The Cordova Inn is a historic hotel, 3 floors, staff friendly, accommodations unique. Room was clean. Be aware that there are 3 different bathroom styles. We had a claw foot tub with a shower and it was difficult to get in and out of the tub. Small bathroom. Other bathrooms either have a walkin shower or shorter tub. Also, construction next door, which was loud starting about 7am.

Not a Friendly hotel
Service was so so. I felt that we were being looked down on because we did not dress up and because we had a motorcycle. Also, I was woken up at 1:30am due to construction and couldn't go back to sleep. We cut our stay short because of these reasons.

Beautiful hotel. Bit of building work going on, so not much of a view, but the room was lovely, the hotel lobby area is really nice and it's in a nice area...short walk to the pier area. Only criticism is that the bath in the room was very difficult to get out of. It needs a mat or something. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. If I ever visit the area again, I will be looking at this hotel.

Great location in historic hotel
Cordova Inn was a great experience for us with spacious rooms, historic charm and super location within walking distance to St. Pete Pier. Staff was very friendly, parking convenient and the local bar added life to the lobby and front porch.

As so many others mentioned happened to them, I was told parking was complimentary. It was NOT. When I called to question the $68 charge on my bill, the manager HUNG UP ON ME. Yeh, left a real bad taste in my mouth. What a shame, cuz I liked the place. Oh, and sink didn’t really work.

I found the Hotel policy of the front desk closing at 6pm and opening at 10 am deplorable. Those are the only hours guests are not around. If you need help, and I did, after 6pm you are out of luck. Th hotel provides a phone number with the ominous warning if you call after hours make sure it is a real emergency. Guess what? Guests at almost every other hotel in the world have a front desk in which to ask simple questions of but not at Cordova, They want to only hear from you if it was an emergency. Complying with their request I did not have internet during my stay. Complicating my trip immensely. I will not stay there again.
