Historic property in a great location

Historic property in a great location. Large comfortable room. Reception was friendly and helpful. Thought the prices were comparable to others in the area. We could walk everywhere we wanted to in St. Pete and boy did we walk. My only criticism would be there was no breakfast available. The hotel had 3 floors and no elevator which I could see as problematic for some guests. We would consider staying here again.

Nice hotel but construction next door

Hotel was nice and very clean , but there was construction of their new hotel expansion next to us and the view was not nice. While it's a historic hotel the bathtub was difficult to get in because is antique. I also wish they had a morning coffee and pastries in the morning . Nice place though.

Great hotel, lousy customer service

Great location and happy with room. Hotel staff did a good job, but customer service after is horrible. Parking is supposed to be included. We were billed by the garage for parking. I have called (got voicemail), I sent an email to the hotel, I sent an email to Hotels.com and I sent a txt. No reply on any. Mistakes happen, but it’s hard to go back when you feel like you’re ignored. Beware.

Poor customer service. We had a family emergency come up after hours and we could not get anyone to return our phone calls the next day or respond to our emails. The bathroom was too small, the room was hot, and we could not find an elevator and could not find anywhere stating there was not an elevator.

We were I town for the Tampa Bay Blues fest. We checked in the afternoon and went to the festival in the Florida heat. Got back in the around 11 pm to find the shower didn't work and the sink barely drained. There was sharp broken tile on the bathroom floor and my wife cut her foot. After being outdoors all day, we badly needed a shower. We were unable to reach anyone about this. The front desk is unreachable by phone. Hotel rooms were scarce due to the blues fest. We were very fortunate to find a room at s much better hotel WITH A SHOWER. We have stayed at the Cordova Inn 3 times in the past. We will never go back.

The property is an old hotel, which is quite quaint. They have a coffee/liqueur bar in the lobby that attracts youngish folks. The room was a nice size, although the bathroom was small, typical of an old hotel. It had a claw-foot bath tub. There was very low water pressure at the bathroom sink and absolutely no hot water. The complimentary parking is in a garage about a block and a half from the hotel.

The property is in the process of renovation. All windows were blocked. It doesn't provide any housekeeping, and you have yo take out your own trash.

This property was built in 1912... before elevators and central AC was thing...wink, wink. The 3 flights of stairs weren't as daunting after we lugged the luggage up them and the AC wall unit kept it pretty cold. They are expanding and I'm sure the newer section will have all the modern bells and whistles. Parking is around the corner, but it is free for hotel guests...so there's the win there. Would I stay again? Yes! The price was right, the property's cute with a nice vibe, the staff was wonderful, and the location is in the heart of a bustling night life that's extremely walkable. Enjoy!!

Charming boutique, historic hotel. Rooms are updated in an art deco style with a mix of antiques and stylish decor. Location is ideal, just a few blocks from the restaurants and shops on the bay. 10-15 minute walk to the Dali Museum.

Very nice staff, good location, and overall cute property. Beds were very uncomfortable and blinds did not cover the window spaces, so it was bright early.
