Villa 1565
The hospitality was amazing. The room was big. The only problem was the bed closest to the entry door kept making noise when you would sit down on it or turn in the bed. Also, there were ants in the bathroom other than that it was OK.

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.
