Ponce De Leon Hotel

Very clean. I would recommend

Small bed tiny bathroom as if on a Cruise See through bathroom doors No valet , parking garage block away 24$ a night, not disclosed I hotel information No drop off and pick up area ion Friday or Saturday evening and night. No hot water at the sink. Linens stained Staff had no resources to help out Not enough space to dry off from the tiny shower or shave at the sink unless the bathroom door was open Very disappointing.

Very old hotel that has needed an upgrade since 1960!!! The fact that it was cheap was the only reason we stayed.

Personally, I love this hotel! It is not luxury or modern, but I prefer a vintage field. It was very affordable and clean. Everyone was super helpful and I loved the location. I could walk most places that I wanted to go and I really enjoyed my morning walk to the .

Severely dated hotel

Good hotel, nothing fancy but has everything you need.

Downtown Parking, Luke warm water

Poor

Elevator was rough, door handle to by room was ripping off and moving, tv didn't work, bed was old soft and clearly an old spring mattress

The location is really the only thing going for this place and the price. I wouldn’t stay more than one night here if it were me.

The mattress was not good. It had a ditch down the center

Location Location Location Excellent ! Used a parking garage….a lot cheaper than the Orlando Hotels. The shower/bathroom could use some updating. I will visit again, many restaurants and bars in the area.

Good for a one night stay, last minute need, but not for vacationing.

Good stay

The property was close to the night life and food but I must say it was over priced for the room quality.

It was a place to sleep and that's it. Nothing nice inside the hotel.

Mold, cheap, no hot water, not up to date or code

Location and worker Mold, cheap, no hot water, not up to date or code

The architecture was really cool! It was nice to see the art deco designs still existing in the hotel. I had everything I needed in the hotel room, not too fancy. It was just right. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Saint Petersburg.

Everything was as expected except for the elevator. The elevator had a few glitches, but once you figured it out, it was okay

The bed was very comfortable. With the A/C cranked up, you could hang a side of beef in the room. A big person will not be able to articulate the bathroom very well. I could pee and touch the side walls with my elbows at the same time! Shower had good hot water and good water pressure but, it's 28 INCHES square! I dropped the soap and had to step out of the shower to be able to bend over and pick it up. No grab bars needed. If you slip, the bathroom is so small, all you would do is lean into the wall! Another good thing about the shower and the toilet being so close together is, if you're in a rush in the morning, you can actually take a dump AND wash your hair at the same time! I would recommend a room in the back middle as high as possible. I stayed in a corner room on the 4th floor facing South and East toward the yacht club. Great view but, it's noisier than Times Square at all hours of the night; especially on the weekend. Damn motorcycles want to "cruise" up and down the main road and rev-up at the intersection. If the Hotel had a firehose in the hallway, I swear I would have soaked their asses! I would also recommend that if you're going out on the town, go down the hall and push the elevator button first. That way, by the time you get ready and return to it, it might get there before you are! The TV was smaller than my computer screen. Had 2 remotes. One for on/off and the other for channels and volume. Had to find me a 12-year-old to show me how to use them! No porno channels. Come to find out, I didn't need them. The room walls are so thin, I just listened to the room next to me! Hell. When they were finished, I, smoked a damn cigarette! I believe I would stay here again just to see what happens next! If you like 100-year-old Hotels, this is the place. I actually had fun there. The dead guy in the lobby!

👎

Housekeeping was minimal and often missed. Elevator was balky and broke down on departure day. shower tub is dangerous without any grab bar or non-slip mat. Lack of seating in room.

Very good

Very old, update now.

filthy room and bath.

Nothing to say

I will be back

All in all we loved our time in St. Pete’s Danielle Pointon

Convenient location and friendly staff

Great staff. Fixtures, Furniture, and Decor are very worn and dated. The location is perfect and priced low for the area. It's clean and safe. More of a place to crash after a night out in downtown Pete.

Perfect location, historic charm, comfy room and bed, water view, great price and helpful staff.

Cozy room. Bugs in room. Long wait for elevators.

Bugs in room. Long wait for elevators.

Clean room

The hotel definitely has a very old, historic feel, but not much has been updated, so it shows its age. Parking wasn’t the most convenient since you have to use a parking garage, which can be a bit of a hassle. On the plus side, the location is right in the middle of everything, which makes it great if you’re planning to go out and enjoy the nightlife. Overall, it’s a decent option if you just need a place to stay for the night while you’re out partying

Don’t have parking

Pleasant

old old hotel in need of tear down.

charming hotel; non-bougie and comfortable. great location, comfortable bed, clean and lots of character. no frills room, hotel has a great story. will stay here again.

Sooo dirty yuck, very old hotel but they could make it nicer if they wanted to. Night stuff was very nice. But over all would never go back

Room smelled very musty. Windows would not stay open, springs not working. Hot water never got hot just luke warm. No parking handled by hotel, forced to pay nearby garage, so you end up paying for 2 days for one night stay.

Beautiful 1920s old Florida hotel! Great location. Nothing fancy but reasonable price wise.

The hotel is older so you need to know that I order to set the right expectations. One elevator. However it is super convenient to everything in downtown St Pete. One block from the water. One block from Saturday Farmer’s Market. Attached to the building are restaurants and bars. The nightlife of St Pete is all within walking distance. So if you want a nice cozy place and don’t mind a little older property this is a great place. Just one thing to note…. Hot water in the shower takes time to heat up. Don’t jump right in.

Very noisy! Couldn’t sleep! Not clean! No hot water!

The girl who checked us in was nice. Got my reservation wrong, it took a LONG time to get it sorted out hotel is run down, dingy, damp, dark and smelled musty. The water backed up in our sink, the room was VERY crowded, we could not walk easily anywhere in the room. There was nowhere to put our things anywhere in the room except the bed the floor or the closet. My friend said she felt like bugs were crawling on her at night. The next day, We saw a LIVE ROACH IN OUR ROOM. .

Lovely boutique hotel in the heart of St. Pete’s, FL. Staff was friendly and onsite 24/7. Rooms were small but comfortable enough for a one night stay. We stayed in one of the standard rooms but I recommend upgrading to get a bigger bed (ours was a full). Bathroom was tiny but everything worked. Parking is across the street in a separate garage and costs $16 for 24hours. There were two restaurants outside the hotel that were really good. Good location and affordable price.

Bed was horribly uncomfortable. The furnishings were a mish-mosh of garage sale type furniture. & decorative.

The frontdesk staff was unfriendly. The hotel and ny room needed maintenance. Overall, the atmosphere rather resembled a cheap hostel, but without being cheap. Cannot recommend to stay here. I did like the vicinity to the waterfront.

Nothing This was easily one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. The room conditions were unacceptable: no cold water in the shower, windows that wouldn’t open at all, a bent bathroom shelf that couldn’t hold anything, and overall poor maintenance (scratched and worn edges, chipped paint, sticky and damaged floors). The smell in the room was genuinely unpleasant. Cleanliness was also a serious issue. There was a clear cockroach infestation (I have photos, with insects of all sizes), and even visible wasp nests. This alone should be a major red flag. Noise and safety were another problem. One night, a couple next door had a violent fight — shouting, slamming doors, throwing objects — and no one from the hotel intervened. I tried calling reception, but the phone in the room didn’t work. Later that same night, another guest started blasting music around 2:00 AM. I reported it at reception after trying to handle it myself, and again, nothing was done. To make matters worse, I had to insist on changing rooms because of all this. The hotel initially resisted, and when they finally agreed, they moved me to a smaller room without any refund or compensation. Overall, this place shows a complete lack of maintenance, hygiene, and basic guest management. I would strongly not recommend staying here.

Great location in the middle of downtown Bay Area.

