This is a great option for those on a more limited budget. Its clean, staff are friendly and has a pool and beach access. Short walking distance to Pier 60 activities and lots of places to eat or drink nearby. Not fancy but good enough. Next door is a hotel with a band that plays nightly with outdoor patio for eating and beach rentals.
Great location, very laid back area with great restaurants to choose from. However, the hotel next door plays live music every day VERY LOUDLY, which was annoying as my friend and I went there to relax. If you’re into live music, great. If not, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.
Well this is an antiquated old hotel, only good thing is it’s on the beach. Wifi does not work, towels ar e like sandpaper and you have to give your room deposit to get a tiny scratchy beach towel, but you need 2 to cover the chair! If you don’t return it it’s 10$ each!
It is really quite archaic and disgusting..lie I said spend more, for better accommodations.
Stayed here for work the wife did not work and when I called the front desk they were ignorant and said: "there is nothing I can do about that". I had to go to Starbucks every day for work to use their wifi. Also on TripAdvisor, it said there was breakfast ( there's not)
I was quite nervous staying here because of the negative reviews and was ready to move to a different hotel if it all goes wrong, fortunately, we didn't have to do that! The location was great, it has it's own private beach and a mini pool ( we didn't really come to clearwater for the pool, if we did, we would have gone to a chained corporate hotel). The Pool is clean as well, check-in was straighforward, we were a little early but they accomodated us, the lobby is well lit, the elavator was not slow as I read in the reviews, people just like to complain I guess, they have 1 elevator which would make sense since they have a small place but would not hurt to add one. The room that we had was nice, it was clean, great smell, we both loved our room, there was no bad smell like I thought there would be especially if you turn that AC on. They have mini shampoos and conditioner, they have a working fridge that actually works and you can ajust the temp, they have microwave, stove, utensils, dishwasher, a nice size TV, iron, hair dryer, they have everything considering for the price you pay, not a bad deal at all, I was a little worried about the sphereds beach being too aggressive at their music playing until 1 am or So. but it wasn't that bad( yes, we were facing the shephered's view + beach, which was beautiful) just turn on the AC, we both have no trouble sleeping, but be aware of shephered's. They do housekeeping per request. No breakfast, but the location of this hotel is amazing, walking distance to restaurants, near to convienience store and some botique. I love that it's near to Sandkey, we walked over there too! Wifi could a little bit tricky especially if you are at the corners. Great Stay, Really Great price!
My suggestion would be, to add a two bottles of water per room and they can charge the guest if they want to drink the water ( just put tags on it), because that would be convenient( we have been drinking bottles of water, not a fan of florida tap water, there is a funny taste to it, even in the restaurants) and maybe change the hallway lights, for more nicer aesthetic look, put extra mat or change it to a longer one in the ground elevator entrance because I feel like its a little too short, can be quite a little dangerous if you are wearing slippers, I notice that area tends to collect a puddle of water on the right side are that the wasn't covered by a mat. Lastly, maybe have an additional filter in the hallways.
