Nice staff, good location, easy check in, and comfortable beds.
There's a lot of traffic noise from the nearby road so bring ear protection if you're sensitive to that.

Clean room, amazing staff(friendly,understanding and efficient)
And the hotel was close to downtown and all the beaches were around 11- 16mins away.
There were alot of stores and restaurants near by.

Room clean, staff pleasant, wish they offered more toiletries even if they were upon request or at a small fee. Makes it convenient when you forget something which we always seem to do. There's places to eat , gas, convenient stores all close by. Not fancy but you're not paying $200-400 per night.

The hotel was under renovations at the time we stayed but everyone was really nice and the room was clean. The pool seemed really nice too but we didn't use it.

I stayed in a room here that was recently renovated. It was clean, the king bed was extremely comfortable. If your traveling on a budget definitely consider this place , as I will be back when I’m in ST Pete again.

Our experience was unfortunately very disappointing. From the beginning, the service was poor, the staff did not provide clear explanations and seemed unprepared to properly assist guests.
The parking situation is quite inadequate, which already creates discomfort upon arrival. When we entered the room, things got even worse: it was visibly dirty, with trash still in the bathroom bin, hair all over the bathroom, and clear signs of poor cleaning.
The blanket was dirty, and the pillows were uncomfortable and of very low quality. On top of that, the building is old and clearly in need of maintenance, which negatively impacts the overall experience.
Unfortunately, we do not recommend this place to families or to anyone looking for comfort and a decent stay.

There was no hot water when I checked in. Entire room was overwhelming with the smell of bleach.
There was no option for housekeeping or any amenities. The WiFi would cut in and out when logged in. So I couldn’t get any work done and had to utilize the hotspot from my phone for stable connectivity.

Sin palabras, hasta con ventana rota. Ruidos ambientales y limpieza pésima. Lo rente por los Review. Pero deben ser del dueño. Las fotos muy bien colocadas para el engaño. CUIDADO WARNING.
