The Luce, St. Pete Beach, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

What was great was outside... it's absolutely amazing.... what was terrible was the room, it was old.... very poorly air conditioned. They didn't fix it or offer another room, no coffee pot inside room and no blanket... have to call for both. They did have excellent service and staff and the breakfast was great.

There was lots of activities. Really a fun and active hotel! Rooms are really basic and old but had all we needed.

Beautiful courtyard and pool area with bar

Overall - thought the place had a cool setup with potential to be great, but once you get past lobby area… We tried to save money to go here instead of others nearby, but in hindsight would have paid double to enjoy my weekend at a better hotel. Be aware - Smoking is allowed in front of all rooms so you can’t even use the chairs in from of your room by pool. Smoking is allowed or not monitored in all common areas which was everywhere…ruins it for non-smokers who want some fresh air. Food at beach bar was terrible and they were out of many items all weekend long. Coffee shop line took forever and didn’t have several basic items all weekend (vanilla syrup, etc). Pool was WAY overcrowded because they have too many daily pool passes as well as do not check bracelets of people who are not staying there and get in with friends. Your room comes with 2 beach chairs but no umbrella. Your chairs are ONLY allowed in the furthest spot from the ocean by the bar area. Treated like second class citizen…can’t even see the water from back there…You must buy umbrella or cabana to move up and cannot move their chairs or use your own umbrella with the chairs. CRAZY. WAY easier to just bring your own chairs and umbrella and walk off their property which is ridiculous to have to do when you paid ‘resort fees’ for the pool and beach chairs. Rooms are old … I expected that for the money but kind of trashy, loud AC units. Loud music all day and night. Love music but never stops….

This hotel is not worth the money. As soon as we arrived for our 4 night stay we cancelled the other 3 days. The room was dirty. The pocket door to the washroom was broken so wouldn't stay closed. The lighting was terrible and there was sand on the floor.

Overpriced- the facility itself is in need of repairs. They have spent money on the extra amenities that they charge extra for like reserved seatings, cabanas, and the people that come for just the day. The food and drinks right on the facility( food was overpriced $45 for 2 people for breakfast and it was bland) , Nice extras were ice bucket plunge to cool down, and they have this really cute remote controlled car they put a cooler in and drive around giving push-up pops out for free.

Room was spacious. Bed comfortable. Bathroom essentials lacking. Cleanliness was average. Needs a full length mirror in the room.

Stayed here about a dozen years ago and had a great time. The hotel has gone way downhill since then. They nickel and dime you for everything and seem to cater more to people who come in for the day to party at the bar than they do guests of the hotel. We ended up leaving a night early because we were over it.

My boyfriend and I loved this hotel! It was very cute and has a fun beachy/surfer aesthetic. It is an older place, but is very well maintained and was very clean! Right next to the beach and not crowded at all when we went. We really liked it a lot and would stay again!

Muy buen hotel
