Arrived an elevator was out of service. Never notified prior to arrival about the elevator. Too late to book another room because I had to go straight to wedding rehearsal. Had to climb 2 flights of stairs with heavy luggage and no one offered to help. Terrible service and I will never return

This is a very old hotel, and the rooms are small, but you can't beat the location. Perfect.
When we arrived found out that the sole elevator in the hotel had been out of order for ten days and had no idea when it would be working. We had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. If we had known in advance, we would have sought alternatives. There was a Hampton Inn around the corner. An alternative was offered by decided to stay due to its convenient location to where we planned to go.
Choose elsewhere to stay!! Parking is terrible, the elevator broken and had to take multiple trips up and down 5 flights of stairs because the key card would not work. Finally got into the room which was very small, the bed smelled musty, the water in the bathroom would not warm up and the windows were not properly sealed. Because of the issues getting into the room I was late for an appointment so promptly changed and left. Upon returning I informed the lady at the desk I wouldn't be staying to which she said she would write it down but couldn't give me anything showing I checked out and didn't stay. Just don't do it!
Cool old building with lits of potential under the right ownership. Needs a total renovation!

Just be warned that the elevator doesn't work and I am on the 3.5 floor. Dreading trying to get my things back downstars. Should have been warned on a 1st Friday in st.pete. no last minute options
When we entered the hotel and went upstairs to our room the hallways were covered in a white powder that had not been cleaned up by the housekeeping. My hubby has COPD and congestive heart failure and because of this powder, he could barely breathe by the time we got to the room. We almost called 911 because he could not breathe.The hotel had a definite bad odor that I believe they were trying to cover up. All they offered to do is move us from one room to another. But that floor also had the powder throughout the hallways and in the rooms. It was a horrible experience overall, and we will not be back again. Also the beds were hard as a rock. You pay 15 dollars to park your vehicle because the hotel has no parking available.

It was ok for a couple of days
It was ok for a couple of days. Location is excellent but facilities need a face lift to look more clean. Not a bad experience.
The hotel was in a great area, we enjoyed being walking distance from the dali museum and all the parks and dinners around but, at the hotel there is no parking it is basically $40 per day unless you wake up and move your car somewhere else before 5 am. Once you pay the daily fee by the time you wake up, if you take your car out you will pay the entire daily fee again. The elevator was broken and there was no help from staff getting the bags up 5 flights of stairs. Staff will tell you it will be fixed in an hour except the elevator has been broken since the previous hurricane and the temporarily out of order sign is a permanent fixture on those doors. There were roaches and dirty used cups on the floor and behind the bed. At least the A/c in our room was good but we found ourselves almost trapped in the room due to having to walk up 5 flights of stairs.
