NO hot water at all in the entire hotel. The front desk knew about this and didn’t disclose it when we checked in. Hallways smelled of marijuana & we’re noisy with kids.

The hotel is very old and the hallways smell like smoke. The rooms were clean but they didn’t have extra blankets or pillows. The bed was very uncomfortable. The TV is tiny. Overall not the best experience but very cheap.

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.

We have stayed here a few times before but this was mildly disappointing. our first room didn’t have running water so we had to wait to move. Our second room was not very pretty to be in and shower was so tiny and had no water pressure. We ended up leaving a night early bc there was no hot water after about 20 min and we just didn’t want the haste of moving rooms again. We know it’s an old hotel ans all but it was not relaxing or enjoyable bc of that. The front desk agent didn’t ask or acknowledge why we were leaving a full night early which was kind of rude

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.

The man at the front desk was extremely helpful. I unfortunately had to check out due to no hot water in my room . And the shower wouldn’t even turn to shower it only ran like a bath tub. It was cute but I gotta shower so I left.

Room was hot, tried to change and they told me I wasn’t checked in even though I checked in and my card was charged. Couldn’t refund me because they couldn’t find my booking even though when I checked in there was no issue finding my information. Someone was smoking in the room, the whole hallway smelt.
