Love this hotel Julie at the front desk is so helpful along with all the staff The breakfast lady is great it’s like having your mom in the kitchen

The pool area is wonderful, beds are nice The kitchen and living room have ample space It is in a great location easy in and out and central to the beach, Tampa and get right on the interstate and Sarasota is just a short drive

Juan Salazar

The place is great, but Michael at the front desk was amazing Such a courteous and helpful young man He really went above and beyond in assisting us

Then in breakfast in the morning, most places just throw some food out and leave guest to fend for themselves You Lady that was attending to the area was very attentive and kind, I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to get her name

Clard Frenz4eva

This was the most horrible stay as a diamond member Upon checking in at the front desk,we were greeted by an obnoxious smell like garbage from the carpet in the hallway Once we got to the room, we were welcomed by a roach in the kitchen

The pullout sofa and chair in the dining area was filthy and disgusting There was a soil on the mattress We arrived just before midnight, hence we remained overnight Upon checking out prematurely, I asked for the general manager who was “on a conference call” and was too busy to speak with me This speaks volumes about his professionalism Obviously, informing the front desk agent that we will be rewarded with points, was sufficient in addressing our concerns Noteworthy, we have yet to receive said points Please take your business to the Marriott a few blocks away if you want to sleep in a clean roomOne star for both front desk agents who were professional

Chrissy Stalions

We stayed for four nights with our travel baseball team – which can be A LOT! The entire staff was very patient and friendly with all of us and our kids The gym was great and the dining and pool areas were as well The room was clean and spacious and the staff was very attentive – especially Nadia

She was very sweet to the kids and families, we all loved her! Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable

Nancy Bailey

We had a great stay, especially when we had mentioned we were a family of 5 rooms staying for a funeral, they put us all within 2 doors or just across the hall from each other The hostess for breakfast Nadia, was totally amazing Waking up to her kindness and care she showed to each of us was fabulous

She took the time to greet us and ask for anything we wanted or needed Her individual interest and interaction was above and beyond typical service Nadia each morning would make us mini waffles, and her smile and charm very enlightening We all love you Ms Nadia! 😍

Felt like a true piece of paradise, a real hidden gem So grateful to have stumbled upon such a cozy, quiet and serene little abode I just absolutely adored the ocean themed decor in the charming little room we stayed in

An absolute beautiful experience from start to finish,complimented by the unmatched kindness and care from the owners Hope to be back many times again, in the future Thank you for the sincere hospitalitySincerely,Sarah

Safety Harbor Motel was a great place to stay! Doug and Michele were wonderful hosts and very accommodating I was there for 12 nights, my son was there for 4 nights and our friends, an extended family from New Zealand, were there for 11 nights Doug and Michele worked with me to make sure everyone had suitable rooms for our stay

The rooms were clean and comfortable The efficiencies have a bed, two burner stove, mini-fridge, coffee maker, microwave and assorted dishes The one bedroom apartment has 2 beds, a roomy kitchen-living room, bathroom with tub/shower combo The kitchen has a full sized fridge and stove, double sink, coffee maker, microwave and assorted dishes There was a very pleasant 2 bedroom apartment, which was very roomy and had full sized stove and fridge, as well as the microwave and coffee makerDoug and Michele also made arrangements for our New Zealand friends to be driven to Orlando at the end of their stay I do not know of any other motel that would do that!!Thank you, Doug and Michele for going above and beyond for your guests!

I was coming down for a week stay to help relocate a relative Wanted somewhere with reasonable rates Very good choice! I was worried that I might find that “musty odor” but there was none what so ever

Owner called me on the day of my arrival to confirm and said he was turning the air on before he left and told me where I could find the keys We stayed in the 2 dbl bed apt So we had room to sprawl out I left after a week but it turned out my nieces apartment would not be ready for another month so she extended her stay there the entire month I felt comfortable leaving my young adult niece there Safe neighborhood, and the owner assured me he would keep an eye on them (her futureroom mate was also with her) Highly recommend this place if your looking for simple and clean!

