Ponce de Leon Hotel

Terrible, elevators and hallways smell so bad, furniture and decoration is very outdated. Terrible experience. I couldn’t even stay the night, I checked out after 1 hour. Definitely over price.

It was perfect little spot fora 1 night trip.

Unique sweet and clean! Wonderful location on the water. Walking distance to everything! The rooms are minimalist and furniture is extremely worn. Very clean rooms and amazing staff. We will always stay here! ❤️

Stained old furniture. Mattress was old. Linens were cheap. Felt like a scene from a horror movie. Embarrassing

The hotel is very outdated. I was also charged $5 for soda that I did not take. I have been told I will get a refund but if I had not checked my bank statement I would not have known. Shady.

This property is at the perfect location but that’s the only thing perfect about it. Although it was fairly clean, the property is run down despite the lobby’s looks. I had 3 people in a double room. Two of us were fairly big men. Our bathroom was the size of a closet, and not a walk-in closet. You couldn’t use the sink unless you stood in the room. Paint jobs were incomplete. Curtains had holes in them throughout. Shades had weird stains on them, so we didn’t want to touch them. The beds were ok but not the greatest. And the elevator was something out of the 80s. About 2-3 people could fit and we said a prayer each time we got on in hopes it made it. This property is ok in a pinch for one night. Anything longer than that, stay somewhere else.

Please be aware that there is no on-site parking available as stated in the description. I would not have booked this room had I known in advance that there was no on-site parking. The closest parking garage was about a block and a half away. We were with a group, so I wasn’t too concerned about safety, but had I been traveling solo, no on-site parking would have been a no-go for me to park and walk at night from the parking garage. Also, be aware that every room is different from each other and not as seen in the photos in the description and some rooms have VERY small bathrooms. The property was clean and the staff were very pleasant.

We loved everything about it! We knew what we were getting into with a 100 year old historic hotel right in the middle of everything, so things being old wasn't an issue, it was expected, the noise was tolerable and again, expected, and we cohld walk everywhere we needed to go, including our concert at the pier. I loced all the fun colors and hard wood floors. If i had to find a fault it would be that the bathroom in our room was very small and the internet went out around 2 am lol but normal people probably wouldn't have noticed that. Overall it was exactly what we needed and a great experience.

OK so I didn’t expect the four seasons, but I did expect more. I chose this hotel, because of his proximity to the pier which by the way is fantastic. I checked out surrounding hotels, and this one was priced lower than most but not by far. We arrived a short time before our concert only to find out parking is public parking in a public lot blocks away or metered parking on the street. We called over to the hotel next-door and the Holiday Inn allowed us to pay for valet parking on the other side of the block. check-in was very quick and easy. The room however left much to be desired. The room could not have been bigger than 20 x 20 with a full size bed even though I purchased a queen. The bathroom was 5‘ x 4‘. You literally have to exit the bathroom to pull your pants back up. The shower ran hot and cold intermittently. Oh that said, the location is phenomenal. If you’re going out for a concert on the pier or to head to Saint Pete clubs, this place is perfect. Just keep your expectations low.
