Staff is friendly. Location is great. There is a night club at the bottom of the building outside which makes for a lot of noise from the music and people until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays

The property is in a very convenient location, the staff were helpful and the room was very clean. It would’ve been nice to be able to check in sooner than 4 PM which left us a bit short on time. It would’ve also been nice for the coffee bar in the lobby to be open for business while we were waiting for our room to be ready.

There is a reason this hotel rates in the 3-star range. Definitely a historic building, but not kept up all that well. Rooms are very basic, cracks in walls and ceilings, and for rooms facing the street, no sound insulation at all. Location is great and the staff I worked with were super willing to help if asked. If you go, take shower items; you'll want your own.

Downside: The room itself was small, musty, and took 10 minutes for the shower to heat up. My room had no information about the wifi, local areas or eateries, or if the water/soda in the fridge cost anything.
Upside: The staff were wonderful and kind. The room was quiet and comfortable.

If you don't mind a well worn hotel and a luke warm shower in the best location in St. Pete for the lowest price, this is the place. Very pleasant staff too.
