The property is quirky and has great character. And the location cannot be beat. Unfortunately, the elevator is out and instead of putting people on lower floors, we had to walk up and down five flights on a very tight, winding staircase. Once in the room, the shower had very minimal water pressure, making it very difficult to wash my hair. Honestly, the hotel has a lot of potential. But as it is, it was fine for one night, but I would not recommend it and would not return.

Awful experience.

Old hotel. No sound proofing in rooms at all--noise from outside and inside easily heard. Had to call front desk at 2 am due to constant stomping and moving of furniture in room above us. There was a power outage and our room keys needed resetting--but front desk said their machine was not working and they would need to come up to let us in. I gave room number and they promised to come up as soon as took care of a few customers checking in. We waited 15 minutes and no one showed. Sadly, I was able to simply unlock the door by sliding my key car through the door jam! Front desk never came up to check on us. Lastly, the room had a telephone which was non-working. And advertised restaurant next to hotel (Tapas restaurant) is closed and there are no signs anywhere informing customers.

Professional repairs needed

Planned a one week stay here in a Wednesday for the RRU Festival at Vinoy Park. The location and price was great, however the hotel itself is need of a lot of maintenance. I was nervous my window would fall out of the frame which on the sixth floor that wouldn't be good. The curtain mount came out of the wall just trying to open it.On Monday the power went out for an hour or so and blew up the elevator motor that still hadn't been fixed by the time I checked out. And my last day last two hours I take a shower to get ready and then the water stops, now full of soap and unable to rinse off I waited over an hour for it to come back on after a pipe leak on the second floor. Attitudes from employees except for one and her name was Ariana, thanks to her for being pleasent and welcoming. This place needs some work but it did the job, room was clean and bed was comfortable. Diagonal and direct view of Tampa Bay. The choice is yours 😉

Stay away from this hotel. The only positive thing is that the staff was really nice and helpful. Everything is wrong with the hotel: the only elevator on site didn't work, the room was dirty, and the bed cover had stains (please let's not speculate on what they were). The bathroom was tiny and didn't even had a place in which you were able to put your things (not even a shelf). They have no parking on site, no place to have breakfast etc. In short: stay away from it.
