"Go To" Lodging When Visiting St. Augustine”

The Southern Oaks Inn has become our go to lodging choice in St. Augustine for a number of reasons: 1. The rooms are always clean and comfortable 2. The staff is universally friendly and helpful 3. The breakfast is varied and excellent 4. The historic center of St. Augustine is a short Uber/Lyft ride away (parking is a real challenge 5. "The Devil's Triangle," an outstanding food truck, restaurant, and chocolate/dessert shop, is a couple of hundred yards north of the property.

Much more than expected”

Our weekend getaway was perfect. As soon as I stepped into the lobby I could smell how clean it is. The rooms were super clean and up to date, the staff was very helpful and nice and breakfast was EVERYTHING! We didn’t use the pool, but we were given excellent recommendations on tours and transportation. The $3 tour guy was awesome. We’ve decided to make this place OUR spot in St. Augustine. Thanks, Southern Oaks!

This is my second stay at Southern Oaks Inn and it won't be my last. Everyone on the staff is super friendly. They serve a fabulous breakfast every morning. And the location is great. You aren't in the historic area but you are àbout two minutes away via a back road. I can't say enough about this hotel and I can't wait to go back!

The staff at Southern Oaks was exceptional. From the from desk to housekeeping, everyone we interacted with was cheerful, helpful and kind. The rooms were tastefully updated with tile and laminate flooring. Our children enjoyed the pool. We were near the places we wanted to visit during our two-day stay. The full, hot breakfast was a surprise and a convenient feature offered by the hotel. We would stay again.

Clean. Simple. ”

Stayed on a Monday night and for $73 inc fees and taxes. It was awesome if youre looking for no frills just a hotel to sleep, rest and shower. It’s very clean and everything appears to be new and newly painted. No complaints. Exactly as it appears in pictures. Grounds were very clean and newly painted, too. I looked at the oool area. Simple but clean. Very friendly staff. The breakfast was good. Nothing h special, but had a decent selection and for the price charged per night and free breakfast, can’t beat it. Only negative and it’s very very minor. Bed a bit hard if that matters to you and water has a strong smell. Probably the city water. Water from shower does come out onto the floor as mentioned in other reviews but it was no big deal at all.

Will not stay here on our next visit. ”

This was our 2nd trip to St. Augustine. Last year was our first trip and we had such an amazing time, we decided to make it a yearly summer vacavtion spot. We had a great time visiting the city and shops. We did not look forward to returning to our room at the end is each day. PROS: The woman that cleaned our room was very friendly and hard working. CONS: Unfortunately, the room extremely small and seemed somewhat old and primitive. The bathroom was very small for the two of us and I did not care for the dated tub. There wasn’t anywhere to sit outside of your room and it was rather isolating. The breakfast was OK. I didn’t like how I had to “check in” at the desk in order to get breakfast. I was also unable to bring anything back to my room for my boyfriend who was also a paying guest. It felt micromanaged and not like a vacation. Last year we stayed at Jaybird Inn and absolutely loved the HUGE floor plan, the welcoming environment outside of the room, lobby and dining area.

Nice in every way”

Got good rate booking through Agoda (non-refundable). By phone, had requested downstairs room & that's what we got! Had been in room 10-15 minutes & front desk called to see if room was OK - never had that happen anywhere (very impressed). Room was clean & everything was accurate according to descriptions I had read. All rooms non-smoking (yeah); designated smoking areas only. Stayed 3 nights; ate breakfast every morning @ the hotel; very good hot breakfast w/ nice staff; menu changed each day (cheese grits were every day & yum -- were they good!). Only complaint is sheets were NOT changed during our stay (most hotels ask if you want them changed but they did not) & floors were not swept (could feel grit on floor). Lighting in room was very good (not so with most hotel rooms); bright LED lights. We stayed in the front section so we were close to busy road; did not hear any outside noise. Would we stay there again? Absolutely! Staff was outstanding.

Not worth the money”

The room was clean the breakfast was good but that's where it stops. The mattress was cheap and hard to sleep on as far as the shuttle we called twice to use it and was told it was too much traffic and they couldn't pick us up. This was the first time in Saint Augustine for us and wanted some information the best way to get around whether to do a trolley or drive they could not answer the question.we also wanted some referrals to some restaurants we where especifically looking for seafood ,someplace on the water to eat they could not provide me with this either we where told by the front desk that they were new and they did not know. Was also asked if I was any discount tickets or packages for the attractions we were told no everything was full price this also wasn't true. for the price of this hotel you're better off paying a little bit more money and staying downtown or pay a lot less money and stay 5 miles away since you have to use your car anyhow and pay for parking. I've never stayed in a motel or hotel that could not give you guidance or information for the area that they are located in. The website makes you believe they have a restaurant there is no also the shuttle that they make you believe they have is worthless and it's not free you have to pay for it as far as the location It's not convenient and less you'd like to take 45 minute walks to get where you wanna be

Great location for money”

We loved the complimentary shuttle service to the first trolley stop and the breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet is not your typical "continental" breakfast; it's nearly restaurant-style food! However, the lady that served the hot food to you was very rude and rolled her eyes at the customers. The fresh fruit was always run out. Also, the ice machine was always broke and there was never ice available for the juice and soda... But magically available for the milk to stay cold. (We stayed for 5 days and this was an issue ALL 5 DAYS!!) The ice machine nearest our room was also not working. They did not keep the water machine in the lobby filled. It was always empty as well. One day it was a heat index of 108 so water and ice should have been available for the guests. The rooms are very clean. I liked that the rooms are hardwood veneer floors and not carpeted. Beds very comfortable.