The staff would not acknowledge us when we arrived at the Hotel for check in, as she was writing her notes in her notebook. The first night of our stay, we found alive cockroaches in the bathroom and throughout our stay we had to deal with this issue. The elevator was licking and you could not help being rained on while in elevator. on their website, they claimed/stated that there was self-parking available, and breakfast and coffee was served which none was true. we had to keep feeding the parking meter every two hours. The staff were very unfriendly and rude.

Location; affordable. No hot water in shower. No staff at front desk consistently. No cleaning of room for 3 day stay until the 3rd day and that was just for towels.

Was good for the location and that's about it There was no hot water for the two days we stayed there. We had informed the front desk and she was very rude to my boyfriend when he informed her. The guy came two or three hours later to "fix" it. But it never got fixed. Also, toilet was not working either.

Clean room and great location. All outdated and the beds need redone, but it is friendly and perfect location

So many online reviews cite dated facilities, cleanliness concerns and a desperate need for upgrades, which is 100% true, but something I didnt see mentioned is that guest rooms ARE DIRECTLY ABOVE A NIGHTCLUB and it is impossible to get a good night's sleep. The thumping bass was loud until almost 3am, followed by the VERY loud crowd shouting outside until about 3:30am. We stayed here for the nearby triathlon and needed to get up before 5am the next morning. We had prepared ourselves for a no frills room to avoid some extra travel- the important thing was it was a place to sleep. So when the ONE purpose of the room was impossible, I'd give this hotel zero stars if I could. When we were headed out for the race at 5:30am, we saw someone randomly sleeping on the couch in the common area! The overall vibe is peculiar to say the least. Low price and location are NOT worth a loud sleepless night in a crappy room. Spend the extra dollars and stay ANYWHERE else.

The Good: • Location: Excellent and very convenient for walking around St. Pete. • Staff: Friendly and professional service. The Bad: • Room Comfort: The bed was uncomfortable, and the walls were thin enough that I could hear the neighbors. • Atmosphere: There was a very harsh, overpowering smell of disinfectant in the room. - thin walls: I could hear everything from the room near mine

It's my second time staying at this hotel and I'm definitely coming again. It's well located and rooms are nice for the price, it's a good deal! The staff are helpful, and I left my luggage with them because my flight would be in the evening, they were super nice about it and no charges!

The only this hotel has going for it is the terrific location. I would not stay there again, in spite of the low price.

There is no parking for the hotel, there is a parking garage a couple of blocks away. That you have to walk back to the hotel. Staff was very friendly but not really worth the money. Although the room was clean.

Awful, place is literally falling apart, full of mold, dirty and disgusting!

The bed was comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly

Location. No hot water. Dirty bedding and room.

Location. No hot water. Dirty bedding and room.

Regret that I booked this place. I’ve stayed at other historic places in St. Pete and this was the worse. Dirty room, floors were filthy, bed was old, small, you sunk in middle and it and squeaky. Tv half hanging off wall when we walked in. No hot water no matter how long you let it run. Half used body washes. Shades weren’t big enough to cover the window, refrigerator door busted, bathroom fan was extremely loud. Bathroom door gets stuck. Noisy guests up and down halls all night. Not enough staff so there is nobody that can help you. No parking comes with room. The actual places looks nothing like the photos inside or out. We couldn’t wait to get outta there.

This was my worst hotel experience in decades. Youth gostel atmosphere, and in my opinion way overpriced. The hotel needs maintenance, the front desk staff wasz friendly. The adjacent restaurant's ventilation was noisy all night. The only good thing I can say about the hotel is its location in walking distance to the waterfront.

There is a reason this hotel rates in the 3-star range. Definitely a historic building, but not kept up all that well. Rooms are very basic, cracks in walls and ceilings, and for rooms facing the street, no sound insulation at all. Location is great and the staff I worked with were super willing to help if asked. If you go, take shower items; you'll want your own.

The historic property has its 100+ year old charm along with some grime and grunge left over from the last mid-century era. Rates were over $200/nt and it does not appear any of that is being invested in the condition of the property.

Forgot your coat hangers, no problem, so did they! Enjoy the tranquil drip of low pressure water as you let the shower run for 1-2 minutes for hot water. Don't be modest, soak up the sunshine through a single pane window while you simultaneously soak in the tub. What a view for everyone! Can't decide if you want the blinds open or closed, do both. One is stuck down, the other open, best of both worlds. Enjoy a DIY coffee experience in the common area, complete with antique pouches of powdered coffee dust. Abstract art enthusiast? The stains on the valance provide a great focal point and are open to interpretation.

Very disappointed. I never do negative reviews this but this one I cannot let slide.We wanted to experience the old St Pete vibe by staying at this hotel. Our room had no place to store our clothes. No dressers no hangers no ironing board. The shower was just as bad. No running hot water. The floors were dirty. Our feet were black, just by walking several steps in the room. Tried to call the front desk, but their phone in the room didn't work. So I use my cell phone but no one answered. I had to go five flights down the stairs to contact the front desk, who was new, if she could possibly get us some hangers and an ironing board, she said give her 30 minutes. We never saw any of the items listed, including extra towels. We won't be back. This is unfortunate because they're in a perfect location.

Property is old, but it is not clean. Staff was as helpful as she could be, but the elevator was not working, one of the bathrooms in the two bed unit has no sink. The location is the draw, but this is not a good place to stay beyond the one nonrefundable night

Never again will I stay here and never will I recommend anyone else to.

Location Have to park in parking garage couple blocks away

The front desk clerk did move me into a sister hotel. Everything, I had to leave. Water dripping on me from the ceiling as I use the restroom, elevator smell of epoxy was fatal and I thought I was trapped in the elevator due to how slowly it moved due to age, my room reeked of mold, probable black mold, parking is 2 blocks away and I was charged $51 for overnight parking.

I did not eat at hotel. The shower would drip on center silver piece and the floor was wet when i returned. It didnt stop until i persisted to aggressively turn oater off.

Property is a great location in downtown St. Petersburg. Great value if you just want an affordable place to stay downtown. Everything downtown is walkable. No parking on site but a public parking garage is close.

Hotel location is awesome. Room was clean. Parking wasn't great. Has to park a block or so away. Ended up paying $22 for the parking. Due to event parking $10 then an additional $12 the next morning. Hotel is very old and doors are very thin. You can hear anyone that comes by the room.

Great location at a cheap price. That’s why we stayed. Bed uncomfortable, pillows not so good either.

Have to park in parking garage couple blocks away

Please Trust the negative reviews. They will be good to bad. Our experience was bad. The room was cramped, old wood floor dirty, bed springs noisy & uncomfortable, decor was yuk, 2 double windows with curtains that didn’t close all the way- I had 2 hair clips to close them together, shower curtain was moldy, room was musty smelling & damp feeling. This room was on the 3rd floor & located on the corner of the building, a bar with outdoor seating was directly under our room & we heard people until early morning. The street on one side of the room was a drag strip for motorcycles through out the night. The worst part is when I told the staff at the front desk when checking out, he said “next time ask to get a room on the 6th floor, which is much better, yes, the room you were in is not very good.” To be told that by the front desk staff is terrible & he had absolutely NO apology whatsoever. We were staying in the area for a 3 day music festival & only needed a place to sleep & shower so wasn’t looking for a place to hang out during the day, but our room was the worst - honestly!

Nothing

The only good thing about the property was the location. However, they do not provide parking; you have to pay to park in a public lot. First, there was no one at the front desk at 3pm to check us in. There was a note saying someone would be back in 5 min. with a phone number. After 10 min. we called and the gentleman said he was sorry, he was 30 min out. There was a huge line by the time he eventually arrived. It was extremely dirty. The inside of the refrigerator was sticky. The room itself looked like a halfway house. We did not spend the night.

