HISTORIC WATERFRONT MARION MOTOR LODGE IN DOWNTOWN ST AUGUSTINE, St. Augustine

Situated at the entrance to downtown St. Augustine, the hotel is a five-minute walk to St. George Street, where shops, cafés, and historic attractions line the pedestrian zone. Castillo de San Marcos is a 12-minute walk away, and the Bridge of Lions is visible from most rooms. Over 100 restaurants are within walking distance, including O C White's Seafood & Spirits, Cellar 6, and Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille, all 0.5 km away. The Old Town Trolley has a stop across the street, and tickets can be purchased at the front desk. Jacksonville International Airport is 76 km from the property. Parking is available from 1:00 PM on arrival day, and the car can remain until 3:00 PM on departure day - ideal for exploring on foot without moving the vehicle.

The hotel offers a range of room types: standard and deluxe king rooms, double queen rooms, and single queen rooms. Deluxe kings include a sitting area with a sofa and coffee table, while standard kings do not. Many rooms have private balconies, patios, or terraces overlooking the Mantanzas River or marina - single queen rooms on the ground floor have two chairs and a table in front of the room. All rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with a flat-screen TV (Netflix available), Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and mini-refrigerator. Bathrooms are private, though sink basins are located in the main living area in some rooms - a design typical of 1960s motor lodges. Upper-floor rooms are recommended for those sensitive to noise from above; ground-floor rooms can be requested for easier mobility access.

The property does not offer its own restaurant or breakfast service. However, the immediate neighbourhood is dense with dining options: Gaufres & Goods, Nonna's Trattoria, South A Philly, Peace Pie, J P Henley's, and Cellar 6 are all 0.5 km away. For seafood, O C White's Seafood & Spirits and Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille are within the same short walk. Guests wanting coffee or a quick bite in the morning will find cafés along St. George Street, a five-minute walk from the hotel.
