Great location within downtown St. Pete. Everything was walkable and it’s close to restaurants, bars, Jannus live and the pier. Parking isn’t included though, you must go to a parking garage but that isn’t a big issue since it’s in downtown. Cleanliness and facilities could be better but for the price it was worth it. It’s a historical building. Eddie at the front desk was super nice. Will be back for another stay here!

A pleasant experience

The hotel had the basic necessities. Ahmed was very friendly, helpful, and pleasant. He always greeted me and asked if I needed anything. I heard him greeting other guests as well. Even though the accommodations were fairly comfortable, some updates could be done to the rooms and offering a continental breakfast & coffee would be appreciated🙂

One night stay

Stay was okay. Attached to a bar and the music and patrons could be loud. It’s more a “quaint” and “historic” kind of vibe. It’s older and not very updated. Takes a while for the rooms to cool down. Is in a good location and had a cool view. Elevator was broken.
