    Hallway - Optical illusion?  Go and see what I'm talking about...
    J B.

    We first heard of The Castle Hotel during our last visit from one of the bartenders at Hurricane so we decided we'd check it out one day. Well that was in September 2018 and we decided on a last-minute trip to stay here for the last weekend of March 2019. First off, Bob, the owner is such a nice guy. Genuinely warm and friendly, not cold or rehearsed like some folks one might encounter at large, high-priced hotels. He was more like that uncle you really liked as a kid. He shared a couple of stories with us about some of the paintings along the staircase, to include his mother, a former Miss America. Too cool! Now, I will say that if you're really into luxurious, modern, hip places, don't stay here. However, if you're into historical, old, eclectic comfy places with really old furniture and fixtures tied with a room that has no microwave or TV, then this is it! Oh, and did I mention that the hotel is allegedly haunted? Yes, haunted! We stayed in room 13 and I will admit, we heard creaking footsteps above the room (I assume the attic since the entry to get up there is blocked off) during our stay but it wasn't threatening... More like someone's spirit just walking. The story in the link below speaks on who the 'guest(s)' may actually be. Wicked awesome! The room was nice. It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't (although my wife did wish there was a coffee maker). Old wood floors, distressed antique furniture, mini-fridge, clean bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Like I said before, no TV and no microwave which was perfect for unplugging for a weekend. I think what struck me as odd is the size of the building from the outside, versus the size from inside. It looked really small outside but once you hit the top of the steps to the upstairs hall, it suddenly appeared to be the size of the hall where those creepy little girls from 'The Shining' were standing in. It just seemed so long and it seemed like it got longer with every step. I guess the punchline for us is that we really, really enjoyed our stay here. It's in a super-quiet area and it situated near the end of Pass-A-Grill but still offered the beach across the street and a short walk to shops and restaurants so you don't even need a car; but if you do, you can always use the free taxi service that's available, while at the same time allowing the free taxi drivers to learn that this hotel exists (we had 2 different drivers that had no idea the Castle Hotel was there!) We had an awesome time and can't wait to get back later this year! http://www.thebeachesvisitorsguide.com/haunted-st-pete-beach/

Liam and Tanner at the front desk or so kind and helpful. They were great to talk to and extremely friendly! The hotel itself was nice, and my room was very spacious. It even had an old-fashioned fridge and couches in front of the TV that were movie styled. It was a very fun, happy, vibe that was 50s retro inspired.If only the weather was warmer during my visit, I felt like I really could've maximized my time at the hotel. They really made great use of their space with Life-size games, mini golf, and not to mention the beach was just steps away. I will definitely have to come back when the weather is warmer!!

Appliances are an adorable retro theme. The decor takes you back to a time where life was simpler and fills your senses with nostalgia. I couldn't help but smile while in the lobby that was decked out with the look and feel of times past. Big shout out to the very nice and professional gals in the lobby Cherish and Eva. Great customer service If you love vintage cars - this is your go to place - I promise. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had a very minor issue with our keycard but it was immediately resolved literally within 5 minutes. Oh, and did I mention happy hour??? FREE beer and wine is never a bad thing! Lastly, we were able to meet one of the owners who was truly was happy to have us as his guest. They've thought of everything So, if you are ever in the area check them out.

The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.

I was glad to snag a room at an extremely reasonable rate on a Saturday night. I was skeptical because I'm afraid of rat holes and after reading up on reviews anywhere I could find them, I decided to give it a shot. It's in a great location, directly next to the Undertow and just a couple of blocks from Smileys Snack Shack, what else do you need? The room is dated, the bathroom is tiny, but it has a kitchenette with 2 burner stove and a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, pots and pans, plates glasses, silverware.... Anything you might need for a long weekend or longer stay. And it's CLEAN! The pool is small, but it's nice, there's a covered pavilion there as well if you want to stay out of the sun and overlooks the beach and ocean. That's all you need! Only one car per room. If you have more than one car for your room, offsite parking is a nightmare, but it can be done. I only spent one night, but I would consider returning. I just wish they'd do something about those curtains!

That's about it for the positives. It is a VERY dated hotel so if you like fresh and new, look at the 2014-opened Hotel Zamora a hundred yards down Gulf Blvd, however it is not beachfront, so that's its huge problem. The rooms here you can tell have seen some better years with patches and paint easily spotted on the walls. The appliances in the kitchenette are very old but perfectly functional if you want to enjoy a week on the beach without the expense of going to restaurants for every meal. If you're wanting to catch a football game on TV, better to visit a bar because the rooms still have old school tube televisions. The front desk is not staffed 24x7, so there are restrictions on check in and check out times to keep in mind. My only real complaint about this place is security. The room I stayed in had broken locks on at least two of the windows making it impossible to lock them. The door locks still use traditional keys, so who knows if someone has copied yours in the past. The rooms on the south side of the property (not sure about the north side) have a sidewalk area and second door on that back side exiting from the bedroom; it would be easy for someone to break into the room from that site without it being very obvious. So if you have some true valuables, you probably won't feel comfortable leaving them in the room. I'm not sure if the front desk has some more secure method of storing items for guests.
