Affordability matched and everything you need

GEM in St. Augustine. Affordability matched and everything you need for what it is. If you need a place that is quiet, affordable, pet friendly as I only paid $20 for my two small dogs, with nice and respectful staff, located right off the highway with that small town hospitable feel, look no further. The rooms have a refrigerator with a freezer, tv, microwave, hair dryer, an iron and ironing board and more. There is even a small dog park on the premises. The night stands have 2 plug outlets and 2 usb c outlets. You get more than what you pay for. Feels like the American dream where necessities are affordable again. ;) Will be returning.

Well I kind of scared my wife. There's a strange man who kept walking around the building. And then the breakfast frozen hot, the sausage, the eggs for the home fries.Remember hot when you're brought out

It’s was good enough for a quick weekend trip. Couldn’t imagine staying for a long period of time. Cleanliness was subpar as the facilities were outdated.
