This is a nice little place to stay. A short distance to walk to the historical area, shops and restaurants. Nestled on the bay front, the view of the marina and bridge of Lions.We found the room to be clean and neat and we enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful.This is an older motel but they've done a nice job with renovating and making the rooms more modern.Just a few criticisms: there are no towel hooks in the bath/shower area. While the shower area is very nice with the tile, there needs to be a safety handle/grab bar installed in the shower for those that may need that. The shower in our room did not have one installed.The bed slept well enough, however, the pillows were not good in my opinion, but that's a personal preference.Overall, this is a nice place to stay and we would stay again.Nearby activities: Near the historical area, shops and restaurants.Walkability: Short walk to the historical area shops and restaurants.

As someone who is picky about where they stay, I must say that I loved the Marion Motor Lodge. From beginning to end the service was excellent. The location is convenient and very close to St George St where all the fun is. The rooms are comfortable and clean! I had also left my wallet contents in the room and they were kind enough to contact me and offer to have a company post it to my home states away! Can’t speak highly enough of my experience with the Marion Motor Lodge!

Pros: close proximity to everything you'd wanna see for the night of lights. Lots of restaurants, bars, and shops all just a hop skip away. Dog friendly with a fee. Free on site parking. Great hospitality from the front desk.Cons: it's older and very obvious once you enter your room. Felt a bit run down and quite honestly - a bit dirty. Didn't really want to touch anything. Stains here and there. Remote was sticky. Door wouldn't ever close the first time, had to always pull or push it shut multiple times and very hard for it to latch. Ac/heat didn't properly work. Didn't matter if it was on high or low air. Always blew the same. Didn't matter what temp we adjusted it to, always blew the same... walls and windows are EXTREMELY thin. I could hear every conversation outside. Every cough from our neighbors. Every footstep above. Glad I had my fair share of martinis all around town, otherwise I would've been miserable sleeping through it all. The window in the bathroom sucks. Doesn't matter how much we shut it, you could still feel a draft.Would I be back? Verdicts still undecided...

You can’t beat the location for the price, farthest we walked was to Ripley’s which was no more than 15 mins or so. Clean rooms and wonderful staff. I was worried about parking but get there between 11-5/6 you’ll be fine. Our AC was great and showers were hot which was nice for the chilly weather this weekend. We were on the first floor and could hear footsteps above us occasionally but it’s an old building it happens. Some reviews mentioned a ‘musty smell’ but I didn’t notice , trust me you don’t know musty until you’ve lived in a humid dorm in Southwest Florida and I can tell you this was nothing as I said St. Augustine is old- anywhere is the same. Quiet with no screaming kids which was nice. If you’re debating between here and elsewhere choose Marion Motor Lodge, you won’t be disappointed!

Stayed the night with my wife and our 2 year old. We enjoyed our stay here very much. One of the perks of this place is that parking is included and you're right in the historic district.The front desk lady that checked us in was very pleasant!Rooms are clean, you can smell the freshness as you enter the room! Bathrooms have been recently updated, they provide soaps, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, towels, etc.Beds are made nicely. We slept well and even though we stayed on the first floor level you still get a wonderful view of the sunrise.Will definitely come back!Safety: Very safe

When checking in we found the room to be dirty. After telling the front desk, they sent a guy over with a broom & mop to clean the floor. No vacuum cleaner? The window in the bathroom doesn't close all the way so we had to hang a towel over it to stop the cool breeze coming in @ night. It's in the low 40's here this week. While sitting on the bed this afternoon we killed a large roach crawling on the ceiling. Wondering how many more there are. We are understanding about traveling with pets in rooms but they could do a better job cleaning the room. A little TLC would go a log way.

Great location. Really nice view. Nice rooms but dirty towels and sheets. Also, they can clean the bathroom better. The person who cleaned can do a better job.

It is the only place we stay every year for the night of lights. Spotless clean, close to everything, right on the bay with great views and most important - It's dog friendly. Make sure you ask for a second floor room for the views.

The old man in the front is extremely rude and has terrible communication skills. I will make sure I reach out to their corporate office stat. He needs to be trained on how to have proper hospitality skills.

I reported my room had not been cleaned since the previous customer. I was told the owner knows the cleaning staff is not doing a good job and is doing nothing about it. There was no resolution offered to right the dirty room. There were long dark hairs on the floors and the pillows on one of the beds. Thankfully, I bring my own pillows when I travel. One of the recliners in the room was broken to a point where the back was twisted. I should have taken pictures. But, I was there trying to de-stress. So I didn't want to ruin my trip. Location is great if they would focus on customer satisfaction and facility cleanliness.Rooms: I was extremely disappointed in the cleanliness. As well as the lack of resolution to my report of the dirty room. She said she would leave a note. That the room is scheduled for a deep clean after my visit. It should be cleaned after every visitor. SmhNearby activities: It is a nice location. They have a pool and nice deck for viewing the harbor.Walkability: Its a short walk to the center of the restaurant and bar scene.Food & drinks: They have a drink vending machine, no snacks.
