Not so good
Place is overpriced because it’s close to down town. Very noisy can hear everything outside on street and in parking lot. Air conditioning unit made horrible loud noise every time it turned on. No breakfast. Room it self was ok except for bed frames were old wooden frames that were falling apart. Also when we pulled in maid was in front washing towels and sheets by hand in a tub? This turned my wife off immediately. It it was a $250 a night hotel I would let those things go but not for almost $400 a night

The staff was excellent but the room no so clean.. My sister’s room (room 110) smells like humidity and horse urine . The stay Was unbearable. We even try to get a room in another hotel but every where else was sold out . The lady in the front desk said the owner will call you and never call her . I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Location great, housekeeping horrible
Excellent location, older motel but redone nicely. Unfortunately, the housekeeping was disgusting!!! The bed sheets were dirty and I was changing sheets at 11:30pm on first night of our stay. I waited to post this review as I hoped to receive an apology (or at a minimum, an acknowledgment) from the manager or owner, but I never heard from anyone.

Area is in the middle of downtown and everything is walkable, restaurants and main touristic attractions. Room seemed cleaned but shower drain was clogged and full of hairs. Staff came quick to clean it and fix it but it took them a bit. AC unit needed some cleaning. You can hear everything going on outside, but didn’t keep us from having a goodnight. Basically you get what you paid for.

We come to St.Augustine often, but this was our first stay at Marion Motor Lodge. We chose it for the nostalgia, and it did not disappoint. The outside looks like memories from my childhood, staying in motor lodges on family road trips, but the rooms are updated and modern. Our room was clean and stocked with convenient amenities, such as an actual Keurig machine, microwave, small refrigerator, and many other things to make our room feel like home away from home. There were a couple minor negatives I’d like to address in hopes this can be addressed. 1.) shower could have been hotter. No fun taking a lukewarm showers when it’s cold outside. 2.) no hooks to hang towels or washcloths in shower area. There were hooks in room, but it would be nice to have them in actual shower area. Minor things..but important at the time. Now for the very best part…LOCATION AND VIEW. We were on 2nd floor in the middle and had a perfect view of the water and marina area. Fun to see the pirate ship all lit up for Christmas. We walked everywhere with ease. Tons of restaurants, bars, shops and beautiful old houses to stroll past. We brought our little pup and he was happy too, and we had lots of places to walk him. The check in lady was very pleasant and even came up to our room when we checked in to help us with the T.V. I’m already thinking of our next visit and will probably stay somewhere different, but not because I don’t love Marion Lodge or recommend it…but because we like to switch things up.

We arrived at Noon on Christmas Eve and they let us check into our room early! The room was large, clean and the bed was comfortable. The room we had was ground floor and we were able to park right in front of our room. The 2nd floor would be better to see the marina if you like a view. Will definitely stay here again.

The room was not maintained well. There were bugs on the ceiling and lots of unfinished pieces- no baseboards under the sink cabinets, paint peeling on the wall and in the bathroom. The bed was so loud and the we couldn't sleep well. It creaked and made awful noises when you moved.

Great location with an average room.
Marion Motor Lodge is a great location for downtown St. Augustine. Over all it was a good stay. The normal gripes of paper thin walls and hearing the people next door are there. A dated, older building. The only big issue we had was the A/C is located around a partition wall that leads to the bathroom. So the main room doesn't get much cooling/heating from the A/C. The other issue was the bathroom window. It was a very old crank style panel window. It provided zero insulation from the outside for the actually shower/toilet area. The nights we stayed got down to the upper 40's to lower 50's. Having to use the toilet in the middle of the night was not pleasant to say the least. It also made getting in and out of the shower a very chilling experience. LOL I would say it was a little overpriced for the accommodations, but the location made it worth it.
