The Inn on Third is an amazing place to stay. Every time I travel to St. Petersburg, I stay here. The Inn is very clean and close (walking distance) to all restaurants, nightlife, and entertainment.
Great place to stay for a solo traveler. Owners were amazing and helpful. Walking distance from shoreline restaurants as well as museums. Safe area. While you shouldn't expect the sterile 24/7 convenience of a hotel, I enjoyed the feeling of staying at a friend's house the Inn provides.
The inn was perfect and the proprietor was friendly and extremely attentive and helpful. Loved the convenience of being near tons of restaurants and night life.
