• The staff was extremely friendly.
• There seems to be several maintenance issues throughout the hotel.

“I enjoyed the stay overall at this property. The friendliness of the staff made the stay more enjoyable than the actual accommodations.”

• The beach access and the restaurant are wonderful.
• Have to wait for a long time to check in.

“Walk to the beach right from your room and then have a drink on the entrance of the beach, how wonderful! Don't forget to go to the spinner to have the dinner.”

• Beautiful view of ocean and sunsets.
• Bathrooms was dated and dingy.

“The hotel was a bit dated. I was very disappointed. I expected to be able to just walk out onto the beach. What they really meant was direct view of the beach. We were located on the 5th floor and the elevators took a long time both up and down.”

• The location.
• No pool towels; tile flooring throughout the building and rooms which made it loud. Room size was tiny.

“The rooms here are extremely small. The flooring including halls and rooms are tile so you can here people speaking and their echoes as far as the opposite end of the hall. There were no towels for the pool either day of our stay. This is an old Holiday Inn and it looks like it in every way.”

• The view from the restaurant was great. Good poolside drinks.
• Sunset view was totally obstructed with palm trees. Dry mahi sandwich in restaurant.

“Great location. Nice beach. Poolside drinks very good. View from revolving top floor restaurant beautiful, meal disappointing. My mahi sandwich was very dry. Restaurant next door was much better to eat at. Beautiful sunsets. Relaxing!”

• Can't think of anything.

“This hotel has an excellent location for the St. Pete Beach visitor. Very close to a number of good restaurants, great beach, excellent tiki bars and centrally located.”

• Excellent location on a magnificent beach.
• Vile coffee. Pool chaises had no cushions. No beach chairs.

“Chosen for excellent location right on the beach, which did not disappoint, but facility needs a decor update. Staff ok but not totally on the ball. They "were too busy " to call us as promised when our room was ready for check-in. Then they locked us out after they promised us a late check-out, because they" forgot to tell us that we had to remind them not to disconnect our keys".”

• Location on beach and near stores, restaurants. Staff friendly.
• Floor dirty in penthouse/Had to call 2x for (4) light bulbs, trash under bar sink no entertainment except beach bar music.

“Ideal location near fine dining and shops. Views from rooms above average. Pool area nice and very close to beach. Phone at front desk answered in timely manner and staff friendly. Despite being bumped to Penthouse, room was not really ready. (4) light bulbs out, trash under bar sink, floor dirty, remote for bedroom TV. missing, A/C was loud and worked hard to cool. Imagine room would be very hot in spring season facing west. Although entertainment was advertised, the upstairs Spinners were empty and I could not even get a drink at midnight. Public restrooms clean but the remodeled penthouse bathroom was cheesy, with wall paper peeling. The Toilet tissue boxed area fell down when I went to dispense. There were several weddings on the beach and receptions and often the elevators were crowded with wait staff and carts. I would stay again but never at half the suggested retail printed on the door and would avoid the dining except for a casual fish sandwich.”

• Location on beach.
• No whirlpool.

“I am often skeptical about non chain hotels - in this case, this former Holiday Inn was a find. They did not have any hotel fees for parking or beach access.”

• It was right on the beach, and the views from our room were excellent.
• It was all good.

“This was the first time my wife and I had been to St. Pete Beach, and it couldn't have been any better. They offered live music in the beach bar, and I was aware that security was present in the lobby, which for us was a plus. The surrounding area has lots of interesting things to do. Pass-a-Grille and Tampa's pier were the best ever.”

• Right on the beach, 2nd bed was a Murphy bed.
• Restaurant on top of hotel smelled a little musty.

“Rooms were clean and bright. all had balconies. Heated pool really was heated. 2nd bed was a Murphy bed instead of a fold out so mattress was firmer and when folded into the wall the base became a couch with a lot of walking space in front of it. Smoking was only allowed on balconies so there wasn't any cigarette odor anywhere. We arrived in a rainstorm and the hotel had covered parking which was also great.”

• Great beach, good casual dining.
• Hotel was tired. Pool area was mediocre. High end restaurant was terrible.

“Average older hotel with better than average service. Casual dining was good but the service and the food at the revolving restaurant was a very poor experience.”

• The hotel was located directly on the beach. The beds were very comfortable.
• There is a beach bar next door and the music lasted late into the night.

“Our room had been nicely renovated and the bed was very comfortable. Our room was large and clean. The location was wonderful. We would consider going back again. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.”
