    I was trying since early February to get ground floor rooms next to each other due to having surgery on right foot, needing surgery on left, difficulty walking and doing steps. Stopped in around 9am, was treated well by Cheyenne, secured 1 ground floor room. Check-in was a different story. Your desk person was very rude. At 3:10 pm I was trying to get second room near my room. I was told it was shift change, can't check in. I was just trying to get 2nd room ground level for my disabled grandson. She (not Cheyenne) didn't care. I had to wait until 4pm to request but of course too late. We were told rooms werent ready at 3:20 which was fine. Amazingly we sat by pool and never saw housekeeping cleaning any rooms. They actually were ready. Our 2nd room had electrical problems. No bathroom light. Fourth time at Southern Oaks, never had a problem with staff before. I am an easy going, patient, understanding person. Not disgruntled. Cheyenne was the most pleasant helpful person during our 3 day stay. I hope she's there when we return with out-of-towners for Nights of Lights. I will book under my husband's name as I did in January to ensure a smooth check-in as I will need ground floor for both rooms again. Other than rude check-in, it was fabulous as always. Breakfast staff are always fabulous and the food is great!! Until then, no more recommendations to my co-workers and friends. See you in January!

    I always enjoy my stay at Southern Oaks. It is clean and quiet. Van shuttle service is a great plus. Breakfast is always fantastic.

    This is a classic American motor inn with outside entrance to the rooms. So far so good, but, at my age I missed having an elevator for luggage. Small bean, though.

    The breakfast was really good. Old fashioned American fare, well prepared and fresh.

    Our friends that we traveled with were on the first floor but thier room smelled like urine. It was absolutely disgusting!

    Our room was very clean, though being on the 2nd floor was not convenient for my husband who has a hard time with stairs and no elevator.

    Room and especially bathroom was in need of good cleaning. Breakfast was very odd, as there was server and she refused to give us more food with explanation there is more people coming and than they would have shortage. We never had this experience before and since we paid almost 200$ per room and night, it was very bizarre.

    Awesome check in staff. Free shuttle to historic center was awesome.

    Very cute, affordable and clean Inn. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Traveled with a small dog and having the dog park at the Inn was wonderful. Very short stay so did not get to use the pool however it looked nice. Room was clean and comfy. Shuttle from Inn to downtown is so appreciated. Great Place!

    Nothing comes to mind. I would just say that Saint Augustine’s attractions are not all pet friendly and neither are many of the bars and restaurants but that is not the hotel’s fault.

    It is pet friendly. Their dog park is a huge bonus. Never seen that before. The free bus is awesome especially since we could bring our dog. We used this service every day. The staff were lovely. ♥️

    The bed and pillows were not exactly to our liking, but that is a matter of preference and has nothing to do with the hotel itself.

    The staff was courteous and informative. The shuttle was on prompt and on time.

    The breakfast room was kind of noisy for a not so much of a morning person! Confusion about maid service availability. Not available every day without special request?? There was no information available about the area in the room. I guess because of everyone having cell phones for that info.

    Selections of food were good with enough variety. Had hot choices which included eggs meats and carbs. The breakfast room was fairly conveniently located. There were a good number of restaurants near the facility.
