"I LOVE this hotel and it is my go-to in St Pete. The lovely staff upgraded my room (due to my birthday), left a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge and gave me a coupon for an appetizer at their restaurant. It was one of the warmest welcomes I have ever received and the hotel has charming decor, excellent front desk staff, and easy location to find and park at. 10 Stars!!!"

8/10 Good
"I like to stay here because it is cheap and within walking distance of the beach. It has gotten run down through the years. I have stayed there approximately 4 times now. . The elevator is slow and hot. The ice machine on 5th floor doesn't work. The plug ins in the room wouldn't keep my charger plugged in by bed. Pros- cheap, nice, as an older woman staying by myself I felt safe even though it was slightly sketchy. They have you clean towels, coffee in lobby and staff is the best. If you are looking to go to the beach on a budget knowing you won't be in room much this is your spot!"