The hotel needs updating It probably was very nice at one time The bathrooms are great, the meeting rooms were great (I was there for a conference) and the food was excellent

We did not buy the breakfast there because it was very overpriced The beach is a bit dirty but still enjoyed sitting by it I don’t mean dirty like trash, I mean dirty like it looks like lake water The temperature inside our room was hot The unit showed 65 but it was prob closer to 80 We sweat at night the last night I read other reviews where they had the same issue They don’t have a fridge or microwave but you can get a fridge if they have a spare one and you ask I found that weird It is 2022, hot outside, and the price suggest at least this amenity Would I stay again, absolutely if work is paying I would personally prob get a different hotel if I were choosing But it was still a good stay and I’m not opposed to returningPlease put some money into updates and this place will be worth the visit

Joel Gorrín Monzón (Joe Google Reviews)

My first impression of the hotel was not shocking It is not a luxury hotel but the reception was excellent, the entry process was fast and very good cleanliness in the main Lobby area The elevators are in very good condition and when you arrive at the room very good impression, very spacious, good view of the bay, good temperature and good smell, the best thing about the room is the bathroom, super spacious and comfortable

The only downside is that it doesn’t have a refrigerator but nothing so necessary for usMy Joe Google Rate is: 95%

Allie Taylor

When I booked, I was told I could check in early for $50 on the phone I had a surgery that morning When I arrived they charged me for and entire extra day for checking in early

When I did check in I was not given a parking pass and the parking person outside wasn’t there Finally he showed up and told us to just go in the garage THEN, I went to the room and it was the wrong room We had to walk all the way back to front desk and sit and wait for him to finally find the room that I booked THEN, before surgery I am required to take a shower, the shower is broken there is only one temperature, hell fire I tried every angle to take a shower and it wouldn’t even shoot out cold water, only hot Called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do So I had to basically burn my skin to shower before my surgery I was supposed to be sleeping before At this time I hadn’t had any sleep yet Also the pillows were rock hard They advertised room service for food and none of that was included I paid $700 for a day and a half and I would never go there again Also the carpets were filthy in the room and in the halls

I definitely enjoyed my stay here The staff was super friendly and helpful and provided me with everything I needed They had so many breakfast options which I loved and the food was great

Rooms were very clean and I love how they make little swans out of the towels and place them on your bed Wasn’t crowded in this hotel which was a plus Using the Hilton Honors app made my stay even better because I was able to text the front desk with any questions I had and I can also check in and out without contact The man at the front desk gave me physical key cards anyway even though I had the digital one The staff definitely made me feel welcomed I was acknowledged and greeted by everyone I was walking down the hall for breakfast and one of the housekeepers asked me if I needed more towels and I said “I still have enough” She went out of her way to give me more anyway This hotel gave luxury vibes and I love that If I ever stay in this area again, I’m definitely booking this hotel again!

Islam Kandil

The staff is awesome Kelli ( operation manager) and Heather were very nice and helpful Kelli was great talking and explaining and recommending beaches and places to visit

Heather was very nice and accommodating My daughter got locked out of the room and went to get a key and Heather was very nice and joked with her about it They made us in couple of interactions feel comfortable and welcomed Also to be fair all the staff were very friendly ( unfortunately I can’t remember all of their names) All in all very good experience

Amanda Timmermeyer

We received excellent care from Kelli at checking in We were headed home from vacation with a 21 hour drive ahead of us and had car trouble and had no where to go with 4 kids She let us check in before check in time and had a room available

She let us know of the pool and stuff within walking distance to keep the kids entertained while waiting for our car to be worked on Best hotel service hands down!

