I don't think we've had any trip reports on the St. Augustine location, but I know there is a thread for the San Francisco property.

Cheers.

Don't think of Autograph Collection as a "brand" in the traditional sense. It's more of an umbrella for 4-star hotels that tend to bear very little resemblance to each other. Autograph Collection is for guests who don't want cookie-cutter hotels, but still want Marriott Rewards and Marriott quality assurance. It's for hotel ownership companies that want Marriott's marketing, customer base, reservation system, backend system, and supply chain options, but consider individuality to be an asset, not a liability.

Here's Marriott's marketing hype for Autograph Collection:
Autograph Collection properties range from neighborhood boutique hotels to high-profile mega-resorts, from historical traditionalism to cutting-edge modernity, and from hotels with famous names to those trying to establish such a name.

If searches on this forum for the particular properties you're asking about don't provide adequate results, consider reviews on TripAdvisor and Marriott.com. As always, it's better to read actual reviews than just to look at scores.

Stayed at Casa Monica 4-5 years ago.

Upgraded to a large room over looking the pool and interior courtyard. Typical executive room amenities. Received breakfast vouchers that could be used in the coffee shop (which I only used for coffee / snacks due breakfast being included in my rate plan). Restaurant was very nice. Service good from all staff. Hotel in good location - easy to walk to all the sites.

I can't speak to either of the two properties the OP is considering, but I've stayed at 16 of the 110 or so Autograph properties around the world and have never had a bad experience. Service and amenities at all of them have been excellent, and I would choose an Autograph, if available, in any city over any other brand.
