I think Robert's review summed up this place perfectly.
Is this a five star hotel that should be visited by royalty and movie stars? No. Are you looking for a budget hotel room that's clean, comfortable, and has great location and views? Look no further than Edgewater Inn.
The wife and I were planning on spending New Year's Eve in downtown St. Augustine with some friends, yet all the hotels downtown required a minimum 2 night stay. Edgewater is directly over the bridge of lions, which makes it perfect walking distance.
The lady at the front desk was incredibly pleasant, and check in was easy. The rooms weren't anything fancy- but the room and sheets were clean, well-stocked, and the A/C and heater worked like a charm. Unfortunately, no refrigerator in the room, but they did have a nice TV and a hair dryer. Good thing I packed my cooler with some beer and utilized their ice machine- instant party!
The bayfront rooms have amazing views- especially during Nights of Lights. You can literally see the entire downtown St. Augustine bayfront, and it's gorgeous. Each room comes with a little patio area with chairs- perfect for enjoying a cold beer and just enjoying life. We didn't get a bayfront room, but made our way around to the back, where we talked with some folks and just hung out for a bit.
Swimming pool looked nice, although I wasn't going in on New Year's Eve. There's not too many other amenities to the place, but it's well worth staying here. Great location, great price, friendly staff, and clean rooms. This is as good as it gets if you're looking for a budget hotel room. Definitely recommended.
