The bed was very comfortable and new. The location was the best feature: right close to the t Pete Yacht Club and the main restraurant row. The shower was tile, but the water lacked strong pressure. The price was great, even during busy season (January-Feb), so I'll definitely stay here again!

The outstanding location is the main advantage of this old boutique hotel, and the staff is very friendly—especially Mahmut. However, please be aware that the building shows its age. There is only one slow elevator, and the rooms are dated and in need of restoration.

Great location close to everything. Very old hotel, however clean and comfy. No frills at all, and parking is the main killer, you have to park in two walking distance garages, thankfully it was not raining. Pack light!

The room was okay, the location of the hotel was what we needed. -The staff was very friendly -Two nights was about $364 -Very easy to walk to shops and restuarants - There is no onsite parking, we parked in a parking garage about a half block away -The hotel was old, very dated rooms -Not dirty, but not sure if the staff cleaned well either -There were black hairs on the bathroom walls -Stuff on the floor, like it was not swept well -There was no hot water in the second bathroom, they had a sign saying let the water run, but the water was still cool in the shower

Musty rooms, no working toilet, no running water. No water? How are you even allowed to operate as a hotel?? Upon checkout, front desk said they "made a note" and not much they could do, and to call back later... like what??? Also, couldnt even print or email a copy of said note to dispute with later, and then they didnt have a name of the person to call and speak to if you wanted. Absolute disaster of a place.