We love staying at Hampton Inn & Suites anywhere we’re traveling Justin was so helpful at check-in and answered all of our questions quickly Great guy and so welcoming! We spent the entire day on a road trip; we had the best night’s sleep ever

The beds were so comfortable and clean Our room was equipped with a television, microwave, coffeemaker and refrigerator It was perfect for our familyThe complimentary breakfast was delicious and the employees were so nice (especially a English woman working in the breakfast room); I’m sorry I don’t remember her name We talked about Greece and her home in England My husband and I really enjoyed chatting with herIt’s so hard to find quality hotels sometimes, especially pet-friendly ones Our Jack Russell terrier enjoyed his stay as wellWe highly recommend

MANAGERMENT ARE THIEVES, DO NOT STAY AT THIS LOCATION!Management stole money from me, lied and have avoided my phone calls and emailsBack in April 2021I stayed a week at this location as I was looing for a rental property to rentI was charged for a pet cleaning fee when my animals are registered service animals

Upon disputing this with my bank the manager declined the dispute and said that they would return the funds I never received a refund, I was presented a receipt that says they did it however upon taking that receipt to my bank I was asked for a Visa Trace #I reached back out to Hampton in and have attempted several times over the span of several months to contact them, requesting a visa trace # and neither the ASM nor Manger (Bitz) would return my phone calls nor respond to my emails and provide me with the visa trace #I attempted to go to Hilton Customer Service and they cannot do anything because its individually managedSo now I share with this to the world, if you have the option to stay at another location i absolutely urge you to do so! This is probably get deleted by paying some fee however I will continue to post until my matter is appropriately handled

Christie Rogers

I liked that the location was within 30 minutes from major places to see in the Tampa area The room was quiet and comfortable Plenty of charging stations in the room, a fridge, microwave, and a coffee maker

The bed had a comfortable mattress and a heavy comforter that made the bed cozy The breakfast was your standard complimentary breakfast with eggs, breads, and coffee There was warm oatmeal and breakfast pizzas which was something different The staff was friendly

Great hotel, clean rooms, pool was cold but nothing a bit of sunburn won’t cure The staff was great and very polite Oddly, in the middle of the night, the water goes out

I recomend fixing that water issue and having more shaded areas around the patio We would definitely go back

Codie Sanders

If you’re looking for a place to stay in the north Tampa/Citrus Park area this is it! It’s one of the few hotels in the Tampa area with FREE PARKING! The hotel is pretty new and has lots of seating areas in the lobby for anyone who needs to get some work done The breakfast food options are decent and will range between $12-$15 There’s a great outside seating area with a fire pit

The rooms are a decent size and are pretty comfortable There’s a desk in each room that make getting work done easy The bathrooms are modern and very cleanAdditionally the hotel is next to a walking trail which is very convenient for walking, running or biking There are several food options nearby and within walking distance from the hotel There’s also a mall and shopping center nearby

I haven’t reviewed a hotel in a whole long time but these two people at Marriott here really made me feel welcome They had all my room preferences taken into consideration and offered me so much during my check in 💙💯I really appreciate the wonderful, very clean, comfortable room you have for me

Not only did they take the time to rebook my next room for the rest of the weekend, Thank you Jasmine They also helped me with getting my laundry done by borrowing me a few quarters from their own pocket, thank you Ramona 🙂🙏You both really are great and kind, and they should have more people such as yourselves working or training others at property’s that don’t go all the way like you both have 🔥🤙🇺🇸💜Sincerely,Joe

I don’t know why this place is rated as a “2-star hotel” because it’s so much better! I stayed here for 7 days and it was a good experience Kim at the front desk was so personable and warm, & I felt reassured that I had made a good choice She shared details about the property based on where my room would be, and even called to check if I was comfortable a few hours after I settled in

Every interaction with her after that was consistently friendly & pleasant My room was well maintained and very clean The A/C worked with zero issues and the WiFi was high speed connection Where do you get top-notch service like that at a “2-star hotel”?The pool & hot tub was sparkling clean, grounds well kept, housekeepers always around, no garbage left in the outside bins for long etc anywhere The spacious pool & gazebo area was actually one of the nicest I’ve seen at a hotel You can lounge around and not be on top of everyone elseI’d definitely stay here again

Isaac Small

Preface: I don’t often write good reviews For a more entertaining review you may look at others which I have writtenThis is a place where the trash cans are never full

