  • Very classy, upscale and comfortable.
  • Modern amenities were lacking.

“The hotel was perfectly located with many shops, restaurants and things to do nearby. We went over 4th of July weekend, and the hotel was perfectly situated for watching the spectacular fireworks show. The only negative is that rooms were not equipped with WiFi, DVD players or MP3 stereo. I have stayed at lower-end hotels before that offer all of these and was a bit surprised that the one did not- especially for the price! Overall, a great stay though. I would go back.”

  • Great location and facilities. Perfect getaway hotel.
  • All prices are expensive. Expect to pay 4-star prices for dinks, food etc.

“My wife and I had a great time at this hotel. The pool offered all of the services we were looking for. We happened to be there during "Taste of Pinellas" walked to the festival in Vinoy Park across the street. I would highly recommend the place to anyone willing to pay a little extra for a great getaway!”

  • Old World charm! Architecturally significant! One of a kind!
  • New addition.

“One of the view hotels that you don't mind hanging around in. Historic, romantic days of the rich and famous look for them checking in! Best of show, sitting back on the front porch veranda having a cocktail and smoking a Cohia! Can't get any better walk to the cool side of town. Don't miss it could become a 5 star very easily. Restaurant is magnificent and great seafood lives the fantasy and relaxes!”

“Overall, the place was excellent; however we were placed in the older section of the resort and were not made aware that we needed to ask for a room with a balcony to be placed in the newer section when we made our reservation.”

  • Staff went out of their way to help. Everything was very upscale.
  • I wish it was on the beach and the marina was being redone so I was disappointed that we could not see all the yachts I was expecting.

“If you want southern hospitality & warmth, this is the place for you.”

  • The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Excellent service, as well.
  • The AC in our room did not keep the room cool enough.

“The Renaissance Vinoy is an incredible. The beautiful historic hotel is within walking distance of the Yacht Club, a public park, restaurants and shopping. ”

  • Lovely hotel with all you would expect from a 4 star!
  • I did not care for the toiletries. Outdoor bar/ restaurant service was weak.

“We are Marriott rewards members. I contacted the hotel and made our requests and then spoke with front desk management when I arrived. They honored our requests and were so very welcoming. This was our first visit to this beautiful hotel and to the Tampa/St.Petersburg area.”

  • The room was wonderful.

“The hotel is beautiful, however they want to cater to an upscale crowd, and seemed not to appreciate the family group. The bathrobes left in the room were not clean, nor were some of the towels (they were pretty stained, not actually dirty, but they looked gross. Also, the room was not ready until an hour after check-in, and we phoned ahead and were assured we could have an early check-in. It was disappointing to have to wait 2 hours for the room. Overall, I would not recommend the Vinoy to others. There are much better resort hotels in the area.”

  • The room was extremely basic for the price I paid.

“The hotel itself was very nice, good area. I thought that for the price that I paid I would get more than the basic room that I was in.”

  • Beautiful hotel, excellent location.
  • They did not have our reservation upon arrival.

“Beautiful hotel for a romantic weekend. I spent a lot of time with reservation specialists to request a nice room for our special celebration. On the phone, very accommodating, upon arrival, our reservation was not there. Instead of a nice room with a good view, we had a sufficient room with a view of the dumpster and smoke billowing from a pipe coming out of the kitchen. ”
