The rooms were cute, but could definitely use simple updates or maintenance items. EXAMPLE: a light bulb was burned out in the bathroom light fixture. Just replace it or some of the linens (towels) not as thick? Maybe updated towels? It was a fun hotel and the gal at the front desk was ALWAYS incredible to us! Simply AMAZING!!

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.

First room was not that great- somewhat dingy and had an ant issue. Staff were kind and responsive, and I was moved to a better room for the second night. There was some confusion about the parking situation, and I ended up getting charged $43 + $10, because I was advised I could enter my license plate information at anytime during my stay. 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.

The property has the potential to be lovely but needs a lot of TLC. The room we were in was on the 3rd floor and very run down. Paint chipping off the walls. Shower was very unpredictable. Our TV did not work and when I reported the issue to the front desk the reply was “oh I never watch TV so I don’t know anything about that” then she offered to get maintenance in the next day ( it was 10 am when I reported it).
The bar seemed nice but we did not use it as it was very small and not enough seating.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We gave it a shot

Cute place at first but there a huge construction zone right next to it. Not a big deal - progress is a good thing. But checking in to our first room, the TV didn’t work - 4 universal remotes later it still didn’t work. Time for a new room. The next room the air didn’t work. The next the air worked but was only a small shower and not the requested tub. Same with the next room. Finally, a room on the second floor with air and tub. After moving everything again we rested well watching Amazon Prime Movies. The bed was good.

In the morning, the tub was unevenly balanced so when standing in it to shower if you stepped forward it felt like the tub would fall over. ‘Why not take a bath instead?’ You might ask. Becuse thee stopped wouldn’t fit the drain hole so … no bath. Tiny pedestal sink with not much room for toiletries.

The Inn is located in the middle of everything downtown St. Pete with access to a lot including a great AMC theater. We had to park in a parking garage two blocks away - Cordova validated the parking which was nice.

It was an experience … probably won’t return because at almost 60 we need accommodations that are easier. Maybe one day we’ll try the boutique hotel thing again.

Parking is nearby, secure and included in the room rate. The hotel has 3 floors, there is no elevator and the staff is not flexible or helpful as we are elderly and there are no elevators and no help with luggage, they should consider placing us on the lower levels.
After 10:30 pm there is no reception but there is security and you enter with your room card.

Got back in the around 11 pm to find the shower didn't work and the sink barely drained. There was sharp broken tile on the bathroom floor and my wife cut her foot. After being outdoors all day, we badly needed a shower. We were unable to reach anyone about this. The front desk is unreachable by phone. Hotel rooms were scarce due to the blues fest. We were very fortunate to find a room at s much better hotel WITH A SHOWER. We have stayed at the Cordova Inn 3 times in the past. We will never go back.

The property is an old hotel, which is quite quaint. They have a coffee/liqueur bar in the lobby that attracts youngish folks. The room was a nice size, although the bathroom was small, typical of an old hotel. It had a claw-foot bath tub. There was very low water pressure at the bathroom sink and absolutely no hot water. The complimentary parking is in a garage about a block and a half from the hotel.

The property is in the process of renovation. All windows were blocked. It doesn't provide any housekeeping, and you have yo take out your own trash.

This property was built in 1912... before elevators and central AC was thing...wink, wink. The 3 flights of stairs weren't as daunting after we lugged the luggage up them and the AC wall unit kept it pretty cold. They are expanding and I'm sure the newer section will have all the modern bells and whistles. Parking is around the corner, but it is free for hotel guests...so there's the win there. Would I stay again? Yes! The price was right, the property's cute with a nice vibe, the staff was wonderful, and the location is in the heart of a bustling night life that's extremely walkable. Enjoy!!

Charming boutique, historic hotel. Rooms are updated in an art deco style with a mix of antiques and stylish decor. Location is ideal, just a few blocks from the restaurants and shops on the bay. 10-15 minute walk to the Dali Museum.

The property was clean and nice. There is a small bar down stairs with a nice porch area.

Very nice staff, good location, and overall cute property. Beds were very uncomfortable and blinds did not cover the window spaces, so it was bright early.

This property is an old property and needed some upgrades and some fixes that didn’t really seem to matter to the management. Simple things like the lobby bathroom trashcan was overflowing for two days. The complementary water jug in the lobby was empty in the afternoon. It took three people to tell the bar staff before they would fill it. The bathrooms in the hotel rooms were absolutely horrid! They wouldn’t even classify as a closet. Two people could not stand in the bathroom at the same time unless one was in the shower.
The biggest disappointment was there was construction going on adjacent to the building that they had purchased to expand the size of the hotel jackhammer and everything going on outside our window and this was never mentioned to us while we made the reservation before arriving, etc.
The young staff for the most part were amazing. It just seemed like there was a lack of management and oversight.

Before 7:00 am, we were awakened by a construction crew. No elevator so struggled with getting suitcase up to the third floor.

Me and my boyfriend were very comfortable at the Cordova in. It was very cozy and we felt safe. It was worth the price. The Bar was supposed to be open 8am-😭10pm but when we woke up on Sunday at 10am the bar still wasn’t open and we were looking forward to their coffee :/. Their front porch was very nice everything was clean. Very close walkable distance from and very nice AMC theater, Ruth’s Chris, a lot of other bars and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

The hotel was very nice, check in easy and location great. Room was very nice. We did have an issue with the water pressure from the shower head (not high enough to even wash my hair). I reported the problem to the front desk and hopefully they will fix the problem. We only stayed 1 night, so I don't know if the problem was resolved.

Looks can be deceiving!

Coffee Maker, ceiling fan, toilet roll dispenser were broke.
Check in service was all that existed.
No luggage stand, parking is 2 block away.
The shower was small, but looked dirty.
Not what I expected for this price!
Front porch is awesome!

Black mold in bathroom, looks like 10 coats of paint on walls, windows painted shut, out let’s don’t work, no light bulbs in lamps, AC window units blades caked with dirt, old and decrepit……dingy, dingy, dingy.
They moved us to a different room on the second night because I’m allergic to mold. The bathroom was better and did not have mold, but everything was still very dingy and rundown.

Historic - but disappointing

The Cordova Inn was very disappointing. It is supposedly a \"renovated\" historic inn, but the renovation leaves a lot to be desired. A noisy window AC unit should have been upgraded to a quiet minisplit system - they are quiet, effective, and pretty inexpensive. The hairdryer didn't work. The old clawfoot tub had no grab bar and very hazardous slippery surfaces. There was no work desk in the room - you had to set up a laptop in a common area. The staff weren't particularly friendly or helpful.
