We decide to elope to St. Augustine and found a fantastic seasonal rate for our stay through the Casa Monica website. The building itself is beautiful inside and out, the staff are courteous and friendly at every opportunity, and the room was well equipped. When stayed in a spacious ""premier"" room with a four-poster bed, sofa, desk, tv, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. The large bathroom had a walk-in shower, no bath which wasn't noted during the reservation process but that's not an issue for us. Our room was at the far end of the building from the lobby and we had a view over King street towards the square next to the Bridge of Lions. The bed was comfortable, with loads of pillows to choose from. The only drawback to the room is the A/C system - it is really loud * distrubed us both during the night. We didn't have much interaction with staff besides check-in and check-out, there was nothing missing from our room and we had no need to call the front desk or housekeeping during our stay. Perfect! By the way, the $20 valet parking is worth it. The alternative is trying to find curb-side metered parking which was not easy on a weekday, plus you have to feed the meter $3 every two hours. I hgihly recommend the Casa Monica to anyone looking for a hotel in St. Augustine.
Pros: Beautiful room & building, well-equipped, nice location
Cons: Noisy air conditioning in our room
