"If I could give this hotel zero stars, I absolutely would. Our stay this past weekend in St. Petersburg was nothing short of a complete disaster from start to finish, and I feel genuinely misled by what was advertised versus what we experienced. Let’s start with the most blatant issue: false advertising. The listing prominently features what appears to be a full-service bar in the lobby—one of the details that helped us choose this hotel. In reality? Just an empty bar top sitting awkwardly in the middle of the lobby with zero staff or service. It honestly felt like the photos were fabricated or AI-generated to lure guests in. Parking was another headache. We were told we could pay $10 for on-site parking, only to be told that if we moved our car, our spot was no longer guaranteed. So essentially, you’re paying for the possibility of parking, not an actual space. The pool - another major deciding factor for us - was closed. No notice at booking, no warning ahead of time. Just closed. Completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the elevator was broken during our entire stay. We were placed on the third floor and told assistance would be available for luggage if needed. That was a joke. There was never any staff around when we actually needed help, leaving us to haul everything ourselves. Cleanliness? Questionable at best. One of the blankets in our room had stains that looked like chocolate… or something far worse. Absolutely disgusting and completely inexcusable. Housekeep"

"My real complaint was the parking issue. It was a hassle to find the parking, one of the workers gave us the convoluted route to their parking spaces and once we parked there, we were told we couldn’t because we had to buy a parking pass and they were sold out… so we had to park at Sundial and for one night the price was almost $40. Mind you, we parked around 5pm and left at 10AM. I mean the room is decent. And their valet parking, which is in a garage right next to the building, is only available on Fridays and Saturdays and we were there on a Thursday. Which literally makes no sense. The shower could’ve been cleaner. The shower pressure was the best thing about the hotel. Also there was only one working elevator and 12 floors. So that was great. And there wasn’t any amenities for real. Would I come back? Absolutely not. Would I reccomend? Only if you don’t have a car :)"

"Great older hotel. Very pleasant staff. A bit difficult to navigate stairs with luggage. All in all….a good visit."

"Located in th heart of downtown St Pete’s. Easy walking distance to restaurants. I would stay here again."

"Location, check in and out, and staff were all great. Seemed a touch overpriced, especially for the room not being the cleanest, and not the most up-kept common areas"
