    Sofa smelled. Needed to be cleaned. I’m sure they will do it once we let them know.

    Checking in was a pain. In and out of the location twice. Someone called and asked me what time I would arrive and set an expectation that failed to deliver. Pet friendly but no place to curb the dog. I felt bad for my pet. No coffee machine which is unheard of today.

    The location on the marina was wonderful. Easy access to the beach. The room was well-appointed except for one thing. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the suite.

    I have the last 3rd Genius level on Booking.com. I never had so worst experience with hotels. I was on a business trip. Drives 4.5 hours, tired. The one thing that was needed is a shower. The check-in is so ridiculous, I parked where Waze is pointed. No check-in, as usual, saw the sign on the building, it was a map showing wheels the check-in is located! We walked behind the building and found another map of where the check-in is located. some people outside asked us about the check-in and told us that we need to pass the road and go a couple of hundred feet to another building. I did not believe that person and start calling the hotel, but my call was put on pre-hold. Another person from the street, name Alex, asked us “do we want to check it?” I was angry at that moment already. Alex mentioned that another building is located maybe 700 feet on the different side of the road just for check-in. We took the car, drove to that building, made a check it, and drove back to the first building. It’s ridiculous!!! you should pass the quest to check in! I wanted just to shower, but there is no hot water!!! I waited 10 min, and the water is slightly warm!!! Anna texted me and asked if everything ok? I texted that everything is not ok and we don’t have hot water. We decided to go outside and take some food. After maybe 2 hours we returned to the room and checked the water, after 5 min the water become hot. Finally! That was the worst check-in and night in my life. I still can’t believe that someone decided to make check-in for 3 hotels (as I understand) in one different building where I need to go hundreds of feet. What If we had no car and have 2-3 suitcases? How does the hotel management imagine that? The people should walk with their suitcases, cross the highway, just to check it and then go back the same path to their rooms! Bravo! The bed! The mattress is so soft that we fell through on it. it is springy. I can't sleep on these.

    location maybe

    It was beautiful - having a room next to the water was amazing! From the moment we arrived we were already happy with the booking. Tanner was exceptional at answering my questions over the phone prior to arriving at Bay Palms and he was even more amazing during check in! I had booked a room for my boyfriend’s birthday and Tanner upgraded our room and made us feel welcome! It was amazing to learn that Bay Palms was allowing residence of St.Pete to stay at there hotel as long term guests due to the past hurricane that hit the coast - with other hotels stopping that; Bay Palms continued to provide shelter for the residence of St.Pete. The paintings in our room were beautiful and although we are not directly on the beach - it is only a 5 minute walk to the ocean! Thank you, Tanner for an awesome weekend and keep up the great work 🫶
