Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spectacular front desk staff and what a treat in the restaurant. We ate both a dinner as well as breakfast on the front porch."

Holiday Inn Express St. Petersburg North (I-275) by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the quietness and very clean."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, St. Petersburg - Clearwater, FL

8/10 Good

"Fitness equipment needs to be fixed"

Sleep Inn & Suites St Petersburg Gateway

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay. My check-in was fast and friendly. The room was very nice. I was able to enjoy my jetted tub and it was amazing. The staff was helpful. I would definitely stay here again."

Super 8 by Wyndham St. Petersburg

8/10 Good

"The continental breakfast left much to be desired. The only yogurt option was strawberry banana, which I couldn't eat due to an allergy. The milk for the cereal was beginning to spoil, which was clearly noticeable by its odor. While the spread included cereal, oatmeal, waffles, toast, and bagels—complete with butter, cream cheese, jelly, and peanut butter—the addition of hot options like eggs, sausage, or bacon would have made a significant difference."

Comfort Inn & Suites Northeast - Gateway

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"
