Room had no hot water so they transferred me to their sister Hotel, The Exchange. The Exchange was legitimately the dirtiest, grossest place I have ever stayed. I slept in my clothes on the bed…

It was ok, but it was really loud and people were slamming doors shut all night. Also there is no parking so you have to pay another $40 to pay down the street. I would have chosen a place further away from downtown had I known this.

The room is cute but the bathroom is something else. Mold on the shower, no shelves, and it clearly hasn't been cleaned in a while. The room smells of mildew and stale air, I had to get a candle to cover the smell. The building is clearly old and there are some funny design choices. The staff is minimal but polite. The bartender at the tapas restaurant was rude but he also told me they are not associated with the hotel. Overall, you get what you pay for and this was a lower budget option with the perfect location.

It was our second time there…very disappointed…my child could have done a better turn down/clean up than the staff, the complimentary shampoo bottle was already half empty when we went to use them. Only one towel was provided. The tv/internet would constantly shut off. Very disappointed overall. The only positive was the front desk young lady, Brianna…she was friendly and very helpful! Will never go back for a third trip.

The bed was very comfortable and new. The location was the best feature: right close to the t Pete Yacht Club and the main restraurant row. The shower was tile, but the water lacked strong pressure. The price was great, even during busy season (January-Feb), so I'll definitely stay here again!

The rooms were serviceable with some nice aesthetics. Building has some twenties era wood floors that would look amazing if they were refinished but I don't know how they'd hold up to hotel traffic.

The stay was great up until the night before I checked out. A man, obviously a staff member tried to gain entry to my room around 11:00p.m. I had the deadbolt engaged so he couldn’t enter my room. This was very scary and I was clearly shaken and decided to leave at 4:00 a.m. in the morning. Needless to say I won’t be booking with them again.

When we arrived they told us we were on the 6th floor. Then they let us know the elevator was broken. So we had to walk 6 flights of stairs all weekend. I knew from reviews that hotel was dated. This does not bother me. But room did not feel clean. Floor was sticky, behind bed was caked with dust. We only got two towels. No one came and cleaned our room the next day. The only good thing I can say about the hotel is it is in a great location. But there was no relaxing and enjoying our room. Once we left for the day we didn't come back till bed time, as we didn't want to walk those stairs 4 times in one day.
