Love the small independent family hotel that is personal ! Quick early check in from the son of the owners - very cute ! The hotel is 20 rooms ; free parking inc continental bfast in the best western / Hampton inn style in the lobby . Reminds me of a B&B in England ! Great location - very quiet but walking distance to the action on Central Avenue . Room is adequate - ok size with dressing table and desk - double bed / side tables . AC and TV . Attached bath - maybe 7x5 - not very large but adequate . For one night and the money it was worth it ! Furniture is antique - I liked the old world . Yes baseboard is a bit chipped but we didn’t care . Room for improvement ; free bottled water ? Liked having the mini fridge .

Building is very interesting structure that has been a part of St. Petersburg for almost 100 years. It is a weil maintained building. Reminds me of the boarding houses that are in old movies. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the complementary beer in evening and breakfast in the common area. It was apparent that the owner is proud of his motel. We were staying there due to activities at our home in Seminole. As a 40 year resident of the area, we have an interest in the history of “old” structures in St. Petersburg. It is nice that a place like the Inn on 3rd Ave is still here and going strong. Highly recommend this place to stay.
