I absolutely loved my stay at the Kenwood Inn. The rooms are very comfortable, and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. However, a thorough spring clean wouldn't hurt. The location is perfect, walking distance to everything downtown old St Augustine, and the cozy atmosphere around the pool and fish pond is delightful. Just a small unsettling incident on the front porch with non-guests asking to use the bathroom late at night. But overall, it's a charming place with a warm and inviting feel.
