Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg Downtown by IHG

This hotel is something special! I am from NY but will only stay at this Staybridge Suites because of the staff especially. The front desk ladies (specifically Chrisella, Sakina, and Princess) are the MOST welcoming, professional, kind, courteous and accommodating staff you will find anywhere. I’ve stayed at over 50 hotels up and down the east coast, and this hotel is SUPERIOR to them all. From the comfortable and extremely clean rooms, to the phenomenal breakfast made by the chef and sous chef. The maintenance staff is also incredibly friendly and helpful whenever necessary. This is THE place to stay if you ever come and visit St. Pete!

Loved that we could bring our dog for our 2 night stay. Liz in housekeeping was hugely helpful :) When we arrived we realized we had booked the wrong suite & I found Liz on our floor and she did such an amazing job helping us switch! Also helped us in getting more high top chairs as we were hosting a meal in our suite. Also, Lashawn in the breakfast area takes tremendous pride in her work, and the breakfast was lovely and so delicious 😋, and her smile was infectious 😊 hotel was quiet. Parking was super tight on the weekend, that was the only drawback in addition to the rooms were a bit old & the tv remote shows Netflix etc, but they said none of that worked when we called the front desk for assistance.

Overall my stay with this hotel was great. Princess provided great customer service. The breakfast was great, as was the social hour they do on Wednesdays. Fully equipped kitchen for extended stays. However, our stay was plagued by a few issues. First, we were put in a double queen room when we booked a king. We came back down and let them know the issue, and we were put in a king after some back and forth, and it felt that the person behind the desk was slightly annoyed about it. Then in our king room, there were items in the fridge left behind by the previous occupant. And for the hotel having paid parking, it is very difficult to find a parking spot. Overall I would recommend this hotel and would consider staying again.

This hotel had everything we needed for a comfortable, convenient stay. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was excellent, everything is clean, the kitchen is fully equipped and allowed us the opportunity to heat or even cook some food. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. As someone who has to eat, gluten-free, a special shout out to Donni in the kitchen who is able to make me a guaranteed gluten-free egg dish one morning. That kind of kindness was greatly appreciated. Also, the front desk staff were wonderful. In particular, Chrisella was so helpful in changing our room at a moments notice. The location is extremely convenient and we were able to walk to so many of the attractions we wanted to see. We would stay here again.

We were excited to book this last minute trip to explore St. Pete and check out USF-SP. Though the hotel is less than a mile from where we wanted to explore, we wouldn't recommend walking in the neighborhood. You'll need to take your car and invest time finding parking in downtown St. Pete. Our first room was dirty and had no lights. After coordinating with maintenance and the front desk, we were moved to a different room. Throughout our stay, the hallways were dirty and filled with litter and food crumbs. Other things you'll need to prepare and know before your stay: they provide you with three towels, even though the room capacity is 4; you'll need to call and ask for linens for the sofa bed and possibly an extra blanket. The sofabed blankets are very thin. Breakfast is good and there
