A complete failure in hospitality, avoid at all costs My partner and I arrived Friday for a special weekend, as I planned to propose. We noted this in our reservation. Instead of a memorable stay, we were met with neglect and unprofessionalism. The front desk attendant was on a personal call for three minutes before checking us in. Our room was unbearably hot, the AC barely worked, and the bathroom was covered in limescale. Hair from a previous guest was in the bed and shower. When we reported the heat, we were told to “give it time.” We tried, cold showers, lowering the thermostat, but it remained stifling. We left for dinner hoping it would improve. It didn’t. By 10 PM, there was no staff available to assist us. Some of my partner’s personal items were also missing from her bag. At 12 midnight, we gave up, booked a room at another hotel, and finally got working AC and basic cleanliness. We checked out the next morning. The room was still sauna-hot. This was, without question, the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had. We work in hospitality and expect the bare minimum, cleanliness, working AC, safety, and basic service. The Cordova Inn failed on all fronts. A full refund would be the least appropriate response. Until serious improvements are made, we strongly urge others to stay elsewhere.

Unique property in an excellent location. Hotel was within walking distance to many shops and restaurants as well as the Pier. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. The bathrooms are small (we had to move to a different room as the first room’s shower did not work). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bar and outdoor seating were a nice perk for a small hotel. The history alone makes this hotel a fun place to stay. Parking garage is a little bit of a walk, and Google maps does not lead you to the correct place when you enter the garage address; so listen to the hotel staff when they give your directions! Overall this was a great stay for the price on the holiday weekend!

Parking is 2 city blocks away. It is a quaint old place which also means 3 stories, no elevators. There is a small “bar” right inside the lobby, so when you go to check in everyone can stare at you. No one there seemed too concerned about anything. I’ve stayed here twice now. 2 and out.

We gave it a shot

Cute place at first but there a huge construction zone right next to it. Not a big deal - progress is a good thing. But checking in to our first room, the TV didn’t work - 4 universal remotes later it still didn’t work. Time for a new room. The next room the air didn’t work. The next the air worked but was only a small shower and not the requested tub. Same with the next room. Finally, a room on the second floor with air and tub. After moving everything again we rested well watching Amazon Prime Movies. The bed was good. In the morning, the tub was unevenly balanced so when standing in it to shower if you stepped forward it felt like the tub would fall over. ‘Why not take a bath instead?’ You might ask. Becuse thee stopped wouldn’t fit the drain hole so … no bath. Tiny pedestal sink with not much room for toiletries. The Inn is located in the middle of everything downtown St. Pete with access to a lot including a great AMC theater. We had to park in a parking garage two blocks away - Cordova validated the parking which was nice. It was an experience … probably won’t return because at almost 60 we need accommodations that are easier. Maybe one day we’ll try the boutique hotel thing again.

Needs improvements, Good location

The room needs basic improvements, mattress, bathroom curtains and curtain rails. There is no daily cleaning and coffee is not replenished. There is no dining room. There is a small bar, nice and with good service. Parking is nearby, secure and included in the room rate. The hotel has 3 floors, there is no elevator and the staff is not flexible or helpful as we are elderly and there are no elevators and no help with luggage, they should consider placing us on the lower levels. After 10:30 pm there is no reception but there is security and you enter with your room card. The hotel is well located and within walking distance to Central Ave and Beach Dr.

Worth it!

Love the antique style of the hotel. Love all of the history and the bar in the hotel is amazing! Delicious drinks and great bartender and atmosphere! Only complaint would be the shower/bathroom was incredibly small and the blow dryer was so old it tripped the outlet. Overall we would stay here again bc the good was better then the little things listed.
