Convenient Access to the Beach and Pet-Friendly
Review From: NexTag Editorial Review, Jun 9, 2008
Situated only five miles from historic downtown St. Augustine, the Holiday Inn St. Augustine Beach provides a convenient location close to all attractions. The downtown area is loaded with unique shops and museums all along old, cobbled streets. The St. Augustine Lighthouse is four miles away, and the Anastasia State Park is only two miles away. Shoppers will want to visit the St. Augustine Outlet Malls located 18 miles from the hotel.This five-story Holiday Inn features 151 guest rooms, with 113 of them being non-smoking. Room amenities include color television, coffeemakers, ironing boards, and telephones with voicemail. The north side rooms have recently undergone a $2 million renovation and now feature private balconies. The south side rooms still have noisy sliding balcony doors that are hard to open. The hotel offers a fitness center and a pool with deck and tiki bar. Guests can also access the beach easily from the hotel and rent umbrellas and chairs to lounge in. Pets are allowed on the second floor for a fee. Guests who are allergic to pets or prefer not to sleep in a pet-friendly room should request not to be on this floor. Overall, for a convenient beach vacation with access to a historic town, the Holiday Inn St. Augustine Beach is an excellent choice.