The room was clean when I got there and the AC was cold When the AC quit working the maintenance man was knocking on my door within 10 minutes to swap it out… an ordeal which was over in 5 minutes The Concierge, Andrew, works until midnight and claims to be the maintenance supervisor, but he will tell you where to go and what to eat if you ask him It’s hard to find someone so committed to a hotel that they have worked there 20 years but Andrew has and it shows I once saw him swap out a refrigerator after 11pm after a guest complaint I heard rumors that the pool is excellent, the hot tub is world class and the free breakfast is one of the best but I never tried any of that What I found amazing is Ginger Ale in both vending machines and a vending machine with ICE CREAM The diner next door, Lenny’s, also deserves a visit The best part of the room is the patio, but the towels are also fluffy

Dorothea Burkot

I travelled solo and I loved the service at this hotel! It was clean, and you have everything you need in this hotel where it includes breakfast! I really liked, and there was fresh water infused with fruits that was made everyday! It is close to everything! I felt safe staying here I definitely will return! I do recommend this hotel

My fiance and I came down for a motorcycle event for the weekend The hotel was clean & the staff was extremely professional and polite The gentleman that cleaned our room even took pics with our motorcycles

The overnights front desk staff allowed us to park our bikes under the covered entrance of the hotel so that we didn’t have to load them back on the trailer at 2 in the morning At check out the lady at the front desk took the time to ask us how our stay was and if there was anything that they could do better I will definitely stay here again Thanks you so much for your hospitality!!

C Tribel

The people are amazingly friendly! They do their best to make you feel welcome The hotel is like a motel, not a 3 star hotel Breakfast is awful!!! One ice maker working in the entire hotel

The TV is small, the room is dark, the beds are ancient This hotel and its amenities are from the early 90s Again, not the workers fault I usually don’t post bad reviews but this needs to be known Avoid!!!

Bara Sempai

My check-in experience at the Fairfield Inn and Suites St Petersburg Clearwater was absolutely wonderful Ms

Aisha who was behind the front desk when I arrived in the evening was very cheerful and respectful She thanked me for my loyalty as a Platinum Elite Member with Marriott She upgraded my room to a King Suite When she mentioned it was on an upper floor, I asked if there were any available on the 1st floor Ms Aisha took the time to look into the system and found there was a room that was open and was able to move me to a 1st floor King Bed suite And since my stay was during the holiday season, she wished me a “Merry Christmas!” as well, which was very nice to hear and I greeted her back Merry Christmas in kindUpon checking into my room, it was absolutely clean and spotless There was definitely a lot of care put into the room, especially with the complimentary coffee maker being included in the room (which were temporarily removed from most hotels and rooms last year at the start of the pandemic) and the amenity was definitely a welcoming surpriseI then went back to the front desk after bringing in my luggage to my room because I forgot to request for 4pm late checkout Ms Aisha was able to grant me that request and I definitely do appreciate her patience and cheery attitude as it was just a few nights before Christmas/into the holiday seasonThe free breakfast at the Fairfield Inn and Suites St Petersburg Clearwater was excellent It was a full hot breakfast that was offered and this hotel definitely went out of its way to show great hospitality to all the guests where other Marriott properties may have scaled down their food and beverage selections in light of the pandemic and supply chain issues As for what was offered: everything from scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, ham, plain and blueberry bagels, muffins, milk/juice, a full coffee station with optional tea bags and hot chocolate packs The breakfast attendant working the breakfast area was a wonderful young lady who always asked guests if they would like a milk or yogurt due to the mini-fridge being out of order She was also very pleasant to interact with I was wearing a Bowser face mask and she was able to recognize it from the Super Mario video games She brought up Universal Studios Orlando working on creating the Nintento World portion to their park and how excited we both were about its future opening Wonderful employee, I tipped her every morning I grabbed breakfast, she definitely deserves a lot of praiseThe fitness room was nice and quaint Two treadmills, and elliptical, and a rack of dumbbells and an adjustable weight bench I was able to get a decent workout in during my stayOverall, wonderful hotel Location is a bit odd as you have to enter the road it’s on by turning into what looks like a highway exit despite being on a local road However, it’s also conveniently very close to a Wendy’s and I was able to grab a quick dinner one nightThe Fairfield Inn and Suites St Petersburg Clearwater definitely does live up to the Marriott brand, and as a Platinum Elite Member, I would absolutely recommend staying here as the employees and management at this property put a lot of care into the service and rooms they provide for their guests

