I could go on and on about this place! My boyfriend and I decided to book this trip last minute and we were scrambling for a place to stay I came across Johns Pass Beach Motel on the Booking app, as we were wanting to stay on the beachfront and in a fairly average price range We had to get a later flight coming into Treasure Island and so I messaged the motel on the Booking app and within a couple of hours I received a response and they stated late check in is just fine we just need to let them know day of that we will be doing late check in and so I did just that

Once again, they were quick with response We were a little nervous about doing late check in, especially with a smaller motel but it all worked out perfectly More than perfect We told the motel we would be arriving around 2 AM (our late check in time after the flight) They told us that the door would just stay unlocked and keys would be right inside the door on a countertop and we would just check in at the front desk in the morning All of that went extremely smoothly Rose is who we spoke to most at the front desk and checked us in and also checked us out and she is such a wonderful, kind, genuine human I don’t know if it’s Rose we are reviewing or if it’s Johns Pass Beach Motel but both were outstanding in our books Such a cute little place right on the beachfront with such character and personality Everything is tropical feeling and cheery Also, felt completely safe Rose was accommodating from the time we checked in until the time we checked out Extremely pleasant stay and we will be back and in the meantime, we will also recommend Johns Pass Beach Motel to anyone coming down to Treasure Island

Where to begin This place was heavenly I stayed in room 6 it was perfect! The room was cleaner than clean

I felt so at home there Rose was amazing She seemed to always be around with a smile on her face She treated me like family The pool was so amazing I timed it and it took me a minute and twenty seconds to walk from my room to the ocean The beach was quiet and also very clean There is a rock like pier spot just a tiny bit away with benches to watch the water I enjoyed it so much I hated to leave and can’t wait to go back Oh and there is a little spot on site that has a washer and dryer to use it worked great and another little spot where you can use the motels chairs and umbrellas and other similar items with no extra cost for the beach Trust me you don’t want to miss enjoying this beautiful place So happy I took the chancebest decision ever! Thank you so much Mrs Rose for everything!!

Sharon Williams

Very clean rooms, the pool is great!! Beach beautiful and love it’s just a short distance from our room, felt like it was in our back yard! Room 6 is perfect, nestle in the corner a few steps from the pool and the balcony that you can gather around and enjoy the fabulous view of the beach Will definitely be back and hope to have room 6 again!

We went to the Bilmar week of March 27, 22 We went for rest, a safe and fun place for our 2 & 4 year old, and to have access to a warm pool and steps away from the beach That is exactly what we got! We had no issues and when we needed towels, candy, or waters the front desk was very helpful

Not only was the front desk helpful while we were there but when we left we accidentally forgot my carry on luggage with a lot of valuables in it I called them up and they retrieved it immediately and shipped it out ASAP I received it with everything in it and all in one pieceThis resort is a family friendly resort, that gave us what we needed We read the reviews and what they offered and it was exactly as described If you have kids and like kids then this is the place to goThere were issues with electricity and they resolved it ASAP and informed us It didn’t impact us as all, even our food in fridge wasn’t effectedIf you are looking for a 5 star, high end resort then this isn’t the resort for you but if you are looking for a kid friendly, safe, fun, and affordable resort at the location it is in- then I would recommend it!Thank you to to the staff who really helped us out while we were there and with my carry on, it was a very stressful situation and you reduced the stress to the maximum level possible

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This website will compare hundreds of booking websites and usually will have rates much cheaper than others! Thank me later! This hotel is one of the highest rated in this area

I’ve been staying here for years If you stay for a few nights you definitely won’t be let downI have stayed in many resorts, and the Bilmar has by far been the best ever John at the desk at night is awesome Sam a ground keeper is top notch Taylor at night is big help Mary house keeping was always a big help Amenities are everything you could you need We were having so much fun I extended our stay You can not go wrong with the Bilmar

Spent five days vacation My friend made the lodging arrangements The hotel was nice, but in my opinion over-priced

