If you want a place near to Tropicana Field, and/or the nightlife of downtown St Pete this is the place. It is clean, excellent staff, and was quiet for our two night weekend stay. I would say it's up to Hilton standards. However, the room was fairly small (by many standards) and the shower floor was slippery when wet with one grab bar --- certainly dangerous for older folks. The cost of (necessary) valet parking is high ($40 per day) --- but the valet staff is at your service 12/7.

Pleasant and modern

The room and hotel were clean and quiet. I enjoyed some time on the roof top terrace. I parked in a nearby lot instead of using the valet parking. It costs less, and makes it easier to make trips to the car, but is a bit of a pain to renew if staying two nights.

Small rooms. Surprised there was a small fridge but no microwave. Appreciate the fact that animals are allowed but $75 pet fee seems a bit excessive. Otherwise a great location. Very friendly staff.