Parking was a block away, building shows it age but is convenient to the pier. Price reflects what you get.

We’ve stayed here before. The staff is pretty meager but helpful. There are no frills but it’s clean and in a good location.

Definitely not a boutique hotel. The entire building needs to be renovated. Our room was not properly clean. The location is the only advantage of this hotel.

The property is in a very convenient location, the staff were helpful and the room was very clean. It would’ve been nice to be able to check in sooner than 4 PM which left us a bit short on time. It would’ve also been nice for the coffee bar in the lobby to be open for business while we were waiting for our room to be ready.

The rooms are old and dirty. While I was there I saw at least three German roaches in my room. Nothing looked as if they were cleaned at any point or if they were it had to have been months ago. The elevator didn’t work really well and would get stuck. The bed was an old spring bed and was concave in the center of it. Floors felt sticky and gross. Shower had mildew everywhere and the shower head couldn’t let water through properly because all the holes were blocked up. Don’t be too large of a person because the path to squeeze into the shower and the bathroom sink will stop you. The free shampoo and conditioners were empty. They have no cleaning service so do not expect your room to be serviced in between the days that you stay. Parking also sucks. Cool location but just seems like they have to invest way more into their property. If you’re a couple. Do not book here. If you’re a person that can stand the mediocre hospitality and run down rooms and want to save money then this may be the place for you.

Could use attention to detail. Friendly staff and clean

I realize marijuana is virtually legal now, but dang, the dank and skunky smell in the second floor hallway was awful.

Terrible.

There was hair on the wall of the shower so I question how well the bathroom was cleaned.

Room was clean but was in need of maintenance and improvements.

This hotel need a big renovation the showers were like back in the 1980 and the sink water was spraying outside the sink clothes would get wet.

Excellent location

Staff is friendly. Location is great. There is a night club at the bottom of the building outside which makes for a lot of noise from the music and people until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays

No hot water. Spend the extra money an stay somewhere nicer

The furniture throughout the room was in poor condition—worn, damaged, and outdated, as though it had not been replaced in decades. The overall cleanliness of the space was unacceptable; the floors were stained and felt dirty to the point that walking barefoot was uncomfortable. Due to the condition of the room, I was concerned about bringing any belongings back into my home and took precautions with my luggage. Finally, while the elevator was operational, it made loud, unsettling noises and moved erratically, raising concerns about its safety and maintenance. Overall, the experience fell well below reasonable expectations for cleanliness, comfort, and upkeep.

The room wasn’t very clean. The floors were

Stay was not good It was old and shower didn’t work

Disgusting

Generally clean room, but we did see a couple of German cockroaches in the room. No parking which isn’t ideal. No breakfast. Overall a pleasant stay though.

Was not disclosed there was no parking on site, and that we had to pay to park in a ramp down the road. The rooms are small, the bathroom had a broken toilet, no hand soap, and had to ask a couple times to get some. The mattress must have been the original from the hotel build as it was horrible. We wake up the next morning to learn there was no hot water --tried several times over a 2 hour period and still no hot water. will not be back

Seriously. Read the reviews. I unfortunately did not. This property is dirty, run down and stinks from the restaurant exhaust next door. There are NO amenities besides a single elevator that wasn’t working. Our room was all mismatched furniture from times gone by. Mini fridge sitting on the floor with a coffee maker on top. There was no hot water and they were “sold out” and unable to switch my room. Oh, and there is no parking. No valet. Shame because it’s in a good location. So yeah, never again. I understand it’s an old building, but the hot water issue goes back YEARS, look at the reviews.

When we finally got a room, the window in the bathroom was cracked, window locks were broken, air conditioner was hanging off the wall, & the door frame/lock were severely damaged, all of which we didn’t realize until the morning. After 3 more nights of being told they would “try” to move us, we finally had to book a different hotel and check out. Getting a refund for the nights not stayed was a hassle, though we finally did get one. The bathroom never got hot water so showers were cold. There was no water at all one afternoon for reasons that were never explained. As a 5’8” female, I could not close the door while using the toilet because I was too tall & my knees blocked the door from closing. I also got stuck in the elevator. Would never book here again. That said, I felt terrible for the staff. They were WONDERFUL and really did try to help, but they can only do so much. If you want a cheap, questionable room in a great location, this is the place for you. If you want safety, hot water, & cleanliness, go elsewhere.

Location Poor customer service no hot water smelled like piss when the water was running the bed felt like it had holes and lumps how uneven it felt not worth it at all

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.

The building is old but historical, If you don't want quirky issues to pop up, go rent somewhere else. If you like a genuine trip mixed with real life- we loved being right downtown but felt the bathroom was small. We will visit again with all of its "flair". The town trolly is right outside the door. Access the city on the Looper or walk a half a mile to anywhere. Save your money on the rental car, and take a luke warm shower instead.

Locally owned historic gem right in the heart of st Pete

No hot water; generally falling apart

This is was probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. The room smelt horrible. The window was falling out. The air conditioner was dusty, moldy, and falling apart. We got very sick from whatever was being blown out of the air conditioner and had to go to the doctors and get prescribed medicine for a respiratory infection from mold. I had to buy my own bedding to even feel a little comfortable falling asleep. I also bought disinfectant wipes and spray to use in the room. There was absolutely no hot water either. When I told the girl at the front desk about the room, she just replied “come back tomorrow and maybe we can help you then”. Do not stay here.

Room was completely outdated. Furniture, beds, lobby poor condition. No hot water for the entire 2 night stay.

No water then no hot water

Room was outdated, beds pretty uncomfortable. The shower had no water pressure and was luke warm at best.

Didn’t have hot water. Only one elevator. Room not up to par

best value in downtown st. pete

It's an old hotel in the heart of St. Pete's so with that in mind I realize that it has it's quirks. But we had no hot water the whole time we were there. Just be aware.

Elevator didn’t work

The room still had things from previous person. A sandwich and other things. Could tell it was not cleaned properly.

None of the trims has clean sheets, no hot water. Front desk is absent for 40 minutes. Everything is falling apart! It’s horrible hotel! Stay away!

Bed was comfortable and room was clean

We checked in and due to understaffing we had to wait extra long for our room, which is no big deal. But when they sent us up the cleaning staff was still working and started rushing. We finally get inside and we were missing toilet paper, a trash bag in the can, and the toiletries the last guest had USED was still in the shower. We decided that it was no big deal, we just wanted to shower after a long day at the beach. When we tried to run the water nothing came out, so we spoke to the front desk and we were told that plumbing was being worked on and would be out for up to/ over an hour. Meaning no going to the restroom , no shower, or not even to wash our hands.This had not been mentioned to us before we went up to our room. When we finally got the opportunity to shower there was a sign inside the shower that said let water run 1 to 2 minutes for hot water, at best we got lukewarm water for approximately 3 minutes before it went back to cold, no matter how long we ran it. We tried to open a window to let in some air and the window literally fell off the hinges. The staff was very sweet but the hotel itself was very mismanaged and uncleanly, which I understand is due to staffing issues but this is an issue they need to sort out within their own company if it is going to directly affect the guests.

What a Piss Hole. Room never cleaned. Had to beg for towels. Don’t believe any fake positive reviews.

Room and property are not as advertised. Price certainly reflects stay. However, cleanliness is a nonnegotiable. I am including photos. Should have left but did not want to lose my money. On a positive note air conditioner worked like a champ. Water was warm, and no bedbugs.

Every

There was no kitchen, no bar, no restaurant inside the hotel. Everything was outside next door.

No kitchen or bar.

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.

The hotel is old and the photos are deceiving. Great location and staff was always friendly, but the room had a smell that was hard to explain and faded after 5 seconds. Small, stocked fridge with water and sodas in the room, but the wood floor was dirty and a small bathroom. I opened the curtains and blinds to see the surroundings, but there was apparent damage around the windows due to poor maintenance. Bedding needs to be upgraded.

