The staff was amazing and the hotel overall was very cute and in an amazing walkable area, however the rooms did not match up to the photos/other reviews I had seen. Our ceiling fan and light didn't work. The wall AC unit was very noisy and the room heavily smelled like mold. Ended up having to check out a day early.

The check-in process was a nightmare. The gal that checked us in was the most unprofessional that I've come across in a long while. She was emphatic about the website says in bold print that there was no elevator. That is not true. Under a sub sub menu under a heading of Other things to know (in regular print). Also, this same check-inn gal stated that the parking lot next door was not for the hotel. If we parked there, we would either get a ticket or towed. It is, in fact, a public parking lot, so that was not true. The building is extremely old. The beds are terrible. the bathroom seemed to be clean but the only self in the bathroom was barely attached to the wall. When I used the toilet the handle just moved and there was NO flush. The gal that was on duty in the morning, was a peach of a person and very professional. She was a 5 star employee. That's why I gave them 2 stars. If I could give the check-in gal a negative, I would. As far as the lobby...One of the reasons I booked was because of the front covered porch. That was lovely. Also, there was a bar in the lobby. BUT, the tabletops were so extremely dirty. The floor had dried spots on the floor from spills that any of the employees ever bothered to clean. Needless to say we checked out a day early. I do not recommend.

Beautiful historic inn that has been refurbished and redecorated. The rooms are very spacious and clean. They have wood flooring, a nice bath with a clawfoot tub, and comfortable beds. It is air conditioned with window units that keep the rooms at a very comfortable, cool temperature, even on the 3rd floor. Just note that this inn has 3 floors, and no elevators, so if you have mobility issues, make sure to request a bed on the 1st level when you make your reservation. We didn't, and huffing and puffing up and down the stairs with heavy luggage was a bit difficult. There is a nice bar in the lobby area that serves coffee in the AM and cocktails in the pm hours. They close at 10 pm. Many really nice locals frequent the bar, and you can obtain a world of helpful information regarding the area and things to do and where to eat by sitting at the bar and engaging in a conversation. The bar tenders are very friendly and helpful, and make great drinks. Would definitely stay here again!

The rooms were very moldy smelling. There was a huge fan in there for AC the AC blue hot air. The beds were like futons the bathroom. You probably could’ve fit a half of a midget in there. I do not recommend this place.

Great location for downtown St Petersburg. Room was clean but the bed seemed like it was very old. Matress was broke down and very uncomfortable. We booked for two nights but only stayed one. I would definitely not recommend staying at this hotel.

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...
