Hotel Zamora, St. Pete Beach - Very Nice

The Hotel Zamora (http://www.thehotelzamora.com/) in St. Pete Beach combines spacious, comfortable rooms, and a warm atmosphere with beautiful views, excellent service, and a very nice restaurant. Some rooms have nice views of the Intracoastal Waterway, and others of the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the hotel has a rooftop bar with views of both bodies of water.

One View from Our Room

We enjoyed a pleasant, short stay there, and were fortunate in finding an excellent Groupon offer for the room and another for the Castile Restaurant in the hotel. (I will describe the restaurant in a separate posting.)

Looking Toward the Intracoastal Side

The service at the hotel was excellent. I was particularly impressed by Takesha at the registration desk. 

Our room was a Waterview King Junior Suite with a king size bed and a sleeper sofa. We had a small balcony with two chairs and a table. It was a handicap-accessible room, which we required.

There were a couple of negative points:
1. The awning over the arrival area leaked water, which was a problem because it was raining when we arrived. This creates a negative impression at the start of a stay.
2. The only available parking is valet parking, for which the fee is $18 per day
3.There is also a mandatory daily resort fee of $15 per day.
4. The free Wifi is unencrypted, so it's unsafe, and should be avoided.
