Building is very interesting structure that has been a part of St. Petersburg for almost 100 years. It is a weil maintained building. Reminds me of the boarding houses that are in old movies. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the complementary beer in evening and breakfast in the common area. It was apparent that the owner is proud of his motel. We were staying there due to activities at our home in Seminole. As a 40 year resident of the area, we have an interest in the history of “old” structures in St. Petersburg. It is nice that a place like the Inn on 3rd Ave is still here and going strong. Highly recommend this place to stay.

The price was right. Had an appreciation for an old building however, the walls should be painted and the trim in our bedroom, chipped up paint and fingerprints on the door and the trim. Definitely can use a fresh coat of paint. Owners were very friendly and accommodating.
