My stay was not what I had hoped for. I checked in Thursday evening and had planned to stay until Sunday, but I decided to leave early on Saturday morning. While I appreciate the historic charm of the building, the accommodations fell short of expectations. The room was uncomfortable — the bed lacked support, the linens felt rough, and only one towel was provided. The garden tub appeared appealing at first glance, but once in use, it was uneven and felt unstable, which raised safety concerns. The one highlight of my stay was the coffee, which was very good. Overall, however, the experience did not meet the standard I anticipated.

This was a great location and walking distance from good restaurants. They had a great bar, The Scott. Both bartenders were great! However, the check-in staff was not great. Both were unprofessional and rude. I didn't have a positive interaction with either. Cleanliness was so so. I split my water in the room and mopped it up with a towel. The towel came back brown...

Cordova Inn Near Jannus Live

Parking free in a garage around the corner, just enter your tag in the iPad at the front desk and you get validated. Room was a bit older, cracks in our sink and shower floor a bit worn but bed comfortable enough, mini fridge and microwave handy. Super convenient to Jannus Live and downtown nightlife, tons of restaurants and bars around!

I love boutique hotels, but...

I enjoy boutique hotels with their quirks and imperfections -it's part of the charm. I also want to stress that this review has nothing to do with the current expansion construction occurring at the property. I have stayed at the Cordova previously and thought I understood what I was in for during the stay. The room was clean and tidy; however the remainder of the amenities were rubbish. The upstairs portion of the building does not have central HVAC, so they had fans all over the place to move the very humid air around. The rooms have window AC units, but they are old and no match for the humid Florida summers. There was a ceiling fan and auxiliary fan in the room, which made it tolerable and, in the evenings, easier to sleep. What made the stay unbearable was the bathroom. I cannot express how impossibly small the bathroom is and to use the toilet, which was merely inches from the sink, one had to snake into an S-curve to have a chance, and all the while have the sink directly in your face. The shower was barely large enough for a grown man and the water pressure was nil. I want to stress this -the water pressure was almost zero and the water temperature was either scaling or freezing -nothing in between. I resorted to lathering up in the sink and washing up with a washcloth. We have previously enjoyed staying at the Cordova, but it seems that the property owners are putting everything into their new expansion and letting the historic part of the building go to pot.
