We’ve stayed here before. The staff is pretty meager but helpful. There are no frills but it’s clean and in a good location.
Property is a great location in downtown St. Petersburg. Great value if you just want an affordable place to stay downtown. Everything downtown is walkable. No parking on site but a public parking garage is close.

Great location at a cheap price. That’s why we stayed. Bed uncomfortable, pillows not so good either.
It was great we checked in an hour before the event we were in town to see. Eddy at the front desk was very helpful. All in all it was a pleasurable experience the location was perfect and the staff friendly.

Great location and friendly staff, clean and comfortable
I had a wonderful week stay here and the location, rooms and service was amazing. I really loved working with Beril, she helped me with everything and I definitely recommend you staying here if you’re in st pete.
Hotel location is awesome. Room was clean. Parking wasn't great. Has to park a block or so away. Ended up paying $22 for the parking. Due to event parking $10 then an additional $12 the next morning. Hotel is very old and doors are very thin. You can hear anyone that comes by the room.
This hotel is in a prime location, and has in its building two fabulous restaurants!
The staff is attentive and courteous, especially Eddy at the front desk. The rooms are dated, but the value cannot be beat. I suggest staying at this hotel and will do so again in the future myself.
The staff was great and very helpful. I would have given 5stars but housekeeping needs much improvement!
Very walkable location. Free downtown trolley stop around the corner.
Generally clean room, but we did see a couple of German cockroaches in the room. No parking which isn’t ideal. No breakfast. Overall a pleasant stay though.
