I have stayed at the Cordova a few times now. Everything was lovely except the housekeeper walking in the room without even knocking.
1-night trip

6/10

Parking is 2 city blocks away. It is a quaint old place which also means 3 stories, no elevators. There is a small “bar” right inside the lobby, so when you go to check in everyone can stare at you. No one there seemed too concerned about anything. I’ve stayed here twice now. 2 and out.

Love the antique style of the hotel. Love all of the history and the bar in the hotel is amazing! Delicious drinks and great bartender and atmosphere! Only complaint would be the shower/bathroom was incredibly small and the blow dryer was so old it tripped the outlet. Overall we would stay here again bc the good was better then the little things listed.

Hotel was nice and very clean , but there was construction of their new hotel expansion next to us and the view was not nice. While it's a historic hotel the bathtub was difficult to get in because is antique. I also wish they had a morning coffee and pastries in the morning . Nice place though.

Very nice staff, good location, and overall cute property. Beds were very uncomfortable and blinds did not cover the window spaces, so it was bright early.

Beautiful boutique hotel with very comfy beds and accommodations
1-night trip

6/10

The room needs basic improvements, mattress, bathroom curtains and curtain rails. There is no daily cleaning and coffee is not replenished. There is no dining room. There is a small bar, nice and with good service. Parking is nearby, secure and included in the room rate. The hotel has 3 floors, there is no elevator and the staff is not flexible or helpful as we are elderly and there are no elevators and no help with luggage, they should consider placing us on the lower levels. After 10:30 pm there is no reception but there is security and you enter with your room card. The hotel is well located and within walking distance to Central Ave and Beach Dr.

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

Me and my boyfriend were very comfortable at the Cordova in. It was very cozy and we felt safe. It was worth the price. The Bar was supposed to be open 8am-😭10pm but when we woke up on Sunday at 10am the bar still wasn’t open and we were looking forward to their coffee :/. Their front porch was very nice everything was clean. Very close walkable distance from and very nice AMC theater, Ruth’s Chris, a lot of other bars and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend and stay again!

This property was built in 1912... before elevators and central AC was thing...wink, wink. The 3 flights of stairs weren't as daunting after we lugged the luggage up them and the AC wall unit kept it pretty cold. They are expanding and I'm sure the newer section will have all the modern bells and whistles. Parking is around the corner, but it is free for hotel guests...so there's the win there. Would I stay again? Yes! The price was right, the property's cute with a nice vibe, the staff was wonderful, and the location is in the heart of a bustling night life that's extremely walkable. Enjoy!!

Great location and happy with room. Hotel staff did a good job, but customer service after is horrible. Parking is supposed to be included. We were billed by the garage for parking. I have called (got voicemail), I sent an email to the hotel, I sent an email to Hotels.com and I sent a txt. No reply on any. Mistakes happen, but it’s hard to go back when you feel like you’re ignored. Beware.

Staff couldn’t care less about any of it visitors. Rooms are dirty. Certainly would not recommend.

The hotel was very nice, check in easy and location great. Room was very nice. We did have an issue with the water pressure from the shower head (not high enough to even wash my hair). I reported the problem to the front desk and hopefully they will fix the problem. We only stayed 1 night, so I don't know if the problem was resolved.

Before 7:00 am, we were awakened by a construction crew. No elevator so struggled with getting suitcase up to the third floor.

Good location, great bar and happy hour. Room was OK - its dated. Bathroom is small. We were on the first floor and it was very noisy. P.S. - No tissues in the room.
