We liked that it is a unique historical hotel with an interesting history. All the staff we encountered were warm and welcoming. Rooms were clean and the grounds are nice.
The historic features were great. There is a veranda you can sit on, to enjoy the evening.
There are many attractions and excellent food choices nearby. All the staff were pleasant. The breakfast buffet was unusually well supplied with many choices, including fresh cooked eggs.
A relaxed feeling and well appointed rooms.
The hotel was lovely, we had a great stay. The staff were really helpful and super nice. We loved the pool and the vintage feel overall. Breakfast was delicious.
The hotel was beautiful. Although the pool area was less than impressive. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would certainly stay here again!
We rented a second room for our kids and 3 grandkids. They had enough space to spread out and feel comfortable in a beautiful two bedroom suite! Breakfast was a huge hit with grandkids!
A beautiful old and well maintained hotel, and a good value. The person at the desk after 9pm when we checked in was amazing and helpful, and super friendly. Would have liked to stay longer, and will definitely recommend and stay again when in St. Petersburg
The staff was really great, everyone we met! Breakfast was good, coffee was good. The bed was a little firmer than I care for but not uncomfortable. Pretty area, lots of history in the area cobblestone roads. We’d stay there again.
