Friendly staff, incredible location. Great value.

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!

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

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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 Room was very outdated.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.

Could’ve been better but I’ve had worse!

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!

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.
