Happy Historic Hideaway

This was a charming hotel in an excellent spot. We had views of Tampa Bay and downtown St. Pete both to enjoy. It was a historic building, with high ceilings, art deco, picture rail moldings. The staff were friendly and helpful, even getting me a glass of ice from the neighboring restaurant when the ice maker was down. Super easy access to restaurants and a divine coffee shop 1 block away.

No complaints it’s definitely a little dated, but didn’t care. We loved the location and the price of the hotel room. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

I had a good stay. It's sad this beautiful historical hotel gets such bad reviews. Amazing location. The only problem is that they need to do some maintenance. I dunno what is going on with that place is it under new management and they're trying to fix up old stuff or has no one cared for this wonderful piece of history for the last 20 years.

Staff was super friendly however we checked in a little later in the day and the room key given to use was for a room already occupied. So i walked in on someones very intimate moment. This was quite devastating for all parties.

Friend-cation

Loved the classic feel of the building. Shower was goofy and got water everywhere but oh well. I had a balcony which was fun. All in all a pleasant stay.

A pleasant experience

The hotel had the basic necessities. Ahmed was very friendly, helpful, and pleasant. He always greeted me and asked if I needed anything. I heard him greeting other guests as well. Even though the accommodations were fairly comfortable, some updates could be done to the rooms and offering a continental breakfast & coffee would be appreciated🙂

Its an older hotel with a lot of character. Our main front staff guy with the ice blue eyes, was so funny, fun to, talk to, and took care of all our needs.

Friendly staff, incredible location. Great value.

Staff is welcoming, and responsive. This is an old, historic building, so if you appreciate the value, location, and staff, then the shortcomings of a slow elevator, less than sparkling clean bathrooms, and slow hot water are acceptable. Being able to walk to the downtown area, or jump on the trolley are big plusses. The value is exceptional. See y'all again soon!

The building is old but they have done a nice job. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is fantastic and within walking distance of almost anything you would want to do in downtown St Pete. We would definitely stay there again.
