We gave it a shot

Cute place at first but there a huge construction zone right next to it. Not a big deal - progress is a good thing. But checking in to our first room, the TV didn’t work - 4 universal remotes later it still didn’t work. Time for a new room. The next room the air didn’t work. The next the air worked but was only a small shower and not the requested tub. Same with the next room. Finally, a room on the second floor with air and tub. After moving everything again we rested well watching Amazon Prime Movies. The bed was good. In the morning, the tub was unevenly balanced so when standing in it to shower if you stepped forward it felt like the tub would fall over. ‘Why not take a bath instead?’ You might ask. Becuse thee stopped wouldn’t fit the drain hole so … no bath. Tiny pedestal sink with not much room for toiletries. The Inn is located in the middle of everything downtown St. Pete with access to a lot including a great AMC theater. We had to park in a parking garage two blocks away - Cordova validated the parking which was nice. It was an experience … probably won’t return because at almost 60 we need accommodations that are easier. Maybe one day we’ll try the boutique hotel thing again.

Needs improvements, Good location

The room needs basic improvements, mattress, bathroom curtains and curtain rails. There is no daily cleaning and coffee is not replenished. There is no dining room. There is a small bar, nice and with good service. Parking is nearby, secure and included in the room rate. The hotel has 3 floors, there is no elevator and the staff is not flexible or helpful as we are elderly and there are no elevators and no help with luggage, they should consider placing us on the lower levels. After 10:30 pm there is no reception but there is security and you enter with your room card. The hotel is well located and within walking distance to Central Ave and Beach Dr.

Worth it!

Love the antique style of the hotel. Love all of the history and the bar in the hotel is amazing! Delicious drinks and great bartender and atmosphere! Only complaint would be the shower/bathroom was incredibly small and the blow dryer was so old it tripped the outlet. Overall we would stay here again bc the good was better then the little things listed.

Historic property in a great location

Historic property in a great location. Large comfortable room. Reception was friendly and helpful. Thought the prices were comparable to others in the area. We could walk everywhere we wanted to in St. Pete and boy did we walk. My only criticism would be there was no breakfast available. The hotel had 3 floors and no elevator which I could see as problematic for some guests. We would consider staying here again.

Nice hotel but construction next door

Hotel was nice and very clean , but there was construction of their new hotel expansion next to us and the view was not nice. While it's a historic hotel the bathtub was difficult to get in because is antique. I also wish they had a morning coffee and pastries in the morning . Nice place though.

Great hotel, lousy customer service

Great location and happy with room. Hotel staff did a good job, but customer service after is horrible. Parking is supposed to be included. We were billed by the garage for parking. I have called (got voicemail), I sent an email to the hotel, I sent an email to Hotels.com and I sent a txt. No reply on any. Mistakes happen, but it’s hard to go back when you feel like you’re ignored. Beware.

Poor customer service. We had a family emergency come up after hours and we could not get anyone to return our phone calls the next day or respond to our emails. The bathroom was too small, the room was hot, and we could not find an elevator and could not find anywhere stating there was not an elevator.

We were I town for the Tampa Bay Blues fest. We checked in the afternoon and went to the festival in the Florida heat. Got back in the around 11 pm to find the shower didn't work and the sink barely drained. There was sharp broken tile on the bathroom floor and my wife cut her foot. After being outdoors all day, we badly needed a shower. We were unable to reach anyone about this. The front desk is unreachable by phone. Hotel rooms were scarce due to the blues fest. We were very fortunate to find a room at s much better hotel WITH A SHOWER. We have stayed at the Cordova Inn 3 times in the past. We will never go back.

The property is an old hotel, which is quite quaint. They have a coffee/liqueur bar in the lobby that attracts youngish folks. The room was a nice size, although the bathroom was small, typical of an old hotel. It had a claw-foot bath tub. There was very low water pressure at the bathroom sink and absolutely no hot water. The complimentary parking is in a garage about a block and a half from the hotel.