The room was comfortable, but carpet was not very clean Kitchenette was well stocked 7th floor view was very nice The elevator was s-l-o-w The beach is a VERY far walk from the rooms Being disabled, I wasn’t able to walk all of the way to the water and back Not pleased with having to go down to Sloppy Joe’s outer waiting area or out to the beach wall to smoke I can understand no smoking in the rooms, but to ban smoking on the balconies is ridiculous

Great room for a great price conveniently located in the same parking lot as a Walmart and on the corner less than a one minute walk is a Dunkin It is approximately 15 minutes away from the beach treasure Island the beds were clean the linens were clean the hotel smell clean and was well worth the moneyAbsolutely no sign of any bed bugs did we have an either of our beds and the floor was clean enough to walk on with your bare feet

The showers were very well kept and the water pressure was great the bathroom is very spacious and the room accommodated us for adults nicelyHave fun on your next vacation and I hope the Holiday inn is where you stay because I know it’s where we’re staying every time we come back to St Petersburg Florida

MudRaider

The room and location are awesome Never had a need for Service so can’t say either way Spacious room, nice little vacation kitchen, close to all kinds off things to do

Great place Only complaint, as a “Resort”, maybe put in the curved shower curtain The bathroom was like a spare rooms bathroom with a small shower and straight bar Was very tight Fat people go on vacation too! It’s an older place, but very clean, AC worked great, and the doors going out to the beach were amazingly soundproof For the price, it was a definite value

Greg Olyansky

Nice place with friendly staff Bring things with you to the beach like food, its a long walk and no immediate options available for eats Rooms were cleaned every day

A nice stay for several days Beach is good quality Bring plenty of change and cash for umbrellas/chairs, its not cheap Nice pool and nice hot tub Bar is pretty good too Strong alcoholic beverages

Nathan Milam

We had an issue checking in and thankfully after some back and forth with the front desk, their manager, Donna, was able to resolve everything and make our vacation a success Miss Doris from house keeping was very kind and attentive and we love the hilarious bartender I can not stress enough how grateful we are to Donna for saving our trip

We’ll definitely be back and can happily recommend this resort

I usually have no issues with IHG hotels but this was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had Luckily we were only there one night Dirty dirty rooms!Upon check-in, the first room we were sent to smelled like someone had just been smoking in there

The cigarettes smell was very strong and I thought they accidentally sent us to a smoking room I called the front desk and the response when I said it smelled like someone had been smoking in there was “I’m not sure maybe it’s haunted” What a unprofessional and awkward thing to say We asked to switch roomsThe second room we were given smelled even worse Immediately upon walking in it smelled like bleach and chlorine There was also a small mold air purifying machine in there with words that literally said “warning, do not use when space is occupied” We told the desk again and the clerk said “oh yeah I forgot, I can just take out the machine” We said absolutely not We’re not staying in a room that has mold and reeks of bleach when we have 2 toddlers with usThe last room we were given smelled fine But all the rooms were dirty, especially in the bathrooms The showers had a film of dirt or sand on the bottom We all ended up wearing flip flops in there because we didn’t want to put our bear feet on the groundOverall I would sleep in my car before paying to stay at this hotel again

Joe Bullen

Danny at the front desk provided outstanding customer service I booked a room with a king-sized bed online However, the hotel had no more rooms with a king-sized bed, so he upgraded me to a suite at no extra charge

There was a burned out light in the room The room had a slight moldy smell that set me sneezing after showering Walls are thin so bass and conversation from other rooms does carry into your room Deducting a point for this factAlso, beds here are not nearly as comfortable as other Holiday Inn Express hotels Might go back to Doubletree again I just think this hotel might need updating Bathrooms were clean though

Greg S

This is such a great hotel and Danny at the front desk was so very helpful All the staff has be very nice and courteous This place is so clean and the up lighting in the rooms is amazing

The location is great for vacation you can be to the north or south end of the county in 20 minutes It’s also only about 20 minutes to Tampa or 45 minutes to Bradenton Thier breakfast is great also

