The Hotel Zamora

The cleanliness. The details. The zen atmosphere. The staff. Every staff member was friendly, kind, helpful, and seemed truly interested in helping and answering questions.

Beautifully made, million dollar views, and many different things to offer for guests.

Great place, modern and clean rooms. The only negative I would say is that the pool was not very big and there were not many seats. another thing that was a little annoying was that they would only give one towel per person and you had to get them on a different floor at the registration desk and take it down to the pool.

The property was a gem in that area. For the price, it’s probably the nicest hotel outside of the Don Cesar that you will find on that stretch of St. Pete. We really love Pass-a-Grille and the proximity was perfect.

Beautiful and clean property.
The restaurant , the pool area, the rooftop patio, The rooms, including the lobby area, just beautiful!

The hotel was great, the location was great, the food was great, but the dinner service was substandard. Our drinks took 20 minutes native and then one was missing. That missing drink took another 10 minutes. The server, Chris, was unapologetic and actually copped an attitude when we questioned how long it was taking. Beware the rude server, they can derail an otherwise amazing experience.

Good place. But be careful: if you ask for a tub, you might get, as we did, a bathroom that is open to the bedroom. And they couldn’t move us. Phone and TV in the room were a bit of a problem. Otherwise, this is a first rate hotel.

Issue:
- long wait for shuttle to beach.

How they solved it
- Chris, apologized and took care of us. Gave us a credit to the restaurant.

Honestly, I wasn’t even that bothered but they made it a priority to address it.

The staff are nice. Rooms were clean.

And very large.

I’d stay here in a heartbeat

The hotel and location were superior. Our room was nice and roomy, but the carpets were not as clean as we would have expected. The bar and restaurant are beautiful, and the food was very reasonable. We did have an issue that my husband could not park his Aston Martin himself but had to park two blocks from the hotel.

Had a long weekend get away, Hotel Zamora was exactly what we needed. The atmosphere, accommodations, furniture, design, ambiance, hotel staff… it was amazing.

Excellent place to stay. Very clean, beautiful hotel. Very nice pool. The staff are very nice. Good at the restaurant is great. They have a shuttle to the beach and back. Will would like to come back.

First impressions were great except for the overpowering perfume smell in the lobby. Check in was smooth, we were given a room with « partial ocean view » which really means if you look over the rooftops of facing homes across the street you can glimpse the beach! Basically it’s a street view with traffic noise included.
The room is spacious and looks coastal in design but when you look closer you realize that this hotel was renovated on a budget and poorly maintained. Reading lights next to bed were broken, safe did not work, tap in sink sprayed water everywhere because aerator on tap missing. Shower is ok but orange mildew forming all over tiles. Dropped my earring and saw floor under vanity had not been cleaned in a long while. Carpets in the room are spotted and dirty , hallway carpet also gross looking. Door to housekeeping in need of cleaning in a big way. Fan in toilet closet sounds like a jet engine revving up. Staff are nice enough but not enough of them, went to have breakfast on our first day but ended up leaving as waiter was overwhelmed and after finally been seated we waited for over 20 minutes without table setting or water and without even ordering food. We left and went to Publix and bought fruit and yogurt for future breakfast. Front desk staff pleasant but when asked if they had an extra iPhone charging wire did not even bother looking, overall an ok stay but for four stars doesn’t even come close!

We booked this hotel in November of ‘25. We booked a king deluxe with a balcony and water view. They gave us a king with no balcony and a street view. There was no mention of this at check in. We went back down to the front desk to see what happened. The employee looked at the notes and someone…he thought the GM, had switched our room type in January. He said there was nothing he could do as the room we booked was taken. I complained…why would they change the room we paid for? He had no answer and finally offered us one free night and offered a queen room with a balcony. The view was also the busy street. We got our correct room the following evening with an apology note and two free drinks. Positives: friendly staff, room is clean, deluxe room has a very nice bathroom, a/c works great, hotel was fairly quiet, bed was comfortable, there were lots of outlets and electronic plug ins., restaurant and bar is nice with excellent food. Negatives: Valet parking. You can’t park yourself so you feel you have to tip every time you get and return your car. $40 a night resort fee includes the pool use- not big and most of the pool area is in the shade, hot tub, (not working while we were there…they were waiting for a part for the heater) kayak use, bicycle use, and rides & (beach chairs) to the beach. The ocean is right across the street but they have to bring you a ways down the street where there is public beach access. If you don’t plan on using any of that, $40 a day seems excessive as this place seems more like a hotel, not a resort. You can walk to the beach and rent chairs and a cabana for $45. There is a mini fridge but no microwave. There is an armoire to hang clothes but no dresser to unpack and store clothes. The first room had a keurig so we bought pods, but the second room had an espresso machine. We made the best of our vacation but we wouldn’t stay there again.

We love the atmosphere. The hotel was tastefully decorated. We were disappointed that the hot tub was broken the entire duration of our stay. The pool and deck area were nice. The view from the rooftop was amazing to watch the sunset. The room was huge and clean and it was quiet. Housekeeping staff really do a great job keeping it clean. We could’ve used more towels in our room, but when we asked we got them right away. the restaurant was also awesome. The food was delicious. The ambience was great. I loved that there was outdoor dining because we had our puppy with us. breakfast was great… The lemon blueberry pancakes were to die for. The lobby coffee is very weak so that was disappointing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Shout out to the valet team who were quick with the cars. And the restaurant staff who were friendly and accommodating.

Great staff and a nice roof deck.

The hotel was nice. Very large room. Plenty of space and comfort. The room was a little beat up, had a broken lamp and large stain on couch. Staff addressed it immediately when advised. Staff was friendly. Bar area and staff were excellent!

Always love staying at hotel Zamora. The food is amazing and so is the location.

We love the staff - the night worker at the front desk is always very helpful and welcoming.

The bartenders are all top notch too

The hotel was recently remodeled and looked great. Our room was Huge! A hotel shuttle can take you to a beautiful beach nearby. The staff were consistently pleasant and helpful. It’s a 10 minute drive from the good restaurants of downtown St Pete.
