Hotel St. Augustine - Miami Beach, USA     

Our stay at St. Augustine was mostly enjoyable. We agree with other reviewers: shower is excellent! We like the "boutique" hotel feel and spa soaps & robes. Continental breakfast with pastries was great! We also enjoyed the Nikki Beach passes available during the week. Parking is next to hotel. We found the air conditioning to be louder than normal and walls thin. We could hear tv's and talking in other rooms. With all the positive amenities this place has, we would reccommend it to others.

This is my fourth year in a row coming down to South Beach. I like to try a different "boutique" hotel everytime. This trip I choose Hotel St. Augustine. I read good reviews, liked what I saw on their website and liked that it was two blocks back from Ocean Drive so that it was quiet and as crazy but...close to the crazy! I was not disappointed. I very much loved my room (queen) and, yes, the shower is open but I was traveling by myself so that was not at all an issue. As a woman, I loved the shower/steam as well as the full vanity. I also read about the in-room CD player and surround sound so I brought CDs and enjoyed getting ready to music. The continental breakfast in the morning was good; everything you would need to start the day - coffee, milk, OJ, cereal, yogurt and pastries. While I might agree that the carpet could use a little bit of refreshing and the bar wasn't open when I was there, I would say that except for sleeping, the only time I was in my room was to get ready to go to the beach or to go out. If you are spending more time in your room than that, then you just aren't experiencing South Beach! I would very much recommend this hotel. Loved the dog too!!!
