10/10 staff & location!

Wonderful staff, at the front desk & at the bar. So friendly & helpful, very welcoming! The hotel seems to be in need of a bit of an update - very creaky bed, toilet kept running, bathtub/shower probably needed to be redone/updated. Overall great location & cozy stay, just could use a few updates & some sprucing.

Good

Overall the stay was good. I knew it was a historic hotel so I always have an open minded view of what to expect. Everything was good with the exception that the room that I stayed in was the first room (Room 108) as you enter the hallway from the lobby. You can literally hear everything happening in the lobby. There's a small kitchen and a coffee shop right there. That was the only issue.

It was very bad experience. The room was so old and it smells the bathroom omg the worst I ever seen the room it was very cold and the ac on the window did not work on the heated side.And don’t make me start on the noise outside. This construction workers they start making so much noise at 7am I never experience that in a hotel after a night out that was horrible so if you reading this do your self a favor pay couple $ more and go to a better hotel you gone thank me.

Cordova Inn a bit worn...

Construction underway. Construction team started banging and moving equipment at 7:08 am Friday. Fire alarm went off at 2:38 a.m. Saturday, then again at 3:15 when the fire department arrived using sirens, then again at 6:30a.m. for some reason. Then again at 9:00 am. Staff confirmed it's an ongoing issue. Windows now dirty and blocked by construction activity. Rooms small. Towels a bit dirty and aged. Oh well. Seemed like a charming place to be.

Wish I could rate this a zero star.

Nothing good here, in fact pretty scary. If you are looking for a boutique hotel, go to The Hollander. You park right next door, but you can’t park there overnight, you need to park blocks away. Thats an extra $25. My room the door for room 104 does not shut proper and is barely catching the door jam. Since the bed is right next to the door it bothers me that this is a safety issue, and a brute bump would blow the door open. The TV did not work. The AC only has air and blasts high cold, no heat. I was there on a cold day 40's. The bed was a lumpy old bed don't want to know where it came from. Most importantly there is no customer service, only lip service. The Manager or no one ever called me back its been 6 days so far and no return call. I made a list of these issues and left it with the person of the day the next day. I was even told that due to this being a historical building you get the door as is and it won’t be fixed. That is the most backward answer on a safety concern I have heard. Sorry bro, that answer won’t fly. Stay away!

The Cordova is a great hotel, it has a nice old world feel with all the modern conveniences that you might need. I found everything clean and the area quiet. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I’m looking forward to staying there again whenever I visit Tampa or St. Petersburg area

Nice effort to preserve the old hotel atmosphere, great staff. Lamp didn't work and alarm went off at 5, which suggests a need for better attention to maintenance and housekeeping.

The property had some nice historic features and boogie areas, but there were many underwhelming things that overshadowed them. First it was under construction so the ground floor windows had blackout shades that could not be opened for daylight so you felt like you were in a small cave and there was a frefrigerator with a microwave sitting on top, just sitting on the floor, which felt like a college dorm room. The staff was a somewhat rude and not very welcoming.

This is a boutique hotel in every aspect! There are no modern amenities at all. No elevator, window unit air conditioners, no place to store your luggage or drawers to unpack. The claw foot tub is adorable but very inconvenient. The shower gel, shampoo, conditioner were on the back of the toilet because there is NO bathroom storage! Only a pedestal sink with no counter space, no where to put a bar of soap! I am glad we only stayed two nights. It looks like they are building a new boutique hotel Next-door but for now this is it! There was a small coffee maker, a microwave and a small refrigerator but they were plugged in to the loosest outlet I was scared to use it! Location is great very walk able! Unfortunately the inconveniences of no where to put clothes or suitcase, small not usable bathroom space for getting ready, and the dirtiest windows over ever seen makes this a place I will not return to!

Not the greatest

We have stayed her before, but the place is definitely not in good shape. The availability of front desk workers and the hours that the coffee shop/bar is open is very limited. The walls are like paper and you can hear everything going on in the rooms nearby, the lobby and outside. I know they are building new rooms and I feel that is the reason the existing ones have lapsed into disrepair. We noticed that one of our windows has a bad termite infestation. The wood is literally turning into sawdust.

one night is enough

it is a older hotel with a lot of character. The bar is friendly and fun to hang out at. the bed was terrible. The bathroom was the size of a broom closet you cant close the door and stand in the bathroom. the shower is very old and the size of a camper shower.

Property being currently renovated! Noisy! Room next to staff storage room! Toilet was unseated! Barely fit in the shower! Coffee maker was poor! Cable TV had poor reception! Parking was a block and a half away! Staff was very helpful and friendly and at $300/night I would hope so! Go somewhere else!

A Disappointing Boutique Hotel

The pictures online showed such a picturesque boutique hotel. I booked it for a surprise weekend for my husbands birthday. It was not. It was old and had poor amenities. In our room there was a window air conditioner that blew directly on the bed and kept going on and off every few minutes 24/7! The window coverings were awful. Some didn't work. The bathtub only had hot water out of either faucet and the clawfoot bathtub itself, while inviting, was chipped and appeared dirty. The windows were very dirty. We only saw one or two employees during our stay, but did get a sales call about joining the hotel chain. Parking was free but a block away. The construction next door started at 7 am, even on the holiday. There was no elevator. We asked for a first floor room and was told it was not available in our category. Overall all a very disappointing stay.
