Excellent location for enjoying downtown St Petersburg. Across street from major Arts & Crafts Museum.
Free parking may well be available on the street within a couple of blocks, or even right next to hotel, especially on weekends when restrictions are looser. Otherwise, $35 valet parking is just too much.
Avoid Room 308. Windows are very dirty, and ventilation noise in Room 308 is constant, very loud, and cannot be controlled. This was confirmed by hotel staff, who cheerfully provided me another room that was just fine for A/C noise (and had clean windows).
All staff were friendly and helpful.
