Cordova Inn

Quirky 100 year old hotel with claw foot tubs and rocking chairs in the front porch. Exceptionally friendly staff, an easy walk to the pier and parking garage nearby.

I was in St. Petersburg for a wedding on what turned out to be a very busy weekend. The hotel was conveniently located and very affordable. My main issue was noise, both from the window air conditioner and the street noise. My room was at the front of the hotel and there was a lot of noise. I would recommend a room towards the back of the hotel.

Quaint, historical hotel in downtown St. Pete. Free parking at a nice garage less than a block away. Some construction going on now, so can be noisy during the day. Three floors but no elevator, so be prepared to climb stairs (not a problem for us). Cute coffee shop/bar. Stopped for drinks at night and the bartender was excellent. If you love historical buildings, this one is adorable. Loved the historical photography throughout.

I liked the front Porch with rockers Did not like the small bathroom.

It was in a great location and the staff was very nice. The hotel itself is very run down, mattress was lumpy and noisy, sink was cracked, bathroom was very tiny.

As long as you understand that this is a historic building & will not likely present with modern comforts, this is an amazing hotel; small & quaint. The location is SO great w/many shops & restaurants within just a few blocks & very close to the newly developed St Pete’s pier which has a small sandy beach. There is live music in most directions & it’s a vibrant area of St. Petersburg. The hotel lobby & bar itself is quite a vibe; quaint & full of energy. I found the parking quite convenient (you get an electronic key card for a garage around the corner). Even on a day of a huge community event that blocked off streets & the park adjacent to the hotel, we still found room to park in the garage. Just know, this is a historic building. There are stairs to climb (no elevator), a lot of the fixtures and windows appear original. If you’re in a room that faces the street, it’s pretty noisy. You can hear the activity in the lobby and bar and guests were enjoying the beautiful porch late into the evening and we could hear all the conversations. The street traffic can be noisy as well. We did not mind this and I assume it would be more quiet towards the middle and the back of the hotel. The rooms need some TLC but they are cute. The beds are very comfortable! The bathrooms are small/functional, shower is precarious; a piped shower in a small footed bathtub that was challenging to climb in & out of. But great service, perfect location, quaint experience, I would definitely return!

We enjoyed our stay at this historical hotel. The vibes in the lobby were great. Upbeat, fun and welcoming. 10/10

The Cordova Inn is a historic hotel, 3 floors, staff friendly, accommodations unique. Room was clean. Be aware that there are 3 different bathroom styles. We had a claw foot tub with a shower and it was difficult to get in and out of the tub. Small bathroom. Other bathrooms either have a walkin shower or shorter tub. Also, construction next door, which was loud starting about 7am.

Service was so so. I felt that we were being looked down on because we did not dress up and because we had a motorcycle. Also, I was woken up at 1:30am due to construction and couldn't go back to sleep. We cut our stay short because of these reasons.
