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.
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🙂

The staff was really nice, but even though they changed my room, the showers were not up to standard
Its an older hotel with a lot of character. Our main front staff guy with the ice blue eyes, was so funny, fun to, talk to, and took care of all our needs.

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!

Older building, room was not ready past check in time. Walls are pretty thin.
The building is old but they have done a nice job. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is fantastic and within walking distance of almost anything you would want to do in downtown St Pete. We would definitely stay there again.
The hotel should compensate for the parking since we have to walk from a public parking facility with bags. If I knew I would of packed lighter or dropped stuff off at the front first

The front desk was awesome, he was kind and helpful
No parking for customers. Remote didn’t work, so no TV. Tv was a big as my computer monitor . Too much noise from surrounding rooms and foot steps from room above. Room was very outdated. Not enough toiletries. No maintenance to fix TV issue. Would never return or recommend. Pictures on website are really a fraud. We could’ve gone to the Hyatt for $23 dollars more and have better service and even parking.
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!