The staff was friendly and helpful but the cleaning staff need to be fired Every surface starting from the elevator door, tiled floors to the furniture in the rooms have not been wiped in a long time I had to wipe down all the furniture in my room due to the visible finger prints ,dirt and dust

The bed linens appeared clean The rugs were filthy The rooms and furniture are visibly dated and the hotel has an “old” smell to it I would not stay here again We paid $180/night including taxes Not exactly cheap for this level of hotel The breakfast was also not great Pretty bland

Claudia Raye

The was by far the filthiest place I’ve ever stayed Well

I didn’t stay I left!!! I will NEVER go v to this hotel again I had an asthma attack when I walked in the room The cart was filthy, so filthy i didn’t want to put my clothes on it The outside looked like it never been cleaned ever It STUNK BADLY!!! Then the front desk person had the nerve to charge me for the room even though i couldn’t breathe in this nasty place

FloridaStateFan 2017

I stayed at this hotel before heading to Miami for a cruise, and all I can say is that it’s not really up to par with some other hotels within the regionOne positive aspect of the hotel is that the staff members are quite friendly; especially one of whom who just so happens to be an Atlanta Braves fan (Go Braves!!) Another great aspect of the hotel was its coffee

It didn’t as bad as I thought typical hotel coffee would The rooms themselves also looked quite innocent and clean, including the carpetThe main negatives that I have about the hotel just so happens to be within the bathroom and bed In my room, the bed sheets looked somewhat wrinkled and only had half pillows available The worst of the negative aspects took place in the bathroom, where I found small black hairs (some long hairs, too) inside the bathtub (“Bwaaa!” [Hank Hill])!Overall, this was not my ideal stay at a hotel in Florida; and I had better experiences in my past, especially at a hotel in Kennesaw, GeorgiaTo the staff members who DO see this review, I’m sorry if this sounded a bit harsh, but there are some things that you need to improve on

Booked it for a last minute getaway as the rate was affordable and looked like a cute spot We are a couple and stayed 3 nights in room #8 Enough space for both of us

Room was clean, AC worked great; especially after returning from the hot sun I appreciate the mini kitchen with a full size fridge that had what we needed for a quick breakfast before hitting the beach Decor was modern, bed was comfortable, they even had a can opener and I actually needed one! Pool area was neat and well kept as well Beach access is directly across, a 5 minute walk and you are hitting the sand It was a 5 minute drive to Johns Pass Village It’s a quiet and cozy place and it was great It’s obvious the owners take pride on this place and it shows

Celesta Martins

We stayed here in April 2022 unit 6, this place is awesome The pool is great Both sunny and shaded areas to sit and enjoy the pool

It’s right across the street from Public beach access Bonus there is an ice cream shop right across the street too The room had ample space and a full kitchen Our first night we cooked dinner at our room, all the pots and pans and dishes we needed Coffee maker thank goodness for that coffee maker The staff was awesome in providing for us They even have beach toys you can borrow for the beach I can’t say enough good things about this place We loved Cant wait to come spend another vacation here

Maxwell Heidenson

We had an amazing time at the BBR! Everyone working there was very friendly and helpful The room (unit 10) was very comfortable for our family of 4 (kids ages 3 and 8), the pool was amazing and our kids would have stayed in it all day if we let themThe location is great, just a quick walk across the street to the awesome shake shop (which had the best and cheapest ice cream we had all trip) and the beach

We would definitely stay here again since the staff was amazing (especially Katie!), accommodations were everything we needed and the location was within walking distance to find great food, drinks and shopping!Thanks again!

Last minute stop for the night with the kiddos Jennifer at the front desk was absolutely amazing! Her customer service is top notch! I haven’t felt this taken care of in a long time She knows everything about this cute gem and will ensure you’re taken care of! We’re super excited to put in our breakfast order and have it brought to our room in the morning! Our room is very clean and the price was good for the area

No complaints I would stay here again on our next adventure Especially if Jennifer is still here!!

