Would definitely stay again! Thank you!
Super friendly! Let us borrow chairs for a festival. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It’s an older building and the air conditioner struggled a bit to keep up. The continental breakfast and Happy hour drink was the perfect touch. Definitely recommend!

It’s in a great location; very walkable to restaurants, museums and the pier. We enjoyed the social time in the evening with a complimentary beverage which provided an opportunity to meet other travelers.
We also enjoyed the vibe, which was very homey and comfortable.

Charming small hotel
Quaint place with a welcoming lobby where breakfast is served and coffee tea all day. Brian at the desk was particularly kind and helpful. Rooms are adequate and location is great for seeing downtown St. Pete. Would stay again.

Comfort and ambiance from a bygone era
This is truly an Inn. An older hotel which has been updated but they kept all the quaintness and hominess. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Everything was very clean and comfortable. A true gem centrally located in downtown.

Best in the area I've found
Location was great, walking distance to a lot of places. Hotel was clean. Staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations, asked us how we were from day to day. Breakfast was sufficient.
Hotel is "historical" but don't be turned off by that. The rooms are clean and well cared for.

Local find!
Really enjoyed an alternative to a hotel chain stay. Walking up a flight of stairs was not an issue. There wasn't quite enough table seating for everyone at breakfast but others sat on sofas with a coffee table. The hosts managed our unexpected late arrival due to weather and emailed my receipt due to my very early departure. Comfortable room and bath and very reasonable price!

Inn on Third is a classic downtown inn that is very cozy. Free beer or wine in the evening and continental breakfast in the morning. Very convenient to downtown St Petersburg museums and The Palladium Performing Arts Center where my husband was performing.
