Cordova Inn Near Jannus Live

Parking free in a garage around the corner, just enter your tag in the iPad at the front desk and you get validated. Room was a bit older, cracks in our sink and shower floor a bit worn but bed comfortable enough, mini fridge and microwave handy. Super convenient to Jannus Live and downtown nightlife, tons of restaurants and bars around!

There was black mold in our shower and I have asthma. Cleanliness was subpar but the customer service was great.

From begining to end they are in contact with you for whatever your needs. Small and super adorable! I had a sister staycation and we loved how it made us feel like we traveled back in time.

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

Worth it!

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.
Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

The property was clean and nice. There is a small bar down stairs with a nice porch area.

Location was perfect for walking to many places on the area. We had after hour check in which we had no issues with.
Tara, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Nice hotel but construction next door

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.

Front desk had no staff member. Had to stand and wait in the very small lobby for someone to check us in. Staff was unfriendly and rude

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

Historic and interesting place, amazing front porch…not a run of the mill chain hotel
david, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is an old hotel, which is quite quaint. They have a coffee/liqueur bar in the lobby that attracts youngish folks. The room was a nice size, although the bathroom was small, typical of an old hotel. It had a claw-foot bath tub. There was very low water pressure at the bathroom sink and absolutely no hot water. The complimentary parking is in a garage about a block and a half from the hotel.