D Saykaly

We entered the lobby the smell is horrible! The floors are uneven and covered with carpet The AC leaked on the carpet huge wet spot! Throughout the years the re-painting and remodeling that has been done is subpar I thought it would be cool because it was historical when we got there we realized we had made a huge mistake! The staff was nice! The pool was fantastic! Don’t get a corner room near the intersection or you will not get a good nights rest! Single paned windows

Lastly we really enjoyed watching the drug deals at the Shell gas stationed across the street! At night nobody buys gas they park at the pump Wait for the kid to show up on the bicycle after that cars take off! It was a great source of entertainment Definitely will not be back! Breakfast was a joke!

alekak vega

This is an Old historic hotel, so take it for what it is and appreciate it The rooms are spacious and cozy The staff is so accommodating and on point

The place is well taken care of It is a pet friendly place and I must say it does not smell like dog in the premises In the morning the coffee ran out, and the staff was quick to run out with a small pot while the big pot was brewing so no one had to wait They really care about the property and take pride Housekeeping left extra towels and toiletries folded so cute on the bed on our 2nd day,and I appreciate these details Breakfast delivered to the room was a special treat!!! Simple and tasty!!! I can go on and on

Loved this place Staff was great The rooms were nice

I think due to staff shortage we didn’t get any service to our room, but we grabbed some extra towels as that was all we needed Close to the beach ⛱ which was right across the street Close to tourist hang outs We were told there is a free taxi service if you ask at the front desk Had a nice free breakfast buffet I would highly recommend this place The prices are very reasonable

Christine lumbasio

A frequent traveler and always stayed at this place! This time went with my 20 month old son and the staff was absolutely amazing!!! Deborah was knowledgeable and accommodating We loved our room cause it was facing the marina and my son LOVES boats The beach is a little walk but SO worth it! If you are traveling with babies make sure you use the stroller to go to the beach, there is a paved path and once you get on the sand very easy to navigate

Also, the bartender at the tiki was very friendly and we stayed here a whole week and had a great time!!! We will be back! Thank you:-)

Emily Tidwell

We had a great time and everyone was friendly But wanted to share a few things that bothered us for place that said it was a resort1

The pool was not kept very clean I understand its tourist season but it should be closed for at least 45 minutes halfway during the day just to clean it At times it was very nasty2 The pool towels were not maintained Hardly ever did they have towels stocked at the pool We tried to enjoy the hot tub but half the jets didn’t work Like they were clogged up by something3 We really liked the Cabana bar but we kept feeling like we’re going to fall into the chairs They were very damaged4 The breakfast was good but if you came 45 mins to an hour before they stop serving then you probably weren’t going to get much There were some days that the breakfast trays weren’t refilled

Nicole Plaku

Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here I am a Marriott Gold Member and the hotel was very dated The first room I checked into had a dirty toilet seat and an air condition vent that sounded like a JET was taking off

I moved to a second room and at 3 am the SMOKE DETECTOR went off blaring then it happened again at 5 am They replaced the detector the next day I had to ask to be compensated and the front desk Manager Tanya was less than pleasant and not apologetic I was attending a business training at the hotel and there were ants all over the coffee machine and stale bagels and expired soda were served The employees helping out with the training were very friendly and helpful which was a bright side to the trip

Sam Singh

I was there at the beginning of the month in my monthly training at MGE… we got in super late after a 4 hour drive… I was very tiered when we got to the room we noticed it was a bit warm … long story short the AC was broken! Called the front desk and told them… not only did they immediately change our rooms but the brought the key to our door so we did not have to go back to the lobby!! In the middle of the night this was awesome

Schlandra Fall

Me and my family went here on a short vacation This was an experience we will never forget The bed was horribly uncomfortable, the pillows were to soft they did not support our necks my husband and I barley slept due to this issue

The ice maker on the floor was so dirty that I would never ever ever even think about getting ice from there They charged for the WiFi 1295 a day Parking was at a minimum because they are repaving the parking lot The restaurant does not have a kid friendly menu or reseasonable prices The room floors are hardwood so when room service came they should have sweept the floor but all they did was make the bed and put out new towels We decided that we will not stay here again when we go back to Florida

pivolopez

We stayed here overnight last night for New Years The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating The room was decent for the cost and nicely amenities

