Beautiful hotel The front desk staff was absolutely amazing The front entrance is great and has a carport in case it rains your bags won’t get wet

The pool in the back is pretty awesome too The rooms have private entrances to the pool from your room – very nice touch They also have free snacks and the lobby such as hot fresh popcorn

Benjamin Spargur

I stay and Holiday Inn Express hotels all over the country and even one in Italy and this one is slightly below average The staff was good but the room was a little rough and the bathroom and tub need some work One of the male hosts at the front desk was waiting for a couple to make a decision and got mad at me and told me “You will wait” when I asked to checkout a food item

The breakfast was good but ending at 9 am does not cater to vacationers

Paul Nalepa

Over the last 4 nights I stayed at 3 different Holiday Inns and this one seems the best Their breakfast had the best selections, all items were stocked at all times, and they even had an Egg-white veggie omelette Kids loved the automatic pancake maker…A Pond with Ducks outside your window, but overshadowed by High-Power electric lines…

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

The hotel staff were all very nice They gave us suggestions for nice restaurants and beaches The breakfast was very good and complimentary

The cleaning crew were very discrete and managed to clean our room and provide fresh towels every day We will be back again We also used their complimentary shuttle back to the airport at 4:30 am which was a nice convenience All around a great experience

Mary F. Samara – Magermans

I rarely give 5 stars, so what I usually look for in a hotel es cleanliness, and good beds, any other amenities are not so important, however this hotel surpassed my expectationsWe had a 3 night reservation for this hotel, the first night there was an issue with the room and switched rooms the next day (the hotel was full, no rooms available), and even got a discount for the inconveniences, the breakfast was surprisingly good, most hotels now just barely offer coffee & a cookie, this hotel had : 2 types of cereal, 3 types of bread, cream cheese, butter, soy butter, almond milk, 2% milk, waffles, oatmeal, 3 types of tea, eggs, sausage, coffee, hot chocolate, cranberry juice, apple juice, orange juice, bananas & applesCoffee Maker in every room, clean towels, I am not a fan of the closet, I like drawers not hangers

The bed was super comfortable, the pillows too, the sheets were clean, I kept complimenting them cause I was very surprisedWe Checked out but decided to extend our stay so 1 hour later, called to check in again for an extra nightThe elevator was good, free parking, had water in the lobby, masks available upon request, overall, it’s a great option, the price is fair and friendly staff 👌My only recommendation would be employees should wear a mask when addressing mask wearing customers

emma woodrich

This was my second time staying at this location I love this location due to the cleanliness, comfort, and customer service We absolutely love the pool area, the pool is heated and comfortable even on a cold day

The hot tub is plenty big, and there’s plenty of comfortable pool chairs and tables, grills to cook out, and it’s so clean! We love watching the airplanes take off while relaxing pool side Breakfast was kept well stocked and there was plenty to choose from The room was updated and the bed and pillows were so comfortable, I slept great Outside noise was minimal All staff members I encountered here were very helpful and kind I very sadly had to remove 1 star from my review due to our room not being ready upon check in We arrived 45 mins before check in, so we understood our room wasn’t ready Unfortunately the room was not ready until 1 hour after check in We sat in the lobby during said time, the lady at the front desk was kind and offered us a pool side seat I declined as I was extremely tired from just flying in, and I really just needed to lay in bed All in all, I will recommend this location to others and will likely stay here again

This was the best hotel I have ever been too The rooms were extra clean, service is great, and it is very close to where my filming is Beds were amazing, No bed bugs, good price, a full kitchen, there is a room in the hotel to do laundry (it’s not in the room but that doesn’t matter)

Bathroom was clean, and I just love everything!To me it is a 5 star I really recommend this hotel if your looking for a great vacation!

