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.

Historic Boutique hotel in a great location

I quite enjoyed my stay. It's in a great location. Walking distance to most places if interest. Parking is in a parking garage across the hotel which was quite safe and affordable considering the location. Although you can find free parking spot between 8PM to 9AM in front or across the hotel if you're lucky and on a limited time.

It's an older property that needs a bit of TLC. The elevator was out of order when we stayed there. Some paint peeling off the walls in the room, sink drained slowly and shower leaked a bit. They definitely need to get new mattresses. Ours was sagging a bit. Still, a nice, quaint little hotel in downtown St. Pete's at a reasonable price.

Great Location, but Old & Tired!

During a major event weekend (Indycar race), the elevator in this 6 story building did not work. Our room was on the 5th floor so going up and down a narrow service staircase was an ordeal. Hotel is turn of the century in a great location. However not much has changed. It's slated for rehab this year so hopefully it will update the old fixtures, throw away the worn, sticky carpeting, along with new bedding, furniture, etc. At least clean the HVAC filters in the rooms! As a side, the 2 restaurants on the street do a nice job.

Location nice but zero amenities

Not only no designated parking, no solutions for parking for guests. No elevator working, no ice machine, no hot water for showers or baths, and no functioning elevator and was assigned 6th floor room.
