Top Great Explorations Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel, so boutique and unique - amazing staff!"

The Cordova Inn, a New Hotel Collection Property

8/10 Good

"We had a nice weekend today here. The room was bigger than I thought. They had blackout shades in the windows, but they were not big enough to block light on either side. The bathroom and room was very clean. However, the tub needed to be refinished and there was water dripping, and it was very slippery as it was a clawfoot tub shower. There were a few ants in the room. Our room was very quiet. We were on the second floor. However, if you are on the first floor and staying near the lobby, which has a coffee/wine bar, it can be a bit noisy. Great location walkable to downtown Saint Pete and the pier. They did provide parking in a nearby parking garage."
