Upham Beach Inn

Dilapidated motel they slapped paint on and crusty furniture

Avoid Up Ham Beach Inn at all costs! My stay was a nightmare. The rooms were filthythe floors and sheets were dirty, and to top it off, there was a cockroach infestation in the kitchen. As soon as the lights went out, they came crawling out. It's clear the roach problem is severe. Save yourself the trouble and find another place to stay in St. Petersburg. Noteworthy details: Madagascar hissing roaches

I loved this little place so much! It is a treasure. The location is incredible...just a block from the beach!!! They have wagons and beach chairs on site so we were able to take those to the beach without have to worry about rentals. The pool and lounge area is my personal favorite. Its inviting & the palm trees definitely set the mood Our room was super clean and spacious. We used the full kitchen and loved the living room that was separate from the bedroom. Im used to tiny hotel rooms so that was a nice upgrade. All in all, I had an amazing stay here..this was actually my second time back. Another perk about this location is it includes PARKING. If youve been the St. Pete area then you know how valuable that is Thanks for the great stay! We will be back!

We have stayed at Upham under its old name and owner and always really enjoyed our stay. Now it's been totally renovated and has new owners. We booked what we thought was a one bedroom apartment turns out it was the last owners office. It's extremely small and we offered to pay to upgrade to a bigger unit. The owner was extremely rude on the phone and refused. My wife then intervened and he allowed us to move at no cost (which didn't make sense). We never saw the new owners on the property only a cleaner who walked around smoking a VAP yet there's signs stating NO SMOKING. It's now a lot more expensive to stay at Upham Inn as the new owners obviously fill It's a hotel which It's not, I would rather pay now to stay in a hotel. The previous owners Dave and Melissa were always on site 7 days a week and extremely helpful, not seeing the new owners for our 14 day stay. Having said all that the oresent owners have spent a great deal of money renovating the who place. Walkability: 2 minutes walk to the beach is very convenient

Great location which is the only reason I am leaving 2 stars. New owners/management have horrible communication and are not very helpful. I had a reservation on a holiday weekend, I called the day of check in because I never received any check in instructions via email as I was told I would. Room was paid in full. They couldnt find my reservation because it was made with the previous management company which was acquired by this new group one day prior to. They kept telling me to refer to whomever I booked it through (which was directly through the website) and would not release any information claiming they couldnt see it. After numerous calls (at least 10- not exaggerating and probably more) they finally said they would email me check in information. Hours later, nothing. More calls and it was finally when I demanded them to forward to my daughters email that they sent. They kept confirming my email and I had been getting other emails so it wasnt my email or internet. There is nobody on-site to help if need anything and let me tell you- this is a property you would need something. There are plenty of other properties surrounding the area so I can assure you would have a better experience elsewhere.
