Friendly staff, incredible location. Great value.
Staff is welcoming, and responsive. This is an old, historic building, so if you appreciate the value, location, and staff, then the shortcomings of a slow elevator, less than sparkling clean bathrooms, and slow hot water are acceptable. Being able to walk to the downtown area, or jump on the trolley are big plusses. The value is exceptional. See y'all again soon!

Friend-cation
Loved the classic feel of the building. Shower was goofy and got water everywhere but oh well. I had a balcony which was fun. All in all a pleasant stay.

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🙂

It was ok for a couple of days. Location is excellent but facilities need a face lift to look more clean. Not a bad experience.

Historic Boutique hotel in a great location
I quite enjoyed my stay. It's in a great location. Walking distance to most places if interest. Parking is in a parking garage across the hotel which was quite safe and affordable considering the location. Although you can find free parking spot between 8PM to 9AM in front or across the hotel if you're lucky and on a limited time.

Could’ve been better but I’ve had worse!
The elevator was broken, they did call and tell us before our stay. The night staff wasn’t helpful when we check in after having driven 20+ hours. But the room was clean until I plugged my phone charger in and then was swarmed by ants from the outlet. Other than that the view was stunning, the ac worked wonderfully!

Cheap St. Pete Option
A cool old hotel that has not been well-maintained or updated well. There was hot water, clean sheets and the door locked. A great cheap option for St. Pete. Close to all the fun restaurants and bars.

Old world charm
Was traveling to do college tours for my child. Looking for a nice clean hotel on a budget for 1 night. I gave this place a chance and so glad i did. It is clean and cute. It feels like home. It's a historic hotel so not modern but will stay with them again any time i am that way.

This is a old hotel in downtown area. One day its going to be gone, downtown changing and growing. Sad, but its progress. Basic older hotet...Mr. Morgan, night front desk gentleman, was cool, tell you how is it, but always welling to help. Let see, what the new owner/management do in the furture. Great location for ST.P GP Indy car race

Great location
The Hotel is older, but had everything we needed in terms of location. The room was clean, but there was no soap bars in the bathroom. The staff is excellent and helpful. The Hotel is in dire need of upgrades. OVERALL A 7 OUT OF 10.
