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.
Ashley, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tiny bathroom - you might hit your head on the sink trying to wipe. Shower had less water pressurre than my 90 y/o grandpa trying to take a leak. Got a $55 ticket trying to drop off my luggage!!

Very nice staff, good location, and overall cute property. Beds were very uncomfortable and blinds did not cover the window spaces, so it was bright early.

Great location in historic hotel

Cordova Inn was a great experience for us with spacious rooms, historic charm and super location within walking distance to St. Pete Pier. Staff was very friendly, parking convenient and the local bar added life to the lobby and front porch.

Patrick Joseph, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Me and my boyfriend were very comfortable at the Cordova in. It was very cozy and we felt safe. It was worth the price. The Bar was supposed to be open 8am-😭10pm but when we woke up on Sunday at 10am the bar still wasn’t open and we were looking forward to their coffee :/. Their front porch was very nice everything was clean. Very close walkable distance from and very nice AMC theater, Ruth’s Chris, a lot of other bars and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend and stay again!
Jasmine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice effort to preserve the old hotel atmosphere, great staff. Lamp didn't work and alarm went off at 5, which suggests a need for better attention to maintenance and housekeeping.
Lora, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very nice, check in easy and location great. Room was very nice. We did have an issue with the water pressure from the shower head (not high enough to even wash my hair). I reported the problem to the front desk and hopefully they will fix the problem. We only stayed 1 night, so I don't know if the problem was resolved.
Ellen, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Before 7:00 am, we were awakened by a construction crew. No elevator so struggled with getting suitcase up to the third floor.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was old and tired no Elevator so be prepared to walk three stories. Staff was not friendly. There was mold in the bathroom along the tub area. Mattress was in poor condition. No room darkening curtains very noisy spot. Would not stay there again.

Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good

Overall the stay was good. I knew it was a historic hotel so I always have an open minded view of what to expect. Everything was good with the exception that the room that I stayed in was the first room (Room 108) as you enter the hallway from the lobby. You can literally hear everything happening in the lobby. There's a small kitchen and a coffee shop right there. That was the only issue.

Nice hotel with paranormal activity

We were awakened early to the sound of the major domo ghost moving chairs down the hallway. Hotel in the middle of the block, not sure what classified as a "resort" for a $30 a day charge. Bar next door is great with rotating food trucks.
DONNA, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved our stay over the weekend! The staff were friendly and recommended great choices for dining options especially late night food! We enjoyed grabbing a cocktail from the bar and sitting on the front porch! We were there to enjoy a festival at Vinoy Park and it was an easy 15 min walk through a safe atmosphere. They are adding on so there is construction but that didnt bother us one bit. Love the old world charm of the hotel and cant wait to stay here again in the future!
