From Highway I-95 Southbound:

Take the Exit Number 318 (old exit #95) onto Rte 16 east, go five miles
Turn right onto Route 1, go two miles.
Turn left on King Street (following signs for Historic St. Augustine), go about 1 mile. Turn left at the end of the city park "Plaza" onto Charlotte Street, go one block.
We are on the corner of Charlotte and Treasury Streets, in the dark green 2 story building on your left.
 Pass the building and turn into the metered parking lot.  If you are in a dormitory style room, try to park here.  If you are in a Private Room, go to the end of the parking lot follow it around to the left.  You will exit onto Treasury Street.  Turn left (it's a one way street!), and just past the house on your left is our parking lot.  Please pull up as far forward as possible.

From Highway I-95 Northbound:

Take Exit Number 311 (Highway 207) towards St. Augustine.  At the very end of Highway 207, take a left turn onto Highway 1 (Ponce De Leon) North.  At the next signal (King Street), turn right.   Go six blocks (as counted on the left hand side of the street) and then turn left on Charlotte.  Cross Cathedral Street, and the next street will be Treasury.  We are on the corner of Charlotte and Treasury Streets, in the olive colored 2 story building on your left.

  Pass the building and turn into the metered parking lot.  If you are in a dormitory style room, try to park here.  If you are in a Private Room, go to the end of the parking lot follow it around to the left.  You will exit onto Treasury Street.  Turn left (it's a one way street!), and just past the house on your left is our parking lot.  Please pull up as far forward as possible.

 
----- BEWARE! if you get onto the Bridge of Lion's ---you've gone too far ---
You may also conceivably end up on A1A headed into town, in that case, turn right just before the light near the bridge, then take an immediate right onto Charlotte street.
Parking: 
For our Private Room guests, we have room for 5 cars right next to the building (one per room), on Treasury Street (we assume no liability for falling pecans!! or anything else for that matter ...)  If everyone has a minivan or a suburban, space will be tight.  We ask that you park all the way forward as far as you can go if possible and either give us your keys or a cell number if you are parked behind another guest.
Parking is notoriously hard to find in St. Augustine!  Directly behind the Inn is a Public Metered Parking Lot.  The meters operate Monday-Saturday 8AM (Sharp!) to 5PM.  They cost $1.50 cents per hour with a four hour max.  The meter machines take credit cards and cash and you must place the receipt in your front window so that the expiration time is viewable.  Meters on Charlotte street take coins only ($1.50 per hour) and have a 3 hour limit.  All Public Parking is free on Sundays and Holidays.  There is  a new City Parking Garage next to the main visitor's center at Cordova and Orange.  There rates are $1.25 per hour.
 
---- Parking from 5PM to 7AM on Monday-Friday, 7 AM onwards on Saturday, and all day Sunday and Holidays (about $6) in the Wachovia lot in front of our building.
