This hotel keeps it simple — while there’s no on-site restaurant, there are plenty of casual dining options nearby, many open late for that post-show bite. Guests can also make use of the on-site grill or grab snacks from convenience stores in walking distance. While there's no breakfast buffet, the area offers plenty of diners and cafés for a late brunch.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer a bar or live music on site, it places you within a short drive of downtown St. Petersburg’s nightlife—from craft beer bars to laid-back lounges. Whether you're heading to a concert or just want to explore the local scene, you’re in a great spot to do it without breaking the bank.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills hotel, so don’t expect luxury touches or premium amenities. Some guests mention the decor is dated, and while the rooms are clean, they’re more functional than stylish. But for the price, it’s a fair trade-off.

Bad

Liked: This property should not even be allowed on booking.com I am seriously looking into who to contact to have this place looked at. I can’t believe a hotel is allowed to be advertised in the condition. The floors were dirty and sticky, stained sheets, broken AC unit the windows in the room you couldn’t even look out they were so dirty! My son and I were so scared we shared a bed barricaded the door and used nothing and set our alarm and got out of there at 6am when we checked in later than 11pm. A complete disaster and disappointment! Spend 147$ A total loss!

It may look a little...

Liked: It was conveniently close to everything we needed. It looked a little sketchy but it wasn’t the worst place I’ve stayed in. The front desk clerk was nice.
Disliked: Our bathroom wall behind the toilet was made out of a screen door. The remote only worked for 4 channels. The a/c wasn’t as cold as it should have been.

Avoid!

Liked: The desk clerk was pleasant in her disheveled office.
Disliked: This is apparently a welfare hotel in a rundown part of town. Many of the guests were residents. As soon as we entered the parking lot we came upon numerous youngsters riding bicycles and lots of loosers hanging out smoking their cigarettes. Our room was clean but dingy. The bath towels were not much bigger than a dish cloth. Did not feel safe or comfortable in this place. Room was overpriced..

A dump.

Disliked: The smell in the room. A missing toilet paper holder. Some decent towels. Shower with hot water. A working door dead bolt. An elevator, ice machine, breakfast (although I probably wouldn't have partaken.) A warning that this establishment was relief housing for some families, hurricane relief? immigrant relief? FEMA? The building is old, falling apart, needing painting. Because of this everything looked dirty. Although my room was clean, it smelled. Never again Booking.com.
