A place to stay in St. Augustine
St. Francis Inn sits in St. Augustine, Florida, and has been taking guests for long enough that the building itself is part of the story. The property runs a garden, an outdoor pool, an outdoor fireplace, and a terrace — enough to keep you on-site between exploring the city. Rooms range from compact doubles starting at $271 to 38 m² suites at $415. Several include a spa tub, a balcony, or a patio. Free parking and free Wi-Fi are standard across the board, and breakfast is available.

The garden and outdoor spaces
The grounds include a garden, a terrace, outdoor furniture, and a working fireplace for cooler evenings. It gives the property a sense of physical depth that a standard city hotel block rarely has.
The outdoor pool
The outdoor swimming pool is one of the more practical reasons to choose this property over alternatives in the area. Several room categories look directly onto it, including the Basic Queen Room and the Superior King Suite.
Room character and variety
Twelve room types spread from 15 m² classic queens to 38 m² suites. The upper categories add spa tubs, patios, and balconies. The Deluxe King Room and King Room with Whirlpool both have a balcony, a patio, and a spa tub.
Courtyard and garden views
Most rooms face the garden or inner courtyard rather than a street. The layout gives a sense of enclosure that is more pleasant than a standard parking-lot view, though the exact aspect varies by room type.

“I did not like that they advertised an outdoor pool and this was closed! The reason I booked this bed and breakfast was for the pool access. I was very disappointed.”
“The Inn is located right in the historic district and only a short walk from the major attractions. The room was cozy and clean, the breakfast was really good and everyone was very nice.”
“The kindness, the caring about everything from garden to breakfast. They try to make everything special.”
“We arrived only 5 minutes late and were told by a staff member that we needed to find another place for breakfast. This left us with a very negative impression.”
