Staybridge Suites St. Petersburg Downtown

I needed a place to stay by the hospital in St. Petersburg — Bayfront Medical. I made a last minute reservation at Staybridge, not knowing how long I would need to stay. I ended up staying for 10 days. The staff was all very friendly and very helpful! My room was great, it had a full kitchen, was a good size and was very clean. The free breakfast was wonderful, the dinners they had were a great surprise especially after spending the day at the hospital, it was really nice to not have to go out and find something to eat. There was a free washer and drying that i was able to use. The free shuttle came in handy when it was raining or I was returning from the hospital after dark. I highly recommend Staybridge!

Our time at Staybridge was amazing! The room was clean, there was a full kitchen including pans to cook on the stove, and a great size living space. The staff was phenomenal and were really committed to delivering superior customer service. They really went the extra mile to make us feel like royalty, they had great attitudes and personalities, and enjoyed conversing with guests. The shuttle service was also great! St. Pete’s has a really cool downtown area and getting around was made easy and super convenient. Need to be somewhere in the morning? Fill out the shuttle sign up sheet in the lobby. Need to get picked up from The Mill? Give the front desk a call. The restaurants in STP are fantastic! But if you want to eat in, Publix is a great grocery store to get food. And of course you don’t have to walk back to the hotel with bags of groceries, you can call for the shuttle to pick you up! I have to wrap this up and haven’t even told you about the breakfast and dinner the hotel provides. These are full on meals! And the food tasted good! Hats off to the entire staff for making our cross country stay so enjoyable!

I stayed here recently for 2 weeks while my house was undergoing renovations. The staff in general is very friendly, but especially so the woman who checked us in. Several nice touches that make it easier for longer stays: complimentary breakfast, free laundry, okay gym. Also, the main floor has a nice lounge area that is good if you want some time away from your room. Unlike other reviewers, I had no issue with the internet and experienced no noise problems at all.

I’ve lived at the Staybridge with my girlfriend for the past few months. I moved here for a job, and have been living here temporarily. The Staybridge remains an excellent place to stay for an extended period.
The general manager Michael is a really nice guy and is excellent at his job. He helped me increase my stay length recently, and made it a very simple process. I appreciated that, particularly because it was the busy season.
The staff couldn’t be friendlier and more accommodating. Shout out to *Miriam* at the front desk, as well as the operations manager (her name slips my mind). They made my stay wonderful. Because of them and Michael, whenever I travel I’ll be looking for Staybridge/​IHG brand.
One critique – their internet has gotten much slower since the time I arrived. I used to get download speeds approaching a megabyte per second, and now I’m often under 100 KB (really slow). This is important feature for an extended-​stay hotel in my opinion, especially when you have corporate residents who may need to work at home. I would even pay for more speed if it were an option.
Solid breakfast in the morning, cookies at night (and free drinks if that’s your thing). Solid gym. The rooms are clean, the walls are thick, and I get a good night sleep here. The cleaning system works well for me too. All and all ⁵⁄₅ definitely. Practical-​minded setup and friendly staff.

Seems like this place is hit or miss for guests. I’ll leave my two cents, and I hope it’s somewhat helpful. I really enjoyed staying here overnight for a bachelorette party.
LOCATION: It’s located pretty close to the highway (but not close enough to hear noise). It is a great place to stay if you’re going to a Tampa Bay Rays game since it’s close to the field. If you’re wanting to go out in downtown, it’s a short seven minute drive. We also used Über to get around at night. The exterior is really well let, and after a certain time, the main doors are locked. Swipe your key card, and abracadabra! The doors open.
ROOM: Everything was really clean. Our room was pretty spacious — in part because we had the handicap accessible room. The kitchenette was nice and had a lot of amenities for cooking. The fridge was also pretty nice.
SERVICE: We booked two rooms, thinking the rooms would be adjacent or at least on the same floor. We were one floor apart, so it made things a little difficult. We were only here for one night and didn’t have much interaction with the hotel staff.
PERKS: We checked out the hotel breakfast in the morning. It was pretty good. Perhaps they changed the menu since they first opened, but there were no breakfast pizzas. If you’re looking for five star dining, this place isn’t it. As far as hot food, there were eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, grits, oatmeal, and waffles. There were also assorted cheeses, yogurt, bagels, hard boiled eggs, and fresh fruit. We enjoyed it.
I’d definitely come back again and would recommend staying here.

