the property is very nice and cozy we love the location, is just amazing place

Stayed in January 2022

The property doesn't have a kitchen due to City regulations, but they do their best offering hot breakfast options each morning, like a breakfast sandwich, fritata or french toast + all the typical breakfast bar food & drink options.

We love the amazing history of The Collector and how each room is unique. It's a perfect mix of a funky B&B and upscale hotel. The location is an easy walking distance to everything downtown. We met a couple who was on their 7th stay at The Collector, which says a lot! We stayed in room S207 with a king bed and a shared balcony overlooking the pool (which is heated to 86º). Our room had a loveseat, bistro table/chairs, mini-fridge, microwave and kitchen sink. The grounds are beautiful and very Insta-worthy. The weather in mid-November was exceptional. We missed the annual Nights of Lights (when the entire city lights up for the holidays), but will be back to experience it! When booking, keep in mind this is a legit historical property with original windows and walls! You may hear your neighbors or a carriage on the street, and it's all part of the charm. We slept wonderfully and the staff did an amazing job, who all seem to take great pride in the property. Definitely take the free property tour offered a couple times each week!

We stayed here for the final leg of our honeymoon and we are soooo happy we did! The hotel and our little bungalow was beautiful. Wish we could have spent more time on property taking advantage of all the amenities. Added bonus the breakfast bar is phenomenal!

Daily cleaning and especially bed making is imperative at these prices. We only stayed one night because of it.

Great breakfast. Loved the little bar a and pool. Wish I had been able to stay longer.

Breakfast should be reevaluated. The pastries didn’t look super fresh. More variety of the breakfast selection and a higher attention to quality would be appreciated. Something like offering bacon, quiches, waffles, and toast with local honeys or jams would be an easy upgrade and noticeable difference.

Top-notch, unique oasis of peace and quiet in St. Augustine’s historic district. Rooms are a fun blend of luxury and quirkiness. Staff, especially Kate in The Well bar and Jamie at Reception, are very personable. So much character and worth the cost. The bed was very comfortable.

Because it’s historic and very old, some of the fit and finish of functional things tended to be a bit wore out…ie, bathroom door wouldn’t close all the way and had to hip check it or muscle it up a bit to get it to close..not a huge deal for me but if I was older and weaker it could present a problem if I wanted the door shut while in the bathroom. Honestly, that’s the only thing I can think of..terribly minor…and as such makes this place virtually perfect in all ways.

Unique, spread out, historic

No on site parking was kind of a bummer. The toilet was also running and needed attention. The coffee was weaker than circus Lemonade. Those were the only negatives.

The place was immaculately cleaned. The staff was nice as can be. The property had a ton of charm.

The whole staff was so helpful. The property was beautiful, the gardens and walks between buildings are nicely kept easy walks. The room was spacious and clean, with a super comfortable bed. The breakfast was delicious, more then I expected! Would 100% come back here and have already recommended to friends

Room was small.

Room was nice but a little small. Breakfast each day was very good and the location was great; close to everything and easy to get around. Staff was excellent, anything I asked for they were more than happy to accommodate us. We let them know the night before that we were going to check out at 4:00 a.m. The next morning one of the staff members made sure there was coffee for us to take on our trip home. The grounds were also beautiful. I would definitely recommend the collector to all my friends.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

The charm and the location of the entire complex was wonderful!

This property was aaaaahmazing!!! The room, the gardens, just everything was perfect! We visited for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. We were able to walk to everything St. Augustine has to offer. Thank you to the staff for all you did to make our visit perfect. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Not enough cooked food. Mostly pastries.

Breakfast is really substandard, (think holiday inn at best), with plastic cutlery and insufficient sitting space. Ground while pretty need a bit better upkeep.

Great location close enough to all the attractions but yet quiet and private, the old cottages are very pretty and well decorated with comfy beds and excellent bathrooms. And amenities. This could be an absolutely fantastic hotel with some simple fixes.

Great location to many sites, restaurants, and shops. Within walking distance to the harbor. The inn has some beautiful gardens and picturesque view.

Breakfast was not of best quality - may have been hampered by COVID restrictions.

charming cottages, well maintained and very convenient property to Town and good restaurants.

Our shower drain was mostly clogged, and we didn’t really like taking a shower in ankle deep water. The front desk personnel offered to send up a plumber to fix it, but our safe didn’t work and we were ready to go out so declined their offer. They said it was probably the battery. Otherwise the suite was very charming., There is a lot to take care of on the property so I can see why a couple things are missed. Overall it was a good experience.

We like the location, close to restaurants and shops, and our room was spacious and comfortable, and the bed was terrific!

Oh my. We wanted to love this property and selected it for a three night getaway to St. Augustine. Although the staff is amazingly responsive and tried their hardest, this is an antique property which comes with many challenges. Our 'petite queen' room suffered from a lack of hot water in the shower (fixed by the third night--required a replacement valve), a very noisy running toilet (fixed by the second night--required a replacement fixture), very finicky AC/Heat in the bathroom and bedroom (the temperamental nature of the two remotes was never fully resolved but we managed), a broken overhead light/fan (on back order), a faint smell of mold (there is a dehumidifier in the room to compensate) and a lack of a bedside table and lamp on one side of the bed. The management was responsive to our issues and did offer to make things right for us which we appreciated. I suspect there are other nicer, brighter, more comfortable rooms on this property. If you decide to stay here spend the extra money on one of those--avoid the 'petite queen' at all costs!

The staff at this property are fabulous, helpful, competent and hardworking. The grounds are beautiful. Although it was too chilly outdoors to use the pool it was in good condition and beautifully appointed. The bar is cute and the two outdoor firepits comfortable and welcoming when the air is chilly. Breakfast was good with nice variety though limited indoor seating. The location is close enough to the main streets to walk but far enough away for some peace and quiet.

Cleanliness can be improved- the lamps and ceiling fan were dusty, and the bathroom floor was significantly dirty. Also, the bathroom could be more efficient if it had hooks by the shower for the towels and shelves in the shower to hold personal hygiene items.

Location was excellent! Breakfast was great! The tour Ms. Michelle gave was very interesting and informative- really added to the experience at The Collector! The young men providing the valet service were very friendly and helpful!

The room was VERY noisy. You could hear the person in the room next to us throwing up all night + doors opening and slamming all night. We called the front desk to complain but no one answered

Great location

The room was nice but a little dated. The breakfast selection was lacking and could have been better.

The courtyards and outdoor areas were nice. Breakfast selection was ok.

Tiny room. No place in the room fold anything, store anything etc. room amenities were ridiculously small. Had to fend for ourselves as no services were available line room cleaning etc. very cheap amenities like the worst toilet paper money could buy.

Very traditional- cool looking- great location.
