The one who bought room

If your looking for a great location that it is right in downtown and close to St.pete Pier. Shower was cold and the cleaning staff could do a better job at cleaning the shower.

During my four days and three nights at this property hotel room was never once cleaned! I only received fresh towels and shampoo as well as body wash. Out of the three nights that I stayed at the property my Wi-Fi only worked for one night and the cable only worked for one of the nights that I was there. I was told by the front desk staff that this was an old hotel. He asked me what did I expect about the property? The front desk staff was dismissive and rude. I politely notified them each time that the Wi-Fi went out and the cable went out. Also even after I notified them several times that my room had not been cleaned my room still wasn't cleaned on any of the nights even when I put a sign outside of my door every single day to request that the room be cleaned by housekeeping. The location of the hotel is in a great area which is conveniently located by many restaurants and a short walk to the Salvador Dali Museum! The hotel bedroom was a good size and aside from that I loved the area in which the hotel was located at but the lack of customer service and the lack of cleanliness at the hotel left many things to be desired

Not great, but the staff were excellent!

The staff were excellent. They were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that a colleague’s room was bug-infested and he asked to be moved in the middle of the night. My room was comfortable, but the area rug was a bit dingy.
