A Disappointing Boutique Hotel
The pictures online showed such a picturesque boutique hotel. I booked it for a surprise weekend for my husbands birthday. It was not. It was old and had poor amenities. In our room there was a window air conditioner that blew directly on the bed and kept going on and off every few minutes 24/7! The window coverings were awful. Some didn't work. The bathtub only had hot water out of either faucet and the clawfoot bathtub itself, while inviting, was chipped and appeared dirty. The windows were very dirty. We only saw one or two employees during our stay, but did get a sales call about joining the hotel chain. Parking was free but a block away. The construction next door started at 7 am, even on the holiday. There was no elevator. We asked for a first floor room and was told it was not available in our category. Overall all a very disappointing stay.

Okay
They have nighttime security apparently but the security alarm was going off from 5 AM to 7:30 AM. The bartender at “The Scott” was cleaning up at 8:30 pm when the bar closes at 10:00 pm and I was rushed so I just didn’t get a drink. The rooms are really cute. The decor is really cute. Jaleesa at the front is very helpful. The morning drinks at “The Scott” were pretty awful even though the female barista was very nice. There was also a used bandaid in my first room (I later got switched to a second room which was much better but the lamp didn’t work). Also parking was TERRIBLE! It was like a 5 minute walk in a sketchy garage. Atleast the hotel gives you a parking pass so you can park for free. Go check in before you park so you can get the pass.

Friendly Staff
Room 208 - Had a shower issue. Could not get it to turn on without feeling like you were going to pull it out of the wall. Spoke to someone and they came to the room and we ended up getting it to work. I mentioned that they should not rent this room until that is fixed. My only complaint. LOVED the location, room cute, hotel quaint,and FUN time!

Parking was atrocious and everyone told me “you can’t park here” but nobody gave us parking access assistance that was available! Loved the room and the price was about 30 dollars too high for the lack of amenities! No access to Tampa Rays tickets or Vy-Star C. U. Anywhere South of residential location. Might return, but probably not soon! Steven McLeskey. Room 308!

Extremely dated hotel with a nasty shower.
Pros: Front staff was very friendly and it's in the heart of St. Pete. Cons: Super gross shower, VERY noisy public/pay parking lot right outside your window, and hotel parking is in a parking garage a block away so getting your bags to and from the hotel sucks!

Historic Charm
The Cordova Inn was a very quaint older hotel that had updated the rooms and bathrooms, while maintaining the historic charm. The hotel was convenient to local restaurants and other entertainment. The staff was wonderful and greeted me on arrival.

Property is old and I am OK with that. Parking is a couple blocks away and not a convenience. They charge a resort fee of $30, but a resort it is not. No pool, spa or anything related to a resort. I was told it would be deducted from my account because it appeared to be nothing less than a money grab by the property management. I learned later that it was not taken off my bill. When walking into the room, it had a strong musty basement smell due to dirty filter and coils on the window air conditioner unit. Luckily, I travel with good air freshener since I stay in hotels rooms over 200 days a year and bad smells are a constant because animals stay in hotels now. The bathroom has an old tub with a curtain surrounding all sides. As soon as the water is turned on the curtain sticks to your rear end and is cold and uncomfortable. The area around the toilet smelled of urine and could have used a thorough cleaning with bleach to return it to a sanitary condition. The electrical outlets on the baseboards did not work and I was unable to turn on the bedside light or charge my phone overnight. I slept great and enjoyed a fantastic cup of coffee and a muffin at the lobby coffee counter. Barista was fun to chat with. Location of property is centrally located so I decided not to stay at this hotel any longer and walked over to the Vinoy to stay 2 additional nights.
