Guests enjoy access to fitness facilities, a business center, and even on-site BBQ grills for post-show hangs.

Whether you're in town for a beach concert or a major event just a short drive away in downtown St. Pete, this laid-back, 3-star resort offers a peaceful place to recharge after the encore ends.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location makes it easy to get to local venues without sacrificing a good night’s sleep. It’s just far enough from the nightlife to be quiet, but close enough for a quick ride share after the show. A flexible 4:00 PM check-in means you can arrive at your own pace, and the 11:00 AM check-out gives you time to sleep in. Free private parking and a paid airport shuttle also make it easy to get around without stress.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a fun, low-key beach concert weekend
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list artist and wanting a safe, quiet stay
• Couples planning a romantic concert-and-beach getaway
• Fans who prefer a quieter, scenic spot to recover post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want the perks of a resort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, many rooms feature kitchenettes with microwaves, stovetops, and coffee makers—perfect for late-night bites. There are also plenty of casual eateries and bars within walking distance, and BBQ facilities on-site for DIY dining. No official breakfast buffet, but coffee in-room and nearby cafes make mornings easy after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You're within easy reach of beachside bars, lounges, and live music venues in St. Pete Beach. While the hotel itself is more of a chill basecamp than a party spot, it's ideal for heading out and coming back to peace and quiet. Local craft cocktails, tiki bars, and relaxed beach pubs are all a short walk or ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, quiet location, and beautiful marina views. Many highlight the clean, spacious rooms and the option for self-catering. Reviewers also praise the free parking and the well-kept pool area as great perks after a long night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the decor could use a refresh and that the property has a retro vibe. Others mention limited dining options on-site—but with so many nearby restaurants and the option to cook in-room, it’s a small trade-off.
