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.

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.

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.

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.

Loved this place
Super friendly and helpful staff. Nice quiet room--nothing fancy but very cozy and comfortable. Wanted to stay another night just to hang around for their happy hour again! Oh--and they have a parking lot right next to the front door, which is a big deal for this area.

Really enjoyed our recent two night stay here. Centrally located with easy parking next to the building. It is well positioned to be able to walk to downtown and waterfront to sample the local nightlife but far enough away to not be disturbed by any noise. The breakfast offering is also a nice touch. Would definitely stay again if we were back in the area.
