St Pete Shores Hotel

Be aware this is not a hotel, is a motel in the middle of construction, furniture and space feels really old and ran down, you could see it on the stained sofa fabric and scratched vinyl floors, low ceiling and really feels like a closed up space…very misleading photos, be careful when booking it, you will not be pleased with the room! itself, we had to call to cancel it as the “ocean view” was poor, and only seen when outside the room on the hallway… go figure! we were able to move the reservation to the newer side managed by Hilton, the hotel manager mentioned this situation happens very often… even though we booked ocean view we ended up with a room facing the road! Not recommended make sure you do your research for cost vs benefit.

The AC worked well. There were no sheets, blankets or pillows for the pull out sofa. I walked to down the front desk and they were to send them up while we were out to dinner. When we got back, none had been delivered and reception/housekeeping were closed. My husband had to walk to the Sirata next door to find someone to provide the linens for us. The door was rotted at the top causing us to have to slam the door shut every time - disturbing our neighbors and the walls were so thin. The pool area was nice but the bartender was rude. Won’t stay here again :(

Our room was located in an older building. Still clean but not as nice as the main hotel. We had a pull out couch for our kids but no linens or pillows.

We’ve loved this property for years, which makes this review disappointing to write. While the renovations are clearly needed, the current experience does not justify the high price. During our last two stays, our rooms were noticeably worn and in disrepair. At the same time, much of the property is under active construction, with limited visual barriers and an overall unfinished feel. Blocked walkways force guests to walk through parking areas to reach beach access, which detracts from the experience. Renovations are understandable, but pricing should reflect the conditions. This level of disruption should also be disclosed at booking so guests can make informed decisions. We hope to return once updates are complete.

This place was a bit of a dump. The room we were in was in disrepair. The bathroom had a 6x6 gaping hole in the wall. The water for the shower would not completely shut off. The front door had to be slammed to get the lick to engage. One and done.
