My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were really small, didn't offer any services like room cleaning, the bathroom had only cold water, the sink was clogged, the bed was hard, and there was no Wi-Fi available, all for a high price. Additionally, the bathroom emitted an unbearable smell. However, the location was convenient for accessing various places in downtown St Petersburg.

6.8/10

I couldn't have asked for a better location for this hotel - it's within walking distance of so many great places and right near the beach. The rooms, while spacious, are a bit outdated and not well-maintained. The service from staff, especially Emma, was friendly and pleasant. The hotel could use some improvements in terms of accommodating special requests and providing more details about parking. Despite the old charm of the building, the location makes up for it all.

Rooms

5.0

The design of the rooms seems tailored for shorter people, and while they were quite spacious, they looked old and unkempt.

Service

7.0

The service was overall pleasant and very helpful, particularly from a staff member named Emma. Though the hotel may be renovating on a budget, the staff remained accommodating.

Location

9.0

This hotel is truly in a prime location - right in the heart of downtown, close to the beach and many attractions. Although the hardwood floors in the bathroom and challenging stairs are a bit inconvenient, being so close to everything makes it worthwhile.

Dining

5.0

I was surprised by the lackluster dining options considering the status of the hotel. The dining room just didn't match the expectations one would have. However, the organic jams were a nice touch.

Facilities

The facilities of the hotel were a mixed bag - they could use some improvements to match the location and service provided. The organic jams provided a unique touch.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was convenient, and the staff provided excellent service. However, I did notice some room issues that affected my experience, and the dining options were not as impressive as expected.

Rooms

7.0

Although the room had a nice view facing the water, it didn't match the images on the website. I also found a towel tucked in around the AC unit, which seemed odd. The curtain was covering the window for over half an hour, and the overall cleanliness was not ideal.

The service provided by the staff was friendly and accommodating. They were welcoming and made me feel at home during my stay.
