Nicely remodeled with nautical motif. Very friendly staff, especially the breakfast server. Nice southern hospitality breakfast cooked to order with a little variety each day with some variation of eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, toast, yogurt parfait or blintz. Relatively quick breakfast service. Wonderful bridge & marina & St Augustine views from the 2nd floor room and breakfast room.

Although slightly different each day, breakfast was still a little repetitive after 3 days. Even though it's remodeled, the basic hotel has older bones and the walls are pretty thin so both nights we could hear the neighbor's TV and/or snoring. front desk staff was partly successful in getting them to turn down the TV. Price of ~$300 seemed excessive for what we got although it was still a decent deal compared to other nearby places.

The room was very clean and spacious. The balcony was plenty large and had comfortable seating. Rainfall shower head was refreshing! Breakfast was very nice, and the ladies who served it were as kind and accomodating as they could be! the front desk duo (guy and a girl) who checked us in were very friendly and funny, and also allowed a little later checkout the next day as I had nowhere to go because of foot pain until our kayaking tour. Much appreciated!

The pool area closed at dusk and while I am sure there are probably safety concerns, that was disappointing. It would also be nice to have been able to sit by the beautiful fire pit. The only other thing I can think of would be having a full bar (beer and wine only now).

Have to be the best view rooms in all of St. Augustine! Very romantic setting overlooking Matanzas Bay from the east end of the Bridge of Lions. Easy walking distance into town. Gourmet breakfasts each morning and cocktail hour snacks for an hour every evening are included in the room price. Every room has a balcony or patio on the water side. The staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. Property is just a short drive to beautiful Anastasia State Park Beach where umbrellas and beach chairs can be rented.

Summer temps had the small pool’s water un-refreshingly warm but the power jets worked as a warm hot tub.

Our stay was AMAZING!!! Nice rooms and huge showers. Breakfast was presented so well and the best food we had on our entire vacation! And let's face it, there's a lot of good places to eat. ALL staff was friendly and accommodating. The o'dourves offered each day was a nice touch. Views were wonderful! We even saw dolphins from our room. Easy access across the bridge. Spa area was very relaxing. Marker 8 is truly a GEM!

The only thing the room was missing was a microwave to heat up leftovers but staff graciously allowed us to use one of theirs.

The view from our little patio outside the room was great. Every single member of staff was very friendly, some of the best ever. Location was good as ok for the town but there are some great restaurants and other attractions on that side of the river. Laundry room very handy.

Internet regularly dropped out. Pool is a plunge pool/spa so no good for exercise. Some elements of decor need refreshing urgently if charging good money.

I recently stayed at Marker 8 in St. Augustine with my husband and toddler, and it was a delightful experience. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and kind, making us feel right at home. The facility was immaculate, and the breakfast was both delicious and satisfying. The view from our room was stunning, and the hotel’s location made it easy to explore all the famous attractions of St. Augustine. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend Marker 8 to anyone looking for a fantastic stay in the area.

It's an older style hotel that has been completely refurbished. The staff is amazing, the view is great, the free breakfast offers things like eggs benedict, and it's within walking distance of downtown. The prices appear a little higher than some but it's on the water and considering the quality of the free breakfast, the evening cocktail hour, the easy walking distance to everything, free coffee, and the fridge in the room, I thought it was a great value for the money. I'm kind of hoping that no one reads this :). I hope to get rservations in the future.

Very clean, modern furnishings with a nautical flair. We had a room on the ground level, with a patio and a couple of chairs where it was lovely to sit and enjoy the view of Lions Bridge and St Augustine 's skyline. Breakfast was in a small dining room lined with windows with a nice view of the river, fresh cut flowers on some tables, and served to us by cheerful, welcoming staff. Everything was fresh and tasty; we had a choice of a "starter" and then a "main" which was very satisfying. It was easy to drive into the downtown area, and there are several restaurants within walking distance.

This property is in a perfect location. The staff are so helpful. Great laundry facilities at $2 a load, detergent provided. Room was in need of a bit of tlc as was the decking around the hot tub. Breakfast was good but a little monotonous after a few days. The daily dolphin show in the water whilst eating breakfast was wonderful! Daily nibbles between 5 & 6 which were good and unexpected.

Nothing.

The staff at Marker 8 Hotel & Marina exuded warmth and hospitality from the moment we arrived. They paid meticulous attention to detail and graciously accommodated all of our requests, making us feel truly welcomed and valued. The rooms at the hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. They were spacious, quiet, and boasted unparalleled views of St. Augustine. The comfortable accommodations provided the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. One of the standout features of Marker 8 Hotel & Marina is its unbeatable location. Situated just five minutes away from all of the city's main landmarks and attractions, the hotel offers easy access to everything St. Augustine has to offer, with the added charm of crossing the bridge to get there. The hotel's heated pool was a welcome amenity, particularly on colder or windy days. It provided a relaxing oasis where we could unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in comfort.

While the breakfast at Marker 8 Hotel & Marina was satisfactory, it could have offered a slightly larger selection and a few additional options to cater to diverse tastes. However, despite this minor drawback, it still served its purpose adequately, providing a decent start to the day.
