I had a very pleasant day here this past weekend. The Inn is a charming spot. Check-in was very easy. The room was clean and adequate for the short amount of time that I spent in there. The AC worked well. There were a variety of items for breakfast, and I found it to be just enough to satisfy my hunger in the morning. The staff/owners were very kind and helpful when I fell outside on the sidewalk (not in front, but down the road), and provided a first aid kit and ice packs.

Very nice. Furniture makes the rooms and lobby very ‘’Homey’ Rather than sleek and impersonally modern. Breakfast was varied with cereals, pastries, hard cooked eggs, etc. Good hot coffee and all on real dishes with metal flatware, not paper and plastic. Hosts are charming. Thank you.

A pure delight, full of the spirit of St Petersburg. Lots of good advice from the hosts at Inn on Third about local amenities like the Downtown Hopper and the Sun Runner to the beaches. An unparalleled surprise! And the pier area was likened to being in a seaside Manhattan. Many young people, music and lively atmosphere. Thoroughly recommended from arrival onwards!

Inn on Third is a gem. Reminds me of being in Europe. Old school in all the best ways, with all the tech you need. The breakfast/cocktail area is a wonderful place to gather and chat - with other guests and the wonderful staff. The room was very comfortable. And the neighborhood is wonderful and walkable to all the best of St. Pete. I travel here a lot and will make this my automatic go-to.

The property was more than we expected because of the reasonable rate. The room was small but everything else made up for it. Brian and Stephanie at the front desk were most friendly and helpful. They offered a free glass of wine/beer in the evening, the breakfast was full of good choices and the coffee, delicious!

This was a lovely, adorable inn! The staff were friendly, kind, and cheerful. It was easy to find and park our car. It was perfect for our one night stay with a clean room, friendly and cozy community foyer with complimentary items such as a glass of wine, and other food. We would definitely stay here again.
