“What a Delight”

The warm atmosphere created by the hotel staff was inviting. The scheduled happy hour provided me an opportunity to interact with the hotel guests. I found myself casually conversing with them, many of whom regularly stay at the hotel. It was within walking distance of a number of restaurants and the pier. The entire trip was really quite delightful.

“You Can Find Better”

Average hotel in a cool part of town. Parking was a nightmare on Saturday night. The hotel lot doubles as a public parking lot and even though we paid for parking and had a parking pass the lot was completely full. We went in to inquire and they told us we would have to park on the street. The hotel has a lot of charm even though most of it is done through faux-aging. The room was a decent size. Staff was very friendly. Bed was somewhat uncomfortable.

“Will be back very soon”

Staff very friendly which made our stay very nice. Room clean and comfortable. Location is great, able to walk to the park, pier, etc. We were there to see a Rays game and the shuttle to the game a very short walk from the hotel. I would recommend this hotel and will be back very soon.

“Older place with character and great location”

Nice older hotel convenient to the pier, Fine Arts Museum, Downtown shopping mall and restaurants. A little rough around the edges, but reasonably priced with good service and a great location.

“A quaint city stay close to entertainment.”

We picked this hotel for a one-night staycation because it's close to attractions. We arrived late in the evening to a welcoming and cheery front desk attendant. Our 2nd floor room had amenities one would expect (fridge, cable tv, etc) but it also carried a light musty odor, which can be common in historical hotels. Upon mentioning, they kindly offered us a new room, but I was content with a quick spritz of deodorizer to neutralize it. There was no scenic view from our window (I recommend the larger suites). The hotel overall was quiet, which any possible noise was muffled by the AC window unit. I greatly enjoyed the complimentary light breakfast consisting of toast, english muffins, cereal, juice, fresh fruit and other items. We had our coffee on the veranda facing the unusually quiet street. This hotel is within walking distance to the Muvico, shopping and a few bistros and nice restaurants. There is a small city park adjacent to the hotel, that I strongly recommend not visiting, as there's not much to mention. Overall it was a positive experience.

Traveller's tip
The Dali Museum is a must see. I found St. Petersberg to be a quiet big city. We strolled the streets near the hotel on a weekend morning and did encounter many others. As for outside the city, I recommend visiting the national parks and walking to the pier. It's a romantic stroll.
