I paid online and the they charged my card an extra 165!!! dollars to stay in a hotel with tape holding the wallpaper up.The floors were so dirty you couldn’t take off your shoes. You better bring some slippers if you want to take a shower in that filthy tube. The only thing I recommend about this place is the photographer.

Originally I booked my room through Expedia and it mentioned nothing about an “old part” versus the “renovated part” when booking a room. I got to the Cordova and checked into my room (thankfully they let me do an early check in, so nice of them) however upon entering my “old” room there was a dehumidifier with an air freshener sticking through the vent, when taking a closer look the vents were covered in black mold. Walking into the room it smelled very musty and was very warm. I asked to view a room on the newer side and to my surprise it was 100% different, very nice, clean, cool AC, so I paid the difference to upgrade. Would highly recommend the updated side, but I do not recommend the older side. Renovations are not finished - rooftop bar and restaurant to come. Only thing missing with this property is a pool! Staff was great, they made the swap very smooth and not stressful. The concierge gentleman was very knowledgable and kind. Bartenders make great drinks!

Check in was very pleasant. Staff were very helpful!
When we got to our room (in the “ historic section”) it was on the first floor. We found it convenient for access.
Because it was in the historic section we could understand the age and some deteriorated parts of the facility and room. What upset me the most, for the price paid, were small things:
1. The lamps on the nightstand did not operate.
2. There was no remote for the TV to be found.
3. The shower curtain was a bit tattered.
4. There were ants in the bathroom.
5. There was no remote for the ceiling fan.

To be fair, we were too tired to call these items in to the front desk. I am sure as helpful as the staff were they would all been addressed.

We love old historic buildings and especially hotels. We were very excited to get a room in the \"old\" section of this hotel. They are currently updating the hotel and the new section is beautiful too but we enjoyed the room we were in. Exposed pipes overhead, high ceilings, plaster walls, and the old sash-style windows. The air worked great. The only negative in our particular room was a leak at the base of our pedestal sink. We tucked a little towel around it and we were fine. Delicious Expresso martinis and yummy complimentary Pete's bagels in the morning. Close to everything, we enjoyed our stay.

Drywall and plaster was in poor condition, smelled musty. The bar was adequate, could have had a better breakfast selection. Overall the price was too high for the state of the room.

In window air conditioner drops your score somewhat but not as much as having \"Nancy, my special concierge\" misrepresent her offer of a tour of the new addition. You should have more respect for your guests and tell them right away that the \"Tour\" is really a come on for a sales presentation for a vacation club. There are lots of couples who would indeed decide to come because it interests them. Other couples , not so much. In any case it cheapens your image when you resort to subterfuge to get someone to sign up. It is not consistent with the upscale image you are trying to present.

Do not stay at this hotel

We reported what appeared to be black mold in the bathroom of our room, which is a significant health concern, especially for a pregnant asthmatic. The only action taken by the staff was to have housekeeping wipe the area, which did not address the underlying issue or provide any reassurance of safety. The only other option offered was to switch rooms after 4pm the night before our check-out which is unacceptable, inconvenient and would not resolve the disruption to our stay.

We made multiple attempts—two in person, four via telephone, and twice by email—to escalate this matter and requested to speak with a supervisor, but unfortunately, no one has returned our calls or followed up with us. This lack of response has been extremely disappointing.

We are extremely disappointed considering the unresolved health concern, inconvenience, and lack of proper/ANY customer service.

You put your towels in a basket in the hall on the morning, but they don't give you back enough towels for both people in the room and they dont have any extra to give you. The caulking in the shower was molding or missing, you couldn't use the bathroom sonk because the faucet was hige and blocked the sink, the shower was almost inpossoble to use without virtually ripping and ounching the knob into the wall (it was so loose that you.literally pulled the wall and pushed into the wall to turn on and off). The air conditioner was dirty, but worked. Our first room had a dresser with a broken bottom, a missing bottom, and a knob pulled off. The cable didn't work, so they moved us to another room (smaller) that didnt even have a dresser.

I would like to be refunded for this please. Hotel has a lot of charm, however lacked some basic amenities, I.e. ran out of moods for regular coffee in rooms. They kept saying it’ll be so much better when the construction on the addition is finished, which was not helpful.

Having an issue is part of the problem. Failing to care is the greater failure
We stayed for a night in February. To start, the bath is best defined as minuscule with inadequate room to even turn around. The noisy window unit AC rattled like a subway. The bed was lumpy and the pillows flat as the service. The issue came when we went to use the shower which is the size of a small head on a sailboat. The mixing valve had failed and no hot water was available and then it was impossible to turn off the dripping water all night long.
When told of this situation the young front desk operator simply said they would look into it and failed to acknowledge the issue or the great inconvenience. I followed up with management by email and didn’t
Even get the courtesy of a reply.

