We enjoyed staying here for a Rays game, parking was easy and the walk to the Trop was great, very close to restaurants and the pier.

Was a great long weekend staying here while I looked at apartments in St. Petersburg. A little cozy but great location, close to downtown and also not a far walk from other lively areas. It's in a quiet building.