Location is wonderful, walking distance to everything, staff was amazing (Eddy went above and beyond), price was great Beds are alittle uncomfortable and could use upgraded mattresses

Great location Elevator was little bit slow and scary

Room did not appear to have been fully cleaned before check in. Bedding was old or dirty. Items left in mini fridge from previous guests. Water did not get hot and box AC unit did not cool room. Staff did not answer or respond to calls timely or at all. The photos that are displayed were not accurate and did not truthfully reflect the conditions of this hotel.

This hotel needs major updating. Wonky elevator, dirty old bedding and furniture, poor plumbing.

The water in the shower was always cold. The TV did not work and I ask the front desk but nothing was done. The mattress was old and no support.

No Kitchen, fridge had a couple soda and some water in it

Front reception was very rude. We had late check out and had to pay $45 to stay until 3pm but were told we had to leave by 1pm but still had to pay the same price. House keeping then knocked on our door every 20 minutes so we couldn’t sleep anyways. Would pay more to stay any where else. Doors and walls are thin and there’s “water fountains” on the floors that are just for looks, no water or ice

What kitchen? The rusty little mini-fridge was all there was.

Upside: The staff were wonderful and kind. The room was quiet and comfortable.

The staff were very competent The rooms were dirty, had cockroaches and odd smell.

the location was good. hotel was close to a variety of good eats. entertainment was close by. toilet paper was good. that is all i found to be positive. the bed was uncomfortable. bugs in room. bedding scratchy. bathroom old. no parking for hotel guest. coffee pot broken. mini bar consist of 2 options soda or water.

They had undergone a recent management change and were undergoing some refresh/renovation. Water pressure was not good. The bedding and furniture was old and tired. Water pressure was terrible.

Here are the “cons” - bear with me, they are a lot: - Very dirty. A historic hotel with a vintage vibe does not have to be dingy to highlight its charm. - No hot water. There is a sign to “let the water run for 1-2 minutes”. Yeah… more like 15 minutes to get relatively warm water. - No daily housekeeping (as advertised), even with door handle sign request. When asked, they said it was done after check out, which would be ok, if originally stated. They offered to come and make the room, but they never did. - Broken and dingy furniture. NOTHING in the room was as pictured in the website. See MY pictures to compare. - Entrance is extremely slippery when wet. No entrance carpet. - No parking, or valet - Front desk incompetence. People were nice, but completely ignorant of basic hospitality principles. Questions were answered vaguely, if at all. When we complained about the issues they said “management would get in touch with us”. I am still waiting for that call. - Read the descriptions carefully: Fees are for two guests. Additional guests pay extra. Not recommended for families, AT ALL. No amenities for children (no pool), and we had to put up with MJ smell in the hall all weekend. - Fun fact: Toiletries were from another hotel. What’s up with that?!

First room I was put in was not nice.

Location this is part of my previous review 2 reservations for 1 stay. Unsafe. Someone opened our door at 0250 am. Was able to see it on relay of hotel video. Thank God we had our lock on. NOT ACCEPTABLE Hotel is avoiding the responsibility in follow up after promising a full refund. Also, has promised to return call multiple times without fulfilling that promise. Very poor to absent customer service. Lip service only.

Great location. Someone opened our door at 250 am. Scary unsafe. Was told they would refund our entire trip as there also was no hot water and a strong smell of marijuna coming from the employee stock room across the hall, the entire stay. I have called and called without resolution. Even booking has not responded. NOT OK

Shower when you turned it on was coming out of the wall . Had the only room with a cute balcony. Nice location.

N/A

It was dark . Could be lightened up.

The bed was on the floor, the sink in the room was broken, the windows were screwed shut, the bathroom tub facet came out of the well. There was a sink in the hallway which was apart. This is the worse place I’ve ever stayed and would like my money back!

No hot water and my sink wouldn’t drain

Kind of clean, but run down. It was ok.

Overall I won't stay at this property again as we were not comfortable there at all, couldn't wait to check out.

Do NOT stay at this hotel. We did not have hot water. We were repeatedly told our stay would be refunded and to have Expedia contact them. Every time Expedia contacted them, they were hung up on and unable to resolve the issue.

No hot water in the shower. I had to take a cold shower. They changed rooms for me the next day. Found razor and shave cream I the room. I sat on the couch and a roach ran across my feet while I was sitting there. Great location and respectful staff. They can try a little harder.

The front desk staff was amazing, specifically Eddie, but the room was dirty and I had ONLY hot scalding water in the shower. Weirdly, I had family in another room and they only had cold water. I stayed for 3 nights and had to wash in the sink because the shower was unusable. Spoke to the front desk, but they couldn’t move me because the hotel was sold out. It was Presidents Day weekend.

It was ok. Older building that was renovated but things didn’t run as expected from a hotel with history.

The rooms need to be remodeled. Run down, old beds, leaking sink, shower curtain showers, tight bathrooms.

The location is good, the property is old and only in fair condition.

Room and size of room was nice. Bathroom small but expected. No hot water in shower.

The floor felt sticky on our shoes in the room. The shower didn’t really get hot and didn’t have great pressure. They only gave us two towels when there were 3 of us staying there for two nights. We had to ask for more since no one came in to clean or refresh anything. They also put a $30 hold on my card in case we took anything from the “mini bar” in our room but there was nothing in our room except a couple bottles of water. I wouldn’t recommend this place, but it fits the bill as a cheaper option if you need one.

excellent staff...amenities pretty standard

We had to switch rooms because the bed in the first room was so uncomfortable. They didn’t mind. Bathrooms need updating

Cold showers

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.

Great location and staff was very helpful. A boutique hotel as described, so expect the charm of days yonder.

Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel! Lived in the area my entire life and choose to stay here for a night away and will be my go to!

Nothing like the pictures. If you sit on the toilet your face can rest on the sink. Whole hotel smelled like mildew and there was nothing included in the stay, like breakfast. You have to pay $30 a night to park across the street in a parking garage

House keeping could be better as we had a bleach stain on our comforter and there was moldy coffee in the coffee pot from a previous guest. Also the shower tiles had some mildew. The parking situation here is awful. They tell you that you can park in a nearby garage for $16 a day, although then you cannot come and go from the garage and if there is an event nearby using the garage you have to pay up front for the event parking and then the daily rate when you go to leave the garage. You can park on the street near the hotel but there is a 2 hour limit before 10PM, and then you have to move your car or make sure you start paying for parking promptly at 9AM, and that’s IF you can find street parking nearby. With that said, the staff was friendly and helpful although one evening when we came in late, the gentleman who was working the front desk was asleep at the desk. I would stay here again if I found a good deal on this hotel but I wouldn’t purposefully seek out this hotel to stay at again.

We gave up at 1:30am. And drive home. I’ve called 5-6 phone numbers for so called customer service. Of course there’s no human being to talk to. They don’t care about their customers at all.

It was clean and comfortable. Would have liked a microwave.

After that, I never received a receipt in any form, and found we were charged an extra $5 for two Great Value brand water bottles that were sitting on the fridge, which was apparently a mini-bar. I don't mind the character that boutique or historical hotels may offer, but this was an awful experience for a special weekend with my girlfriend. Should have stayed at a Days Inn instead for the same money.

The location was great. There were a ton of restaurants and things to do. The room was

Nice staff, bed was comfy, and room reasonably priced. Was there on Friday so got woken up by the street bar noise a couple times.

Great location. N

The bed was absolutely horrible! The stock was nice and the hotel room was clean but would not go back.

The hotel is a quirky little bit of history. Older building but maintained. Interesting lay out, great location and the staff are amazing.

