Very nice hotel. The room felt updated but still retained the historic feel. Very friendly and helpful. I liked that the room “key” was a code pad.

I liked the easy timely contactless check-in, all very smooth. Meeting the staff was much more pleasurable, from Cassandra at the front desk to the house cleaning staff friendly and professional services, Mr.Burns GM, and of course Jesse Lee who quickly came to my aid when I left a phone in friends car and worked with me calling, texting, and just getting it done as quickly and smoothly as possible while fixing my shower which simply need a turn of a bracket. The breakfast buffet was great! Fresh, abundant, tasty. Coffee and tea service 24/7. Rooms larger than average and good pillows, mattress and linens. I loved strolling along Boca Ciega Bay or finding little coffee houses like Mrs. G's! Treasure Island right over the causeway... John's Pass, Mad Beach just laid back and really good food at Scullys on the water. Will return for the ease, hospitality and a bit of old Florida charm at the historic hotel.

Clean large room, easy access on the main floor, healthy options for breakfast, friendly and helpful staff; one drawback was we were on the pet friendly floor (I didn't realize that when I booked and had requested a verandah room) and we occasionally were woken by dogs barking in the hotel.
