| Enjoyed this room very much. For what was described as a "partial gulf view" we had a very nice view of the gulf from the 2nd floor balcony - a great place to sit and watch the boats go by. Beds were very comfortable, the in-room fridge and microwave were nice features. This hotel is about a quarter mile down the road from the public beach, Pier 60 and the marina, so it's a little slower pace and quieter than down near the pier. There are shops and restaurants, as well as a very handy Walgreens Drug Store, across the street. A very small private beach is probably a better choice for sunbathing than swimming; if you really want to swim I think you'll be happier choosing the very nice heated pool, or walking down to the public beach. There wasn't much parking available on the weekend, but parking was well monitored to make sure no one but hotel guests and employees were parking in the lot. Plenty of parking was available during the week. Hotel employees were very friendly and helpful. Rooms have recently been redone; it isn't a five-star hotel, but the room is fresh, comfortable and will serve families or couples on vacation very nicely. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and I would stay here again. |

| This hotel was clean it had a refrigerator and microwave iron and ironing board, and a coffeemaker. But the best part was the beach. All you had to do was walk out the back door and you had a choice of the pool or the beach. There were shops and restaurant just across the street. I say try it you like it. Oh yeah the hotel staff is great. |

| I was looking for a nice hotel on the beach with a gulf view but waited until the last minute and this was the only available, I was a little hesitant but made my reservation anyways since I had no other choice. As soon as I walked into the place and saw how clean it was and how friendly the staff was I realized I had made a great choice. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable, the gulf view was amazing, very tranquil at night, perfect for romance and/or to hang out with the family. I will definitely come back again, this hotel has the service and cleannes of a higher rated hotel. I highly recommend it. |

| Great for the price compared to neighboring hotels, small beach at hotel, but short walk to main beach. Extremely nice rooms, we were pleasantly surprised. A little problem with noise, I was awoken many times in the night. Overall, we had a great stay. |

| This hotel was the perfect spot for a family vacation or even a romantic getaway. The sand on the beach of the hotel was like baby powder under your feet, and the tiki bar was a great treat! We sat on the beach and watched the dolphins play in the water in the evening. Every person should have the experience of the ocean life. The hotel was so very clean and when we had a little issue with the refrigerator in the room the staff was knocking at our door in minutes after the call was placed. Oh and beds were so comfortable and clean. Always fresh clean towels as well. I would not hesitate to book a room at this hotel for our next stay on Clearwater Beach. |

| Great location (by everything). For the money could have been a little cleaner. |

| We were very pleased when we had returned to this hotel with all the new renovations that had been made. The room was nicely updated with new flat screen tv and was quite spacious. The bathroom was nicely done as well. Beach was small, but nice so kids couldn't wander off too far. Good area for looking for seashells with the kids. Overall nice place, not fancy but would definitely recommend. |

| This hotel is wonderful. The size is a little smaller than those around, but the service is top notch. The view from our 5th floor room was amazing, and the room perfect. |

| Our room was very clean with updated appliances, very roomy and a cute little balcony that was secluded from neighbors. I liked the private beach for customers only, and the entertainment at the outside tiki bar. I will definitely come here again. |

| It was a great relaxing vacations we had in a long time. Clearwater Beach is very nice, can't wait to go back. The views & location are truly awesome. You have the beach, pool & bar all with in 50 feet of each other. This hotel rocks! See you soon. |

| Took my wife and three daughters and we all had a great time. Great location. Your walking distance from food, shopping and entertainment. Nice pool area. Your own private bar and beach. Can't think of anything negative to say. |

| The hotel was in a nice, beach front location, within walking distance of Clearwater Pier. I was towards the front and was woken up around 2 am by street noise (maybe performers?), but otherwise it was pretty tame for during spring break season. |

| The entire hotel was in very good condition. The rooms were clean and housekeeping kept them clean throughout our stay. Great location on the water. The entire hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. There was a great Tike bar outside attached to the hotel. We enjoyed our stay. |

| If you want to be on the beach, but not pay a lot; this could be your place. Kids 12, 12, & 9 loved to be on the beach then jump in the pool. We just had a short stay and the place would have gotten smaller with the five of us over more days. The sunsets were great. Don't go to the IHOP attached to the hotel, service was very slow. |
