The Spotlight on Best Western Bayfront Inn

Bayfront Charm Steps from St. Augustine's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets historic charm at the Best Western Bayfront Inn, perched right on Matanzas Bay in the heart of St. Augustine. With stunning water views, a laid-back vibe, and an unbeatable location just a short walk from the city’s historic landmarks and live music spots, this hotel offers a cozy, convenient launchpad for your concert-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel puts you within walking distance of some of St. Augustine’s most iconic venues, so you won’t need to worry about parking or rideshares. After the music ends, stroll back to your room in minutes and unwind by the bay. Rooms are equipped with soundproofing and comfortable beds, so you can count on a restful night after a high-energy show. With a 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s just enough flexibility to suit most travel schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a central home base
  • Solo travelers checking off a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a weekend of it
  • Fans who want a quieter, scenic spot to recover
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on location

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, there are plenty of walkable dining options along the waterfront and throughout the historic district. Grab a bite post-show at one of the nearby late-night eateries or enjoy your own snacks with the help of the in-room microwave and mini fridge. Morning-after breakfast needs are covered at local cafés just steps away.

Nightlife Options

You're surrounded by St. Augustine’s vibrant nightlife. From live music pubs and cocktail lounges to beachy bars with local brews, there’s plenty to explore before or after your concert. For a more relaxed pace, sip a drink at one of the waterfront bars nearby and take in the bay views.

What People Say

Travelers love the prime location—walkable to almost everything including venues, restaurants, and attractions. Many highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the bonus of having a pool to cool off in. The views of the bay are frequently mentioned as a major plus.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the parking can be a bit tight and comes with a fee. Rooms are on the smaller side, but most agree they’re well-kept and comfortable—especially if you’re mostly out enjoying the city.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to St. Augustine for a concert, the Best Western Bayfront Inn offers location, charm, and comfort—all just steps from the music and the magic.

Summing up our BW experience...

Liked: Staff was very helpful and friendly
Disliked: The pool was disgusting, not clean and very UNSAFE. We reported the complaint at the front desk, the clerk told us Best Western will look into it.We also thought it was noisy, no ear plugs were in the room although they did tell us they were available. When it is midnight and you are already snug into bed, it is difficult to get up and make a trip to the office for ear plugs. :(