More dated than we expected based upon comments. Great location.

Old hotel, most notably with regard to the elevator and bathroom, but clean and comfortable, fairly quiet. No ice available in the hotel - could get small amounts from the restaurant next door. Shower water was luke warm at best regardless of how long you let it warm up. No discounts to park in local garages. But staff was friendly and as I mentioned, the room was clean

I had to change room four times for multiple issues. Squeaking beds a bet I slept on completely slouched and screeched. Doris paint scratched off, mold in the bathrooms. Elevator not working very well.

Location was perfect.

No hot water to shower. Shower floor needs deep cleaning. Otherwise served its purpose.

This hotel is not ready for visitors. I was promised to have my hotel stay fee returned but it was not. Also the $30 deposit for beverages was also not returned. Do not stay here.

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.

The location was great, but the bed was too bouncy and soft and there was no hot water

Hot water not hot TV did not work and desk clerk did not respond to request to fix I request partial refund

Unfortunately, the hot water in the shower was not working. And the mattress was horrible.

Great! Just what we needed.

The room

Staff was great, but the room was not. Cold, and no heater. Other rooms we had rented for staff members did have heaters.

I will say the man on the front desk wascvery apologetic but he seemed to be working with no back up.

In the morning we left for a bit and then came back and by 9 o’clock. Our keys were deactivated for our room. We had to get in the line of other guests who also had deactivated keys and couldn’t get in their rooms. In addition to that there was no hot water at all. We let the shower run for almost 10 minutes and the hot water never kicked in. When we checked out again, there were other people downstairs to complain about the hot water situation. The gentleman at the front desk was nice and apologized for everything going on. But it was not a great situation.

No to Little Hot Water , Elevator Broke a few times around Checkout.

Cons: no hot water and the elevator wasn’t working

Staff was good, a bare minimum hotel and very old but great location

This place has really declined. Dirty sheets, bad smells…it just seems like they’re not keeping it up.

Staff ⚕️ was amazing ⭐

Beril at the front desk was kind, welcoming, and helpful. She made our stay extra special.

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.

Eddy at the front desk was very helpful.

It is a boutique hotel that needs some updates to make it more comfortable. Such as new carpets in the hallways. Updated paint colors so that it doesn't feel like a college dorm. Also the shower needs a proper glass enclosure or a shower curtain that doesn't allow water all over the floor. Please get more comfortable mattresses; too firm snd cheap. If you don't want to hear street noise, ask to be in a room off the street side; you can hear all the traffic and people in the street until 2am and then returning guests talking in the hallway! We also had someone knocking on our door at 5:30 am. This hotel is more conducive for college age; beware.

Room had no hot water so they transferred me to their sister Hotel, The Exchange. The Exchange was legitimately the dirtiest, grossest place I have ever stayed. I slept in my clothes on the bed…

Very old building but well kept! Cant beat the location!!

Staff was very friendly and helpful!

No hot water.

The whole building is dilapidated, the shower hadn't been cleaned in a while, the room smelled of mildew, the heater didn't work, and there was a hole in the bathroom window

It was ok, but it was really loud and people were slamming doors shut all night. Also there is no parking so you have to pay another $40 to pay down the street. I would have chosen a place further away from downtown had I known this.

The room is cute but the bathroom is something else. Mold on the shower, no shelves, and it clearly hasn't been cleaned in a while. The room smells of mildew and stale air, I had to get a candle to cover the smell. The building is clearly old and there are some funny design choices. The staff is minimal but polite. The bartender at the tapas restaurant was rude but he also told me they are not associated with the hotel. Overall, you get what you pay for and this was a lower budget option with the perfect location.

Will never go back for a third trip.

The bed was very comfortable and new. The location was the best feature: right close to the t Pete Yacht Club and the main restraurant row. The shower was tile, but the water lacked strong pressure. The price was great, even during busy season (January-Feb), so I'll definitely stay here again!

The rooms were serviceable with some nice aesthetics. Building has some twenties era wood floors that would look amazing if they were refinished but I don't know how they'd hold up to hotel traffic.

Such a quaint place, very art deco. Comfy bed and such a perfect location to explore St. Pete.

The stay was great up until the night before I checked out. A man, obviously a staff member tried to gain entry to my room around 11:00p.m. I had the deadbolt engaged so he couldn’t enter my room. This was very scary and I was clearly shaken and decided to leave at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. Needless to say I won’t be booking with them again.

When we arrived they told us we were on the 6th floor. Then they let us know the elevator was broken. So we had to walk 6 flights of stairs all weekend. I knew from reviews that hotel was dated. This does not bother me. But room did not feel clean. Floor was sticky, behind bed was caked with dust. We only got two towels. No one came and cleaned our room the next day. The only good thing I can say about the hotel is it is in a great location. But there was no relaxing and enjoying our room. Once we left for the day we didn't come back till bed time, as we didn't want to walk those stairs 4 times in one day.

Great location and friendly staff, clean and comfortable

Roaches in the hotel. It was nasty we left after two hours

There were two cockroaches in our room. The bed and bedding were very uncomfortable. It is noisy. It was a walkable distance to the Duke Energy Center.

Brianna at the front desk was so amazingly helpful and nice.

room was exactly what we were looking for, staff was friendly and professional.

Floors were filthy (a few small splatters of what appeared to be blood near the entrance to the bathroom, hair, dust, etc.) I had to kill two bugs in bathroom, elevator out of order, in-room phone had no wires attached to call front desk, light switch for light fixture above bathroom mirror not reachable without climbing onto sink. Also the walls are very thin so it was very hard to sleep until the bars were closed, street emptying and other guests settling down.

Pictures are very deceiving. The room was so dirty and old. Shades were broken and missing. There was no working elevator so we had to haul all of the luggage up 3 flights of stairs.

Nice staff, undependable elevator, fun retro

Nice staff but noisy environment due to ooor insulation

The place is a little rough around the edges, but it has charm and the location can’t be beat

The best feature is the location. The floor of our room was sticky and there was a smell.

Very unprofessional. Screwed up reservation... room had food in the fridge from last person using the room.... had multiple reservations to be combined. 2 people telling me we are good.... rude lady telling me to check out!!!! Drove 17 hours for this level of customer service. Never again!!!!

The facility needs rehabbing/renovating...very poor presentation, old chipped paint worn out everything from the floors to molding, paint, furniture and fixtures, rusted sink missing fixtures, staff was rude upon late check in; the furniture is old and worn and did not match decor, the mattress was hard as a brick and there were make up stains on one of the hand towels.

Rooms were pretty bad in a need of a renovation the attendant was awesome. Like show knob fell off shower door would barley close it needs help badly.

La verdad. Nones comonse ve en la foto. Por fuera esta abandonado y por dentro muy viejo y no limpio No es verdad q tienen estacionamienro. El estacionamiento wsta a 1 cuadra y mwdia y debes pagarlo. Porque ws piblico. Estuvimos en el segundo piso y la buya es twrrible. Ademas q estabamos cerca de la cocina y siempre huno ruidoss. Lo siento pero no lo recomiendo

Problem with first room but staff was very accommodating and moved us to a different room.

The hotel itself was built in 1920’s. As a result the hotel has a lot of character but is in no way modern. You will have the benefit of a safe and clean place to sleep, bathe and store luggage. The location is beyond excellent and balances out the age of the hotel and sparse accommodations. If you are a light sleeper you will absolutely need good ear plugs because the walls and floors are thin. If you have bad knees, note the beds are low to the ground and the stairs are steep and narrow in the event you need to use them. You will need a steamer or travel iron for your clothes. Parking is one block away and is safe and convenient. There is a wonderful bar (Novu) connected to the hotel on the right. They have great HH specials on drink and food. Fortu is Michelin starred restaurant connected to the hotel on the left. I stayed for one night only needing the place to change and sleep. The property was good for those purposes.

