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.

Historic property in a great location. Large comfortable room. Reception was friendly and helpful. Thought the prices were comparable to others in the area. We could walk everywhere we wanted to in St. Pete and boy did we walk. My only criticism would be there was no breakfast available. The hotel had 3 floors and no elevator which I could see as problematic for some guests. We would consider staying here again.

Hotel was nice and very clean , but there was construction of their new hotel expansion next to us and the view was not nice. While it's a historic hotel the bathtub was difficult to get in because is antique. I also wish they had a morning coffee and pastries in the morning . Nice place though.

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.

6/10

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.

Great location and happy with room. Hotel staff did a good job, but customer service after is horrible. Parking is supposed to be included. We were billed by the garage for parking. I have called (got voicemail), I sent an email to the hotel, I sent an email to Hotels.com and I sent a txt. No reply on any. Mistakes happen, but it’s hard to go back when you feel like you’re ignored. Beware.

The Cordova is a great hotel, it has a nice old world feel with all the modern conveniences that you might need. I found everything clean and the area quiet. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I’m looking forward to staying there again whenever I visit Tampa or St. Petersburg area

Wonderful staff, at the front desk & at the bar. So friendly & helpful, very welcoming! The hotel seems to be in need of a bit of an update - very creaky bed, toilet kept running, bathtub/shower probably needed to be redone/updated. Overall great location & cozy stay, just could use a few updates & some sprucing.

Coffee Maker, ceiling fan, toilet roll dispenser were broke. Check in service was all that existed. No luggage stand, parking is 2 block away. The shower was small, but looked dirty. Not what I expected for this price! Front porch is awesome!

Good location, great bar and happy hour. Room was OK - its dated. Bathroom is small. We were on the first floor and it was very noisy. P.S. - No tissues in the room.

4/10

Overall not worth what the price per night was. Terrible privacy between rooms(single door separation), covered up windows, half cleaned bathroom, window shaker ac unit, morning staff not around for service. Wish we would have spent this money at another establishment in the area.

The Cordova Inn is a charming boutique hotel dating back to 1921. The location is excellent, the staff friendly and professional. Only two negatives come to mind: Most windows are effectively blanked out, creating a bit of a cave-like feeling to the room. Secondly, window air conditioners rather than central. Both these issued will be rectified when the hotel's expansion is completed later this year.

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.

6/10

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.

Black mold in bathroom, looks like 10 coats of paint on walls, windows painted shut, out let’s don’t work, no light bulbs in lamps, AC window units blades caked with dirt, old and decrepit……dingy, dingy, dingy. They moved us to a different room on the second night because I’m allergic to mold. The bathroom was better and did not have mold, but everything was still very dingy and rundown.
