I Love St Augustine. It was there where I asked my wife to marry overlooking the water on Castillo de San Marcos. We've been married for 30 years now. St. Augustine is a Magical Place. :-)

LMAO the public restroom bit is by far the most helpful tip ever. I've been to St Augustine to tour around, ppl watch, and every time all the public restrooms are full and not the cleanest. I always stop by the Casa Monica hotel or the Governor House. Or any restaurant restroom is better than the public ones xD

Apparently they do NOT stop anymore, and are a ticketed 1 hour ride. OMG you're so funny.... Enter like you know where you're going and walk confidently through the lobby. I absolutely agree... chain restaurants are not needed when in St. Augustine. There's no bad restaurants, I swear, although I prefer Cousteau's waffles and Kilwin's ice cream over the Hyppo myself... ;)

Love both, but I would give the edge to the Collector. Especially if you enjoy spending time outdoors sipping on a hot beverage on a crisp morning. The courtyard space has beautiful Old World touches that are relaxing, and the suites themselves are still fairly new with plenty of room to not feel cramped. Casa Monica is a beautiful classic hotel, but if you love spending time outside, I would stick with the Collector.
