Beautiful older hotel with nice views and features.
Clearly needs updating. The room I had was missing a blind on the window so let the sunlight in early in the morning (not great after a late night!) The shower is quite old and shower curtain had seen better days. The ceiling showed signs of previous leaks and cracks around the window. Appeared of the 1950’s era! The carpets were stained and looked well worn. The bed was quite uncomfortable, squeaky and very dated. My brother had a much better room with hardwood floors and a sofa bed that looked like it had been pulled out of dumpster! His shower was slightly more updated but not modern.

We have stayed here several times over the years and absolutely love the location. Our room appeared to have had some updating. It was definitely a nice improvement. Bed was much more comfortable . It is a great place to stay to enjoy a getaway weekend in downtown St. Pete.
The elevator is a little sketchy sounding like it could conk out at any time.The Latin club on the corner partied to the wee hours on a Friday night but obviously this is beyond the hotel’s control.

Loved the old hotel including the squeaky old-fashioned bed which was very comfortable. I found a very convenient parking garage just a block away on Central Ave which was distinguishable and easy to find and remember. The waterfront a couple of blocks away had cute shops and some eating ideas as well as Central, which is the main street through St. Pete. All in all, despite some rain, the stay was wonderful.
Needed a bedside lamp and plug in for cell phone.

It was very nice room I had a small balcony I love the bathroom great shower the TV was a little hard to get used to though because of how it was set up but overall I loved it can't wait to go back again
The only thing I can actually say that bother me was that I didn't have my room cleaned everyday but I know I booked it for 10 days but still every day you should come in at least clean the floors and you know maybe it's for the fact that I had the room so long but I still was looking for every day you coming at least you know give me a new towels but after I notify management then they will bring towels every day and do my trash

The hotel location was great. Affordable pricing. The room was small but what I expected. The bed was fine.
Not many amenities with the hotel. Bathroom was very small.

location is great. Previous comments made me nervous but I would stay there again. The hotel is old so certain things can't be helped. Room was clean, a/c was cold, bed was comfortable, price was right. Bathroom/shower small.

Location was perfect. Close to bars, restaurants, boardwalk and parks. Friendly and helpful staff.Building is art deco and beautiful, lots of character. No parking on-site but there was parking right across the street at a reasonable rate. If you don't mind that the rooms seem like the ones in your grandmother's house, it's a great way to stay downtown on a budget.
The interior of our room was a bit run down, furniture old and creaky. Bathroom fixtures outdated, room needed a coat of paint. If the rooms were updated, this would be a fabulous hotel (but would also probably be twice the rate).

The location for what we were in town for was perfect!!! lots of great restaurants and bars all in walking distance! location was fantastic!
The pictures on line were not accurate at all. I was surprised how different it was vs what was advertised, hotel catfish for sure. BUT still a good hotel. Just know it may not be the same as you see here.

1st time checking in, found many places such as nightclub/restraunts, arts, parks, wildlife (birds), musuems. The hotel itself was great 4 nights overall and all staffing members. Will most likely come back in the future time for the holidays i suppose.
Other than watching my favorite baseball team New York Yankees losing the series against Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana stadium, everything is great. 9/3.

Location is great as it's right in downtown, close to the Pier and Central Ave. Great solution for a 1-2 night stay
For a 1-2 night stay is a very good solution, but given that the hotel is from way back, it's expected for it to be on the tight space side in terms of the rooms and the bathroom. But, they keep it clean