I really like this place I enjoyed the clean hotel room and the affordable price Staff and the pool are very nice Great location

I only stayed here for a few days because I wanted to try it out before I would stay here longer and it was an absolute joy to be there Housekeeping and staffed really seem to take care of the hotel and make sure the sheets were amazing and clean They are the real stars of this hotel and deserve good tips The only negative that I have is that the laundry area was very dirty and poor lighting There are some situations where the hotel can use more security lighting

Sarah Nickles

I’m always scared of places my husband picks but this was a definite winner!! The room was spacious, clean and the AC was cold!! The pool area was very nice The housekeeping staff was the bomb!! We would leave in the morning to head to the beach and come back to fresh towels, a cleaned room and beds made Central location to the beach access and restaurants are within a short walking distance

Would definitely stay again Older hotel but I would highly recommendwe stayed in the two story building

Chanelle Burris

This hotel has a good location and I would have to say their bedding is very clean AC works fine The problem is it just doesn’t feel clean at all

The floors could use a good mopping and the bathroom already had hairs everywhere before using it The drain looks old and rusty The staff were helpful to provide more towels as requested which was nice of them But these towels I found there is a stain on itThere was no fan in washroom and stains on the couches and chairs Very oldOverall it was an okay stay and next time I hope to have more money to stay somewhere nicer

Rosie Bryant

For the price the hotel was great The customer service was good Whenever we requested something from the front desk, the staff would call your room to confirm you received what you needed

I loved having a laundry room that you could use a debit/credit card for and not have to worry about getting cash The view is amazing, we had the bay side view The room is spacious and it was convenient to have a full size kitchen and bedroom that is separate and private from the living room area We love the ability to go for a swim at 7am while having a drink at the pool The grills were a plus as wellI gave 4 stars for several reasons but mainly due to the room not being cleaned very well I did address this with the front staff and they sent someone to clean the area we were the most unhappy with The pool towels are limited so I would recommend bringing your own The room could definitely use some updating and we were a little disappointed because the pictures shown on their website looked betterRecommendations for the hotel is to put larger trash cans in the kitchen, add brooms/ mops in the rooms (Especially because we stayed 8 nights), make sure enough toiletries are provided based on the length of stay, purchase more linens, and update the rooms (The tub had peeling paint, furniture outdated and beat up, and cracked flooring)Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return

Crissy Knight

Overall loved everything about this place!! Atmosphere is great Much quieter than expected Being on the 3rd floor we heard no one above or below us

The pull out couch was very comfortable, happily surprised Our only real complaint, and it’s gross Actual dirty dishes were in the cupboard Easy fix we just washed anything and everything before we used it

Jennifer V.

Went for a weekend getaway for sun, a pool and water view This place did all that The grounds are beautiful and well kept

The poolside restaurant had super hardworking and friendly staff; food and drinks were great Pool area was small and could use more chairs as they are filled up really early The hotel itself is outdated but clean overall and had everything we needed We did request toilet paper and towels twice and never received them, but when our TV broke a maintenance worker showed up very quickly Unfortunately the free shuttle bus is very unreliable; upon arrival after waiting an hour and half at the airport we took a cab And upon departure we reserved it for 10am and it was about 40 minutes late, which caused a panic as we had a flight to make Over this is a great place for quick stay for some sun and fun!

Wonderful location Bed super comfortable Electric locks took some getting used to

But would certainly stay here again When we asked for help they showed up within 20 minutes and we’re very helpful They were easy to reach if any issues happened The full-size fridge was extremely helpful since we were here as part of a wedding party 10/10

The MarBay Suites is a small, quaint motel with a kitchenette in the room (full-size fridge and microwave) The owners are working hard on updating all units, and it shows The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the room was clean

We would stay there again! Be sure to check out the beautiful Philippe Park – just a short way down the road

The rooms are a great place to lay your head and the laundry is free for all guests However I was surprised to see tiny and medium sized roached and how laxed the owner was about them being in the room While there was negotiations of a refund and an offer of a free room to change our review

