Loved the roll in shower. ! Loved the beach tho very tiny. Loved the pool & restaurant. People/staff & in restaurant were personable & helpful. I thank you for that. Sofa had blood on arm, one seat cushion was nasty, whole sofa need cleaning. Ugh! Bathroom wall had brown yuck running down it on left side going in. Wish maid service had been explained a bit more. Patio had French fries , orange slices & other food & a bazillion ants on door threshold. I sprayed my Lysol on some of the ants. I called front desk to vacuum patio & they did get -some -of food up. Not sure I would return.

They do not tell you that you cannot bring your own chairs or umbrellas. You are forced to rent theirs. Also no food or drinks of your own. No ice machine. This is more of an inlet vs real beach. The staff was very nice. We will stay elsewhere next time.

Worse room ive stayed in
Veryyy disappointed. No trash bag, room was facing the parking garage that has windows so absolutely no privacy, couldnt even open the curtains so here we are staying in a dark hotel room on a beach after paying over 200/night then we get there and had to pay for parking on their premises for the night so $240 for something that was motel 8 comparable

Our room was a nice size and clean. Staff very friendly. Beautiful little private beach. Didn’t like you aren’t allowed to sit on it with your own chair- there is some area to the side you can put it but they want you to pay for chairs there which to me should be included. No pen and paper in the room or list of available tv channels. Didn’t see Fox/cnn if there I couldn’t find. My mom who is 82 would have liked. A printed guide.Liked it overall nice place to stay on quiet end of Clearwater beach

It’s a decent place for a good price. The room was huge for a family of 5 although the bathroom is tiny. It’s a much older hotel that was freshened up a few years back.

Our child enjoyed all of the Winter photos around the property. Having the beach right there was a plus. Hotel itself is average at best. Beds and pillows were uncomfortable. Hotel nearby has live music nightly and is very loud until late into the night. You get what you pay for, though. Staff was friendly. Parking was never a problem.
