Liked: Cleanliness
Terrible location. Very unclear parking situation. Valet only and no one around. Finally found the one guy who advised there was other parking blocks away for $25 opposed to their $40 charge. Then my wife tripped and fell over a large curb. The nice attendant remarked that they have problems with that. THEN the “lobby” is on the 3rd floor of the building. Room wasn’t great either. Needed a place near the children’s hospital. Will have to find a different one.

Hotel is really nice. It's not top level, but it has everything you might need. The lobby area has free coffee/tea/hot chocolate at all times along with bananas, oranges and apples. They have 3 balcony area. 1 small, 1 with a lounge pool (1 foot deep with lounge chairs in it), and another with a few tables to hang out. There's free ice and water machines with a water bottle refill station. Theres a small gym if you'd like to use it. The lobby also has many little cozy areas to hang out. They have couches, egg chairs, pool table, games, and a few other things including a arcade machine. You can hang out there and enjoy people if you'd like. The lobby also includes many convenient stuff for purchase like snacks, drinks, water bottles, wine, sandwiches, etc. Breakfast was ok, they have the standard cereal, oat meal, automatic pancake maker, eggs, sausages, bagels, juices, coffee, tea, yogurt machine, and hard boiled eggs. Nothing crazy but does the job. Wish they had more things for the oat meal. Only thing they had when i was there was brown sugar and dried cranberries. They should add chocolate chips or other fruit, i feel like that would make it more complete. One last thing, parking is not free. If you use valet, it's 40 per night. I used the lot next to the hotel and it came out to around $18 for the night, but if i had know that I probably would have gone with another hotel that included self parking for free. The area is nice, nothing fancy but close enough to all the fu

I would like to take a moment to provide feedback regarding my recent stay at Tru By Hilton St Petersburg Downtown While I must commend the staff for their exceptional service, I unfortunately had a rather uncomfortable experience due to the condition of the mattresses in my room. They appeared to have several dips and sunk in many places, which made it difficult for me to get a good night's sleep. I found myself having to sleep on the edge of the mattress, which was not ideal. Given this experience, I regret to say that I cannot recommend this hotel based on my stay. I believe that addressing the mattress issue could significantly improve the comfort for future guests.
