This was one of our favorite hotel finds! Beautiful old hotel that has been beautifully restored. Feels very “old Florida” with a veranda and rocking chairs, dining room
Full of light, and view of the bay. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean, with a very comfortable bed and pillows. The breakfast was very nice with hot and cold items. The staff could not have been friendlier! We will certainly be back when we return to visit family!
Nice place overall . Beds arent very comfortable needs to upgrade those but the place was nice and clean. Very loud dump trucks going by but do to the hurricane clean up and rush for this next hurricane i understand
This was a great stay! Excellent service. It is evident that it’s an older hotel but that is actually part of the charm. The location is ideal and the breakfast was way above par. Will definitely stay there again.
Hotel was great. Very quiet and the surrounding area is beautiful. There isn't much around in terms of restaurants and tranist is about a 15 minute walk but once you're at the bus its a fairly quick ride to treasure island or downtown st pete which both have a lot to offer. The pool is also very nice. Perfect place for a relaxing stay
Absolutely charming, great staff, fantastic breakfast can’t say enough about this hotel. If you don’t mind driving to the beaches this is the hotel for you. Oh and down the street around 73 rd and Central is a great little restaurant called The Wheelhouse
