Like I said, I love the GH, nice property and great staff, but I would only really recommend it to someone looking to only spend a day or so in St. Pete. It’s a decent location for Tampa if you have a car (no location in Tampa is really perfect) but St. Pete is definitely the superior city IMO and I think you’ll have a great trip.
Not to make it any harder, but there are great things on the Tampa side too; one option is to take the the Cross Bay Ferry
https://www.thecrossbayferry.com/ that connects Downtown Tampa to Downtown St Pete while you are down here. I live in the area now, but before I did, I almost always stayed at the GH Tampa, in the Casitas. You have a lot to do down here!! If you have any questions about the broader area, feel free to send me a message.
