BEST WESTERN HISTORICAL INN, St. Augustine

The hotel sits on a main road about 2 km from the centre of the historic district, making it a 20- to 25-minute walk to St. George Street, shops, and restaurants. The Castillo de San Marcos is 2 km (roughly 2 km) away, and Old Town trolley stops are accessible nearby. The location is well-suited for those who prefer to walk or take a short drive into the historic area. Parking in the historic district itself is metered, so using the hotel's paid on-site parking and walking or using the trolley is a practical option. St. Augustine Beach Pier is approximately 13 km away, and the St. Augustine Alligator Farm is 7 km from the hotel.

Standard rooms offer a tea/coffee maker, cable TV, ironing facilities, air conditioning, and a seating area. Tiled bathrooms are newly renovated with walk-in showers. A full two-bedroom suite is available on the second floor, complete with a full kitchen, separate dining room, and living area. Room types include king and queen options. The laminate floors are present throughout, a design choice that improves cleanliness perception, though some reports mention they could be cleaned more thoroughly. Windows are present for natural light. There are no balconies. Road-facing rooms may experience traffic noise; rooms near the designated smoking area (which has benches) can also be affected by smoke. The air conditioning units are in-wall and can be loud.

A complimentary breakfast is served each morning. The offering has included a breakfast buffet with hot items such as scrambled eggs, omelettes, Belgian waffles, and a yogurt machine with toppings, alongside cereals, bagels, pastries, fresh fruit, juice, and coffee. The breakfast format has shifted over time, including a 'Grab N Go' period; guests are advised to check the current arrangement before their stay. There is no on-site restaurant, but several dining options are within a short walk, including a food truck 0.5 km away and a hot dog stand and Subway each within 0.5 km.
