Stayed there for weekend with GF to see St. Pete and catch a rays game. The location is ideal for walking, never used the car. The hotel is older and not up to date, but clean and comfortable. Acoustics is a problem, as every sound outside can be heard.

We always return to this jewel. Staff is super friendly, and helpful. The hotel is in the middle of town and bay; so it offers a great variety of things to do. We come back every year for the Indy Racing event. Great location for it!!! Not a fan for car racing? come any other time, you will have a... More

Called the hotel 3 months ago. Was told our room was $200 a night. Was over charged ($250) a night. Our room was never serviced, for $250 a night. Our room was disgusting. Our bathtub didn't drain and our toilet didn't flush. They deactivated our room keys a night early. staff has no idea what they are doing. They also... More

I dont know how anybody found anything negative to say about this place. Staff was excellent. Location could not be beat. Rooms were clean. All i needed was a place to crash after a concert at Jannus and was more than satisfied. If you are staying on a Friday night, be sure to check out the farmers market a block... More

I've stayed at this hotel many times before, and will again. The big draw (a tie) is LOCATION and THE STAFF. Can't get any more centrally located, and the staff is more than friendly. I know all of them by name, and they always remember me. The rooms are small, and minimally furnished-- more than adequate. When I come back,... More

I don't know where the negative reviewed stayed, but I feel it was a completely different hotel. The Ponce De Leon is a beautiful little place. The first night I checked in my flight had been delayed 2 hours but the staff was totally cool about it, and had all of my check in stuff ready. I was settled in... More

The hotel is conveniently located in a walking distance to the Dali Museum, restaurants, bars and shops. Service was friendly and efficient. The room was clean and offered all the amenities I needed during my stay. Every time I ate at Ceviche (the restaurant from the hotel) the food was excellent and the ambiance very inviting.

My husband and I stayed one night just to experience downtown St Pete at a reasonable price. We were pleased with our choice. We had a fifth floor corner room that was clean and well decorated. Guests need to be aware that the hotel does not have parking. The metered street parking in front of the hotel is free from... More

I almost cancelled my reservation here after reading some particularly harsh reviews here on trip advisor. I took a chance on this hotel and I'm glad I did. It's positioned as a "boutique" hotel, but the only boutique elements I could identify were the decor and somewhat unusual design sensibility, paint colors etc.. The bed was comfortable and I slept... More
