This hotel is just for the gay community. The room was hot and the bar stays open until 4ish in the morning so don’t think you will get any sleep before they close because the music is so load all I could do was lay there and feel the beat in my chest and head!!! I’m not saying I wouldn’t recommend this place but it just wasn’t a good experience for my husband and myself.

As a middle aged lesbian couple we were pleasantly surprised by this little gem! We came to see Patti Labelle perform at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts and booked a room to stay here after the show as we are from Ft Myers/Cape Coral. We had so much fun! The Christmas cabaret style drag show was fun (and no offense ladies but drag really isn’t our thing) and oh so festive and the vibe was just really gay and positive and sweet and maybe the night sky shined just a little brighter in St Petersburg tonight.

So so but amazing location
Room had no self controlled heat or A/C available. You could hear every word spoken in the room next door, so it’s not quite but they do warn you of this at check in!

A fun eclectic “gay” hotel.
Mari Jean and its staff are a fun and accommodating hotel and crew. It is a fun specialty hotel (gay centric) but just as welcoming to M/F couples. It is always clean and well maintained for an older building. We love the eclectic decor, (very gay centric). Some rooms can be loud because of the club downstairs, so if that is a concern always ask for a quiet room.

5th Check-in and Still The Best
This is stay # 5 or 6, can't remember for sure how many times. However, the level of service has always impressed me. This is not The Ritz Carlton with all the modern nuances as this is a retro-fit hotel. The curator as we have come to find out is known for transitioning older hotels into gems. A diverse background in corporate restaurant decor and a local interior design with a special flair for turning deplorable establishments into beautiful works of art. Thank you to the owner and his staff for revitalizing an old building and not tearing it down to build another eyesore of the future. Can't wait for the next visit.

Mari Jean on my birthday
We went here for my birthday and the day was pretty nice the place was nice enough that we stayed an extra day. It is downtown St Pete which makes it very convenient for everything there was never really anybody there that we saw I don't know why the desk was always empty but it was not like people were sitting around I don't even know if anybody else is in the hotel room. The staff was very kind that I did run into and it was very nice and clean. The room was awesome decorated and lights and green and black and it was just amazing the shower was less desirable but can't have everything. Breakfast was something that was not really special or spectacular either but it was nice to have a cup of coffee and the Danish before we started our day.

I have never been so happy with a hotel experience as I was staying at the Mari Jean. The staff were incredibly kind and so friendly. Drew was amazing and gave us great advice on places to go. Everyone stopped to chat with us and gave us great food suggestions. Tom was an absolute pleasure to speak with and really went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. I have never felt so safe in a space that wasn’t my home. We loved our stay and will only stay at the Mari Jean when in Florida. Thank you to the staff for an amazing time and we can’t wait to come back with more friends!!!
