It was great we checked in an hour before the event we were in town to see. Eddy at the front desk was very helpful. All in all it was a pleasurable experience the location was perfect and the staff friendly.
I had a wonderful week stay here and the location, rooms and service was amazing. I really loved working with Beril, she helped me with everything and I definitely recommend you staying here if you’re in st pete.
This hotel is in a prime location, and has in its building two fabulous restaurants!
The staff is attentive and courteous, especially Eddy at the front desk. The rooms are dated, but the value cannot be beat. I suggest staying at this hotel and will do so again in the future myself.
The staff was great and very helpful. I would have given 5stars but housekeeping needs much improvement!
Very walkable location. Free downtown trolley stop around the corner.
room was exactly what we were looking for, staff was friendly and professional.

The elevator not working at times is an issue.The hotel is cozy and charming..The location is great due to the proximity to everything.It is a good budget friendly option. The rooms are clean.
Staff was great. The room can be a little noisy as the guests upstairs were like moving the furniture early Sunday morning.
Eddy at the front desk was very helpful.
What a great location and experience. 20's style building, friendly staff, cute, clean rooms. The area around it is full of things to do, from museums and activities to incredible restaurants and bars.

Well...we booked this hotel for the location to the Pier and surrounding shopping. This hotel checked both those boxes.
Eddie at the front desk was very friendly. So much so, that I stood in line at the desk for 20 minutes to get towels while he was checking in 2 guests-too talkative.
The room was small. The listing said it was a queen bed. It was not.
The shower handle for the hot water just spun around. Hard to get a good flow and temperature.
It was not worth the cost for the amount we paid to stay here.
If you don't mind a well worn hotel and a luke warm shower in the best location in St. Pete for the lowest price, this is the place. Very pleasant staff too.
Amazing stay! The staff was absolutely spectacular and treated us incredibly well from start to finish. Eddy was especially outstanding — he helped us so much, particularly with finding parking, and was attentive to every detail throughout our stay. We are truly grateful for his kindness and support. Highly recommended!
Everything was awesome. Location. Room. Friendliness of the staff. Parking isn’t great though but you can find it around town. The hotel was an absolutely beautiful place