Phillip

Fantastic accommodations in the Clearwater location We liked it so much we came back for our vacation the next year Clean rooms, great prices, very comfortable beds, cold AC, laundry

Shout out to the staff, who work very hard, and are very accommodating Special mention for Heidi, who has unbelievable hospitality skills, knows the answer to every question you may have, and is a bar raiser for phenomenal service

Jay Weisenberger

The Simply Suites concept is Rad Basic extended stay hotel Good for single night stays as well

They have a nearly identical motif at each location so you feel at home everywhere you goSonesta has a series of brands depending on the amenities you want and the price you want The Simply Suites hotel is enough for me A clean room with towels and linens changed on Friday A kitchenette, with refrigerator, microwave, and stove top A dishwasher and is stocked with utensils and pans you might need I could pick these hotels apart for peeling paint or a damaged lamp shade, but I’m looking for a place to stay while on a travel assignment I’m not looking for fancy I’m looking for a clean comfortable room with all I need and none of what I don’t

Susan Settele

Right from the start, you can tell that they are customer focused! That means a lot these days There’s an old world charm to this place that you don’t get in the corporate hotels The hardwood floors and the vintage decor/large nostalgic murals & canvas prints Bring you back in time

They give out free water bottles to start, then anytime you want them The pub/taproom best foods in Saint Pete, and we tried a lot! It’s an excellent place to stay if you want to walk to some of the best little restaurants or down to the pier The bathroom in our king room was definitely smaller than I would hope for since we stayed for five nights And the view of the parking lot wasn’t that great Wish we could’ve had a balcony room, but those booked too fast The other positives made up for any negatives The outdoor pool, bar & staff were the best! Although it was only in the 70s most of our stay, we always took advantage of the sun, lounge chairs, cabanas, drinks/food and the music at the pool! Very cozy feel even though you’re downtown:) Will definitely be back!!

thomas patterson

Stayed here with the family a few nights Great place in downtown Very close and walkable to the pier, and many other things

The pool was nice I would have liked to take a water bottle to the pool deck for me and my daughter but I guess that isn’t allowed, which i suppose i understand I wouldn’t want bunch of rowdy folks sneaking liquor in either The room was nice and the staff was very helpful

Sandy Foster

I love this place! All of the staff – from front desk, housekeeping, wait staff, bartenders, maintenance

were exceptionally helpful and kind This is a historic hotel, so yes, the rooms are a bit small and dated, but that’s part of the experience If you don’t want that experience, go to the Marriott The hotel is clean and well maintained The pool area is a gem in the middle of the city Hotel is easy walking distance to cafes, museums, waterfront, etc The food and service in the restaurant were great Outside dining in long, covered porch is lovely, albeit, somewhat noisy with street traffic, but again, it’s in the middle of the city

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

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

Craig Hughes

Awesome location Walk right on to a great beach Nice heated pool

Rooms are individually owned and vary greatly Make sure you look at pictures of the exact room you are booking so you know what you’re getting Our room had a great setup Had 2 balconies and came with beach toys and chairs (although one chair was broken) Room could have used a little more upkeep and deep cleaning, but we didn’t spend much time in the room We were out enjoying the beach!

Linda Scott

The Island Inn is in a great location and the view from our room was spectacular! Staff was friendly However, the room was aged Decor on the walls was fitting and calming

But furniture, floors, baseboards, shower, bathroom area, closet doors all need repair or replacement Pool area clean and great, beach awesome It is sad to pay so much and not have updates and repairs needed To me the room felt like cleaning and upkeep isn’t a priority But I did love the view and pool!!!

Nichole Harrison

Awesome! Stayed in room 415, (the mermaid room) waterfront view of the Gulf It was very clean and nice, (looked newly renovated) had everything we needed We were able to cook on a two burner stove top and it also included a air fryer oven and full fridge

Our room had a king bed and a queen Murphy bed so we were able to sleep 4 With a couch/living space The grounds were really clean, everyone was so friendly, the staff was very accommodating The beachside bar was hopping and they serve snacks (pizza, cheeses sticks, etc) throughout the day Very centrally located, so easy to get to Can’t wait to go back

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

Barbie Vining

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!!!

