Location. No resort fee, no parking fee.Can't think of anything.“This hotel has an excellent location for the St. Pete Beach visitor. Very close to a number of good restaurants, great beach, excellent tiki bars and centrally located...
I worked temporarily with Elizabeth Smith until we had to fire her 2 weeks before our wedding. This location is not cheap, yet we were treated like trash. The wedding coordinator lied, triple booked our site and continued to lie her way out of her lies. She tried to pin the bride against the mother in law with her lies, and she only got herself caught. When we tried to speak with her in her office, she immediately had a face of disdain and we could tell she'd been reprimanded for making empty promises. We never once raised our voices - we don't think that's how business gets handled.
Here are some quotes from Liz herself. Make up your own mind:
"Wait, let me go get someone in here before I'm ganged up on"
"Now that my boss is here, bring it on, start blasting me like you were before"
"Like I care about this job or wedding, I'm moving back to Dallas in 2 months"
"We had three weddings here last weekend and it was a total nightmare."
She even made up a lie about a bride threatening my life and my wedding. She's just a piece of work. The location - most of the rooms - isn't that bad and the price is right. I just wished they'd hire some sensible, professional people at the front desk and with special events. I will never recommend the Grand Plaza to anyone.

Think of budget motel and not the best one. It has some features of 3 star, but the balance is missing and it is more on motel side in my opinion. We were in #503; weird-shaped small room; better go with another one. Do not take anything on upper floor under penthouse/restorant: the weddings are going on almost every night and they are noisy. WiFi is ok but you have to ask for a password at front desk (book in the room says it is open; it is not). Just bring your laptop downstairs and they will fix it. Noisy AC in the room and no AC in hallways, just fans. Sewage smell downstairs; not every time, but often. Maid service was ok.
The beach is gorgeos; restorants nearby (Madfish and Crazy Bill) are good; this is the good part.
Great location, nice beach, comfortable

Room 819..(.and 919)Filthy! Website says completely renovated in 2006! Not true!!.Bugs in the bathroom,thick dust on light fixtures, weird drop down mirrored ceilings in bathrooms that "hover" when balcony doors open! And they are glass that almost fell crashing down on us! Lobby cluttered with painters,wallpaper strippers all week long. One elevator frequently out of service...long lines to get on remaining elevator. Waitresses slow...waited 20 mins for a box of cheerios with milk!!! Housekeeping forgetting to leave towels for two days...What's that about? Rooms not cleaned before 3 p.m.!Overall very disappointed with the service and expensive for what you are offered! Will not go back

Excellent location on a magnificent beach.Vile coffee. Pool chaises had no cushions. No beach chairs.“Chosen for excellent location right on the beach, which did not disappoint, but facility needs a decor update. Staff ok but not totally on the ball....