I find it odd and flat-​out suspicious when reviews are as all-​over-​the-​place as these. We stayed for a full weekend while in town for a wedding. We were supposed to stay at a trendier, «nicer», more expensive hotel downtown and, due to some realized-​at-​the-​last-​minute planning flubs, ended up here. Bummer… But not really.
The décor unexpectedly modern for a place like this… and the full kitchen is nice. even if we didn’t really need it. The bed was, no joke, one of the comfiest I have had at a hotel… and that’s saying something.
The location is not really downtown walkable… You aren’t exactly «in the heart of it all” — but, they offer a free shuttle service within a three-​mile radius (and that will get you into «the heart of it all») — and we used this several times. It was reliable and easy.
Finally, the customer service was awesome. Maybe a little over-​the-​top eager to please but, hey– if that’s your biggest complaint…
The wireless, unlike what was stated in a prior review, was not a problem– and I did log into my work server remotely a few times.
Great option.

My wife is a physician who periodically works at All Children’s Hospital, walking distance from the Staybridge. We stay in St. Petersburg on average a week each month. The staff is pleasant, the breakfast is excellent, the pool is heated and clean. The rooms are large and comfortable. It will be very hard to walk away from this hotel. But we have no choice. If you or your spouse must do work in your room that requires the internet, that won’t be possible. Here are the speeds sampled at random today: .17MB/​sec .23 MB/​sec I.e., the speed is well under 1MB/​sec. My wife cannot complete her patients’ charts remotely, from the room. And I have to wait 30 seconds for the New York Times to open. This is the third month in a row this has happened, presumably because the hotel switched to a newer and cheaper internet provider. The routine you will experience is this: Front Desk says their internet contractor handles it. They give you a toll free number to call (as you wonder why the hotel isn’t calling on behalf of its customers). You spend 45 minutes on the phone as a technician tells you he can see on his diagnostic screen that you have no speed, but he is unable to fix it. Then you complain to the Front Desk again, and they say, «We’ll see what we can do in the back.» I always wonder, what black magic ritual is being performed «in the back»? Are chickens being sacrificed? Seriously, though, this has become a recurring problem at this hotel. If you have an expensive data plan on your phone, you can burn your month’s data at the hotel. But shouldn’t the hotel — in this day and age — provide a serviceable wi-​fi internet connection that is more than a MB a second? As much as we like this place, and we really do, we simply have to get work done. And this is THE WORST, THE VERY WORST, internet we have ever experienced at a hotel, and because my wife is an traveling Emergency Room physician, we’ve seen a lot of them.

Great experience. Rooms were clean and the service was phenomenal. Lori was a delight. We were welcomed at this hotel and it felt like home. Wonderful layout.

This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. They have really loud music in their «event room» which rattles the walls in your room — very fun when you have an infant trying to sleep and the thudding of overtly terrible music keeps her up. The staff do not seem to care either.
I’m not sure exactly how much that matters since our baby wasn’t sleeping through the disgusting amount of noise discussed above, but the «crib» provided was nothing more than a rickety, half size, aluminum baby prison with a mattress made of something similar to pure stone.
In three days, housekeeping has not come to our room — we have had to go to the front desk each day to ask for towels to shower in the bathroom that is clearly falling apart. Strange for such a «new» hotel.
Purely academic at this point but if you care, breakfast is very sub par as well.
Finally, we have some sort of fancy grease-​induced hand prints on our walls. Very nice place. (Sarcasm…lots of it.)

Stayed a week with two young children while visiting family in area. Had a two queen bed suite.
The establishment including our room was very clean. Some wear beginning to show in the bathroom where re-​grouting was needed, but overall a pretty updated place.
What stood out was the amazingly friendly and helpful service, and the warmth of all the people on the Staybridge team who made our stay comfortable. This includes front desk, maintenance, housekeeping, night security, and the food and beverage team — these were all of the people we had interactions with, and everyone was super friendly and this is what would bring us back to this hotel during our future visits to the Saint Pete area.
Having hot breakfast served daily was nice (and especially helpful with kids), and Tues — Thurs there’re heavy snacks and beverages (including beer and wine) for a couple hours in early evening which were also nice. For the price of the room, the food and beverage offering was more than expected.
I agree with someone else that in the afternoon the pool is shaded — that was actually awesome for us, as I like to avoid the damaging sun rays on my kids and myself.
Lastly, for longer stays especially, I thought it was a great perk to have laundry facility available at no charge (you’d pay extra for detergent — or bring your own). There were 3 washers and dryers in the laundry room so there might be wait times but we didn’t experience waits and we did laundry twice during the trip.
I’ll also say once again that I’m greatly appreciative of the amazing staff. It’s not easy to travel alone with two young children. Especially when one was pretty sick during the beginning of the trip, and then the other one had an internal issue that required a trip to the nearby children’s hospital ER. And then during the latter part of the trip, I became sick. Having kind people around certainly made all the issues we were having so much easier to deal with, and I don’t even want to think about what our trip would have been like with these troubles had we not been at Staybridge with the comfortable accommodations and incredible staff.

