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

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.

Very good

Liked: The room was clean and spacious. Air conditioner was adequate and the room smelled freshly clean. The owner was very friendly and made sure we were comfortable. If you're into supporting local businesses and you want to meet the person you're renting with, this is your place. The location right next to the Mellow Mushroom was very convenient for a quick dinner before our concert and the amphitheater was less than 5 minutes drive.
Disliked: No issues.

Definitely will never stay there...

Liked: They don't have breakfast.
Disliked: Charged extra for second child. Only allowed 2 Washcloths and 2 towels for 4 people. No coffee pot in the room. All they have in the lobby is coffee which they only have very small cups. No breakfast at all, not anything. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pool had no umbrellas or shade to sit under.

Best Budget Inn!! Clean and...

Liked: Really enjoyed our stay! We asked for a room away from the highway and they upgraded us not only to a room away from the highway but a much bigger room. The room was spotless. The location is unbeatable. If we are ever in St Augustine again, we’ll be back!
Disliked: My husband complained that the pillows were uncomfortable and made his neck hurt.
