Hampton Inn St. Augustine Beach

This is a very nice Hampton Inn right on the beach beautiful facilities dining located right across the street I accidentally left my phone charger there and they are going to send it to me how’s that for service. The breakfast on Sunday was good, the staff friendly and accommodating.

Am I a hotel snob… yes. Lol. So with that being said. This hotel was just ok. It’s a little creepy on the inside. I’ve never seen a hotel with such a setup. It looks as if it could have possible previously been a outdoor hotel that they decided to enclose. It was just very different. The room itself was fine. My bed was comfy, room was clean. But I noticed a few stains on my towels when I held them up to the light.
Considering the large crowd they had during my overnight stay, the breakfast area was fully stocked and I was able to grab what I needed very quickly. Great location for the Diva Run event I attended. If you are going to the amphitheater, again this hotel is in a great location.
The venue definitely needs an upgrade, but overall not a bad place.

smell of room unbelievably awful-​cross between dirty socks and wet dog. carpet and most of the room shabby and in need of updating.
breakfast also in need of an overhaul. i’ve been to numerous hamptons and eaten in their breakfast rooms. this one is on the small side in room space, and the food offered is messy in presentation and low quality. few if any whole grain bread choices.
the only reason for a second star is because of the ocean view and location. this stay we got the fourth floor rather than the second floor last time. but the same beach is publicly accessible about a half mile down the road with free parking. there are other hotels just across the street away from the ocean, thus no ocean view.
fyi-​there is a new Embassy suites resorts going in just down the road also tho no building started. ocean front/​view.
would not return here unless knew it has been renovated.

I pretty much only stay at Hilton chain hotels as I am a Hilton Honors member with diamond elite status. This is by far the worst Hampton I have stayed at, and I’ve stayed at a lot of them.
First, it badly needs updating. The room décor was hideous.
Second, it’s not exactly on the beach but pretty far off set from it.
Third, the room did not seem clean, we found a spent coke bottle along the baseboard of the bed. Housekeeping… look under the bed skirts.
I booked an ocean front room with a deck. I checked in and got stuck on second floor (room 207) where we could barely see the water over the dunes. I used my points for the room and believe I got stuck on a lower level and sub par room because of it. I was fed some bs about all the upper floors were already reserved when I was checking in early and could not pick any particular room on line in advance.

We stayed here in October of2014. Room are clean, plenty of space. A very close walk to beach. Free wifi need a car to go to st. Augustine old town. The breakfast was a 4 out of 5 eggs, beacon, bread, fruit, waffles great coffee in the room as well as at breakfast. Highly recommend.

Good value, GREAT location, and a very personable front desk staff! Clean rooms, accommodating and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! Our room was on the first floor with a patio that was connected right to the pool/​hot tub area! One wish is that there was a gate on our patio fence so we could get to the pool without having to leave the room. You couldn’t possibly ask for easier access to the huge beach. Also a great playground that my 4 year old LOVED!

The view from our balcony was great, the friendless of the staff even better. However the bed sucked I would rather have slept in the chair. The access to beach and breakfast was ideal and better than expected they must get better beds and larger TVs to make this an ideal place.

I love this hotel & the staff. They have the best general manager EVER, Kristin! This is our 2^nd trip & they welcomed us back like family. They are so very accommodating & ready to offer suggestions & pointers on what to do & how to make the most of our visit. We have never had better customer service at any hotel ever!!!

Off to a bad start, 1 hour check in delay. No fans in the bathrooms.

Hilton Garden Inn was sold out so we tried the Hampton. Beautiful hotel by the beach. Clean & modern rooms with patios. Complimentary breakfast from 6 – 10, complimentary cookies at 7pm, and complimentary coffee/​tea/​hour cocoa all the time. Friendly staff. Decent gym with updated equipment. Pool and hot tub located inside.

First off, staff was great!!! Only reason it got a 3 star…
Stayed in room 316, just for a night
Asked for a double queen bed suite.
Call me crazy but those must of been FULL size… They felt tiny!!!
I have stayed at Hampton inns through out the US and their quality standard for this room was not the same. (I travel very regular due to my job although this was a family trip which is what made it even more disappointing, after my daughter had found a room at a holiday inn of some sorts in the area I told her NOWAY!!! After seeing the Hampton inn, I said to her that (Hampton inns had better rooms) BOY DID I FEEL STUPID!!!
I regret to say I was disappointed in the room.
AGAIN, the person on staff (Shannon) was super polite and helpful. I have no complaints on the customer service
We didn’t eat in the breakfast area due to time restraints but it did seem tiny for the amount of rooms on the property.
Probably won’t be staying there again.
Thanks,

Just checked in. Nice front desk person. Got to room. Tv doesn’t work. They are trying to fix it and won’t let me change rooms yet.
Lumbar pillows on the bed don’t look like they’ve been washed for a month or more.
We’ll see how it goes from here…
OK. Spent the night. Loud people in the hallway.
Not my kind of property. Nuff said.

Location is great! The beachfront description is true. We stayed in room 201, which had a beach front view. While the location should be enough to give this property 2 thumbs up, being a Hilton Honors member and frequent guest of other Hampton Inns across the country, this room needed a lot of improvement. Please change the bed! It is hollow in the center. Almost felt like sleeping in a hammock.

