Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Phenomenal stay, room was clean, just wish the fridge was bigger"

Courtyard by Marriott St. Petersburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Only problem was big. We flew down super excited to attend the Bruno mars concert. I didn’t realize it was outdoors & that’s okay. The problem is without prior warning not being able allowed to be dropped off closer to the venue. Waking in the heat to get to the many ramps and bridge over the street was just the beginning. By the time we got there, through the stadium to our seats my husband was so sick with heat exhaustion. We needed medical. Thankfully, as he was telling me he was going down we had found a wheelchair. Needless to say we missed ever seeing Bruno mars. We spent so much money on tickets, our flight, hotel, having to eat out & getting uber rides. Never got to see the concert. When an event is advertised at a stadium set up like this there should be a disclaimer for older people with health problems. I’ve been wanting to see Bruno mars for 10 yrs. Few thousand dollars wasted for nothing. There should have been a disclaimer Thankfully my husband is resting & will be okay."

AC Hotel St. Petersburg Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean, comfortable, and amazing. Location is great surrounded by many dinning options. There is a rooftop bar Cane and Barrel that has a great atmosphere and good drinks. The room was perfect, and we had a great sleep every night. Staff was super helpful all around. Parking just so you know the hotel offers valet parking only. There is other parking around the area if you want to deal with walking a few blocks. Will be going back soon.."
