Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Saint Augustine, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 4th or 5th floor (if available) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's mechanical systems and service areas are located on the lower floors. Additionally, these upper floors tend to have fewer rooms, which means less foot traffic and ambient noise.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the Loretto Drive entrance and service corridor, as these areas tend to be busier and noisier due to the hotel's proximity to the street.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Loretto Drive doesn't offer a direct view of notable landmarks or attractions. However, rooms on the west side of the hotel (facing the parking lot) may have a view of the surrounding neighborhood.
Quietest floors
The 4th and 5th floors are likely the quietest, given their distance from the lower-level service areas and the hotel's layout.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that rooms near the Loretto Drive entrance may be subject to occasional noise from passing traffic, especially during rush hour.
Insider tips
When checking in, ask about the hotel's complimentary parking options, as they may not be immediately apparent. Additionally, request a room with a refrigerator, as these are not guaranteed and are subject to availability.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
