It’s definitely a party resort. DJs playing loud music all day on weekends, girls walking around in thong bikinis getting wasted. Would not recommend for kids or someone wanting to relax. Someone set off the fire alarm at 4am and everyone had to evacuate the rooms. I will not be going back

The Postcard is a great place to stay in St. Pete. It is in a great location and has everything you need on the property. The rooms are outdated but clean. The beds are comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower is awesome. The courtyard area and the pool are beautiful. Beach loungers are included, but you need to pay for umbrellas. If you are not looking for the party scene, stay at the pool area or find something to do on Saturday. The beach got packed, and the bar was shoulder to shoulder from 2 - 7 PM. The music was loud and the crowd was big. We moved to the pool area at 3 PM, which was perfect. The rest of our stay was great. The food in the lobby restaurant was delicious. The staff was attentive and always present if you needed anything. They provided bagged ice for free, free parking passes, and easy access wristbands to unlock rooms. We will definitely be back.

I spent 9 nights 10 days at PCI. The staff is incredible. They are there for everything i needed. From maid to grounds crew to both the indoor & outdoor bars and beach personnel. Part of my stay involved the last weekend of spring break which was party central. I'll know not to stay during this time because I'm older and this is not my crowd. The last week of my stay was more my speed and I really enjoyed it. I would definitely return. Thanks to everyone at PCI

We've visited Postcard Inn several times over the last 10 years and we were floored by the condition of the rooms this time. There was nothing on the walls, no decor or color anywhere in the room, just stark white walls and sheets. It felt like a solitary confinement hospital room. The tub was chipped and rusted, the toiletries were mix-and-matched random brands with some on the sink and some in the tub where they'd broken off the wall holder, the small fridge in the corner was beat up and old, and the lone, tiny wooden stool wasn't even big enough to put a suitcase on. The bed springs screeched so loud every time we moved at all on the bed. The window "view" was of a huge shipping container in the parking lot. When we asked for a different room, we were told they all looked like this because the hotel is renovating. I can't believe they would allow the rooms to be used as is, and should absolutely have a disclaimer on their site that what you see and what you get are nothing alike. In addition, their site should acknowledge that this is a party "Spring Break" style hotel, with loud techno music at the tiki hut all day and a hundred people dancing and drinking, not the vibe you'd want if your goal was to relax by the pool. All the staff we encountered were warm and friendly, so our issues are not with staff but with the actual condition of the rooms and the fact they are charging obscene rates for what is not above a Motel 6 room.

This property has so much potential. Great location and I see what they’re trying to do but not sure they have the right management . The rooms are very dirty , old , moldy . A lot of things didn’t work, such as lamps , shower handle was broken , no hot water , and hotel door wouldn’t lock.

Such a cute place. The room was clean, but in need of updating. Several floor tiles were cracked and room was very "worn". Pool area was terrific. We stayed two nights and was disappointed that housekeeping brought in clean towels, but didn't put them in the bathroom- just left them on the sofa, and beds were not remade. Overall, it was a good experience.

Beautiful place and location, beware the party
Myself, my husband and our almost 15 year old spent 4 days at this lovely and cool place. It is very pretty, spacious and has probably the nicest layout with a large pool and right out to the beach. The amenities were great including food offered. (Cookies can be spotted in the afternoon near the front desk…) Caveat !!! If you have a teenager or are looking for quiet - do not book on Saturday/Sundays. They have a PCI party from 2-10 with DJs and it is full ON party between the pool and beach. My son was so uncomfortable and made do but it is debauchery. Sunday wasn’t as bad as Saturday so if you have to make your arrival on the weekend go for it!

Great place! I wanted a quiet getaway but also wanted to be near some action so it was the best of both worlds! The breakfast inside the hotel was great and the rice bowl and quesadilla at the outdoor bar was fantastic. It is also really nice to be able to walk to other places to eat like Crabby Bills and The Boulevard Burger.
