Top Willis S. Johns Center Hotel Reviews

La Quinta by Wyndham St Petersburg-Clearwater

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is closed."

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome stay! Great location !"

Comfort Inn & Suites Northeast - Gateway

8/10 Good

"The front desk employees were great, room was clean, and the AC was cold. Nothing special, but I’d stay there again!"

Mint House St. Petersburg Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"This place was exactly what I was looking for. Central to everything, extremely walkable. My only complaint is that having to move my car around did get kind of old. Valet parking is exorbitant at $40 a day. Luckily downtown has tons of free parking options right around the hotel, so if you time it right you can park easily for free overnight. It’s very central to a lot of nightlife, so expect to hear some noise at night. Surprisingly things calmed down even on weekends around midnight."

Red Roof Inn Tampa Bay - St Petersburg

"Another restful stay at the Red Roof Inn Saint Petersburg FL"

Uptown Suites