The offer was taken when asked to use it The owner is friendly and nice, but don’t expect anything to be done in the right way Other than that I’ll be alright with returning if needed to stay with my own spray to combat the bugs Thank you Mar Bay for the awesome room, it was beautiful and relaxing enough as it is

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any resort This website will compare countless booking websites and typically will have prices a lot cheaper than others! Thank me later! This place is one of the highest rated in the area

I’ve been coming here for years If you stay for a few nights you will love it I’m sure!Clean rooms, nice furniture, comfy bed with pillows and chair, amenities were great (the fridge had a small freezer area inside), asked for extra shampoo and conditioner and the staff happily obliged, staff was friendly and helpful All in all, great! The ONLY small negative is that the bed was a tiny bit squeaky, but it wasn’t too bad honestly Would definitely stay again!

This was a nice hotel Beds were comfortable, not as clean as I would like but it was good for a night The people working at the check in desk were slow, and to make it longer they were chatting up other customers

One thing that surprised me was they had no complementary coffee or breakfast Like every Holiday Inn has free breakfast We were close to the airport I almost thought the plane flew up and took us away!!😂😂 Decent stay!! ( please note rooms are very dated)

First Customer service was great super polite and very attentive As it got closer to our stay I read so many negative reviews Even for the most smallest thing

We checked in May 22-May 29,2022 We had a great stay It was roomy enough room was clean and smelled clean everything was stocked beds were made Hotel looked amazing The only problem I had was I was on third floor and the website stated it was a smoke free hotel but a few people on third floor was going against the rules those people need to respect others Health especially kids Breakfast was the normal Cheese omelet sausage patty or little breakfast sandwiches muffins toast cereal oatmeal bagels People complained about the carpets yes they need new carpet For sure but clean hotel other than that such a great stay I would totally stay again

I want to say this was an amazing experience The entire staff was very accommodating and helpful I had stayed for 11 days had to add a second room for additional family coming in for my father’s funeral and they took great care of us

Thank you so very much This staff helped me during this very trying time I wish I had all of your names From gals at front desk, gal that worked breakfast to house keeping Thank you!!!

A decent hotel, comfy bed, AC working, nice pool and friendly front desk peoplePros: breakfast served early between 6a-9a I wished it stayed open until 10a

Scrambled eggs, sausages, breads, individually wrapped waffles, cinnamon rolls, individually wrapped bacon sandwiches, fruits, cereal, oatmeal, juices, coffee served every morning Terrific spread to fill you up and start the dayCons: No luck trying to get an ice bucket, apparently, they ran out, so had to settle for using a plastic bag for iceNo freezer section in the refrigerator

So, let’s get the one and only negative that I can maybe see someone saying out of the way the hotel was a tad “dated”

And even that is just being picky! However, that being said it was VERY clean and VERY comfortable Without hesitation, I would absolutely stay here again The staff was very helpful and our stay was comfortable We stayed in room 311 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay

My husband and I stayed here for two nights, and it was fine While the hotel itself is quiet, the room we had was not; we faced the road, and even on the third floor it sounded like cars were zooming loudly right by the windows, and the air conditioning was very loud as wellI personally felt the bed was hard as a rock – the mattress is EXTREMELY firm

It didn’t help that the pillows were all very small and flimsy (we got two extras from the front desk, which didn’t help) We both tossed and turned and woke up soreThat said, if you like a really (really) hard bed and don’t mind outside traffic, this place is a fine choice It was clean, the staff was friendly, and it’s very convenient The water also gets VERY hot, which is great if you like your showers scalding like I do We’ll likely stay here again, but probably bring our own pillows – and maybe ask for a room that isn’t right on a busy six lane road

Accommodating Despite My Error and the BEST Breakfast EverWe were in town to do some sightseeing in Tarpon Springs/TS and Safety Harbor We decided to stay overnight in Tarpon Springs for a full day of sightseeing and travel the short distance to Safety Harbor the next morning We are loyal Hilton guests and were happy to find a Hampton Inn in TS

