Top Mahaffey Theater Hotel Reviews

Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"Has all the amenities with a Publix out the back gate and coffee shop inside hotel. Bar tender was amazing and helpful with ideas of what to do"

The Inn on Third

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Over priced for quality but"

Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Super close to the ball park which is why we were there. the roof top pool was fantastic. Lots of great restaurants and shops that were walking distance. Very clean and staff was great. room was small but super comfy and clean. blanket on the bed was thin, but bed was very comfortable."

Uptown Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Stay Dates: September 6 – September 10 I checked in on September 6 and stayed through September 10. My check-in time was 3:00 PM, but I didn't arrive until around 9:30 PM. The person at the front desk was professional, courteous, and incredibly helpful. She made the process smooth and stress-free, which I truly appreciated after a long day. I had originally been booked in a room with two beds — not her fault — but since I was exhausted, I checked myself in without making a fuss. The next day, after work, I learned they were going to keep me in the same room. I explained that I preferred something different, and the same staff member said, "Let me see what I can do." She worked her magic again, and within minutes, she walked me upstairs and opened the door to Room 132. As soon as I stepped in, I said, "This is perfect." It was a corner room, away from other guests, quiet, and free from annoying lights shining through the windows. It gave me the peace I needed after long shifts. Final Thoughts: This may not be a five-star hotel, and the rooms could use some remodeling. The neighborhood wasn't bad either. But what made it a five-star experience for me was the staff, the atmosphere, the surroundings, and the people. Because I never forgot where I came from. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) Would I stay again? Yes — especially if the same staff member is working the front desk."
