The hotel sits 11 km from Vilano Beach and 20 km from St. Augustine Beach. Downtown St. Augustine - including Castillo de San Marcos (11 km) and Flagler College (12 km) - is a 20-minute drive. The Old Town Trolley stops at the hotel (pickup 9-11am, return 4-5pm) for downtown touring. Several chain restaurants (Taco Bell, Denny's, etc.) are within 1-2 km. Interstate noise is minimal, and the area is quiet and well-lit, with ample free parking. The location is practical for road trips, outlet shopping, and visiting Busch Gardens (10 km).

Room types include double, quadruple, studio, and family rooms, all with private bathrooms (walk-in shower or tub/shower) and free toiletries. Studio and family rooms feature a seating area and are wheelchair accessible with grab rails. Bed configurations range from one king to three beds. All rooms have a tea and coffee maker, wardrobe, carpeted floors, and heating. Noise levels are generally low, though rooms near the elevator or with noisy neighbours may be less quiet - earplugs are sometimes available at reception. After renovation, rooms are well-appointed and comfortable. Some earlier reports of dated decor and maintenance issues should no longer apply to newly refreshed units.
