What People Say

Guests rave about the clean, modern rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. The location is a big plus — close enough to downtown but still peaceful. The indoor pool and free breakfast also get frequent shout-outs, along with how well-maintained the property feels overall.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t directly downtown, so if you're planning to attend multiple shows in the city center, expect a few short rideshare trips. Some guests noted that while the beach is walkable, it's not right outside your door. Parking is available but comes at a small fee.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to St. Augustine for a concert and want a chill, clean, and convenient base near the beach, Holiday Inn Express St Augustine Vilano Beach delivers excellent value and comfort.
