Good tour with lots of interesting details and facts about cigar making, the building, and the area. They are happy to answer questions and explain anything you ask about. Even if you don't smoke cigars it is an interesting tour and worth your time.
Plenty of free parking available on site.

Cute old hotel. They have done a nice job updating it over the years.
Great location for walking to the bay/waterfront, restaurants, Tropicana Field, museums. Area is very walkable. I ran every morning with no issues.
Staff is very friendly & helpful. Housekeeping is every 3rd day or so & since we were there for a weekend didn't have it. But anything we needed (coffee pods, soap, etc) the front desk had handy to give us.
Be aware there is only Valet parking, so you'll need to add that in on top of the room rate if you have a car.
Bathroom is very small. They did a nice job retrofitting it but it is tiny compared to what we are used to now days. I would suggest to management adding another towel bar or hooks - there is space on the walls for a couple more hooks & that would help with maximizing the space.
Dresser is in the closet (we were in room 317). Made hanging dresses difficult. Not sure why the dresser wasn't in the corner of the room by the window where there was space?

Overall, when we get back to St. Petersburg we will absolutely stay here again.

Delightful little museum. Definitely verify their hours before heading over. Give yourself an hour to poke around - it is bigger than it looks from the outside.
We lucked out and a couple volunteers were there when we stopped in so we got a lot of information about the various exhibits. An amazing amount of local history in one place.
Admission is free. Free parking is available off the side street behind the building.
