    vintage charm
    perfect location
    sheer curtains
    poor sleep quality

    The hotel's vintage charm was captivating, but the sheer curtains made for a challenging sleep with bright streetlights all night. It’s a shame as the location was absolutely perfect for our weekend in St Pete.

    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    outdated room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 they were a bit outdated and not very spacious.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.

    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! 🌟

    dated elevator
    maintenance needed

    Ponce De Leon has a charming vintage style with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff were genuinely friendly and efficient, particularly in assisting me with my business needs. My Standard Queen Room was clean and spacious, providing a comfortable space to unwind after work. The hotel's prime location near the waterfront made it easy to explore the area during my downtime.

    The elevator seemed a bit dated.

    vibrant location
    loud air conditioning

    an unexpected lullaby of noise

    The location was vibrant, right in the heart of the city’s Pride festivities. We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and spacious, clean room that felt like home.

    Unfortunately, the air conditioning unit was so loud, it disrupted our sleep each night. Combined with noisy street activity, it made restful sleep a challenge.

    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.

    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!

    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.