I received a quizzical look at check-in after giving my name Turns out I was a day early! Despite my error, the exact room preference was available, and I was relieved especially after a long day on our feet in the hot sunThe room was very clean, and all amenities were in working order We are particular about light and found the reading lamps to be bright enough to read by Our 4th floor room was in the corner so no one on either side made for an especially quiet night Water temperature and pressure were very good I always bring my own pillow; my husband commented that his were medium The beds were comfortable Parking is free of charge Yes, the hotel is on busy US Highway 19 N but we were not bothered at all by the traffic on the pool side of the buildingWe are fond of the coffee station at the Hampton Inn properties especially after a travel day This one is in the soaring great room with lots of light and spacious seating It is the perfect spot to gather and chatThe breakfast was phenomenal After Covid, it was so refreshing to come back to a full, hot breakfast and this hotel does it up right with many choices: waffles, eggs, breakfast meat, yogurt, pastries, bagels, juices, oatmeal and fresh fruitBut the crown jewel of the breakfast was Miss Lonna who has been with the hotel for a couple of years Shegreeted and warmly welcomed every single guest In all of the Hilton properties we’ve stayed, we’ve never had such a welcome like Miss Lonna It is apparent she loves her job to be as sincere and cheerful as she is As an extra service, she came around to each table to ask how everything was and if she could be of any assistance We would return to this property again just for the breakfast experienceAfter a good night’s sleep, we were on our way to Safety Harbor for another day of sightseeing

Awesome hotel location for our vacation as our plans went 15 hrs in each direction from this site Hotel staff was absolutely awesome to work with and very accommodating

Modest price for this hotel and location considering today’s prices Hotel is located in-between Clearwater and Dunedin (which is a hidden gem) and right across the waterfront Hotel is very clean and well taken care of Staff mentioned that the hotel is going through another renovation next year so prices may increase Highly recommend this hotel

Adriano D’Angelo

solid 4 star stay More modestly priced and a short uber drive away from most of the things you want to do in the area

They also had rooms with pull out sofa beds which was perfect our group of six could each have a bed across two rooms Breakfast is included and while it’s not mind-blowing, they serve warm food which was highly appreciated Would suggest a few touchups like some dumbbells in the fitness center, some small fixes in the elevator, and making the bathroom fans work in the rooms However, it was clean, the showers worked decently well, and we paid less than many of the places in the area were charging This might not be a hotel for a romantic vacation, but for families or groups of friends needing a value stay more than they need luxuries, this place really did nicely

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room This site will compare thousands of booking websites and usually will have rooms much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This resort is one of my favorites in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you won’t be let downStill features one of the most elegant Sunday brunches in the area, although there are no real safety precautions which was a bit disappointing Food is fresh and well -prepared with a wide assortment of breakfast and lunch/dinner fare The buffet includes a free mimosa, unlimited coffee, hot or iced tea and soft drinks

Marcus Miller

As a venue for a wedding, it was a great choice Absolutely incredible dinner service, bar was great, and lighting was well managedFor the hotel/spa, sub-par

Pool is nice, but crowded Limited chairs and towels Charges for spa were supposed to be waived for wedding, but wouldn’t remove a small $32 charge because it was booked through a third party Not a big deal, but more of the principal of the matter Room service was running behind for a morning breakfast (scheduled) 21% gratuity is automatic and the price on the menu didn’t match the price on the bill Very unfortunate considering a gratuity is linked to serviceThe entire hotel needs a coat of paint and a pressure wash outside Multiple parts of the hotel either smelled of mildew or bleach The room was clean and well stocked, but the towels were rough The furniture could definitely use an upgradeRecommendation for management/owners, whoever is the hospitality manager for the venue/wedding operations should be put in charge of all the others operations as well Perhaps they would bring the service level up and we’d stay again

Chris Camerlengo

Went for spring break with my son to catch Yankee spring training A relative set us up with a 2 night stay From check in to check out was nice place

Could use better water pressure and room updates But beds were comfortable Food at hotel was solid And the surrounding areas have places to eat Was a too short trip He will return with friends next year
