We booked a 2 bedroom suite with a king bed in one room and bunk beds in an adjoining room. It was clean, but the king bed was so uncomfortable that I could hardly sleep. The kids bunkbeds were falling apart and scratched up. There is no door on the adjoining room, so there was very little privacy. They need to put a full size microwave in that unit as we could not even make our kids popcorn. Other than that, the property was well-maintained and staff very friendly. We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant, which had live music. Sunsets were unbelievably beautiful. The outside grounds are well maintained. We were also able to walk to the beach and places to shop. I would stay there again, but not in the bunk bed suite.

Disliked: Staff & service
Overall the hotel is ok. Most of the staff was nice, except the manager C.B. or at least that's what she said her name was. Horrible customer service from her. She and another guy (pool manager) made the biggest deal about us leaving our 3 young kids stuff out on the chairs. They cleaned it up and told us different stories about how long we can leave it unattended. One said 5 min the other said 15 min. They ruined our breakfast as she proceeded to argue with my husband and I about it at the breakfast table (jimmys fish house) My husband couldn't even finish breakfast he had to go sit with our stuff by the pool so they don't take it. Instead of maybe saying "hey you guys didn't know so its ok today but tomorrow don't do it." No she wanted to be completly rude about it. However we seen other people do the same and no one came to move their stuff. If you have rules apply them to everyone. And she sits at Jimmys Fish House bar almost every night drinking its just unprofessional to see. Rooms can be cleaned better floors always dirty, our socks were black on the bottom. Some of those vents in the hallways are black? Mold?

This may sound weird, but their toilets in the rooms are so low to the ground, made getting up difficult. If you have any issues w getting up, I don’t recommend. The toilets reminded me of the ones at my son’s preschool designed for preschoolers. Bed you sunk in and made a pain to get out of. But very clean and walk to beach isn’t Long

We did not have a good experience. Our room was changed that morning to a smaller room but for more money. They said our room was still available, but for more money than Expedia confirmed for us 3 weeks earlier. someone canceled it and changed it to the smaller room on of near the day we checked in. Expedia didn’t do it and we didn’t do it so it had to have been the hotel. Our room was broken so they moved us to another room. That’s room did not have electricity at the bedside and the phones didn’t work. They kept trying to reschedule maintenance to come up, but we just wanted to enjoy our trip and not wait for maintenance. It should’ve been fixed before we got there. I kept having to run downstairs to talk to the front desk because the phones didn’t work. I counted The young man at the desk, saw my frustration and offered to comp is a full day. I trusted him and didn’t ask for it in writing so when we checked out, they said they couldn’t do it because they didn’t believe me and said he probably was just comping you for the day rate of 30 some dollars. I said no he said we would only City he probably was just be charged for five nights, not six nights. The said no way. The staff and the property outside were very nice, but the game room was closed. All the video machines were gone there was no mention of that on the website. The glass door was locked and the sign on the door said game room closed sorry for the inconvenience. Love Clearwater, but it could have been better.

Hotel desperately needs a remodel

The hotel itself looked very dated. The curtains were stained, the bathroom looked very dated and the toilet was very low to the ground. The TV kept losing signal and i coukdnt get the shower head to work.The hallways need to be updated and were very hot. Carpet and walls showed wear and stains in the hallways. Staff was ver pleasant. Restaraunt had a plumbing issue (I assume) as they had water flowing on the floor into the main eating area that had to be mopped up constantly and a fan placed to try to dry the floors. Good location, staff friendly, but the hotel needs a huge remodel. The first floor rooms facibg the parking lot are used for storage and you could see piles of artwork and stuff shoved in the rooms. At least close the curtains so people dont see this. Not a comforting feeling when walking up to the hotel.
Looks nice upon entering, but curtains were stained, and blackout curtains had black specks (mold?)and staining as well.
