Ponce De Leon Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking was the biggest challenge. Had to pay for the public garage the street."

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the hotel. Clean room, lovely rooftop bar, super charming. The staff were lovely just didn’t have a chance to interact enough to rate as excellent. Location was fantastic as well. Couple of blocks from Central Ave, lots to do. Had a great time and will absolutely be back."

The Inn on Third

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the ambiance of place. Be aware no lift though staff offer help to room and only one flight of stairs. Great having parking on site. Checkin at four, when booked through 3rd party companies can be awkward, however did let us do so a bit early. Breakfast continental was very adequate. Good central location. Would definitely return."

Landing St. Petersburg

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Apartment was clean, security folks at the front desk were super helpful, pool was fantastic, and manager promptly responded to our questions. Biggest bonus was the close proximity to the Trop and Ferg's. Cons: The air conditioner freaked out and smelled like burning- it set of the fire alarm, but there was no fire. We turned it off for a bit and it was fine. No dishwasher, but not a huge deal. Biggest issue was the door lock- fob and/or app didn't always work well, but we always got in eventually. I would definitely return."
