which made it a tight squeeze to walk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Easy check in process, even 30 mins early. Friendly front desk and a wonderful parking assistant.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We had a great experience. It is a great location, and we were lucky enough to get the room with a huge picture window overlooking the water. Definitely worth the cost if it is available.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff is super nice and location excellent to the Fort. Clean and near every food you could want.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was right next to every thing. Just walk out the door and you’re there. You will have to pay for parking but it was cheaper than parking on the street.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The mattress was a little to firm for me, everything else ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ clean room, clean bathroom, nice big Towels. Staff friendly and helpful A/C worked well. Great Location. With in walking distance to historical downtown and a lot of Restaurants. Across the street from the river front. Short drive to the light house. I will stay here again. 👍

    Good location Parking

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location is absolutely perfect. So close to attractions, bars, restaurants, and shops. It's a little pricey for the type of hotel, but you can't beat the location. Well worth the price if you love the historic district. Parking is a little tight, but they have an attendant that will guide you.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It was in a good location near restaurants, shopping....

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Perfect spot for all the stores and restaurants… wish the bed was a little softer.. but over all it was a great stay!!!.. we will be back!!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location, Sherri, at the front desk is always helpful and accommodating. No breakfast, but you receive a discount at cafe next door, which was delightful. We love staying there! Can’t complain.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Cutest best western I’ve ever stayed in and central to everything. Parked and didn’t move car the entire weekend.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room was very nice and up to date. Staff reserved a parking space for us. Location could not have been better!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Very nice front staff. Rooms are very small, but fine for a short stay with just the two of us. Location can’t be beat!! Rooms have a coffee maker and fridge, as well as a microwave.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We enjoyed our first stay at the Best Western Historic Bayfront. The room was clean and we actually had a view of the water when looking out the window even though it wasn't considered a "bay view". The office staff was very friendly and helpful and the parking staff was also very friendly and helpful. The location was great. Everything is very close..We could walk anywhere we needed to go. The only downfall which isn't their fault is the bar noise from the street behind the hotel. The music is loud until 1am.