N/A

Nice old building but you have to pay for parking!

Michael Tartaro with Signature X Limo Tampa and they take care of me it’s amazing you have FORTU restaurant in the building and they treat you amazing. I tell you that’s the best spot that hotel you can’t beat the location and everything is perfect.

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!

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.

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

Staff Brianna was amazing

Rooms were okay. Parking was a pain. $16/day with rollover at 5 am.

The room could of been in better condition but the view was spectacular..would definitely stay again in room 517 or 617 for an even better view...

Room could use some repair. Floor in bath missing tiles. Windows could have been cleaned. Blow dryer did not work. Very noisy in the evenings.

Great staff! Older hotel, charming atmosphere

First room was dirty.Second room had no air conditioning.Finally found room number 3 to stay in. was supposed to receive a full refund, but did not receive it.

Always a good stay.

No plasticware

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.

The room was too small.

Clean, friendly staff, great location

Staff was very friendly

Bed sheets had a stain on them, the bathroom

Hotel was immaculate. Staff was lovely.

You have to pay for parking

The outstanding location is the main advantage of this old boutique hotel, and the staff is very friendly—especially Mahmut. However, please be aware that the building shows its age. There is only one slow elevator, and the rooms are dated and in need of restoration.

Parking is by the street.

Rooms generally clean but the shower soap holder had mold which was gross. Staff generally nice. It’s not fancy but it’s quirky and unique assume great location

Staff was super all 4 days.

My son stay here the pillow cases were dirty. He even saw a bug in the room.

Great location close to everything. Very old hotel, however clean and comfy. No frills at all, and parking is the main killer, you have to park in two walking distance garages, thankfully it was not raining. Pack light!

Staff curtious

-The staff was very friendly -Two nights was about $364 -Very easy to walk to shops and restuarants - There is no onsite parking, we parked in a parking garage about a half block away -The hotel was old, very dated rooms -Not dirty, but not sure if the staff cleaned well either -There were black hairs on the bathroom walls -Stuff on the floor, like it was not swept well -There was no hot water in the second bathroom, they had a sign saying let the water run, but the water was still cool in the shower

Is very quiet place

Gezim was the sweetest and most helpful! We stayed here for St. Pete Country Fest & had a wonderful stay! Can’t wait to come back next year!

Musty rooms, no working toilet, no running water. No water? How are you even allowed to operate as a hotel?? Upon checkout, front desk said they "made a note" and not much they could do, and to call back later... like what??? Also, couldnt even print or email a copy of said note to dispute with later, and then they didnt have a name of the person to call and speak to if you wanted. Absolute disaster of a place.

Staff was wonderful. Can't beat the location and price. This is a wonderful historic hotel with large rooms with a retro vibe.

Friendly staff

Hotel is very old and has not been maintained. Our room was very dirty. Everything needs a good cleaning. There were stains on my pillow case. Water would only get luke warm. Bathroom door had layers of dirt. The hotel could be amazing if it was cleaned and some minor updates were made. No onsite amenities. No coffee or water in the lobby. Staff was helpful and it was a great location by Albert Whitted park but I would not stay here again.

Old building that can use some updating. Very centrally located and staff was kind but the bathroom was moldy and musty

The hotel is in pretty old condition.

Wish they would keep up with the building. Obviously it is an old hotel, but that's not an excuse to not keep up with the place. The bed was uncomfortable, the room was not very clean. The shower faucet handles were not even connected to the wall. The sink didn't have a drain stopper. The wrefridgerator was not jice. And to clean the hallway they seemed to have just thrown some baby powder all over the carpet or something. Also, location is only good for those wanting to go clubbing. Do not expect to get any sleep at this hotel. Staff at front desk was nice, but I never really saw anyone else. Not really sure who the cleaning crew was or anytbing.

Nice place in downtown St Pete. It's an older building, so you have to wait a little bit for the hot water in the shower - but they warn you about it.

Also, the hotel has roaches and isnt very cleanly. If you want a below average stay but great location, you can stay here. If you want nice with good service, avoid this place!! I personaly with never be back. Also, fyi....these are the same owners of the Galaxy Hotel down the street. Same story.

The hotel was the perfect distance from the race we were doing

Room and bathroom

Staff was very courteous

Old hotel with history but very limited on what they can do without ruining the integrity of its lineage. The price was in line with the deficiencies. Conveniently located to activities and old school charm. Enjoyed and would book again.

And at 6:30 a marathon race went right by the corner of our hotel lol

Great time!

This place was terrible to stay at. I highly do not recommend it. The room was extremely small. The showers were extremely small. The construction in the bathroom look like it was done by a five-year-old. The water never got hot and it looks like they may have ran out of water at one point Not worth the price. The hallway floors look extremely uneven. For a few extra bucks, you can go to another place.

More than 1 night may be a little tough at this hotel.

We enjoyed our one night's stay at a reasonable price at this nostalgic hotel and with so many restaurants in walking distance downtown.

Room was not updated I was charged extra and still have not got refunded there was no parking staff was nice but rooms not clean nor up to date had to run shower 2 minutes before using

Great location and unique decor for an affordable stay

The last maintenance was in 1800... great location, friendly staff but we felt like in those Halloween movie buildings. And the information they provide about the Parking didn't mentioned that at 5am I'll be charged as a new day (arrived at 10pm and left at 11am, paid almost $40)

Yes, nice rooms,clean too

The ac is horrendously loud.it kept me up entire night. The sink wasxnot clean, there was hair ans soap imprints on it. The drain was missing cover. It was a nasty experience

A/C was a bit noisy but worked well. TV was very small...I had to sit right in front of it to read the guide. Also no parking at the hotel so we had to use a parking garage 2 blocks away. A 2 night stay cost $60 to park.

No one answered the phone at the front desk when I was having an issue knowing where to park (the hotel has NO load-in area, FYI). The location is great, but that's the only thing good about this hotel. Our bathroom door wouldn't shut properly, there was no rack to hang your hand towel by the sink... It's really just a place to sleep, nothing more.

Staff was very nice and considerate

Cheap but kinda smelly

Always great staying here and it is very affordable! Staff is always super friendly shoutout to Morgan he was a delight!

They gave me a room with the bed over thrown and all the appliances everywhere had to walk down stairs to get a new one

just gross

I like the location and the old hotel. May not be for everyone, but it reminds me of European travel.

.

My husband and I had a great experience at this hotel! We were looking for a cheap hotel around And this room fit our budget. I asked for a non-smoking room with a good view. I was surprised to arrive in the room and it was very clean and very fragrant and a very beautiful view! The shower was small but with a very high pressure. The hotel is old but for those who are looking for an excellent location, low value and staying more outside than in the hotel this place is perfect! Parking is one block away and costs $16 a day.. but our total was $28. I highly recommend

Cleanliness and facilities could be better but for the price it was worth it. It’s a historical building. Eddie at the front desk was super nice. Will be back for another stay here!

Cockroaches!!!!

Room was clean, Staff super nice

This hotel is a historic landmark, it's 100 years old so it's more like a big house.

The hotel is very conveniently located. It's not the cleanest but I felt it was just right for the money especially for where it sits. It's next to the marina and lots of restaurants and bars. There is something for anyone in this area.

Clean room, great view of the nearby park. Love this location!

No parking on property and the garage recommended was not $9 for the night, but we we paid 15

The room and hotel were clean, BUT it’s very outdated. Very old furniture and you can hear everything from your room. We hardly slept because of the outside noise. We could hear the cars and music. The bed was very uncomfortable as well. I guess we got what we paid for.

good sport for hotel... near the pier and a lot of restaurants around the hotel

Location is great.But place is old,run down,ugly,dirty.room was awful actually one the worse places i ever stayed at. Sorry

Morgan was very helpful in check in and parking info.

