What Past Guests Love
- VERY NICE PLACE TO STAY - My wife and I have stayed in many B & B's in St Augustine over the last 20 years.We have been staying at The St George Inn for about the last 8 years exclusively. The buildings have been very well managed and upgraded. A good feature that I like it the sound proofing. We do not hear the trolley's or the people outside our windows as they stroll down St George St or as we overlook the cemetery. This is located across from the fort and the old city gate entrance. There are many good things I can say about this establishment. I did have one complaint several years ago with an employee. However, the owner fixed that issue very quickly, was very apologetic and gave us 2 free nights. We walk the city after dark, take my camera and shoot pictures of ORBS. A walking ghost tour is well worth the money and time.
- GREAT GETAWAY - Let me start by saying how great and accommodating the staff was. They made us feel so welcomed and really to great pride in their Inn. They let us upgrade to a room that had a balcony over St. George Street and it was perfect. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast in the lobby was everything you could ask for. The location was the best feature, it was on St. George street and had a great view of the Fort. We had the best time there and would definitely go back to this place.
- GREAT VIEW WITH A WONDERFUL STAFF - Room had wonderful view of the fort and inlet, clean and quaint. The staff was very friendly and helpful right from the beginning they took our car and parked it in the parking garage about a quarter mile away.Someone was always at the front desk ready to meet all our requests.
- FANTASTIC PLACE TO STAY - We've stayed here many times and this time was just as great as the rest. Rooms are clean and unique. Staff is extremely friendly. Everyone here takes pride in what they do. We look forward to our next stay.

- AWESOME ACCOMMODATIONS - The service and our room were the most we could ever hope for. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer as it was such a pleasant stay. The location to all that St. Augustine has to offer could not have been better. This was our second time staying at the St. George Inn and we will definitely be back.
- ENCHANTING - We loved staying at St. George. Staff and Inn were incredibly charming. Location was great and easy to move through the city. We were close to major attractions and the Alley which featured many wonderful shops and restaurants. We will come again.
- TRIP OF A LIFETIME - The staff was extra nice and friendly. The room was spotless. Our room had a view of the courtyard and the old cemetery across the street which added to the ghost walk. This was truly one if the best trips I've taken with my wife and we plan to return many more times.