King bed was nice and pillows were comfortable The reason for the 3 star review is based on insulation and privacy When we returned at 2am the neighbors were up and talking and the noise flew through the adjoining room door We had to have the TV on to blend it out Everything else was acceptable but that is not conducive to a quiet evening with so little sound barrier

Patti Blake

I have stayed here multiple times The only complaint I have is when I first started staying here the gave you a bag with a breakfast in it like a muffin and piece of fruit and they offered coffee with different types of cream like French vanilla etc Now they only have coffee with plain cream

They do not offer the continental breakfast any more Over all its a great stay The breakfast not a big deal but man did I need my coffee The staff was also very nice

tom aschauer

Spent three nights and four days here Not once did they clean my room, give me fresh linens, take out the trash or change the towels The ice machine on my floor wasn’t working and there is a neighboring house to the back that has a rooster that crows all day long, so try and get a room close to the front of the building

Or just stay at the Quality Inn that’s about a half block north that looks like a much nicer place to stay Although I don’t know how the rates compare But for almost $800 I think I would have expected more

Best part of our stay was meeting others staying there Quick walk to a quieter part of the beach I highly recommend staying here It’s my understanding the regular manager is normally there 24/7 Hopefully we’ll meet him our next stay there as we will be back!

Super friendly staff! Hotel was close to shopping, dining, and beach access Robert was knowledgeable about the area, offering several dining options as well as entertainment Check In/Check out were easy and communication with him made after hours check in a breeze

Rooms are smaller (if you’re doing a bigger family vacation) but would be absolutely perfect for a couples get away Living room area has a futon that my two oldest kids slept on while my youngest and I slept in the bedroom Decor is cute and the amenities were greatOverall our stay was absolutely perfect and will definitely be one we come back to again!

Best vacation I’ve had as a mother so far! My husband and I took our 8 and 4 year old here for a week The hotel was great had any and all things you would need for an extended stay and was literally less than 30 second walk from the beach I had no issues with noise and I loved that the back of the hotel had its own spray and shower station it made it so convenient! I could rave all day about the service

They have a really awesome gentlemen running the front desk (every day) He is friendly and funny and very willing to give you advice about local things to do and also interested in how things went for you He interacted with the kids and gave us anything we needed to make our time there most enjoyable! I would for sure go again! Oh and might I add the price was fantastic!

We’re staying here again next time we visit St Pete This is an absolutely fabulous spot with friendly staff, modern feeling rooms, a fantastic shower, and the best location as far as taking a nice stroll down Central Ave and hitting all the bars/restaurants on foot

Everything was clean and fresh and just comfortable If you’re planning on spending most of your day “out” this is definitely the kind of place you want to book — and it’s still more than relaxing enough when you need to bunker in and rechargeAlso, I can’t not compliment the absolutely fabulous Valet service here Yes you “have” to use the valet if you’re parking at the hotel itself — but these guys are upbeat, friendly and always have a smile Also, its clear they love their cars If you have a “nice” car, they’re happy to talk about it with you and reassure you it’s being well looked afterDownsides?: Being a “less-frills” hotels you might miss some of the extra drawer/closet space You might find yourself waiting just a touch for the elevator because of the way it’s set up (hint, once “inside” you can take the stairs to go from floor to floor”) Also being right off Central means you’re going to hear the drunk party people stumbling about late on a weekendSurprise Upsides?: The main floor (3) is absolutely stocked with guest things to do, like play pool or arcade games, as well as just grab a bite to eat or stare out the windows Also, see the earlier comment about the Valet Worth tipping these guys extra just for great service!

