I stayed here with my kid for 9 days in 2009, when it was a Holiday Inn. Took me a while to get round to writing a review, but hey... We used the hotel as a base to explore the area, and attend the Rays games. It is in an excellent position right at the St Petersburg end of the... More

We got a real good deal on a room here. There are two pools and a jacuzzi in addition to a small white sand beach. The restaurant here is very good and the staff is very happy and helpful. The workout room is one of the best for a hotel of this caliber. There are many things to do, but... More

Good deals are sure hard to pass up. Thank you for choosing us for your vacation. There are so many things to do at the hotel and in the St. Petersburg area. Maybe next time you are here, you will have more time to enjoy the property and city. When you book again, call ahead of time. We do have... More

Spent one night here last October. Hotel location is a bit remote if you want to visit the downtown centre of St Petersburg. Rooms are outdated and could do with some renovation. There was a card in our room advising to lock the doors at night (standard advise in all hotels), however the deadbolt in our room could not be... More

I've reviewed this place a while ago but after seeing the "Aweful" comment I thought I should again. I come here often on business but it is also one of the few beachfront properties I would want to bring my grand children to. The private beach and secure grounds make it a great place for families. There is a nice,... More

I just returned from a stay at the Magnusan hotel. I was extremely disappointed. Restaurant? I wouldn't even look at that. The best thig about the hotel is that it is on "the point" and in certain rooms it gives you the cruise feeling. However, it appears to be one that should be torn down and use the spot for... More

First of all, we enjoyed having the opportunity to host your Family Reunion. My staff tells me that we received many kind words throughout the weekend from attendees. We are, however, very sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Your family reunion received a group rate. A few of these rooms received upgrades that included microwave ovens. We are... More

We stayed here because of business locally. The service was fine and the location was great. The hotel is pretty dated and could use a little TLC. The TVs were old and the wifi was temperamental. When we brought the odds and ends to the attention of the management they gave us free breakfast, so they were quick to respond.... More

We of the St Petersburg Scooter Club held our rally over Veterens Day weekend. The accomadations were fantastic, the food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. This was by far the best experience that I have ever had at any hotel. I couldn't find anything to complain... More
