Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms give off a run-down vibe, far from the expected beachfront resort quality, despite being clean and spacious. However, the cooling capacity in public areas is much better. The service staff is friendly and helpful, with comfortable beds and a ceiling fan as a nice alternative to AC. The location is superb right on St Pete beach, offering a variety of dining options within walking distance. On the downside, the dining experience is disappointing with limited breakfast choices and high prices. The facilities and amenities are overall nice but lacking in some areas.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location is excellent, right on St Pete Beach with easy access to restaurants and entertainment. The rooms, while offering a unique view, were not serviced as requested, indicating maintenance issues. However, the special needs room had a small fridge and microwave, which was convenient. Beware that special offer rates from the booking might not be honored as expected, leaving me feeling a bit disappointed.
The hotel offers comfortable and well-furnished rooms, but noise from an outside bar could be disruptive until late at night. The staff is friendly and helpful overall, but some service issues were noted. The location is excellent, with beachside facilities and dining options. The dining experience varied in quality and pricing. The facilities are adequate, with some room for improvement.
The hotel room was clean and offered a nice view of the beach and sea on the 5th floor, with a small microwave and mini fridge for added convenience. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the location was beautiful right on the beach. The dining experience was not up to standard, with limited options, but the facilities were satisfactory.
