Bottom Line

The 91-room Hampton Inn and Suites St. Petersburg Downtown is an upper-middle-range hotel in an excellent central location that's within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. Contemporary rooms offer mini-fridges, microwaves, flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, while suites add wet bars and private balconies. However, some rooms get loud street noise and there's obvious wear on the furniture. The hotel provides a free hot breakfast or On the Run Breakfast Bags, and there is a delightful outdoor pool. An outdoor terrace has seating and potted plants and there are meeting rooms, a business center, and a small fitness center as well. Only valet parking is available, however, and incurs a daily fee. Travelers might also want to compare rates with the nearby Hotel Indigo Saint Petersburg Downtown.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hampton Inn and Suites St. Petersburg Downtown

Scene

A contemporary chain hotel with stylish, bright interiors and an airy feel

A friendly atmosphere flows throughout the bright and homey lobby, which is decorated with a red rug festooned in colorful swirls as well as ceiling beams and a sleek, dark wood front desk. A free coffee and tea station is a welcoming and attentive touch. The contemporary space also offers beige bench seating, while the adjoining breakfast area features stylish decor that includes the same swirly area rugs and black and beige pillars interspersed throughout a collection of sleek tables accompanied by upholstered chairs. Earthy, neutral tones are accented by rich crimson colors, while black and white framed photographs and a flat-screen TV are mounted on a textured, sienna-hued wall. Elsewhere, red patterned armchairs, sunset artwork, and a vibrantly colored area rug adorn a common seating area in the hotel, while the lovely outdoor terrace has black metal seating and potted plants.
