Casablanca Inn On The Bay

First off finding the place was a chore. The GPS directed us to a drivway and we pulled in a little alley with no clear signs for hotel entrance It was very difficult to back out of this alley but we did. Unable to find the entrance, we called the hotel. a lady was very patient and directed us back to the same alley. There was a ramp on the side that led to the hotel entrance but it was not clear. We unpacked our luggage and then had to park our car in a lot the next street over. The spaces were very tight. The hotel left a lot to be desired. To get to our room in the main building we had to walk by the kitchen to which the door was open, noisy, and not very appealing. Our room was ok. Also when we walked in there was work being done and again not appealing. At the entrance to the bar was a large garbage bag with brooms sitting right there. The building overall needs updating and paint. As we walked on the outside the front rooms had wrought iron fence in need of paint and even one of the numbers on the door was dangling off. The breakfast was decent. I must say the staff was very friendly, The location is good.

We stopped in here for lunch and cocktails after touring the area. The outside terrace is charming and this is a great spot for harbor views and people watching. Our service was excellent and we loved our meal. The lunch sandwiches are very good and worth the price given the atmosphere and location of this restaurant. I can't say enough good things about this gem.

It was only 1 night we stayed there as we were traveling north to NC we stopped at this bed and breakfast hotel. It was super cute, the atmosphere was awesome it took us back in time with the antique details of the room. Friendly receptionist, waiter hostess, bartender at Tini Martini...drinks were awesome specially they give you 1 pp complementary drink, I mean we just had a great night. Breakfast was awesome. We definitely be back for the whole weekend...

We stayed 2 nights in Mid May in room 3 if the Main House. The room was very musty and damp. There was a Real humidity problem. They had a can of “damp rid” under the night stand which was full of water. So it clearly needed changing and wasn’t helping. I know it’s Florida but it was May and the humidity wasn’t bad at all outside. The room has a bad humidity issue. Also as can be seen by the attached photos we had some unexpected and unwelcome visitors to the room. Very disconcerting. Also towel bar in bathroom was falling off the wall as was the shower valve! Staff was top notch. Excellent service. Also location is perfect. But the room itself left a lot to be desired. They were full up so there was no changing rooms. Pic 1 is the gecko. Pic 2 is the palmetto bug. Pic 3 is breakfast view and pic 4 is hotel at night.

So my boyfriend and I were passing through St Augustine on our back to Orlando on a Sunday and decided to stop at the Tini Martini recommended by a bartender in Jax beach. After a couple of delicious martinis, mine being an espresso martini and his a traditional dirty we figured it was best to stay the night. We went to the front desk greeted by Julian and he helped us get a room at the Casablanca Inn. Included in the room was a complementary martini and breakfast. We were so lucky getting a room last minute and Julian was such a gracious host. Even walked us to our parking area because I was so confused reading the map. I definitely want to go back (actually booking a couple of days to stay as I’m writing this review). The staff was friendly and it’s a beautiful little historic Inn. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks Julian, your awesome!
