It’s in a great location; very walkable to restaurants, museums and the pier. We enjoyed the social time in the evening with a complimentary beverage which provided an opportunity to meet other travelers. We also enjoyed the vibe, which was very homey and comfortable.

Best in the area I've found

Location was great, walking distance to a lot of places. Hotel was clean. Staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations, asked us how we were from day to day. Breakfast was sufficient. Hotel is "historical" but don't be turned off by that. The rooms are clean and well cared for.

Charming small hotel

Quaint place with a welcoming lobby where breakfast is served and coffee tea all day. Brian at the desk was particularly kind and helpful. Rooms are adequate and location is great for seeing downtown St. Pete. Would stay again.

Friendliness of the staff was outstanding. Only one thing I noticed that could have been less than five was some of the paint on the doorframe was a little chipped dated. I mean that’s being really really nitpicky. This place was great. Bathrooms clean good water pressure and lots of toiletries. Bed was very comfortable. Ac was good. Super convenient location. Lots of really nice antique furniture. No pool but nice patio area. No hot breakfast but pastries bagels cereal yogurt hard boiled eggs coffee. It was good.

Inn on Third is a classic downtown inn that is very cozy. Free beer or wine in the evening and continental breakfast in the morning. Very convenient to downtown St Petersburg museums and The Palladium Performing Arts Center where my husband was performing.

Kind of old but has a charm

Just like the title says. It's an old looking place but I'm sure that's a plus to some people. The room was comfortable but may need some updates. The TV speakers don't work very well and the mattresses on the beds may need to be replaced soon. The room was clean and quiet and provided everything that you would need. I don't think they have an elevator at all so keep that in mind. The biggest positive about this place is the people who work there. They were very friendly and helpful. If you like to socialize and drink, they do have a social hour every evening that some people might really enjoy. My friend and I don't drink so we didn't really attend. The next biggest positive is its closeness to downtown. You can take the free shuttle or walk to some really nice restaurants and museums. Despite all of its needs for an update, I would definitely stay here again.
