• Very quaint, well restored old Spanish feel.
• Parking costs were outrageous, incidental charges way too high.

“Nice hotel, great location near the water. Staff was friendly and room was nicely renovated. Old Spanish feel, great historic hotel. Near restaurants. Liked the hotel, rate was extremely reasonable, but the incidentals like water, parking, food at the hotel were ridiculously high.”

• the restaurant, the health club and spa, robes, and free wireless
• nothing!

“old luxury hotel with modern upgrades. Comfortable room, lovely veranda overlooking Tampa Bay with wicker rockers, lobby bar, complete health club and spa....all well-maintained and appointed. I hope the next time I use Priceline for that area that I am fortunate enough to get the Vinoy again.”

• Classic beauty of the property; front desk staff came around the desk to hand you the room key.

“Fabulous property in a beautiful location on the waterfront. The classic architecture of this building was complimented by the guest services. In particular, I was impressed with the novel approach of the front desk staff: during the check-in process, the guest clerk came around the desk, meeting me face-to-face, handing me the room key and directing me to the nearest elevator. That personal touch is wonderful and makes the guest feel as though they are truly being welcomed to the property.”

• 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!”
