If you want a place near to Tropicana Field, and/or the nightlife of downtown St Pete this is the place. It is clean, excellent staff, and was quiet for our two night weekend stay. I would say it's up to Hilton standards. However, the room was fairly small (by many standards) and the shower floor was slippery when wet with one grab bar --- certainly dangerous for older folks. The cost of (necessary) valet parking is high ($40 per day) --- but the valet staff is at your service 12/7.

Pleasant and modern

The room and hotel were clean and quiet. I enjoyed some time on the roof top terrace. I parked in a nearby lot instead of using the valet parking. It costs less, and makes it easier to make trips to the car, but is a bit of a pain to renew if staying two nights.

Small rooms. Surprised there was a small fridge but no microwave. Appreciate the fact that animals are allowed but $75 pet fee seems a bit excessive. Otherwise a great location. Very friendly staff.

Hard for me to draw down on what I liked about this hotel. My college dorm room was better than this hotel room. The place was absolutely disgusting. Dirt, hair bodily fluids dried up on the floor. So guess they didn’t mop or sanitise the place. Bed linen clean but not ironed.

Great place to relax.

I think my visit to the check desk last 5 minutes. They had everything ready. We call ahead to see if we could get a room in the back of hotel away from Central Ave traffic noise. Our room over looked the pool. Restaurants all over the place great food. We walked the entire weekend to everything that we needed to do. We walked out one of the peers which was equivalently 2 1/2 miles walk, but it was a beautiful scenery all the way.
