“Good location, lovely old bldg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Just stayed one night while in town to have dinner with friends. Valet parking is required unless you can find parking on the street. The lobby is rather small, but very lovely with the old marble from the original hotel (1925). There is onsite breakfast for about $9 in the bar area. I believe the bar is open in the evening until about 10 pm. Our room was very large - king bed, refrig and flat screen TV. The bathroom was also very large. A couple of complaints though. There was a slight cigarette smell to the bathroom. That is maybe why the windows were left open when it was in the 40s outside. To heat up the room we ran the heater for a short time. It is rather noisy - just a lot of blowing noise. It worked fine and the room was comfortable once it got warm. The refrig started making a noise during the night which woke us up so that had to be unplugged.Upon checking out we were not asked about our stay or how things were. I did not bother to mention anything to the clerk.

“Good and friendly place with reliable Marriott name”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

My husband and I stayed recently at this Marriott because we were disenchanted with other St Pete choices and knew we could count on the Marriott reputation. We were fortunate to get in when we made the reservation 6 months early because of a 1/2 marathon race during the weekend. Many thanks to a staff member for working us in! We took advantage of the senior rate and had a very clean and welcoming room for 3 nights. Our young granddaughters joined us on the last night, and the sofa bed proved to work well for them. Many thanks to all the staff members who helped us with our room arrangements, upkeep, breakfast, directions to local spots, and parking. We will definitely stay again!

“Perfect respite!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

I checked in to the Mariott while my husband was in the hospital at Bayfront. Sadly, I waited until I literally couldn't stand another minute at the neighbor hotel, The Hollander. The Mariott was spotlessly clean, the room fantastic, quiet, great staff and best of all, they offered a special due to my husband's medical situation.

We will return to this gem of a hotel and recommend it highly.
It would be nice if there were a place to grab a coffee or sandwich but another great find, the cafe at the All Children's Hospital. Believe it or not, they had fantastic food and very inexpensive.

Room Tip: My room was on a higher floor and away from the street so there was zero road noise.

“Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel Debbie at the front desk is awesome. Thanks to Candy at the bar she is warm and welcoming after a hard days of work. The rooms are large and very clean which considering the age of the hotel is wonderful. Marco is willing to shuttle you around St. Petersburg with a smile. The work out room is large enough for the hotel I have stayed here many nights and have not had to wait on equipment. Thanks for making my hotel stay friendly and warm.

“Standard Courtyard with a Nostalgic Feel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

Our room was large, clean and had the usual Courtyard feel and furniture. You know what you are getting. This is an historical hotel which has a nostalgic kind of 30s - 40s feel to it which we liked. Gives it some charm. Several of the reviews I read mention that it is not in a good area. We had no problems. Parked right on the street by the entrance and left the car overnight. Quiet and convenient. It was only a 10 minute walk to the restaurant area and the water. We always like having the snack bar when we come back from a day of walking or after dinner for a little dessert. The only real suggestion I would give is to either position the tv closer to the bed or have a bit larger tv as it is kind of a distance when viewing from the bed.