I just want to say Sandra and Dillon and the rest of the staff here were awesome You couldn’t have a better staff for the location of the hotel down the street from the Rays stadium! They are very customer service oriented It was my sons birthday and they went above and beyond to make him feel special

This is my second year anniversary staying here and I highly recommend this location It’s walking distance from restaurants and convenience store And anything else the people here are great!Thank youMom

I would say the best quality overall for Hilton hotels I’ve stayed in over past month Staff, Atmosphere, room quality off the chain Plus when I entered room was greeted with my name on the TV screen

Very detailed orientated Stand up shower had dispenser of Body wash, Shampoo and conditioner Next to bathroom sink was a dispenser of Hand lotion and soap Giant Smart TV 65″ at least with Guide programmed already to let you know what’s on every channel and how many minutes left on show being viewed

I’m giving it two stars because the pool area was nice, but that’s where the nice ends The room was not clean Floors were filthy

I found public hair on the toilet paper holder and bright red hair in the bathtub (no one in our group has that color hair) The pullout couch was nasty dirty I didn’t want my kids sitting on it Sorry Sands You guys need to up your game a little here For the price, it was no where near worth it Would never go back to this place Can not recommend Thank goodness we were only there one night If it were longer, I would have walked out and found another hotel

Kasper Warming

Booked two nights here and came late on arrival day, and all people we saw there where elder really drunk people and next morning we woke up to a bathroom filled with bugs and a balcony that for sure was not cleanedSo this morning we packed up all our stuff in a hurry and left to find a better place for my family, didn’t even care about that we have pay for two nights, just had to get outLocation is great but that is the most positive I can say about this place, shown on hotels

com as an hotel but is a motelSure it has been really great in 74 when built, but it needs a lot of work done to it, just to be a three star motel, have seen two star places in better conditions

Becky More

This is a hidden gem!! Definitely a older hotel but the charm and atmosphere takes you back in time when life was much more simple and relaxed

I needed a room at the last minute saw mixed reviews so I drove to The Sands they had 1 room left and I asked to see it before I booked it Great view, clean and comfortable I booked it and enjoyed our stay Ms Linda and her housekeeping crew waere awesome and the folks in the front office were great!!!! We will definitely stay here when we travel back to Treasure Island!!! Thanks again we loved it!!!

Staff was VERY friendly and accommodating The hotel and rooms were VERY clean The hotel I stayed in the night before allowed pets and our room smelt like dog and made our allergies go crazy

So it was a huge relief to be able to stay in such a nice, clean room at the Fairfield InnThey also had an actual hot breakfast bar and not the “grab and go” style with cold muffins & a banana The food was great for a free breakfastI highly recommend this hotel I literally have nothing bad to say about it It was worth every penny

I have stayed at many hotels in my time THIS particular location has been amazingTo be honest, the service here was the best I have had

We had a home issue and had to get out of the house while it’s getting fixed and I’m SO GRATEFUL that this is where we landed for 25 weeks My cat had to come with us and they were beyond accommodating They beat the price listed on any app by paying them directly I prefer to do my own room service and they allowed me to use their cleaning supplies including vacuum and all The manager Jeff Was so kind and you could just really tell that he takes pride in his job and the hotel That’s not something you see much anymore, and it was genuineAnd no, nobody asked me to write this review but I wanted to It’s spring break and everything was booked Every Airbnb and nice hotel on the beach… booked full It was some miracle that we found a place to stay and I would definitely recommend it

Shawn

This hotel still feels new for the most part Nothing was broken or out of commission in my room or elsewhere The bathtub has a nice insert on the bottom that provides good traction

I’m not sure why that’s not standard everywhere Staff were helpful and friendly with one exception, whom also recoded my door key when I said it wouldn’t open my room I just told her my room number, didn’t even ask my name to confirm I should have access to said room — concerning

Jennifer Nguyen

The location is convenient, but driving off a fast expressway and trying to turn into the hotel is a little dangerous at times We called room service a few occasions for more towels and other misc items and always had to come down to get our items, apparently there is only one person working at the front desk Breakfast is mostly hard broiled eggs, 2 waffle machines, bagels, muffins, cereal, coffee station and packets of oatmeal

We were disappointed that there were no scrambled eggs or sausage Our room was nice and clean, but a little tight Wish there was a little more counter space to put our stuff There was only a small desk and one nightstand The closet by the door smelled bad, like it hasn’t been ventilated for a very long time The maid was always friendly and tended to our needs
