Never again
This hotel needs a lot of work. Upon arrival to our floor there was some sort of a fight happening in one of the rooms and trash throughout the halls. Our showers in both rooms had no hot water even though the sign said to run for 1-2 min for hot water. When we left there were roaches in the hallway. Definitely not a place we will stay again.

My room was of a lesser quality than the pictures I viewed on the internet; however, the room was clean and had the necessities for a comfortable stay.

It checked my most important boxes
Overall, I was pleased, but it was because I was in St. Pete for a road race that was within a 10-minute walk, which is exactly what I wanted. The room was musty and could have been cleaner, but I could open the windows and it had a fridge. It was built in the 1920s, so there's a certain historical charm about it too. It was also one of the most economical places I found to stay. So I will choose this hotel again for events in downtown St. Pete. Why? I don't spend much time in my room and the convenience far outweighs the downsides.

Vintage but dated
The vintage vibe was great! The afternoon and morning desk attendance were friendly and professional. The night clerk was very rude and not helpful when I brought my tv remote down bc it was not working. The water in the shower was lukewarm, even after running it several minutes.

Good location
The only thing good about this hotel was the location. We could walk to Starbucks, bars, restaurants, Saturday morning market and the waterfront. The hotel is very old and in need of renovations. The shower has mold in the grout. The light fixtures in the bathroom are rusty. There was no hot water. The previous guest's used washcloth was still in the shower when we checked in. The bed was soft and had a huge dip in the middle. The mattress should have been replaced long ago. It was very uncomfortable and our backs were sore in the morning. The bedspread was old and worn out and in need of replacement. Customer service was not good. They did not come in to clean the room until 5 pm each day. They didn't even clean the room one of the days we were there and we went down to ask for clean towels. They gave us towels but didn't have wash cloths. Next day they cleaned the room but didn't give us wash cloths. We had to go down and ask twice before they finally brought them up. There is no coffee or breakfast offered here, either, but there is a Starbucks within walking distance.

They never checked me in
When I went to check in the front desk mentioned my reservation was prematurely canceled and that Hotels dot com sent me a refund. I was not able to stay and I do not see the refund.

Very disappointing
Disappointing. Room has seen better days. Mold in bathroom. Missing one of the towel rods in the bathroom. Headboard coming apart, hallway carpet stained. Hot water was warm at best without using any cold water. Very noisy at night. No usb ports in room. Parking meters in front are turned into valet parking at 5 pm. Could be a real gem of a hotel. Would not recommend.

Basic Services Lacking
Room is fine. Didn’t expect it to be 5 Star, but there’s no hot water & TV doesn’t work on a consistent basis. Room not serviced even though we put a doorknob hanger request out. We think we should get a discount on the room. Hot water & TV are basic services we expect.
