Top Willis S. Johns Center Hotel Reviews

Avalon Hotel Downtown St. Petersburg

8/10 Good

"So the room was really small, very cute but small. So we spent time in the cool lobby, or on the patio out front. Very comfy and cozy. Enjoyed the included cocktail hour and used the facilities including the pool at the adjacent sister property. Walking distance to the night life and pier made for a convenient and comfortable walk. Best part was a short 15min drive to Pass-a-grille Beach. That beach was amazing, somehow it avoided the rain by the hotel and though we could see the clouds and hear the thunder, it never rained on the beach. Weirdest and coolest thing during 4th of July weekend."

Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This historic hotel in downtown St Petersburg is a gem. The old wooden floors, the great pictures of the city’s history are just the beginning. The rooms are clean and bright, beds are very comfortable, and they offer free on site parking which is rare in a city setting. The staff is super friendly and can’t do enough for you. The Tap Room restaurant and bar is great. 21 craft beers on tap, a huge wine list, and 5 star food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Did I mention the pool with cabanas and an outdoor bar to boot. You have got to go there, we have been several times and will definitely be back. So GO already!"