Lily B

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

This Hilton was definitely one of the better Hilton properties I’ve stayed at recently Unfortunately, I’ve found that Hilton’s standards have declined DRASTICALLY ever since the onset of COVID-19, but this hotel thankfully has managed to preserve the Hilton standards I once knew and loved The property was impeccably clean

The room was drop dead silent at night and the bed and its linens were excellent I slept like a baby at this hotel My only critique that is NOT a fault of the hotel is that there aren’t many dining options nearby Most restaurants will be a 10-15 minute drive, so if restaurant proximity matters to you as a traveler you may want to consider somewhere else Nonetheless, I’d recommend this hotel and would stay again if in the area

Shane Van Wasshnova

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This site will compare thousands of booking websites and normally will have rates a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the best in the area

I have been coming here for years If you stay for a few days you for sure will love it I’m sure!The staff at this location were all wonderful and hotel is beautiful Our Jr suit was very spacious and pretty modern The only thing I recommend is eating out The LuX restaurant is super expensive and tasteless We had a better breakfast at a local Cafe named Cosmos Other than that everything including the pool and the nature trail were beautiful Wish you would modify the pool hours since there is some people that can only go in at night

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

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

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

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

Hotel looks very nice, but my daughter was BIT by either a bedbug or a flea! I was laying in the bed feeling very itchy, so I thought I’d go and take a shower to see if that helped I moved to the other bed in the double Queen room and was fine A few minutes later, my daughter complained itching and something biting her

Low and behold, she had three visible bites from laying in the very same spot I was laying in The front desk manager didn’t offer any kind of refund but the lady working the night shift brought us clean sheets My daughter refused to sleep in the bed after getting bit so I sacrificed for my child’s comfort, and went back to the itchy bed I felt something crawling in my hair and felt itchy most of the night Sadly, I was told by the hotel manager, Erin, that only housekeeping could verify if there were live bugs, which is quite comical since fleas and bedbugs are very tiny and hard for the eye to see as it is!!!! She basically kept saying it might have been a mosquito and made me to feel as if my claim was invalid which was quite insulting She definitely could have taken care of me by offering some kind of refund credit My total was $179 and some change after taxes she just kept repeating we were staying at a discounted price already and she could offer me a free drink or food item from their snack bar I would have been a returning customer if they would have taken care of me but bugs and bites are a HUGE NO FOR ME!!!! Terrible Poor business Poor management So disappointed!!!! I asked my daughter to show me her bites, and yes she got three visible bites from laying in that bed!!! I have one bite on my leg as well but it’s all in my head, right? People beware!!!! You will most likely have the same issue and be made out to seem as if you’re making it all up… I was told pest control just came and sprayed Tuesday so obviously they have a problem with pests to begin with GO SOMEWHERE ELSE UNLESS YOU WANT BUG BITES!!!

Do not stay at this place My card was charged THREE times and all were for the wrong amount Read entire review

Upon checking in I find my fire alarm in my room is beeping LOUDLY I go to the front desk to see what can be done It was late so no maintenance was available The clerk, who was very nice, called her manager to see what to do There were no other available rooms like the one I reserved, the manager offered to split up my party, take two rooms at twice the cost or remove the fire alarm ( saves lives) and I said absolutely not, the manager replied, you can check out if you want thenAt that point it was 10pm and I was ready to get sleep I had to take couch from the front lounge to stand on to reach the fire alarm to take it off the wall I’m 6ft tall and I was on a couch on the tips of my feet to get this off the wallAfter my stay, I received a online survey about my stay I and answered it honestly and politelyI am back in town this upcoming week for work, again, I booked a stay here, again, as it’s 12 miles from where I have to beErin called me just now and revoked my reservation due to me leaving a negative review What type of business does this?!My first name is Jack and my last name starts with the letter S If the owner of this hotel are my review, please call me

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

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

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)

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

Irmarie Govind

Amazing property in St Pete Beautiful, impeccably clean, attentive staff and great location

The staff was amazing from the time we checked in to the time we checked out!!! Devin check us in and made us feel welcome every time we talked him Vicki, Victoria, Nathan were all very friendly and helpful We actually extended our stay an extra night because of Kendall

Our room very clean Chris was very helpful when we needed extra supplies for our room Breakfast was great every morning and the choices and freshness were perfect Gwen was very friendly and kept the breakfast area well stocked Thank you!! Cowboy and De from Virginia Beach, VA

Mike Guigli

I would give this hotel a five star rating for the service Most notably was Chris and Ale who we interacted with several times They were respectful and especially cheery; they just left us with a wonderful feeling

One thing to make sure you’re aware of is if you have a room that abuts another room with a doorway between the rooms you may want to ask for another room Despite the door it’s almost like you’re WITH the folks next-door The hotel designer or builder should have taken much more care with sound transmission
