NEVER AGAIN. They claimed this is a renovated hotel, I would use the word MOTEL. It was clean (kind of), not like the hotels and resorts we are used to. I will give a disclaimer that I am kind-​of a hotel snob, I much prefer a Westin over anything else. That being said, we stayed here because we were in town for a reunion and that’s where everyone else was staying. To begin, when I made reservations 6 months ago, I asked to be roomed next to my in-​laws so they could help with the kids. NOT only did they not book us near each other, 2 different buildings at that, but they refused to move one or the other to be closer. The front desk attendant was rude and short with us and said «sorry, can’t help you». The room was a good size but they have automated thermostats. I swear the «cleaning» lady turned the AC down every time she came in, we set it to 70 when we left and every time we came home it was 82. I have a digital thermostat and know how to use it, so I think there was some foul play involved. The bathroom is TINY, my husband is 6’2″ and barely could turn around in there, there is NO tub to wash the kids in, just a really weird shaped shower. This leads me to the towels. We swam a lot in the UNHEATED pool (don’t get me started), so we used towels a lot, we have 2 kids, kids are messy. We expected fresh towels each day (there was NO place to hang the wet towels even if we wanted to reuse them). I think they picked up the WET towels from the floor and rolled them up nice to be put back on the shelf. They were still DAMP and REEKED of chlorine. About 3 days into the trip we all got this weird rash, I assume from the dirty towels. The hotel is right on a busy main drag that has cars all night long on it and was very noisy. But the WORST part, there are train tracks right at the hotel intersection, every time it went through it, it blasted his horn. YES at 1 am, 3 am, 5 am, you name it. We had the worst nights’ sleep ever, the entire week. On top of a screaming train, the beds were very uncomfortable and the pillow so limp it was like sleeping on nothing at all. The pool area was ok, small, but as I said, UNHEATED, even in the FL sun if the water is 60 degrees, its not inviting at all. And some days there were NO clean pool towels. Seriously. We didn’t even attempt the free continental breakfast cause each morning we couldn’t wait another second to leave this establishment. The location was ok, near downtown, not walking distance and close enough to beach access. The parking was tight, very narrow driveway and we had to nose in to every spot. Very annoying when you really just want to back in your minivan and unload on the curb. No, we had to nose in and walk all the way around the other cars. When we come back down to St. Augustine, we will stay at a different establishment, this was a disgrace. The town is very lovely and we had a great time in the old city.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Wonderful staff; wonderful rooms and a wonderful time. We have returned three times and all three times we were impressed. The restaurant there is wonderful too.

Hotel was really nice the parking is really cramped but the rooms a re well worth it rooms are clean and appear to be recently remodeled and the hotel was decently quiet it is close to the local attractions and it is decently priced

I stayed here with my GF when we were in St Augustine visiting her family. The inn was nice with a very helpful staff. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. I don’t usually like staying in motels in the middle of a bustling city, but this place was okay. The décor in the rooms was updated, nice tile floors made the room feel cozy. The lighting system was well done, with backlit wall features and a good color palette.
The motel is in the on the corner of two busy streets, so you will hear road noise all night. A train track is also very close, so at least twice we are awoken to a loud rumbling train speeding theough the night. The continental breakfast is mostly self-​serve waffles and yogurt. Not bad, but nothing special.
We enjoyed our time here and the staff made us feel quite welcome for the three nights we spent with them.
TL;DR: Good staff, okay amenities, bad location.

Pros: the staff was very friendly and helped us get to our touristy destinations with much grace.
Cons: the toilet was it bolted to the ground; it’s good that neither of us got drunk, we may have broken the toilet trying to take a poo. The bed had no headboard and was not bolted to the wall; every morning we woke up about a foot from the wall with our pillows on the floor. All the pillows in the hotel were so tiny that we ended up buying some at Walmart.
Super cons: finally, the art. These hideous vulture pictures hung on the wall and watched our every move. We had to cover one of them with a Walmart bag to keep our sanity.

Don’t let the motor court exterior fool you. This IS A MODERN boutique Inn. Fully updated, totally clean, very comfortable with lots of space in the King rooms. Upgraded beds and pillows! Activity center is sparse, outdated and in almost fair condition. If you are here to workout, then consider run on beach or state park trails. Friendly helpful staff from check in to dinner. Food is very good, oversized portions, reasonably priced and quick in/​out. Good lication, quiet rooms aside from a once daily train whistke. Definitely recommend

I enjoyed my stay at the Jaybird’s Inn. I got the recommendation from Unilocalers, and I made my reservation on
. They attempted to call a few days before to confirm my reservation, but they didn’t leave a message. I called them back (just in case), and everything was fine. I was only there in the evening to sleep, so I can’t comment on anything but that.
LOCATION: It’s located 1.7 miles from the heart of St. Augustine’s historic district (I.e. Flagler College). It wasn’t hard to get there, and I Ubered most of the time. They said it was okay for me to leave my car there. It’s located near some train tracks, so as some Unilocalers said, you’ll hear the horn until around 11 PM and beginning at 7 AM. I’m not a late sleeper, so that didn’t bother me. If it does, bring some ear plugs. Also, this is not too far from a main road, so you will hear some traffic at night. No big deal to me.
THE ROOM: I stayed in a room across from the restaurant. They were nice and renovated. My room was a bit warm/​humid, but I ended up turning on the AC and that solved the problem. The rooms were clean, and the beds were very comfortable. For the price, you’re getting a great value. I didn’t have any issues with getting hot water within 15 seconds. They have a lot of amenities, such as a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
SERVICE: The front desk was very helpful. Everyone was nice.
There’s breakfast included. I was able to watch Netflix on the wifi, just make sure you are connected to the wifi that has a stronger connection to where you’re located. I’d probably stay here again.

