I had an enjoyable stay at The Vinoy, mainly thanks to its beautiful historic architecture and great location near St. Petersburg's attractions. However, the service experience was a mixed bag. While the staff at the restaurants were friendly and accommodating, I faced some challenges during check-in, and the outdated conditions of the rooms dampened the luxury feel. Overall, it's worth a visit, but don't expect a top-tier luxury experience.
