QUALITY INN ST AUGUSTINE OUTLET MALL, St. Augustine

The hotel sits on the east side of I-95, putting it 3 km from St. Augustine Premium Outlets and a short 9 km drive from historic St. Augustine. Vilano Beach is 13 km away and the main St. Augustine beaches are 12-24 km. The immediate area has a McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Subway, and Ruby Tuesday within 1 km. The Old Town Trolley picks up at the hotel, making it easy to visit the historic district without a car. The driveway entrance can be tricky to spot but parking is free and ample. While the location is safe and ideal for a road trip stop, some road noise from the parking lot can be heard in certain rooms.

Rooms are accessed from outside and have a motel-style layout. Each includes a coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, a 34-inch flat-screen TV with HDMI, and a seating area. Air conditioning and heating are provided. The en-suite bathrooms are described as very small; some may have a large soaker tub but cleanliness and conditions vary. All rooms are non-smoking. While some units feel renovated with modern sinks and laminate floors, others show signs of age: patches, stained chairs, worn door paint. Bedding receives mixed feedback - some find mattresses comfortable, others note dips or squeaks. Noise from the parking lot and hallway can be an issue, and light-blocking curtains are not effective. Requesting a room away from the parking lot may improve sleep quality.

The hotel offers a breakfast of grab-and-go bags that include juice, coffee, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, grits, and egg and cheese sausage croissants. Hot breakfast sandwiches are available on request. The breakfast area is small and the offerings are basic - waffles, bread for toasting, and sometimes biscuits and gravy have been noted. The breakfast is a free, carb-focused option. For a broader choice, a Starbucks and several fast-food restaurants like McDonald's and Subway are within a short walk or drive.

The hotel features an outdoor swimming pool with a fence around it, open all year, and offers a pool with a view overlooking a lake. Pool/beach towels and sun umbrellas are available. The pool area is quiet and located at the rear of the property. Note that the pool has been noted as occasionally closed for maintenance, so it's worth checking availability if swimming is a priority.

Wi-Fi is free in all areas. A business center with fax/photocopying services is available at no charge. Express check-in/check-out and a 24-hour front desk are standard. Laundry and vending machines (snacks and drinks) are on site. Parking is free and requires no reservation. The property is pet-friendly with a $15/night fee and designated pet rooms. Smoke alarms, key card access, and fire extinguishers are in place. There is no elevator, so first-floor rooms are available for those with mobility needs. Service quality is generally described as very friendly and helpful, though a few reports cite less helpful interactions.
