The Ponce St. Augustine Hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with a convenient location near downtown St. Augustine. Guests appreciate its proximity to various attractions, restaurants, and shops, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The hotel is pet-friendly, which some visitors found appealing, while others noted the noise from nearby train tracks and busy traffic. Accommodations include rooms equipped with necessary amenities such as microwaves and fridges. However, some guests expressed disappointment regarding room assignments, noting instances where they received rooms with double beds instead of the expected queen beds. The hotel charges an additional fee for parking, which some felt should be better disclosed. Despite these drawbacks, many guests highlighted the friendly and professional front desk staff. The on-site restaurant received positive remarks for its delicious offerings. While the hot tub was reported as broken during some stays, the overall experience is generally viewed as satisfactory, especially considering the rate and cleanliness of the rooms. Visitors recommend The Ponce for those looking for a budget-friendly option close to the historic sites of St. Augustine, though caution is advised for families with young children due to the busy street crossing.
Very close to downtown St. Augustine! Joel at the front desk was very helpful with whatever we needed during our stay. Thanks for a nice experience :)

Mikel and the staff were great. Very helpful. Also, The Ponce is a short walk to Francis Field for events there.

Rooms are clean but parking becomes very difficult because a “vintage car business”operates on the premises and parks its vehicles in the hotel's lot, leaving guests without sufficient parking spaces.
