This is a basic hotel but a very good value for the price. It's in a great location and is very clean. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. There is a small, but well equipped gym. Breakfast was OK

The breakfast was great! More than what I was expecting. The room didn’t feel very clean. Got asked to move my car myself instead of actually having valet

I loved the feel of this hotel. From the start the valet was very nice and then the front desk operator was incredible. He showed me around the amenities and gave me local recommendations. Room was big, bathroom shower had good pressure and good smelling shampoo and soaps. AC was extremely cold. Continental Breakfast was better than average. Best things were a retro arcade game, pool table and sports on TV with a 24 hour bar and grab and go eatery. This place gets 6 Stars when you add in the price. Thanks

Will not return

Hotel is fairly new and has a good location in St Pete, close to restaurants and bars. Breakfast was okay. The cons (reasons I will not be returning): - You have to valet park and pay for it - Front desk staff both at check-in and check-out were dry and clearly do not enjoy their work (looked like they just wanted their shift to be over and were having negative small talk in front of guests, respectively) - Room was very small - It rained and the exterior common area by my room was flooded, could not use

I booked this room for my father and his wife and it was terrible. The room was dirty, they didn’t make up the room and when they called to say something, the desk clerk just apologized for not having any staff to clean. That’s unacceptable when you’re advertising rooms for that high of a price. Not to mention there’s no parking so you’re pretty much forced to use valet which is about 50 a day. Do not stay here. It does not look like the pictures.

I love the employees but prices just keep going up I have never paid almost $2,000 to stay there ever for the past three years of staying there. I also think this new valet parking is charging way to much this is not a 5 star luxury hotel for the price they charge they only walk maybe fifty feet to get the car.

Welcoming staff, clean rooms, great break fast games in the lobby...it was a little weird if not different the lobby was on the 3rd floor...the parking situation was a tough but I imagine it's the same for all of St. Pete...I like the fact that they had a shuttle that couls take you to various places in St. PETE overall very good experience.