Location is the best spot in St Pete you could walk to any restaurant you want walk down to the pier great location friendly staff in the hotel

Great stay! Room was cold, front desk was fast check in. Clean room no noise. The only thing I didn’t like was the parking. You had to park in the garage across the street. And it was event parking they charged 10 then I had to pay another 8 in the morning when I left

Beautiful property! Friendly staff!

Parking is offsite, but nearby at 10$/day

Nice place especially for the area and price

Clean to the standard of a 3 star hotel I guess. Did not have warm water, even when instructed to leave it running for 1-2 minutes to heat up - warm water never came...Incredibly loud at night, neighbor across the hall must have woken up the entire floor banging around from 1-4 am - think they ended up getting kicked out but tool WAY too long for this to happen. Also my deposit was fraudulently taken and not returned - had to go through AMEX to get it back

Needed to rest and I did

Great hotel at affordable price! 1922 old Florida hotel with original hardwood floors. Not fancy but clean and in a great location. I would certainly stay there again!

I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The cleanliness was very poor. The towels clearly had not been washed from the previous guest, as there were multiple hairs stuck between the folds of several towels. On top of that, the noise level is unbearable. The floor literally vibrates from the music in the bar below, so don’t plan on sleeping until all the bars in the area finally close. To make things worse, the Wi-Fi is practically unusable. Short videos won’t even load on YouTube. Overall, not worth the stay.

When I arrived to check in, there was not an employee to be found anywhere, and no-one answered the phone when i stood there calling. Apparently the front desk clerk left before their replacement showed up. Then the replacement Showed up extremely late for his shift. From entering the hotel to finally getting into my room took well over an hour. The one elevator they have was out of service. The wood floor in our room was a very unsettling combination of simultaneously feeling both slightly and sticky and slimy. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable. When we left in the morning, Mr late to work was behind the front desk with his bare discusting feet propped up on the counter giving us a farewell view of the dirty soles of his feet. Bottom line is this hotel brings further shame to the reputation of 14th century Spanish conquistadors I would not go back there even if the room was free. For perspective...This is first time I have ever been compelled to leave an online review of this nature.

All was good Very friendly

It was cool. Kinda pricey for what it's worth. The elevator was super slow. They charge you for using necessities

The bed was very comfortable

not a place I’d recommend to anyone

Overall good experience!

Pleasant surprise to find a private balcony upon entry! Lucky us !!!

The shower doesn’t run hot water.

We like the location but given that this hotel is much older building it has a very musty smell especially in the room

The hotel was a ok the area amazing that's all but they charge me 100 dollar deposit no haven't return my deposit yeah

Walls are thin and street noise was loud. Toilet never flushed properly. Friendly staff. It’s not updated but TV and AC worked and good water pressure in shower

Great place to crash after a late night of partying!

If your looking for a great location that it is right in downtown and close to St.pete Pier. Shower was cold and the cleaning staff could do a better job at cleaning the shower.

When we first check in the blanket had a stains of blood we called the front desk they move us to 402 and the water didn't have no pressure the floors were dirty we asked for paper toilet paper and we didn't get paper until Sunday evening every time that I talk to somebody and they concierge they were nasty and rude

I love this boutique hotel which is in heart of St Pete and affordable and very cute. Staff are always freindly!

Location

Budget friendly

Dirty room, dirty bathroom with hair all over the shower floor, horrible bed and plus was a rolling bed so the bed moves always.

I was told by the front desk staff that this was an old hotel. He asked me what did I expect about the property? The front desk staff was dismissive and rude. I politely notified them each time that the Wi-Fi went out and the cable went out. Also even after I notified them several times that my room had not been cleaned my room still wasn't cleaned on any of the nights even when I put a sign outside of my door every single day to request that the room be cleaned by housekeeping. The location of the hotel is in a great area which is conveniently located by many restaurants and a short walk to the Salvador Dali Museum! The hotel bedroom was a good size and aside from that I loved the area in which the hotel was located at but the lack of customer service and the lack of cleanliness at the hotel left many things to be desired

The staff were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that a colleague’s room was bug-infested and he asked to be moved in the middle of the night. My room was comfortable, but the area rug was a bit dingy.

Cheap for the area, one night stay after show at Straz and fantastic dinner at Fortu next door

The rooms were so small you couldn't have one small chair. No dresser. TV didn't work (mgr. couldn't fix) No updates to rooms EVER.

Perfect location for food, drinks and dancing. Old hotel though

Horrible, never again!

I liked the location for walking to so many great places. My room was larger than i remember from oast visits. The off site parking thst was reccomended across the streert was very good.

Don't let the good reviews fool you. It's a great convenient location, but the hotel is in poor shape. The standard room was not very clean, there were holes on the walls and the room door. The bed felt like a hammock and there was no hot water in the shower, only in the sink. There was a musky moldy odor in the room. The A/C unit was noisy. There's no on site parking and parking in a garage is tricky and expensive. Your best option is to park on the street and use the meters in your advantage. We only use the room to sleep and shower so it was tolerable for a couple of nights, but I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay.

If you understand that this hotel is rather old, it is okay for a night. There are bars downstairs with outside seating. The bars close at 3am and that’s when you can fall asleep. The water pressure was lacking something fierce. It felt like a sprinkler with a kink in the hose. The staff was great! I don’t think I’d stay again because of the noise and the room feel.

There seemed to be an event in the area which made parking a bit of a hassle. Everything else was wonderful

AC is not efficient. Very noise room - you can hear everything what is going on outside, club music, people talking, cars, specially during the night. The location is great.

4th time ive stayed. I love this hotel.

Great place

A nice old hotel in main street of St Pete dowtown. Bedroom was good. Parking was in front for a decent extra pice. 10 dollars a night. Great front desk. Good wifi.

Was put on the 3rd floor. The carpeting was disgusting and smelled in the hallway. Had to change rooms twice. First room, no fridge and phone didn't work. Second room the AC could not cool the room down. No microwaves in any rooms. Next day went out for breakfast only to return and my room card would not unlock the door. After two trips to the front desk, the person working had to use his master card to open the door. After returning from dinner was my room card re-keyed and finally worked. I feel like since I used Expedia which provided a lower room rate, they put those of us on a crappy floor or in rooms with zero view. My view was the backside of the building next door. Great location in the downtown area, but that was just about it for my stay. Rooms clean, but tiny bathrooms.

Before even entering the property, I could tell that I had made a mistake. This is a One-Star Property, not Three-Star. In fact two stars even would even be laughable. There was no clear sign for the where the entrance was, and then a landscaper pointed me to a random door that could have been an entrance to anywhere. I opened it and the front desk person immediately knew who I was and was being quite weird about, saying “I was hoping you’d come early so I can now go take a nap,” which is not very professional. The room had a very dirty wooden floor, so I did not dare take off my shoes off. The water from the sink was barely functioning and the bed sheets and towels still had stains and even hair on them from prior visitors. I did not even consider getting into the shower, which was clearly not cleaned. Half the windows were cracked and at night I could not sleep because of the noise of the A/C unit, which was still barely functioning. I just prayed there were no bed bugs with how dirty the sheets were. There was nobody available to change them when I went to the lobby at night. There was a TV but it was angled away from the bed in the corner, so you could barely see the screen unless you were sitting on the floor. You also needed an Apple TV subscription to watch. Felt uncomfortable leaving the room because there was also no safe. Not an understatement when I say it’s the worst hotel I’ve stayed in in my life.

