Very nice property with a friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable but no parking lot…valet only. Ten minute walk to Tropicana Field if going to a ballgame, plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely stay there again!

Great restaurant-Nobel Tavern-on 1st floor (crafted menu and super convenient). A convenient store is also on the 1st floor if you forget something or need a quick snack. A warm fresh morning breakfast (coffee, milk, juice and ice cream included) and no packaged foods! Ideal for all travelers and located in a safe and vibrant area of St Petersburg.

3 days of Breakfast
Pancakes under done
Juices all watered down everyday
No maid service at all
What would expect for over $300 per night that’s disgraceful if you ask me
Also, had I shown up 1 hr later than I did they were going to give my room away because of such a popular weekend. I booked in September 2025, even though I paid you $75 to hold my reservation. We did like all the people who served us during our stay every very friendly group. The area around hotel is great!

Rooms were very clean. Staff was very helpful. The only thing I can say is they need a microwave in the room, but that’s it. Everything else the room was excellent. I love the fact that they have a restaurant right with the hotel so when we went, it rained at night but we had the option of the hotel restaurant that was nice. Food was excellent. Also at the restaurant and Service was also excellent workers were very attentive to our needs. Definitely would recommend this hotel. It is a 10 star to me.
