Frommer's Review
Proving that good things do, indeed, come in small packages is this diminutive, South of Fifth boutique hotel that's part spa, part hotel, and part haven for hipsters seeking refuge from the more mainstream boutique hotel cum hangouts. The lobby is minute, with an equally miniature bar, but at least there is a bar, and the rooms are smallish, but designed like cosmopolitan lofts, with maple wood beds and banquettes, and outstanding, spacious bathrooms with glass-enclosed spa cabinets with steam baths and European engineered multijet spray showers. Seriously, if you're into bathrooms, this is Nirvana. Dimmable lighting in the bathroom and a spa bar that offers aromatherapy oils, cooling eye masks, invigorating shower gels, body buffers, and protective sun products make it hard to leave the room. If we had to vote for best hotel bathroom in town, the St. Augustine would win, hands down.
Facilities:
Bar; discounted use of nearby health club; 24-hr. concierge; video/CD library

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
