PARKING INFO:

Please note that this room includes one parking pass for the Tolomato lot (across from the hotel), which we pay for on your behalf. The parking pass will be in your room upon arrival. However, per the City of St. Augustine, this lot remains first-come, first-served, and a parking spot is not guaranteed.

If the lot is full, guests are responsible for parking and paying elsewhere. During busier seasons—including Nights of Lights—parking throughout the city becomes extremely limited, so we recommend planning ahead and allowing extra time.

Important: Failure to leave the parking pass in your room at checkout will result in a $100 fee.
