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.

I like this place. Its...

Liked: Lovely clean room, all refitted and modern with a bit of sea view. super downton location too. The check in lady was helpful and kind. She allowed us to check in earlier and gave us a nice room explained the views and pros and cons of each room. We didn't use the pool but i can see this would be a nice addition if it were warm. This place is more simple than the HIlton next door but much cheaper and was just fine for an overnight stay. I'll def stay here again!
Disliked: I really need a tea kettle and a real mug to drink from. I hate paper cups coated in terrible chemicals which leach into us when we put hot water in them. Just give us real mugs pls and proper drinks. We're not animals. other than that his place is lovely and i'd stay here again anytime.

Best location in town

Liked: This is the best location in St. Augustine. Right across from the bay and right in the middle of the historic district.
Disliked: Housekeeping kept forgetting to replenish our tissues and toilet paper. Picked more up from the office.

Poor

Liked: the staff was friendly. was expecting more noise. it was managable.
Disliked: water pressure seemed very low. my biggest complaint was that on Sunday our room was not cleaned, the trash was not taken dirty towels left, and no new towels. had to go to front to get towels. the floors in the entire room were filthy. i made the mistake of wearing only socks in the room. after fifteen minutes they were black!! made that mistake only once.

Pleasant

Liked: Location was great. Rooms clean. Staff, especially Sheri, were friendly and so helpful.
Disliked: Noise, noise, noise-our room (126) being next to loud side street with bars/restaurants should be at a discount!
