Nice property. Older property with character, more like a bed and breakfast. Good location close to downtown and The Pier. Attentive staff. Decent continental breakfast each morning. Did not get a chance to have a cooked meal there. While we there, there was a small Sweet Sixteen party there on a Ghost Tour looking for evidence the property was haunted.... More

We spent 5 days at The Pier over the New Year holiday and it was just great. We spent last New Years there as well and was once again very happy with the experience. The new owners are so nice and accommodating. You can tell they are really putting in a lot of work and effort. The staff was friendly... More

I would rather stay at home than visit Pier Hotel again. We arrived the day the hotel had made an offer through Groupon. Jane spent her afternoon answering the phone, was grumpy about having to put drinks out as the phone kept interrupting. Poorly upgraded, hotel's only redeeming feature that it was close to downtown restaurants and Saturday market. More

The hotel is more like a bed and breakfast than modern hotels with cookie cutter rooms. The rooms are small and cozy like you would expect from an older building. The staff is kind and attentive. I would definitly take advantage of the food offered on site it is as good as or better than the surrounding restraunts (and there... More

Great nastolgic feeling in older hotel with nicely updated rooms. 1 block from a plethora of downtown St. Pete venues. First Friday block party was extremely fun. A big variety of choices for the included Continental breakfast. Staff went above and beyond to make a late night burger after a fun night out. All the staff very friendly and helpful.... More

We stayed here for two nights for our anniversary. We had a groupon for the first night and the second night was only $90. The hotel was RIGHT downtown. It's walking distance from museums, shops, bars, and restaurants. The hotel looks like it hasn't been updated in decades. The rooms look like they were decorated in the 1950's. The TV... More

We stayed here one night with friends and had a great evening. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Complimentary wine and beer while enjoying the live entertainment on the veranda was a great start. If you want to take in the Central Avenue restaurants and nightlife this location is perfect. You're two very short blocks... More

I enjoyed staying there. Enjoyed the complimentary vino on the veranda during happy hour and also their comp breakfast too. Quaint atmosphere within an easy walk to the pier, fun shops, museums. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. The only drawback that I recall was the old fashioned window A/C - I thought it was noisy. . More
