The architecture was really cool! It was nice to see the art deco designs still existing in the hotel. I had everything I needed in the hotel room, not too fancy. It was just right. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip to Saint Petersburg.

Great staff. Fixtures, Furniture, and Decor are very worn and dated. The location is perfect and priced low for the area. It's clean and safe. More of a place to crash after a night out in downtown Pete.
