This is an Historic hotel in the center of the heartbeat of St Pete bayfront scene. It is within walking distance of everything you could possibly need to do for a successful vacation, and within convenient driving or shuttle distance from most every other venue. Of course this hotel is dated, it is an historic landmark of mission revival architecture... More

We have stayed here twice just for an overnight get away each time. First time we got a double on the back side of the hotel. Noise was not a factor there. Next time we got a queen. I would definitely spend the extra money for a queen. The queen was on the 6th floor overlooking central ave. Noise from... More

I read ALL the reviews I could find on this place before booking. Stayed New Year's Eve. We had a Studio room. One double bed...one Murphy bed. First impressions? I liked the charm. We had two other friends who also booked rooms, and each room was different. Rooms were clean. Restuarant downstairs was good.Lots of cool things within walking distance.... More

The hotel was dirty, loud, and smelled bad. I found a nasty pair of underwear under the bed, and our bed was actually broken on the left side. The bar on the first floor was very loud, in fact, we heard people talking all night long. We were on the 5th floor and we could hear every word as clear... More

I wish I'd been warned...this place is truly awful. After checking in, I took the elevator to my floor. The door opened to a very dark hallway which smelled awful. Dank, dirty. I got into my room to find no dresser or anywhere to put my luggage (not even a bench or stand) so I was forced to leave it... More

I stayed here this year and last year in order to run the Women's Half Marathon. The hotel is in a perfect area and walking distance from many lovely shops and restaurants. I was able to walk to the race expo and the start and finish line for the race was about 3 blocks away. The room was small but... More

The Ponce de Leon dates back to the 1920s when St. Pete was in its Art Deco/land boom age. There are still touches of this; my room had original moldings, a real closet, and an old chandelier whose arms didn't quite line up. The furniture was cheap new stuff. On the first afternoon, there was an overwhelming smell of disinfectant... More

I guess you pay for what you get. My tiny room smelled really old and moldy. It smelled like ancient building you take tours through when learning about history. Out side the rooms were hot and smelled like a bunch of people’s stinky cooking. I had to buy Febreze but that didn't help much. The attendant told me it would... More
