Lost power and no backup generator. Walked down stairs to avoid elevator and not be in dark room. Housekeeping removed phone charger and wife’s hair curlers when we left room after first arrival. Tip that we left for delivery of our luggage was taken but the coat room check it was sitting on for the delivery was left behind. Possibly thought the items were from previous guests but security could not determine who entered the room.

Great hotel, great location, excellent food choices, Veranda was my favorite spot. I received the best deep tissue massage ever at the Spa. Health club facilities are the best I’ve experienced in Florida. Highly recommend, will definitely return.

The staff was excellent and did an awesome job. During the stay the property had just flooded a couple days before our arrival so downstairs were a lot of fans. The pool also was broken during the stay, so we were not able to utilize the pool. Charlie's landing (I think that was the name of restaurant on site) was pretty good. I would have preferred just a little more food options to choose from. I did try room service; it took about an hour, but it was still good.

I was in town for the annual St Anthonys triathlon. They only do valet only now which is highly inconvenient for triathletes and gear. I was denied a late checkout and my friend that stayed there was given late checkout. The maid also knocked on my door before checkout time even with a “do not disturb sign” on the door. Was dissapointed-definitely not the same experience I had two years ago. The property and hotel are beautiful and I was able to check in a half hour early. It is convnenient to Vinoy park.

What a beautiful hotel! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Vinoy. Excellent amenities and very clean. We ate at Paul’s Landing, swam in the pool, rode electric bikes, enjoyed drinks on the veranda and in the coffee shop, and even visited the St Pete History Museum with tickets included with our room. The price was high but that’s what you pay for a hotel with this level of service. Concierge, front desk, valets, and bellhops were all very helpful and friendly. There is a beautiful Chihuly chandelier in the ballroom and a gorgeous grand arrangement of flowers in the foyer. We also appreciated the very well-done exhibit on the mezzanine about the hotel’s history.

My husband and I spent a weekend getaway at the Vinoy. The property is beautiful and the pool is especially nice. The service, however, was not good. We waited at the restaurants for servers to take our order and when the order came it was not correct. Also, we were told drink coupons were not honored at the pool, but that the front desk would take drinks off of our bill at the end of our stay. That turned out not to be correct. I called the spa on Saturday morning to book a service and was asked to leave a message, which I did. Nobody ever returned my call. Finally, we did not receive any maid service at all until late Sunday when we asked for extra towels. We enjoyed our weekend, but expected better service from such a regal and expensive property.

My wife and I frequent the St. Pete area. We live in West Palm, I'm a pilot and fly us over for weekends. For my wife's birthday this year, I wanted to stay somewhere really nice. Unfortunately, there were too many negative things about the Vinoy that will prevent us from returning. - They charge $12.95/day for internet access. This is a $500+ per night property, and properties going for half this include free Wi-Fi. It's a shameful money grab. - The shower door track had mold/mildew (see photos) and the room smelled musty. Nasty. - During check-in we were told we would receive complimentary tickets to The Dali museum, which was the main attraction my wife wanted to see. They did give us tickets. However, it was pretty embarrassing when we approached the counter at The Dali, handed the tickets over and were told these were for a completely different museum (museum of history - see photos). Shelled out the $88 and began the tour. Annoying. - At checkout, there were almost $100 of "valet" charges on our bill. We didn't even have a car with us! - The view in the room was terrible. Basically looking at the delivery area and rooftop A/C units.

Our first assigned room had roaches in the bathroom. I saw suspected evidence on the bathroom counter when we first went into the room. Later that evening I saw additional dropping in the sink and I killed a roach in the sink. Later in evening my wife found roach in her makeup bag that was sitting on the counter. We called management and we were moved to an upgraded suite. The suite had issues the air conditioner / heater. It kept cycling power on and off with loud noise every time it cam back on. We refused to move again and told management to just the unit off which they did.

We checked in around 9:40pm. We had a reservation for a king. They did not have any king beds and put us in an annex of the main hotel in a room with two queen beds. The air conditioning did not work and it was 78 degrees all night, we were in the last room. We paid $1100. including resort fees. It was miserable stuff and hot. Very disappointing. The front desk just said they would let maintenance know about the air.

We had a room in the original part of the hotel. The rooms have been updated and were very nice. The air conditioner had trouble keeping the room cool. My husband and I both could not sleep due to the warmth of the room and no matter how much we turned the air down, it never cooled. There was also noise coming through the vents in the middle of the night that was so loud it also kept us awake. Overall feel and experience, felt overpriced for this stay.

We had a trip scheduled for a festival in adjoining park. We arrived, valet parked, had a bellman grab our luggage, only to wait in line and to be told that they sold our room. No call in advance, no notification, just you have no room and here is a voucher for a hotel down the road. We were told to come back in the morning and that it would be made up to us. They ended up putting us in the same roomn we booked, no upgrade. The manager avoided us and while the front desk apologized, it ruined the trip. Have the decency to call and notify and then when you get a second chance, make it up for crying out loud.

The price they charge is out of control for the amenities offered. They won’t park oversized vehicles. So we spent so much time finding street parking in which they would not provide us with any advice or recommendations. Just your on your own. Room service is limited. Not all day. They only have a breakfast and then a dinner. Again you’re on your own for lunch. The menu items are ver scarce. The one staff member (bellman ) Bobby was amazing. He was the only thing we liked.

Resort is beautiful. Parasol staff was phenomenal. Unfortunately the night crew on Halloween at VERANDA clearly had zero intention of working and the night manager (female) and veranda bar staff acted like they OWNED the VINOY and we were low life intruders that were putting her and her staff out because we wanted to buy drinks during hours the bar was open. THEN she removed our full drinks including TWO NINE YEAR BOURBONS and threw them away while we were talking to another table. Manager had to replace them! Made it painfully clear that she wanted us to leave. Too bad sis, we paid to stay here, and will use the bar during open hours. We bought three bottles of wine (because bartender told us he didn’t want to serve drinks and took his sweet time so people would leave. Waited on us ONLY AFTER we demonstrated we were hotel guests). While the bar was open, manager and the bar staff hovered over us, asking if we were done, insisting they would take our unopened bottles. Passive aggressive moves like turning off all the candles on the tables . I finally had to ask the male bar staff why people were acting like us spending money as paying guests was so off putting to the staff. Staff acted like they were royalty and we, the paying guests, were beneath them. Insulting and highly inappropriate attitude. Made to feel unwelcomed *while spending money*, by your night staff at Veranda on 10-31 after 10:00 pm.
