Easy to get to the property. Valet parking is available which we took advantage of. Many restaurants, shops, museums, parks, venues within walking distance. It was very noisy on Friday and Saturday nights which made it difficult to sleep. But if you're here to party and stay out late, you'll have a fantastic time. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel but loud music

I waited a very long time for valet parking and then had to wait again for someone to show up to check me in, but other than that, the hotel is very nice. The only reason I would not stay here again was the loud music from the restaurant. It was so loud that at times it would vibrate the bed and it prevented me from getting to sleep until after midnight.

Great small hotel in perfect location facing the bay, convenient to restaurants, museums, etc. yet also very quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful with any questions. Fastest valet parking service I've ever seen. Would definitely stay again if returning to ST. Pete. Roger

Perfect location on Beach Drive for the Grand Prix. Spacious room, especially for an older hotel. Walking distance to all the great restaurants. Hotel staff was so pleasant and accommodating. We hope to be able to secure a room here again next year for the race. The only down side is that with the bar down stairs and rooftop bar upstairs, it can be a bit noisy at night, but nothing ear plugs can’t help with.
