THE VINOY RENAISSANCE ST PETERSBURG RESORT & GOLF CLUB

The worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. They refused to let me park my brand new F250 in the garage due to height limitations. When I suggested I would park in the empty overflow lot, they refused. The valet manager was a complete rude $@@hole. Simply shrugged his shoulders, and said I can’t make an exception. My wife surprised me with a getaway weekend. I’m explained this to the hotel management and was met with we can’t do anything about it. It seems the awful valet rules the hotel. Who care if the guests are treated rudely? Nobody! Read the reviews. All the negative reviews have to do with the valet. If anyone in charge has any good sense, get a new valet contractor! I will use every social media platform to make customers aware of what a poorly run hotel The Vinoy is!

This was the worst experience at a hotel we have ever had! They completely ruined our staycation! We live fairly local and have event tickets locally and decided to make it a special weekend. My husband and I drove our truck and when we pulled up, we were told they couldn’t park using the garage due to our F250 being too tall. Ok, understand. There is an overflow lot in front. We could not park there because “if we let you park there, we have to let everyone park there.” Keep in mind our truck is brand new and not a junky truck! The hotel manager told us the parking company is a 3rd party vendor and she has no control over their decision! Really? You’re the hotel manager and you’re allowing the parking company to rule over you and be rude to your guests?!! I was in tears because everyone involved ruined our plans. One night, and they refused to let us park in an empty overflow lot! My husband told the parking manager , “you can let us park there, you just don’t want to so you can show us your “power”! He shrugged his shoulders and walked away! Shame on the management of The Vinoy! I hope you all have the karma you deserve!

I was very disappointed with the condition of this historic hotel. The grounds are lovely and the bones of the hotel are beautiful. However, at more than $300 per night, you at least expect a clean room. The entire place just feels a little dilapidated. I wouldn't be surprised if the effects of COVID on the hospitality industry have something to do with this -- but I just couldn't get over the state of our room. Bedding was ripped, lampshades stained and bathtub + shower curtain were appalling. Additionally, the spa locker rooms feel like they haven't been updated since the 80's. I hope they work on sprucing up this place because it deserves to be a 10/10 hotel.

Here is hotel beautifully restored and close to the St. Petersburg city centre. Service was great, and the rooms were well appointed. The

A must see even if you're not staying there. Beautiful beautiful architecture with an amazing history. The staff is the best I've seen in years, and happy to answer any questions you have about anything and happy to give you more stories and info about the hotel.

Walking distance from everything St. Pete.

Walk through the second floor "museum" of the hotel's story. Enjoy a complimentary glass of champagne during check-in, see the famous chihuly chandelier in the ballroom, and enjoy the wonderful bar, coffee, pastries and food.
