We blocked rooms at this hotel for our wedding guests, and overall, the experience was great! Rachel, the events coordinator, was so kind and accommodating from the moment we started working with her. The front desk staff that I interacted with were also very polite and patient (I wish I had caught their names)! The valet staff were professional and attentive. They fetched cars within a reasonable amount of time, taking into account how busy the hotel was that weekend. Valet cost was provided clearly ahead of time on the hotel website, so there should have been no surprises for guests on arrival. Despite other negative reviews about the elevators, we had no issues with them being slow. (Sometimes I wonder if people just like to complain . . . it is a 15-story building so gauge your expectations accordingly!) I stayed in one of the suites, which we also used for bridal party hair and makeup. The hotel left us champagne in our room - so nice! Our room was spacious with a great view of the bay in the distance, and the king bed was really comfortable. The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed. (My one suggestion for the hotel would be to install some towel rods near the sink for hanging up hand towels and washcloths). The building itself is older, but has been updated--the lobby/main floor is beautiful and has tons of space and seating, which allowed our wedding guests to easily hang out together during the day. We picked this hotel because the location was perfect and it had a pool. We also liked the price compared to other hotels in the area! I definitely would recommend this hotel if you are planning to block rooms for your wedding, or if you are just planning a trip to St. Pete!

Not sure who designed the double bed room washrooms. The washroom is only just large enough to use the facilities but you have to step aside to close the washroom door. The fixtures selected for the washroom have low utility. There are not enough hooks to hang towels. The hook that exists, small towels slip off of. The towel is over the toilet paper so your wet hand drips into the toilet paper. The faucet does not match the water flow. The water skews to one side. The toilet handle feels cheap and flimsy. Toilet itself is fine. Water pressure is good and fine in the shower head. It’s easy to see imperfections in the washroom. There is no pledge to be eco-friendly. When you cannot keep your towels sanitary for re-use this is not eco-friendly. Good thing I am only staying a single night in this hotel. Family friendly hotel it seems for large groups to gather in the lobby. There is no vibe, no music at the hotel bar. Hope management fixes some of these issues the staff cannot fix. The room is clean. The towels are clean but little hairs stuck in towels - no one’s job to put towel under magnifying glass. The room itself is spacious, there is a large closet area.
