The Collector Inn in St. Augustine, FL

The Collector Inn is a one-of-a-kind property and I honestly could not think of anywhere they could improve. This will be our "go-to" location whenever we are in St. Augustine. We were lucky enough to stay for four nights and we did not want to leave. The grounds are beautiful with something special, and sometimes historical, right around every corner. The staff goes above and beyond to help you or to ask you if you need anything; and if you don't, then they are quick to offer a smile and hello. Everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there. I wish I had gotten everyone's name because they all deserve a big thank you for making our stay wonderful, but a special shout out to Mike at the valet, Susan in the breakfast room, and Brooke and Emma at The Well. And the breakfast - what a treat. It was fresh and plentiful and had everything for a great start to your day. And a plus for me was the delicious coffee! Our room was beautiful and well-appointed, with a small sitting room and little kitchen area. The bathroom had a lovely pedestal sink, and a shower with a rain head and hand held shower sprayer, as well as a shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispenser mounted on the shower wall, which came in very handy because I forgot my shampoo and conditioner. And that bed - holy smokes. Thank goodness breakfast is served until 10 a.m. because I had a tough time leaving that luxurious comfort. And the location - wow! We walked everywhere. The property is so close to downtown with restaurants and shopping, and a lot of the sightseeing areas. We could see Villa Zorayda from the balcony outside our room, and we passed Flagler College and the Lightner Museum on our daily walks downtown. Thanks for a great mini-vacation and we are looking forward to coming back.

Stayed for 4 nights last weekend and loved the place. The gardens and properties are beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable. It is a quick walk to the heart of the old town. They have a very cool little bar called The Well with craft cocktails. Everyone who worked there treated us wonderfully. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in St. Auggie.

Mike the valet made me feel at home immediately, helping with my things (I was especially grateful since I was traveling alone) and telling me history right off the bat (which makes a difference in first impressions for sure). The front desk offered me sangria as I was checking in (points there) and everyone was extremely nice. You could completely feel the history of the place, and while it was kept authentic, everything was beautiful and updated. The old stone garage bar in the middle of the property was so cool, and was next to a pool and fire pits (another plus-wine by the fire pit- but maybe not in the dead of summer). Place was located within walking distance of everything and backed up to a historic cobble stone road. St. Augustine is a magical place full of history, pirate vibes, good food and drink, and staying at The Collector was the icing on the cake for the whole experience.

I cannot say enough good thing about The Collector Inn. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, the staff exceeded our expectations and made us feel so welcome. Mike in valet and Craig were the best and went above and beyond. The property is absolutely picturesque, and beautiful oasis within walking distance to everything in town. Continental breakfast was just enough to start our day. Did not make get to enjoy The Well or the pool, good reasons to return very soon! Loved everything!

The grounds are beautiful, the staff are on point. Shout out to Matthew, Mike & Brady for another wonderful experience. This is truly a hidden gem of St.Augustine whose quality & consistency can not be matched.
