Hyatt Place St. Augustine/Vilano Beach
It was a beautiful art Deco hotel, the rooms were very nice. The bed's super comfy. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach and just a laid-back vilano Island was better than being in town where it's just crazy.

The Ponce St. Augustine Hotel
It was rundown. I was charged an extea $15fee when we got there. I was looking forward to sitting in the jacuzzi, but that was not working properly and wasnt very warm so i gave up. The only thing they had going for them was a hot shower.