Checked in here last minute while visiting St. Petersburg Fl. Booked here Cuz supposedly it was a good place to stay. The only perk here Is the the room comes with a kitchen. Other than that the service is beyond horrible. The only good service comes from the shuttle bus driver who was the only respectable guy. I have never stayed at a place where they make you feel so uncomfortable.
Note to those who care about this-​The walls are paper thin here.

Awesome new hotel right near Tropicana Field. Very friendly front desk staff, full pantry for snacks and drinks and nice set up for breakfast in the morning. Looks like they had a nice pool but we didn’t have time to use it. The room was incredibly well equipped with a lovely kitchen and we could’ve easily stayed there for a week!

This hotel is an average suite hotel with a few shortcomings. Since the hotel recently opened, the staff is fairly new and inexperienced. They don’t communicate well. When I asked for the shuttle to pick me up a couple miles away, they told me it would come immediately. Twenty minutes later when I called to ask about it, they said they just went through a shift change and would send it right away. Another twenty minutes later they said they’d send it right away again. I was offered a lift to the hotel and I called and cancelled the shuttle. But in the middle of checking in, the person at the front desk took a lengthy phone call, disappeared to the back and finally emerged to give the shuttle driver directions to pick me up. Some reviewers commented favorably on the breakfast food but I thought it was poorly done. Instead of the normal scrambled eggs, they offer ‘egg and tomato pizza’ on hard pizza dough and dried omelets premade with salsa and peppers. They had fewer choices than the average suite hotel. The hotel was only open for about a month so it looked good. Maybe the staff will improve and they’ll do something about the food.

What a nice place to stay! The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the building is brand-​new, and the room is very spacious. I especially like the bed, which has got to be one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve been in lately. They also have a very nice breakfast buffet, with a wider selection then I was accustomed to. One last great thing– they have a shuttle goes anywhere with any three-​mile radius. It was awesome! The shuttle driver was courteous and very friendly and did a great job driving me around — to my aerobics class in the morning and to my work meeting later that day. I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I stayed here for the Bitcoin bowl game played at Tropicana field. Very nice hotel. Easy walk to Tropicana field. Extremely clean and hotel staff was great.

This is a very clean, fun and social hotel. I’ve stayed here twice in the past few weeks and the location is great for going out to a ballgame or just downtown St. Pete. The shuttle is always available and runs relatively late.
I also love that every room is a suite and is equipped with a full kitchen, so it makes a long weekend stay a breeze. Plus, it is pet friendly. Another aspect that keeps me coming back is the social nights Tuesday through Thursday where they serve free wine and local craft beer, as well as freshly cooked food and not just chips and salsa like some other hotels.
The staff is always friendly and willing to help. This is my go-​to stay when I need to get out of Tampa for a weekend.

We learned this hotel had just opened this season. It’s clean and brand spanking new… so new some of the outlets are a little gritty with grout. Our two bed suite included a sitting room with a pullout bed and kitchenette. There were no major hiccups despite the fact that the staff is new and just getting into the groove as spring break hits. The breakfast crowd kept the staff hustling, and the staff responded with smiles. The rest of our stay in St. Pete’s had already been booked at a resort beachside, but if we make our way back down here this would be a top pick.

For the first time, we checked into the brand new hotel. second surprise was well trained staffs considering only one week of operation. full sized kitchen with spacious living area would definitely make me come back for a next visit. complimentary breakfast with 24hour coffee station was great. it will be a great challenge for the hotel to maintain the same quality of service and facilities. this hotel wins over any other brands in the area.
if you squeeze my arms to say one thing to improve, soup dish in the shower stall is missing along with bath towel hook.
