Ponce De Leon Hotel

Location

Everything else Bed was wobbly and loud No water in middle of the night Expensive for a junky room Furniture looked like it was scratch and dent Carpet was damp Room key didn’t work at first Lamp shades dirty tile in bathroom dirty Soap that could be used to decrease an engine

The art deco style of the lobby was nice and the staff were friendly. The location is very good and it is easy to get to the museums and restaurants in downtown St Petersburg from the Ponce de Leon Hotel.

We booked the Honeymoon Suite so that we could have more than one bed to sleep in, not because we were married or on our honeymoon. That said, the room was not what I would want to stay in on my honeymoon. The decor was very outdated and the floor was dirty. The smell upon entering the "honeymoon suite" was very smoky and never dissipated, even though the staff put a lot of scented spray in the room. There is a bathtub right next to the "honeymoon" bed, which is disconcerting, and the view from the "suite" is of a building, which is not very appealing to a newlywed couple. There is a formica ceiling to floor unit in the middle of the room which needs to be moved or replaced because it just breaks up the whole scene of the room. The murphy bed is worn out and the separate bathroom, which is a bright spot in the suite, is very tiny.

Old. Not very comfortable. A/C hard to adjust.

Only thing this hotel has going for it is location. Would rate as 2.5 stars or less...reminiscent of a dorm room...ripped window screens...thrift store furnishings...no counter space whatsoever...very small...big disappointment

Had to park in a parking garage away from the hotel which I know can’t be fixed. It’s an old hotel but they could have done better at restoring it. I could hear people talking on the street and I was on the six floor. Worried elevator would break down. Bed was very uncomfortable.

Location is great. That's about it.

WIFI doesn't work for more than 5 mins at a time and drops for 30 mins then back up. Pretty annoying if you are trying to take care of some work. Rooms are small, old and somewhat dirty. The window AC unit was so loud I had to turn it off to sleep. No coffee or breakfast provided. Starbucks is 2 blocks. Stayed two nights, somehow my reservation got messed up and they made me move to a different room they said was less expensive. Other than a different floor they were about the same.
