Well, The property was not up to the standards as marketed. First of all I have never been in a Hotel as it is called, without a bar. That's how you have a vibe. Secondly, It was so called renovated in 1958 and it is still 1958 as it was a senior citizens residence as it still fills like. So called in 2015 became a spiritual retreat, healing and provides spiritual growth. There were no inferences to programs that would promote that. All in all. This could be a faboulous place but not up to expectations. :((

Will stay again!

This was such an inspiring stay! A piece of St Petersburg history restored. The food here was your standard fare for a B&B, you can order cooked to order eggs, omeleted etc. Fresh fruit was avaialbe and the coffee wasnt bad. The rooms are nicely appointed, the beds are comfortable, and clean. We were in town for a funeral and this gave us a comfortable place to land at the end of each busy day. I will stay here again. Thank you to the care team, for 4 days of hospitality and kindness.
