The staff was amazing and our room was very clean. We stayed on a Monday so the restaurant in the hotel was not open, which was a bummer. But, there are so many easily accessible restaurants in the area, so it wasn't too bad. The lights in the "overnight" or "after hours" elevator did not work, so it was pitch dark in there. Take the stairs if you are leaving the hotel after 11pm! Over all, it was a great stay with a beautiful room! I would stay here again.

Perfect Downtown Location
This hotel is in a perfect location for the downtown area. It’s across the street from the water and park, and is walkable to everything downtown. They offer valet parking at an extra cost, but it’s worth it. It’s no where near St Pete’s Beach, but if you’re looking for a downtown location, you can’t beat The Birchwood. You will be close to all the restaurants, bars, nightlife, museums, shops…

This hotel is very pretty and a tad more affordable than some other properties in St. Petersburg. The only negative is no pool, which I didn’t think I wanted but in the Florida heat, may have been welcome. The room was large and well kept and furnished, very pretty. The area is perfect and centrally located. Step outside and all of St. Petersburg is at your doorstep. If u need to get your car for a drive, I found it was easy to ask and brought around quickly. We spent 2 nights over a weekend. Yes, there was noise from the rooftop but I didn’t find it hindered my sleep. The tv sound can even that out, so it really wasn’t an issue. I also dined at Teak for brunch which was also very good, and a beautiful location. I would def return to this charming property.

Nice hotel but with a handful of shortcomings
Well restored rooms that our spacious and clean, but some rooms are not private and look out onto a walkway. Worse, the water quality makes the soap and shampoo leave you with an oily feeling. Plus, the shower head is a “rain” style from the ceiling - looks nice but annoying to use. The bath tub was gorgeous. NO staff from 11p to 7a?!? Valet parking is a hassle due to understaffing. Rooftop bar is lovely and the hotel has an excellent location on the waterfront. Breakfast was free but minimal, so have low expectations.

Way overpriced. Property is very tired and needs upgrading. Very poor water pressure and couldn’t even turn the knobs on the bath tub. Huge cockroach in our sink the first morning. Mattress needs replaced and bed very squeaky. No real amenities at the hotel. It’s advertised as having breakfast, but no real breakfast options… Not even a full Continental in my opinion. I am gluten-free and there were no options for me at all. Very overpriced for the lack of offerings. The only plus was the location. All in all just way overpriced for the lack of amenities and breakfast options.

Parking at this hotel is awful. Tried calling the hotel to find out where to park for check-in and no one answered. Had to call the restaurant to get anyone. Once checked in, they do valet your car. But had to be back before 11:00pm or no more valet and park on street and risk a ticket as there is absolutely no parking area/lot for hotel guests. Room was just average, stayed in better. Carpet was stained throughout. Nothing special that’s for sure for the price. Very crowded downtown but if your there for that, one might like the location. Should have stayed at Vinoy, but wanted to try something new. Won’t stay here again!
