Top Tampa Bay Hotel Reviews

Avalon Hotel Downtown St. Petersburg

8/10 Good

"It's an older hotel with a nice, cozy feel. The hotel is well maintained. The room was rather small. The parking lot is not paved and can be difficult to find a space."

The Inn on Third

10/10 Excellent

"Inn is a lovely 20-room inn. Greeted and warmly treated by the innkeeper, who maintains the property very nicely. Room is a bit small, but perfectly fine for a night or two in St. Petersburg. Comfortable and clean. Added benefits include a light breakfast, and 5:00 social hour (free wine & beer). Downtown location near restaurants, pier, Trop Field, and others. Not sure I would want to roam around at night, but daytime is fine. Overall, a very nice inn with a personable, local, knowledgeable host."

Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown

8/10 Good

"very hard to locate originally/poor = hidden signage. Room clean but at bit dated. Parking safe and adequate. Staff was great = breakfast very good-many choices and help was right on top as things needed to be refilled. Didn't use the bar or restaurant so I can't comment on them. The pool was old and needed attention and was never in the sun. Finally, this was the first time that I was a victim of theft in my own room -there was a safe which I failed to use so I have to accept some of the blame. But, whoever got in, did steal my costume jewelry along with about $100 in cash. I didn't file a claim or complaint because I should have place the items in the safe . Lesson learned!"
