    vintage atmosphere
    friendly staff
    beautiful views
    dated elevator
    maintenance needed

    I recently stayed at the Ponce De Leon Hotel and loved the charming, vintage atmosphere! The staff were incredibly friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. My Standard Queen Room had beautiful views of the city and was spacious enough for me to relax comfortably.

    The elevator seemed a bit dated and could use some maintenance.

    comfy bed
    rooftop pool
    quick check-in
    crowded elevator

    Check-in was a breeze, and I loved that our room had a mini fridge and a super comfy bed! I really enjoyed the rooftop pool and the cozy lounge area for relaxing. Just a heads up, the elevator can get a bit crowded during peak times, but it didn't ruin my stay! 🌟

    vintage style
    charming atmosphere
    great location
    dated furniture
    limited trash

    This place has a unique vintage style with a noticeable old-world charm that adds character. The location near the waterfront makes it easy to explore local attractions.

    Many aspects need attention. the furniture felt mismatched and worn, giving the room a neglected vibe. The bathroom setup was awkward, with a small step that tripped me repeatedly, while the lack of a reliable TV left my guest frustrated when confined indoors. Also, a very limited trash situation meant dealing with discarded items awkwardly cluttering the space. Overall, the room felt dated, which might not work for those seeking modern amenities.

    charming building
    great location
    outdated room

    The downtown location is fantastic! We had a great time visiting the nearby parks and took a stroll along the boardwalk, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. The art deco building has a ton of charm, making our stay quite memorable with family.

    My kids wished the rooms were updated. they were a bit outdated and not very spacious. An improvement could be adding a small kids' corner in the lobby for families traveling with children.

    Staying at Ponce De Leon was a delightful experience! The hotel's historical charm captivates, and the staff exudes warmth. Although the elevator needs improvement, the vintage atmosphere and proximity to downtown art attractions made my stay memorable.

    convenient location
    upgraded room
    limited parking
    poor service
    inconvenient luggage transport

    The location provides easy access to local attractions, making it ideal for a weekend getaway. The upgraded room was a pleasant surprise with a more comfortable bed. However, parking was a significant issue, with limited options forcing guests to park far away. The overall experience was marred by poor service and the inconvenience of carrying luggage such a distance.

    old-world charm
    central location
    small room

    The old-world charm of the historic decor makes the place feel unique and packed with character. Proximity to Central Avenue is a big plus, with numerous shops and dining options just a short walk away.

    Rooms are tiny, which can feel cramped, especially if you were expecting more space based on the website photos. Noise levels are an issue with nearby nightlife, making it difficult to catch a good night's sleep. Maintenance seems behind the times. broken fixtures and persistent odors can catch you off guard, not to mention the very small elevator that feels a bit sketchy.

    great value

    This place was just a proper fit for a quick stop in St Petersburg with fantastic value. The staff was really kind, especially the receptionist who asked about our family situation daily, which meant a lot. Make sure to keep your expectations realistic for the price.

    comfortable bed
    cold shower

    Loved the location! Just a short walk to cute shops and yummy eateries. The squeaky old-fashioned bed was surprisingly comfy!

    Shower felt like ice water—someone must've left the glacier on! Also, please fix the decor; it's a bit of a hot mess!
