The Spotlight on Lion Inn - Saint Augustine

Simple Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

A no-frills, budget-friendly motel, The Lion Inn - Saint Augustine offers basic comfort and convenience just a mile from Anastasia State Park and close to downtown St. Augustine's vibrant music scene. With a laid-back vibe, free parking, and essential in-room amenities like a mini-fridge and microwave, it's an easy, wallet-friendly choice for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without the fuss.

Why Concert-goers love it

This motel’s location makes it a solid pick for those heading to downtown St. Augustine venues or shows at the nearby amphitheater. It’s just a short ride from the city’s live music hotspots, yet far enough from the downtown bustle to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. Free parking is a bonus for late-night returns, and the simple check-in process at 3:00 PM lets you settle in with time to spare before the show.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends wanting to share a low-cost base
- Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list concert
- Couples on a weekend music getaway
- Fans needing a quiet place to recharge post-show
- Budget-conscious concert-goers who value simplicity

Food and Drink Options

There’s free coffee every morning to help you bounce back after a late night, plus vending machines for quick snacks and drinks. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re within walking distance of several casual eateries and late-night bites on Anastasia Boulevard. Breakfast joints and local diners are close by for a relaxed post-concert brunch.

Nightlife Options

While The Lion Inn doesn’t offer its own nightlife, you’re just a few minutes from downtown’s lively bar and music scene. Catch live sets, craft cocktails, or a mellow pub vibe just a short drive or rideshare away. If you're keeping it low-key, the quiet surroundings make it easy to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, quiet rooms and the surprising comfort for the price. Many appreciate the convenient location near top attractions and venues without being in the thick of tourist crowds. The friendly staff and ample parking are also frequent highlights in reviews.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is pretty basic, so don’t expect luxury or modern design. Some guests note that the rooms could benefit from a little updating, and soundproofing isn’t perfect — though that’s less of an issue in this quieter part of town. There’s no pool or gym, but most music fans are too busy rocking out to notice.

The Bottom Line

The Lion Inn - Saint Augustine is a simple, affordable base for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to crash — without straying far from the music.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Kristina, Port Orange, visiting St Augustine Amphitheatre Sun, 6 May 2018

Liked: Very conveniently located to the amphitheater (only 1.4 miles away, and right on the same road as the amphitheatre). The bathrooms were obviously newly remodeled. Nice shower, toilet, and vanity. The room has a microwave and fridge in it. The bed was fairly comfortable. Also, we were able to park right outside our room. Front desk staff were friendly.
Disliked: The room we had was pretty small (one bed, 1 chair, 1 nightstand), but it was fine for two people. The hotel is located on a pretty busy road, so you can hear the traffic going by from inside the room. It doesn't have much atmosphere or any kind of view, but if you are looking for a clean room that is close to the St. Augustine Amphitheatre and reasonably priced, this will fit the bill.

Worst stay in Saint Augustine

Liked: The fact that there was a fridge and a microwave in the room.
Disliked: I asked for a late check out, and I was told I couldn't because they had to clean the room. When I got into the room, I could still see dust on the AC unit. So much for having to clean the room.

Disingenuous owners refused my simple...

Liked: Like: Location. Owners did refund me.Dislike: Arrived at motel on Saturday and I was clearly the only guest. Owners claimed they did not have any non-adjoining rooms available which was clearly not true because the entire hotel was empty.I drove by the next day (Sunday) and the entire hotel was still empty. The motel was blocked off as "unavailable" on Booking on Sunday. I'm guessing the owners wanted the weekend off and forgot to block off bookings on Saturday??