Great front desk service but rooms were weird. The floors are slanted, beds are squeaky and uncomfortable. It is loud noisy due to road and ac unit in room

There is nothing botique aboit thos place. Its dirty and the desk man was slumped in the chair when we walked in. No pool, the bar downstairs has rude staff. The location is great thought. You will he walking distance to almost anything downtown

The oldest hotel DT so I knew it would be dated, it was perfect for our stay!

2. The lady in male throughout my stay did not acknowledge nor address me like a other hotels they nod and say hello at least. 3. The hotel is historic AKA very very very old.. decrepit. The rooms do not have a microwave. The building has one microwave which is on the second floor. 4. The bathroom gets a one star. It's tiny. I'm not a large person by any means and I think it was tiny. Probably the size of a closet. 5. The strip that it was on was very busy and bustling. That being said Thursday through Saturday was loud. It's a club scene. Lots of music lots of people standing outside in lines. 6. Zero parking. You have to park across the street or find a parking garage which I was told would be $9 a day. However if you're coming back to the hotel to sleep you're then considered overnight which then is a double charge. I spent a lot of money on parking due to this. I definitely would not stay here again and I do not recommend anyone else to stay here.

Check in lady was nice and was able to get in earlier however was told to park across the street in the garage and parking would be $10 but instead it was $15. Not a big deal but should be noted. Room was very warm and had a strange smell but was clean. Went out and surrounding area was great lots of options to eat and explore. Came back and found cockroach in our bathroom. Overall location fantastic, but needs to be updated and cleaned up before returning.

Old hotel with old rooms. Bad mattress & pillows! Tiny bathroom & shower. We won’t be staying there again!

The location is great but the hotel is very old and the rooms are not nice at all and the smell coming from the shower drain was horrible. Don’t go there.

Stay was okay. Attached to a bar and the music and patrons could be loud. It’s more a “quaint” and “historic” kind of vibe. It’s older and not very updated. Takes a while for the rooms to cool down. Is in a good location and had a cool view. Elevator was broken.

This was a charming hotel in an excellent spot. We had views of Tampa Bay and downtown St. Pete both to enjoy. It was a historic building, with high ceilings, art deco, picture rail moldings. The staff were friendly and helpful, even getting me a glass of ice from the neighboring restaurant when the ice maker was down. Super easy access to restaurants and a divine coffee shop 1 block away.

No complaints it’s definitely a little dated, but didn’t care. We loved the location and the price of the hotel room. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

Excellent location. Historic building but in need of renovation.

I had a good stay. It's sad this beautiful historical hotel gets such bad reviews. Amazing location. The only problem is that they need to do some maintenance. I dunno what is going on with that place is it under new management and they're trying to fix up old stuff or has no one cared for this wonderful piece of history for the last 20 years.

Smelly, old, dirty and bugs in bathroom. I will say no more!

Staff was super friendly however we checked in a little later in the day and the room key given to use was for a room already occupied. So i walked in on someones very intimate moment. This was quite devastating for all parties.

Plus: near the pier, close to restaurants in walking distance, 2 blocks from publix, museums. Downside: no on-site parking or breakfast

Loved the classic feel of the building. Shower was goofy and got water everywhere but oh well. I had a balcony which was fun. All in all a pleasant stay.

We had ants in the furniture of the room.

Ahmed was very friendly, helpful, and pleasant. He always greeted me and asked if I needed anything. I heard him greeting other guests as well. Even though the accommodations were fairly comfortable, some updates could be done to the rooms and offering a continental breakfast & coffee would be appreciated🙂

The staff was really nice, but even though they changed my room, the showers were not up to standard

Its an older hotel with a lot of character. Our main front staff guy with the ice blue eyes, was so funny, fun to, talk to, and took care of all our needs.

Staff is welcoming, and responsive. This is an old, historic building, so if you appreciate the value, location, and staff, then the shortcomings of a slow elevator, less than sparkling clean bathrooms, and slow hot water are acceptable. Being able to walk to the downtown area, or jump on the trolley are big plusses. The value is exceptional. See y'all again soon!

Older building, room was not ready past check in time. Walls are pretty thin.

The building is old but they have done a nice job. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is fantastic and within walking distance of almost anything you would want to do in downtown St Pete. We would definitely stay there again.

The perfumes used in the air cleaner are a bit strong. For those of us that suffer migraines it is a trigger. Other than that the place was great

For the money we paid it was fantastic!

Great area lots to do nice enough hotel not great water pressure the staff were very nice

Awesome area lots to do nice enough hotel just need to bump up the water pressure 🙏staff were awesome friendly and helpful ✅

Location and friendly staff

The hotel should compensate for the parking since we have to walk from a public parking facility with bags. If I knew I would of packed lighter or dropped stuff off at the front first

The front desk was awesome, he was kind and helpful

Would have liked tissues in the room.

No parking for customers. Remote didn’t work, so no TV. Tv was a big as my computer monitor . Too much noise from surrounding rooms and foot steps from room above. Room was very outdated. Not enough toiletries. No maintenance to fix TV issue. Would never return or recommend. Pictures on website are really a fraud. We could’ve gone to the Hyatt for $23 dollars more and have better service and even parking.

The elevator was broken, they did call and tell us before our stay. The night staff wasn’t helpful when we check in after having driven 20+ hours. But the room was clean until I plugged my phone charger in and then was swarmed by ants from the outlet. Other than that the view was stunning, the ac worked wonderfully!

Needs to be renovated. Great location for walking to everything

Old hotel with small rooms. Elevator was out of service. Had to walk u fire exit. Bathroom had some visible mold

We did not stay at the hotel. When we arrived at about 10pm we were advised that we had rooms in the 3rd and 4th floor and the elevator was not working. I can understand the dilemma but what I cannot understand is why neither Expedia nor I were advised of the problem earlier so we could have made other arrangements. Fortunately we found a hotel that was able to accommodate us although at a higher price. Not the best experience.

Great location

Very nice clean new

Walking to shops and restaurants is easy, and the short walk along the water to the Pier is delightful. The staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean. I hope I can return.

Elevator was broke, had to walk up and down 6 stories every time. Hot water didnt work veryvwell, low water pressure.

Friendly front desk staff. The only issue was the elevator was broken and our room was on the fourth floor. My friend and I were struggling to get our cooler up the stairs. We made it to the second floor and one of the house attendants swa us struggling. She grabbed the cooler from us and hauled it up we will be back

Amazing location. Seriously. The hotel is a little shabby, but not terrible. Just the basics, no breakfast or anything, which is fine given the access to restaurants. There was an overpowering smell of cleaning products in the room, however. Enough to make me reconsider staying there again.

NA

The guy at the front Desk was very polite and welcoming. I believe his name was Ahmed. He said it was his 2nd day. He was great! The parking situation sucks but it's not their fault, that's just St. Pete in general. The elevator was not working so using the stairs wasn't my favorite part of the stay. We will stay for an overnight trip but maybe not for a weekend. The bed was older feeling, bouncy, and my wife and I were rolling into each other due to the valley in the middle of the mattress. The smoke detector was covered in a bag so if there was a problem we may not have known. Other than that, the staff was awesome, the room was exactly what we needed for an overnight stay. We could stay again, if the elevator worked.

Arrived an elevator was out of service. Never notified prior to arrival about the elevator. Too late to book another room because I had to go straight to wedding rehearsal. Had to climb 2 flights of stairs with heavy luggage and no one offered to help. Terrible service and I will never return

This is a very old hotel, and the rooms are small, but you can't beat the location. Perfect.

The front desk staff was rude and unhelpful. Our room was on the top floor and the elevator was broken.

When we arrived found out that the sole elevator in the hotel had been out of order for ten days and had no idea when it would be working. We had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. If we had known in advance, we would have sought alternatives. There was a Hampton Inn around the corner. An alternative was offered by decided to stay due to its convenient location to where we planned to go.
