Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great downtown hotel. Easy location with parking."

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."

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED our stay here! We are locals in Tampa, and grabbed a room for the World Series, and the staff was amazing!! I can only imagine how overwhelming it was with so many people coming in! The rooms were gorgeous, and the lobby area is adorable with bar and cutest book store. I am stoked that we stumbled upon Cordova almost as an accident and now love it and will definitely be back! Highly recommend! And extra kudos to the team there the last few days, you kept it cool, calm and collected with a smile the entire time despite a million people checking in at once. WELL DONE!!!"
