Price range? There are a ton of hotels. motels and B&B's in St. Augustine. Ranging in price from $50.00 a night to $250.00 a night just depends on what you want to spend. Here's a link for Lodging... the first is for Hotels the second is for B&B's and Inns.

St. Augustine hotels. Find & compare 71 hotels in St. Augustine with Hotels.com ... http://staugustineinns.com/

Like hotels there again are a ton of choices for places to eat in St. Augustine. Again just depends on what you're hungry for, how much you want to spend and what you like to eat. I love seafood, so whenever we go to St. Augustine we eat at O'Steens, its the best in town and worth the wait. And there will be a wait it's so popular.
Heres a link to some restaurants ....

St. Augustine Restaurants - Places to eat and restaurant guide to Saint Augustine

Things to do ...Lightner Museum, Light House Museum, Old Jail, The Fort, Alligator Farm should I continue.....? try this link...

Or just go to the beach kick back and relax. Enjoy your trip and have a great vacation.

We just were there -- soo much fun!

I do a vrbo (vrbo.com) for the rental and then used groupon and living social to find deals before I left so I could do them (deals on food, etc.) Check out the St Aug paper as well for things to do.

Have fun!

hey - if you have no young kids - def. do a ghost walk = so much fun !

I went there a couple of years ago and found good deals on hotels right there in Old Town. Not only that, being so close, I was able to visit most of the tourist places within walking distance.

You can also board a tram near there and take a tour of the area, get to the Fort, get the history from the tram driver, etc. (By the way, don't forget to tip your tram driver. Also, the back of the tram is a BUMPY ride...maybe sit towards the front.)

And ghost tours...I know for sure one left right across the street from my hotel so that was convenient.

I think it was Best Western I stayed in. VERY friendly staff. Places to eat right in that area as well.

I would recommend staying just out of town on San Marcos Ave and them walking in
The trolly is noisy and smelly. Get a map and walk..see the fort, Flagler area and the area of town behind Aviles St...rest is very touristy.
Try the Marina boat trip.
