We needed to get away and decided on this Bed & Breakfast based on a friend's recommendation. We stayed in room 7 on the 3rd floor.
1) Location
It's as close to St George street as you can get! The inn is tucked right behind a very tasty ice cream parlor (and) a restaurant with an outdoor bar & live band (both on St George street). The inn is centrally located in relationship to St George street. We valued that a lot as we could get anywhere with ease.
2) Our Room
Excellent condition and very romantic. Everything was clean, and well taken care of. I preordered chocolate covered strawberries in our reservation and they were waiting for us. Delicious. Our room featured an "oversized jacuzzi tub for two" that was fabulous. Jets and everything! Some hotels have a little fold on the toilet paper.. this B&B had a beautiful bow tie! We still can't figure out how they did that!
3) The Live Band
Some rooms of the inn face the live band and some rooms do not. The band consists of a guitarist/singer and a fiddler. Excellent musicians. Our room was quite literally just feet away from this band. We could look down from our window and see patrons of the outdoor bar at a picnic table. Not a problem, except the curfew for the band is 11pm. That's better than after midnight, but we couldn't even consider going to sleep until after 11pm from the amped music. I did walk to the other side of the inn and it's considerably quieter. The website room description did say "Acoustic music may be heard from the nearby cafe". If you are a light sleeper, I'd consider getting a room on the EAST side of the inn (descriptions that do not mention the acoustic music).
4) Check In
There wasn't a whole lot of information on check in or check out, other than check in is between 3pm and 8pm. When we arrived, we didn't know the procedure. I had to call in to get the following information. If you are arriving, there is a parking lot across the little street from the inn with a parking space marked "Agustin Inn". This spot is for checkin only. We were met with a very nice lady from the inn who greeted us, checked us inn and helped us carry our bags to our room. She was fantastic the entire stay. After check-in, I had to move my car to one of the official parking spots. No big deal. Since this is right on St George street, its very important to park in their free spaces otherwise you could get ticketed or towed. Check out was a little confusing. We didn't know who to give the key to. We gave it to one of the waitresses and hoped for the best.
5) After Hours Access
There are doors with code locks everywhere. If you need to get in, just type the code and open the door. That's it! Pretty easy and effortless. They also had some treats (cookies, muffins) in a dish after hours. One of my favorites was bacon wrapped biscuits. Yum.
Final Thoughts
We would stay here again. Next time, I'd stay in room 5 (3rd floor). It's out of the way of everything and on the opposite side of the band. If you want to stay on St George street, this is your inn.
