Top Downtown St. Petersburg Hotel Reviews

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente atención al cliente."

Hotel Alba, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Restaurant was good for dinner & breakfast although a bit pricey for dinner. Nice boutique hotel feel. King room was great but Simon’s in the bedroom, not behind bathroom door. 7th floor hallway was a bit dark - needs more lighting. Parking when an event was taking place was challenging. Very convenient to 275. Shopping and food nearby."

Clearwater Beach Sheraton Resort on Sand Key

8/10 Good

"My husband and I have stayed at the Sheraton for over 20 years consecutively for our anniversary. Some of the recent changes have us questioning if we will return. The cost for parking and ancillary hotel fees were new to us this time and really add up. The cost for the beach chairs and umbrellas have doubled over the years. The poolside cafe has been replaced with a food truck and the shop inside that once offered beach clothing and various other items was dark. Nobody could tell me why or even if the shop would return. Our room was clean upon arrival, room service was on time and food was good. The air conditioner was extremely loud. Music by the pool was extremely loud which was a personal boom box of one of the guests. Just not the professional facility we have experienced in the past and more costly. One final comment, midway through our stay, we attempted to pay on our bill that was accumulating related to the hotel daily costs. We were told they could not accept it until the end of our stay."

Hyatt Place St. Petersburg / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend this hotel if you're planning a stay in St. Pete. This hotel was perfect...the staff was very friendly and helpful and our room was nice (clean and spacious and the bed was very comfy). However, our favorite thing about this hotel was the location. It is right in the heart of St. Pete and we could walk to everything. It was nice because this was a romantic staycation and we were able to go out and have cocktails at night without having to pay for an uber. There was literally no place that we wanted to go that wasn't within walking distance! One note...parking is expensive. You can save a little money by parking in a parking deck. There are several very close to the hotel."
