Top Eckerd College Hotel Reviews

Sirata St. Pete Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was excellent"

Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg Tierra Verde

8/10 Good

"The rooms were very clean and beautifully laid out. Very comfortable. My only complaint was the additional parking fee which was not explained at check-in. When I received my bill at check-out there was an additional fee which was unexpected. Over all a very nice hotel in a great location."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

8/10 Good

"The property is ideally located on the beach. The fact that the Suites are part of the famous Don Cesar hotel is a major plus. We also liked the ping-pong table, soccer pitch, the pool and the hot tube. The rooms was ok, the best part is that the room are quiet sound proof. That is important when they are so many rooms. This is not luxurious at all, but decent for a few days on the beach."
