What guests think

Across many reviews, The Cozy Inn is praised for very clean rooms, friendly service, and good value, with a classic motel layout; its location about a mile from the historic district is convenient but can require a walk.

Many find the beds comfortable and nights quiet, though a few mention street noise, humming fridges, or thin walls in certain units. Parking outside rooms is convenient, and several suites include kitchens suitable for longer stays. Drawbacks noted across reviews include an absent ice machine, occasional water temperature or A/C issues, some dated furnishings, and that the walk to downtown can feel long. Overall, expect a clean, good-value base just outside the main sights.

Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Very convenient location. I was able to park directly in front of my room. I felt safe in the area. Cute, no frills accommodations. Good value.

It was a quiet, clean and well priced. The only down side was no ice or soda machine on property. There was a convince store a block down the road. Nice place for the price. I would stay there again. Additionally I'm offended that expedia asks questions about race to characterize my review. My opinion of my stay shouldn't matter if I'm black, gay, Hispanic, or asian. I guess that is the only demographics they are looking for. They didn't ask if i was white or European. I guess that demographic doesn't matter. Shame on you expedia.

Very clean, cozy and charming. Great location and perfect if traveling with a pet. I give this a five star because I would definitely stay here again. My only complaint was the noise from the guests next to us. You could hear people walking and talking. If you are on the same schedule...no problem. These folks were up early! Management can not control the noise level of guests, so no strikes. The next time we stay we may not have this concern. Overall for the money, a very nice place to stay!

This is actually cozy. Super clean. I recommend staying here when in St Augustine. Dog friendly! A nice garden area and porch to relax in the evenings (if it's warm enough). Parking was a little cramped but not inconvenient and the area is well lit.

The name says it all! The cozy inn is sure cozy! The room was on the smaller size but perfect for a couple. It had all of the amenities you needed plus it was spotless and comfortable. We never heard our neighbors despite it being a busy holiday weekend. Parking was never an issue and the staff was so friendly upon check in. It was about 1 miles from George St and allowed us to walk everywhere and avoid the crazy traffic of the holidays. We would for sure stay here again and absolutely would recommend to those who are looking for a comfortable cozy inn to sleep at night.

It’s within walking distance of downtown, the bed was quite comfortable, and once the door is closed, you can’t hear anything at all from outside. The inn is absolutely adorable and very clean. If you want a romantic, quiet trip, this is the place. And the price is very reasonable.

The motel was super cute and very clean. Loved the extra touch in the bathroom with the makeup wipes, makeup cloth, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The water pressure was great in the shower. The AC worked great, it got ice cold. The refrigerator in the room was larger than expected and kept our waters ice cold. Loved the historic part of the motel and how close it was to everything. Definitely would stay again.

The Employees were very sweet but We were disappointed when We walked into the unit #34. It smelled very musty/ moldy. The rugs were a bit sticky feeling and dirty looking (I wouldnt take My flipflops off) and the sitting room ceiling fan was filthy. Everything else was clean looking, there was designated parking and a few good eats around. I do wish We wouldve chosen to stay at a nicer hotel. I feel bad but I would Not recommend The Cozy Inn.

Our room at the Cozy Inn was very clean and there was a parking spot reserved directly in front of the door. However, the space was much smaller than we expected, with just enough room to walk around the bed and make it to the tiny bathroom. We also found the mattress and pillows uncomfortable for us so we did not get a good night's sleep.

I am blown away of how amazing this spot is. I dont even know where to begin, the place looks like something that you might think twice about staying but trust me its the best ive stayed at. The staff is over the top welcoming and make you feel like your a family member. Super polite and helpful. I stayed in the honeymoon suite and WOW WOW WOW, its perfect. Absolutely perfect. Clean and didnt have that hotel smell. I felt like I left my house and came back home with different furniture. You Have good shampoos and soaps, dishes, pots & pans, cable TV, quite, & clean. Not to mention the tub that is perfect for a couple to have a glass of wine and some bubbles and just relax. If your into walking a few blocks your not far at all from downtown. Ubers are $6 to $8 bucks if you dont want to walk. This is such an under rated spot, I swear DONT HESITATE AND JUST BOOK YOUR STAY!!! Hotels around the area are going to charge you an arm and leg because they are Brand Names but your not going to have the same treatment you get at the Cozy Inn. Im already placing the rest of my vacations to stay there. Thanks Alexis for helping out and giving me recommendations for sites around the area. See you all soon. Stay blessed.

The Cozy Inn is an outstanding inexpensive hotel. The single rooms are cute, but tiny. We stayed in a suite, which was well appointed and still very cute. The staff are extremely friendly. Be aware, it is a bit of a walk to the historic quarter. Doable, but not short. A great choice for a relatively inexpensive and unique stay in St Augustine!

Cosy-yes. Very small-yes. Very clean-yes. Quiet-no. There was a weird humming bubbling sound that never stopped. I thought it was the A/C but after a day, turned off the A/C and it was the mini refrigerator. Since both occupants were hard of hearing, I cannot imagine how annoying it could be with someone with normal hearing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cozy Inn! We received a free upgrade to one of their recently updated townhouse units which was great and gave us some extra space with the living room downstairs. The unit was clean and had a full kitchen including dishes and cookware. The Cozy Inn is obviously an older facility, but provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Simple, comfy, and definitely cozy. The site is easily walkable to the downtown historic area and we felt safe walking late at night.

Cozy is the right word for the Cozy Inn. Pluses: great bed, convenient location, Park at your door. Cons: small room, small bath but worst was the A/C. Hard to get the temperature consistent.

We have stayed here many b times over the years. The rooms are small, but immaculate. The suites across the street are mostly newly renovated, and still on the small side, but much nicer and less expensive than single rooms in equivalent hotels. Be prepared for a bit of a walk to get to things, but we don’t find it too bad. The staff are extremely cooperative, offering us different, nicer rooms when available. We love Cozy Inn!

This motel brought back my youth. The decor is old school, before everything was a cookie-cutter chain. The property has been remodeled so it is NOT old but it keeps the "olden days" vibe. It was very clean and there is daily housekeeping without having to ask for it. The location was very convenient. If I ever go back to St Augustine, I'll choose the Cozy.
