Cordova Inn

This hotel is adorable!! Love the decor and the vibe. Great place to stay is you are seeing a show at Jannus Landing.

They charged us $30 for a resort/amenities fee but there were no amenities. Also, construction started outside of our window (literally) five feet from our window at 8 am. The staff were very gracious which made the experience much better.

Well, the picture of the hotel certainly calls out charm and grace. Upon entering the property, the lobby area is small, nicely decorated, comforting and inviting. We knew the property had no elevators, so the walk up 2 flights of stairs to our room wasn't unexpected or difficult. The room had issues, though. The shades on the windows were ripped and would not roll or unroll easily; the clawfoot bathtub looked cool, but that sentiment ended when taking a shower. The curtain did not entirely enclose the tub; there is not place to put soap or shampoo bottles. Bathroom lighting is too dim for my wife to do her makeup. The main room was not much better. The TV had lots of channels, but there was no guide to quickly see what's playing. And parking was a block and a half away. I believe the building that's going up next door is an expansion, and promises to be modern. I'd hold off staying here until the expansion is done and you're guaranteed a room in that building. The staff, though, was extremely helpful, pleasant, courteous, and professional. The bartender makes an awesome Manhattan. The charm is nice, but the room didn't meet my minimum expectations. I'll pass on this hotel going forward.

The location was excellent and the bar/coffee shop (The Scott) in the reception area is a very comfortable spot to relax in. There is construction next door and the street can be noisy so if you are a light sleeper, ask for a room in the back of the building.

Probably one of the most enjoyable stays I have had at any hotel. The general ambiance of the entire place is relaxing and welcoming. The cherry on top of my stay was the staff. They were so cool, nice & helpful. From Mr. Joshua checking on my ETA on the ride over, to checking in with Slav once I arrived who was so cool and welcoming. The staff had me smiling until I the time I checked out with Kayla. Anytime I am ever staying in St. Petersburg, it is the Cordova I will be calling home.

Would recommend this place- the staff is 12/10!! Kayla went above and beyond to help us out! Only downside is construction on the new portion, which will be lovely. Would definitely recommend. The bar area and front porch are divine

Staff was amazing! Hotel was very nice and festively decorated for the holidays. Staff made us feel welcome and it was a great intimate setting. Awesome choice if you want something different than all the cookie cutter chain hotels! Definitely coming back!

The Cordova Inn was historic which is what prompted me to choose it and it's closeness to Jannus Live for a show. Loved the sitting area in the lobby bar and the front porch. We had a great time. Kayla kept up updated on things via text and Slav was an amazing host getting us checked in for our stay. Can't wait for the expansion.

Very friendly staff and beautiful parlor and cocktail bar. I did find out that they have rooms with showers and not just claw tubs. I will definitely stay there again!