For what they charge and the highly inconvenient lack of elevator and remote parking and the antiquated facilities which aer not maintained to a level to be called quaint there are far better accommodations in this city. Do not stay here.

Where to start ? Broken lamp which they did replace . Coffee maker that blew up when we turned it on. Could have been a fire hazard . Asked twice to have it replaced . Never happened . Toilet that ran all night and finally wouldn’t flush . My husband had to fix it because they don’t have maintenance on the property. Air conditioner that needed the filter replaced and a rug that should’ve been replaced a long time ago . No concern at all from staff on the bathroom and coffee maker. And since we weren’t going to get help for the toilet for over 30 min and my husband temporarily fixed the problem, they never showed at all .
Most definitely not worth the price.

Here is a maximum-impact, tightly compressed version that keeps every single issue while removing repetition, filler, and soft language. It reads clean, controlled, and devastating without exaggeration.

---

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the worst hotel stays I have ever experienced. The issues here are systemic, not isolated.

The $33 per night resort fee is unjustifiable. It includes internet and parking, yet the parking is two blocks away, which is unsafe and highly inconvenient at night. The fee does not include housekeeping. Guests are required to place towels and trash outside the room for exchange, but rooms are not cleaned. Staff gave conflicting explanations about this, with one attendant stating room cleaning was included if requested and another later denying that. No one could clearly explain why an additional nightly fee is charged for services that should be standard.

Staff knowledge and accountability were inconsistent. One desk attendant repeatedly deferred responsibility by saying the owner or manager made the decision without being able to explain policies or resolve issues. In contrast, Ariel at the front desk demonstrated genuine hospitality and competence. She was attentive, kind, and accommodating, and was the only staff member who effectively helped resolve problems when rooms had to be changed after a bed broke.

Room conditions were unacceptable. One bed frame broke entirely. Both rooms had severely dented mattresses that cau

Cute idea to stay in an old hotel. Have done it before with great results at other destinations. First, parked just outside when arriving and asked the counter clerk is it O.K. to park there, pointing out our car, while we check in and then go find the parking garage down the street? Told it's fine and then got a ticket the next second. $55.00 worth as it was a private parking lot adjacent to the hotel. Bad signage. Great trap for the lot owner! Room had no counter space, a very wet bathroom floor due to the sparse shower curtain that did not go all the way around a clawfoot tub. The tub was peeling badly from old paint or sealant? Would not dare to step inside that! Lots of gross hairs all over, including the fridge? Very, very dusty room from furniture legs to the chair rails. At a quick glance, it looked quaint, but you didn't want to look closer. Old, almost used up toilet paper roll welcomed us into the room. Broken toilet seat. I understand they're adding on rooms. Hopefully they will refurnish the existing ones as the location was very nice. Staff was gracious getting us stuff that was missing when we arrived, soap, sugar and creamer for the coffee maker and swapping towels out for fresh ones the next day. They had a nice front porch to sit on as well.

The check-in process was a nightmare. The gal that checked us in was the most unprofessional that I've come across in a long while. She was emphatic about the website says in bold print that there was no elevator. That is not true. Under a sub sub menu under a heading of Other things to know (in regular print). Also, this same check-inn gal stated that the parking lot next door was not for the hotel. If we parked there, we would either get a ticket or towed. It is, in fact, a public parking lot, so that was not true.
The building is extremely old. The beds are terrible. the bathroom seemed to be clean but the only self in the bathroom was barely attached to the wall. When I used the toilet the handle just moved and there was NO flush.
The gal that was on duty in the morning, was a peach of a person and very professional. She was a 5 star employee. That's why I gave them 2 stars. If I could give the check-in gal a negative, I would.
As far as the lobby...One of the reasons I booked was because of the front covered porch. That was lovely. Also, there was a bar in the lobby. BUT, the tabletops were so extremely dirty. The floor had dried spots on the floor from spills that any of the employees ever bothered to clean.
Needless to say we checked out a day early. I do not recommend.

