This is my second stay at this beautiful Art Deco hotel. Walking to shops and restaurants is easy, and the short walk along the water to the Pier is delightful. The staff is friendly and helpful, rooms are clean. I hope I can return.

Friendly front desk staff. The only issue was the elevator was broken and our room was on the fourth floor. My friend and I were struggling to get our cooler up the stairs. We made it to the second floor and one of the house attendants swa us struggling. She grabbed the cooler from us and hauled it up we will be back

Amazing location. Seriously. The hotel is a little shabby, but not terrible. Just the basics, no breakfast or anything, which is fine given the access to restaurants. There was an overpowering smell of cleaning products in the room, however. Enough to make me reconsider staying there again.

The guy at the front Desk was very polite and welcoming. I believe his name was Ahmed. He said it was his 2nd day. He was great! The parking situation sucks but it's not their fault, that's just St. Pete in general. The elevator was not working so using the stairs wasn't my favorite part of the stay. We will stay for an overnight trip but maybe not for a weekend. The bed was older feeling, bouncy, and my wife and I were rolling into each other due to the valley in the middle of the mattress. The smoke detector was covered in a bag so if there was a problem we may not have known. Other than that, the staff was awesome, the room was exactly what we needed for an overnight stay. We could stay again, if the elevator worked.

Never again

Arrived an elevator was out of service. Never notified prior to arrival about the elevator. Too late to book another room because I had to go straight to wedding rehearsal. Had to climb 2 flights of stairs with heavy luggage and no one offered to help. Terrible service and I will never return

When we arrived found out that the sole elevator in the hotel had been out of order for ten days and had no idea when it would be working. We had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. If we had known in advance, we would have sought alternatives. There was a Hampton Inn around the corner. An alternative was offered by decided to stay due to its convenient location to where we planned to go.

Choose elsewhere to stay!! Parking is terrible, the elevator broken and had to take multiple trips up and down 5 flights of stairs because the key card would not work. Finally got into the room which was very small, the bed smelled musty, the water in the bathroom would not warm up and the windows were not properly sealed. Because of the issues getting into the room I was late for an appointment so promptly changed and left. Upon returning I informed the lady at the desk I wouldn't be staying to which she said she would write it down but couldn't give me anything showing I checked out and didn't stay. Just don't do it!

When we entered the hotel and went upstairs to our room the hallways were covered in a white powder that had not been cleaned up by the housekeeping. My hubby has COPD and congestive heart failure and because of this powder, he could barely breathe by the time we got to the room. We almost called 911 because he could not breathe.The hotel had a definite bad odor that I believe they were trying to cover up. All they offered to do is move us from one room to another. But that floor also had the powder throughout the hallways and in the rooms. It was a horrible experience overall, and we will not be back again. Also the beds were hard as a rock. You pay 15 dollars to park your vehicle because the hotel has no parking available.
