Enjoyed my stay. Sucked that the pool opened right when we were leaving. Definitely can tell it’s an older building. Staff was very friendly and it was convenient that a restaurant as well as store was right across the street. I’m sure in warmer weather it’s even better. Didn’t really understand charging for beach chairs when no one was there, but it was cold so we didn’t use them anyways.

Wonderful stay on a mom and 4 year old daughter beach trip. Everything was easy, the pool and beach areas were delightful, and good food options within walking distance. Also walkable to the nicer and broader expanse of the beach further north, though the smaller beach in front of the property is calm and perfect for kids.

This place is awesome. We came in for New years Eve Fireworks, (Highly recommended), and knew there were hurricane damages as we live 40 miles north of here. This place way exceeded my expectations. Everything was great, construction WAS NOT AN ISSUE, I watched the sunset from room 405 and the NYE Fireworks directly in front of the Hotel. We will be back next year and many more after that!!

We had an over all good stay. Staff were very nice and helpful. They only have house keepers every other day and we had to ask twice to get our floor cleaned but in never happened for the 5 nights we were there. The hard tile floor was very dirty. Our feet and socks were black. Besides that everything else was clean and comfortable.

I must say this is probably the worst hotel I stay in last 20 years. This is certainly worse than Motel 6 or Super 8. I am eager to know on that basis 4* rating has been awarded for this property. It asked for extra parking charge. In total I paid nearly $250 for one night stay without breakfast. It's a simple money extortion, exploiting holiday rush. I squarely blame Expedia for promoting this property with such exorbotant rates. This hotel lacks basic facility, room is extremely small, furnitures are of poor quality, cramped elevator. I never seen such a small sized bathroom in the US. If there is an option I would rather rate this property in negative number. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted. It really spoiled our family stay in clearwater beach.

We had a group of 7 ladies from Idaho headed out of Tampa for a cruise & stayed at this hotel. We booked our rooms in April & upon arriving in November we found out our two queen, two twin family suite had been given to someone else. We paid $751.45 for 2 nights. When the front desk told us they moved us to a 2 double bed room we explained that wasn't going to work, that didn't give each person in our room a bed to sleep on & we paid for a family suite not a double room. She said she was sorry but that's what she had. I asked if she had a manager available. She said she did & went and spoke to the manager that was about 5 steps away. She came out and said "I've got great news we will comp your parking". I told her that wasn't going to work we still wouldn't have a bed for each person & we ubered from Tampa airport. She then went back to the Manager & came back & told us she could give us a full refund if we didn't want our Double bed room. After looking around and everything being full I said, that's not an option. She went back to the Manager for the third time and came back with what she said was her final offer, a double room with a soft couch. I asked her if they were going to change our price and she had to go back to her manager and see. We had looked up the price & the double rooms were $179 a night we paid $339 a night for the suite. They told me they would credit me back half. Lied to again. I received $276 back. which means we paid $475 for a double