Beautiful historic inn that has been refurbished and redecorated. The rooms are very spacious and clean. They have wood flooring, a nice bath with a clawfoot tub, and comfortable beds. It is air conditioned with window units that keep the rooms at a very comfortable, cool temperature, even on the 3rd floor. Just note that this inn has 3 floors, and no elevators, so if you have mobility issues, make sure to request a bed on the 1st level when you make your reservation. We didn't, and huffing and puffing up and down the stairs with heavy luggage was a bit difficult. There is a nice bar in the lobby area that serves coffee in the AM and cocktails in the pm hours. They close at 10 pm. Many really nice locals frequent the bar, and you can obtain a world of helpful information regarding the area and things to do and where to eat by sitting at the bar and engaging in a conversation. The bar tenders are very friendly and helpful, and make great drinks. Would definitely stay here again!

My stay was not what I had hoped for. I checked in Thursday evening and had planned to stay until Sunday, but I decided to leave early on Saturday morning. While I appreciate the historic charm of the building, the accommodations fell short of expectations.

The room was uncomfortable — the bed lacked support, the linens felt rough, and only one towel was provided. The garden tub appeared appealing at first glance, but once in use, it was uneven and felt unstable, which raised safety concerns.

The one highlight of my stay was the coffee, which was very good. Overall, however, the experience did not meet the standard I anticipated.

There was black mold in our shower and I have asthma. Cleanliness was subpar but the customer service was great.

The room was comfortable. There was construction in the lobby and hallway so it was hot. The cafe/bar was wonderful!

Historically great

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The hotel coffee bar was always amazing the bartenders were super friendly and all other staff was always great. We loved the historic feel of the building and the eclectic style. Was great location and walking distance to most things.

I love boutique hotels, but...

I enjoy boutique hotels with their quirks and imperfections -it's part of the charm. I also want to stress that this review has nothing to do with the current expansion construction occurring at the property. I have stayed at the Cordova previously and thought I understood what I was in for during the stay. The room was clean and tidy; however the remainder of the amenities were rubbish. The upstairs portion of the building does not have central HVAC, so they had fans all over the place to move the very humid air around. The rooms have window AC units, but they are old and no match for the humid Florida summers. There was a ceiling fan and auxiliary fan in the room, which made it tolerable and, in the evenings, easier to sleep. What made the stay unbearable was the bathroom. I cannot express how impossibly small the bathroom is and to use the toilet, which was merely inches from the sink, one had to snake into an S-curve to have a chance, and all the while have the sink directly in your face. The shower was barely large enough for a grown man and the water pressure was nil. I want to stress this -the water pressure was almost zero and the water temperature was either scaling or freezing -nothing in between. I resorted to lathering up in the sink and washing up with a washcloth.
We have previously enjoyed staying at the Cordova, but it seems that the property owners are putting everything into their new expansion and letting the historic part of the building go to pot.

Night to Recharge

As a local who loves historic buildings, the Cordova Inn comes with charm and character.
The room was comfortable and included all the essentials for a night away to recharge. The rest

From begining to end they are in contact with you for whatever your needs. Small and super adorable! I had a sister staycation and we loved how it made us feel like we traveled back in time.

Tiny bathroom - you might hit your head on the sink trying to wipe. Shower had less water pressurre than my 90 y/o grandpa trying to take a leak. Got a $55 ticket trying to drop off my luggage!!

A complete failure in hospitality, avoid at all costs

My partner and I arrived Friday for a special weekend, as I planned to propose. We noted this in our reservation. Instead of a memorable stay, we were met with neglect and unprofessionalism.

The front desk attendant was on a personal call for three minutes before checking us in. Our room was unbearably hot, the AC barely worked, and the bathroom was covered in limescale. Hair from a previous guest was in the bed and shower. When we reported the heat, we were told to “give it time.” We tried, cold showers, lowering the thermostat, but it remained stifling.

We left for dinner hoping it would improve. It didn’t. By 10 PM, there was no staff available to assist us. Some of my partner’s personal items were also missing from her bag. At 12 midnight, we gave up, booked a room at another hotel, and finally got working AC and basic cleanliness.

We checked out the next morning. The room was still sauna-hot. This was, without question, the worst hotel experience we’ve ever had.

We work in hospitality and expect the bare minimum, cleanliness, working AC, safety, and basic service. The Cordova Inn failed on all fronts. A full refund would be the least appropriate response. Until serious improvements are made, we strongly urge others to stay elsewhere.

Unique property in an excellent location. Hotel was within walking distance to many shops and restaurants as well as the Pier. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. The bathrooms are small (we had to move to a different room as the first room’s shower did not work). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bar and outdoor seating were a nice perk for a small hotel. The history alone makes this hotel a fun place to stay. Parking garage is a little bit of a walk, and Google maps does not lead you to the correct place when you enter the garage address; so listen to the hotel staff when they give your directions! Overall this was a great stay for the price on the holiday weekend!