Well, this is not so good.
I’m a Hampton Inn regular (a HHonors Diamond), and have stayed in dozens of them throughout the country. This is a poor one. Here’s my rundown:
GOOD:
— Location is great.
— Private beach is big and right out back.
BAD:
— It needs a full renovation. It is old. The hallways are dark. The carpet is worn.
— The breakfast area is TINY. Read more below.
— The parking lot is too small and gets completely full every night.
Breakfast is a disaster. It’s tiny. There are about six 4-​top tables, maybe six 2-​tops, and that’s it. It was totally slammed every morning. The line for food was 15 people deep, and blocked the coffee. Trashcans were overflowing. Tables were filthy. It’s just woefully inadequate for the number of rooms and guests at this property.
So I’m disappointed. Hampton is usually very consistent, and I trust them. They let me down at this site. It is just not up to the standards of Hampton Inn.

I love being a Hilton Honors member. Seriously one of the best decisions I ever made and I am not joking. American Express/​Hilton Honors — watch your points GROW. Plus your incentive to frequent Hilton properties when you travel. Game on.
So here we are… best girlfriends weekend, St Augustine Florida and we found a Hampton Inn on A1A on the beach for a very reasonable cost. $ 179 a night. Bit much for a Hampton but it’s on the beach. You walk out and you are on the beach.
The staff is AWESOME. Front desk, housekeeping. Just amazing. You get the same consistent service anytime of the hour or day. When you pull up the property is very Florida. By that I mean screaming pink building. Plus, the property is older. It’s not NEW so you have to manage your expectations a bit compared to other Hampton Inn properties. We had our own balcony. Our own micro, fridge. The shower pressure was awesome. The pool was perfect. There is a whirl pool as well. The fitness center looked very small but again, who wants to go there when you roll outside of your bed and you’re at the beach? And I LOVE to workout! :)
Would totally go back in an instant. One of the best hotel experiences ever.

Pretty good place! If you haven’t been here for a while you’ll notice the beach is about 7−8x larger since Feb. 2012. The city spent $ 49 million re-​sanding the beach. This happens every 8 years. Fabulous beach!

Well, I just really like this place. Not super cheap for a Hampton but it’s on the beach so it’s to be expected. Front office staff very friendly. Let me upgrade to the jacuzzi room. Mostly I wanted to be beach side rather than street side. Having the jacuzzi in the main room, not in the bathroom just made me think that my room had seen some action if you know what I mean.
Liked having a pool and the ocean right there. Ate across the street so didn’t need to drive anywhere. Breakfast was fine. We got a table but it’s not a huge area so some had to eat in the hall.
Will stay here again when I come back in the fall.

Friendly Staff. Amber at the front desk was so lovely and had a very cute southern accent! Stephanie from Breakfast was a nice lady too. A man asked her why she got a big smile on her face. She said ”because I woke up today”!
Amber informed us that their homebaked cookies served at 7pm is a must have, so we got there to have the cookies! They were super yummy like she said.
Breakfast is included and it’s very standard, eggs, sausage, waffle maker, fruits, coffee, tea, yogurt, muffins, pastries, bagels, cereal, oatmeal.
It’s right by the beach so if you get an ocean view room, you will see the beach (with swimming pool, and maybe a small parking lot in between), but it is nice to leave the balcony door open to listen to the sound of waves.
Overall, a good experience and would go back again.

The hotel is pretty standard for a Hampton Inn, being in the «budget» tier of Hilton properties. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the A/​C worked great.
What sets this place apart though, is the whirpool tub rooms and the proximity to the beach.
I opted to splurge a bit and get a room with a whirlpool tub. Separate from the bathroom and shower, this tub sits out in the open right next to the bed [see photos]. Let’s just say… it’s a good room for couples.
Each water-​facing room has a little patio in the back with a couple of chairs, should you want to catch a sunrise or just hang out [see photo].
Through the lobby to the back of the hotel is a door that lets you out to the pool and the boardwalk to the private beach entrance. It’s nice. I walked out there in the morning, stopped about halfway down the boardwalk to watch a few wild rabbits hopping around and nibbling in a grassy area, and continued out to the beach entrance.
A couple of minor annoyances: The parking lot is too small to handle a full hotel. We got back late one night and I had to park under the overhang by the front door. When I woke up in the morning, I went out and there was at least four cars under that overhang. The room that they have the free breakfast items in is also too small for a crowd. It was a nightmare trying to get through all of the people that were waiting in line, or just milling about aimlessly. No tables were available so we had to go out into the pool area to eat. Also, they ran out of little cream cheese tubs for the bagels and when they put more out, they were frozen solid.
Still not a bad place. We’ll come back as the opportunity arises.

So let me start by saying in the end this was a great hotel… However in the beginning when we first arrived after our 7 hour drive I had to take a pretty significant dunkus. I went into the lobby bathroom only to find to my horror blood vomit and fecal matter all over the place. OMFG! Well needless to say I took my dunkus elsewhere! Okay now that I got that off my chest I can talk about the room. Our room was large and clean it faced the street but still provided wonderful views. Our ac was cold and the sheets were clean. The location is great you can walk to just about any beach attraction that St. Augustine has to offer. The frat boys had the hot tub outside on lock down the entire time we were there I take this as a sign that it was a decent tub… The complimentary breakfast was good. Not great but good. The elevator didn’t eat me which is another plus. I would recommend this hotel to my friends. By the looks of some of the exteriors of the competition I think we made the right decision.
Oh I just remembered the wifi is free however we had to connect with our code way too often. Free is good but this was a pain in the butt.