From the Outside this place looks ehhh and the parking is tight. But on the inside this is a Fantastic Hotel. Clean Rooms, Quiet, and affordable. Its about 2 or 3 Miles from the Historic District but extremely easy to Über or walk from. Would definitely stay here again.

Exactly what we were looking for. I was never a fan of exterior door hotels but would definitely do this place again. Recently renovated and well worth the $ 80.

We got this room through a Priceline Express Deal. They run a great motel. It is a motel, so there is some road noise, but it wasn’t bad. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was extremely helpful. The room was clean and well furnished. The water was a little slow getting hot– but if that’s the worst thing you have to say about a motel, you’re doing pretty good! We had a great time in St. Augustine.

I love jay birds I’m only sad that they no longer allow animals due to health compliance — the atmosphere outside was supposed to dog friendly. I sincerely hope they change that because really was a plus!

I was shocked at this place. Room was like new renivated. Restaurant was great. I will return.

What a great find! We stayed here for a wedding and were very, pleasantly surprised! Our room had ample parking spots available directly in front of it. The room was very spacious and updated. Most importantly, it was clean & fresh! We had a great stay. The staff was very friendly and polite.

If you’re looking for a clean comfortable place for a couple of nights, stay here! It was well kept and recently renovated. The only cons were the shower curtain was a little too short and water came out all over the floor and the train noise which most people have mentioned. We didn’t try the continental breakfast but jaybirds restaurant right across the way has awesome service and food! Upon check in at the inn they give you 10 dollars off your Jaybirds breakfast for every day you’re booked which was an unexpected treat!

Excellent place to stay. Just short of 2 miles from Historic District, The room was immaculate ~ very clean and comfortable. Shower was a bit of an issue as water got all over floor. Need to adjust that and was advised management was aware of issue. I would also like to see a curtain or some kind of door at the bathroom vanity to provide more privacy. With a family of 3 or more staying in a room, there was really no where to comfortably dress/​bathroom very small. Wifi is a little weak.
Other than that, we were very pleased with the motel and the staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly.
We were advised the motel is expanding as well.
I would stay at Jaybird’s Inn again … Exceptional value for the money.

Pros: redone not so long ago looks neat inside,
Can bike to everything in st Augustine.
Breakfast was nice.
Pool is. Nice
Restaurant was nice next door.
Cons: bathroom or AC kept making a loud noise every 5 mins.
Near train heard a loud horn through the night.
Shower leaked all over place they need a bigger certain.

very nice, clean and utd with amenities in the room. I have mild ocd and I am very very picky about where I stay, sleep and shower, this place gave me no anxiety at all. I just spent three miserable nights at the hotel over by Busch gardens in tampa and I wanted to throw up every time I walked into the room, it was only because the hubby and I only slept there and didnt stay in the room long that I didnt run out the door screaming. Jaybirds may be a motel but it is the best I have stayed at besides the hotel on NAVY bases and the hostel in chicago. Their free breakfast starts at 6 which is great and the front desk guy gave us great directions to the best beach to watch the sunrise. The bed could have been more firm, that is about my only complaint and even then its just softer than my bed at home.

Any time I can enjoy a sound sleep while away from home goes a long way towards making me think favorably of the place where I am staying. And a good night’s sleep is exactly what I enjoyed here.
Jaybird’s Inn is a moderately priced, conveniently located and all-​around solid place to stay while in the St. Augustine area.
Perched along the busy multi-​lane Ponce de Leon Blvd., it might be wise to request a room far away from the heavy traffic. It helped alleviate some of the sound from the surroundings. A nice neighborhood and another commercial strip is just behind this inn so there are lovely places to stroll and run nearby. Nice not to be locked and blocked in by a network of high speed highways.
The inn has bikes or you can bring your own which might be the best way to really get around this somewhat compact city. I saw a good number of folks leisurely cycling which suggests the area may be more bike-​friendly then most.
I liked the overall look of the room which featured flooring rather than carpeting, lots of lights, a good size desk with comfortable chairs, a coffee maker, microwave and mini-​frig, spacious shower and a stylish color scheme.
The room charge includes a continental breakfast which was basic but quite adequate with baked goods, yogurt, make-​your-​own waffles, cereal, oatmeal, coffee and juice. There is a lovely pool area and even a fitness room with some weights, bands, stability balls etc. on site. This would seem like a great place for people who don’t need room service or a lot of luxury but want a comfortable, contemporary place to stay that can be the perfect hub for a day of sightseeing, outlet shopping and taking day trips to the beach.
Big plus and points for the quantity and quality of the bathroom towels that were thick and plentiful.

Fresh, clean and spacious, and newly remodeled with Eco-​consciousness in calming colors. Cozy beds and a nice bathroom with a powerful shower. Mini kitchen area with microwave, fridge and coffee pot with Starbucks pods.
Some road noise was an issue, but it is a motel, so that is to be expected. Not sure I would stay again as I am a light sleeper.
Really enjoyed the free bike rental. Cool lending library and office center in lobby. Breakfast was just ok, mostly bread/​cereal, some fruit would be nice: styrofoam is not a good choice for a «green» hotel.
Cheers–
