St. Augustine, Florida, is perhaps best known for being the oldest European settlement in America. Besides its numerous impressive historic relics, however, St. Augustine has much to offer the casual visitors, including pristine beaches and lots of Florida sunshine. If you plan on traveling to the area with your canine companion, you shouldn't have difficulty finding accommodation for both of you.
The St. Augustine Days Inn is conveniently located in the historic downtown area. The property has its own swimming pool, and sightseeing tours of the city leave from the hotel's front steps. The Days Inn houses a Denny's Restaurant. The Spanish Quarter Museum, St. George Street, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Castillo de San Marcos and Fountain of Youth are all located within a one mile radius of the property. The Days Inn is a pet-friendly establishment but you may be charged an extra fee if your furry friend stays with you.
