Nice pool area, walk to a nice public beach, lots of great places to watch sunsets, and a variety of different activities at or near the hotel.

Positives: View at sunset.

Negatives: Paying for parking when straying at hotel, why is this not part of room cost.

Overall the hotel is a very nice Holiday Inn. However I was a bit dismayed to find out that parking wasn't free and that there wasn't even a continental breakfast included.

Positives: Very tastefully decorated.

Negatives: Having to pay for parking.

Nice, but not worth the price. We were there for a wedding. Family stayed in nearby hotels, which were cheaper and just as nice. Cheap and few towels in bathroom.

Positives: Location

Negatives: Bed bugs.

Hotel room was nice. Location was good. View was spectacular. Music from the bar traveled up 7 floors and was annoying. Could not sleep until 2:00 AM after music stopped. Hotel restaurant was good but service was average at best.

Positives: Location was great.

Negatives: Music from bar too loud until 2:00 AM. Could not sleep.

This hotel was more than I expected for a 2 star hotel. It had a nice small refrigerator in the room and microwave. A large plasma flat screen TV. Balconies I think for every room. Bed sheets are clean and comfortable and everything was very clean and looked redone. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Positives: Decoration, and cleanliness.

Negatives: It was not right on the beach.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a weekend trip and were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were recently renovated, were well apportioned and decorated nicely. The hotels included kitchenette and a flat screen television. The rooms were clean and the staff was helpful. The hotel is located in directly on Clearwater Beach with beach access; however, the beach area is not as nice as at some of the other hotels on the beach. Great value would stay again.

Positives: The hotel was recently upgraded and had great amenities.

Negatives: Beach access was not as nice as other hotels on the beach.

It was clean. Had good facilities - pool, salon, game room, laundry, workout room, etc. Cleaning staff did a very good job. In a good location. Called to alert me that my car alarm was sounding in the parking lot. In the afternoon, perhaps when they were busy, the front desk was not as responsive as I would have liked.

Positives: Workout facilities, pool, hair salon.

Negatives: Front desk mostly very helpful, a couple could have helped more.

Great location! Wish it was on the beach itself, but the pool and the large deck waterfront more than made up for it. The beds were comfortable, I had no trouble sleeping at all. With 4 people in the room the suite with the 2 bathrooms was phenomenal!

Positives: The suite set up/2 rooms/2 TV's/2 bathrooms!

Negatives: Was not on the beach.

Nice hotel enjoyed our vacation. I think it is a little misleading about the beach though. Yes, it is beach access but not to the actual beach part.

Positives: This hotel was family friendly. We enjoyed it a lot.

Negatives: Well it said right on the beach and we thought we were able to get to the beach a little misguiding.

This hotel is clean and definitely geared toward families with smaller children. The bar closes early, no hot tubs and no in room safes. Located 2 blocks from the beach and buts up to the jetty. The area is under massive construction and it is not easy to maneuver around by car or foot. The hotel was selling daily parking passes to spring breakers so I felt my car was never safe. The cleaning team only visited once in a two night stay and I had to call for additional towels and coffee. The staff put us in an ADA Room and I think the room amenities had to be taken out for wheel chair room, so the shower was hand held, no vanity in the bathroom etc (we personally did not like this). The restaurant had nice buffets in the evening but was a bit over priced. We are a childless couple and due to beach access and lack of outside amenities we probably would not stay there again. We like hot tubs, bands, music and tiki bars. It was spring break when we visited but the hotel did a good job of keeping the crowds out. It appears that Clearwater Beach is undergoing massive construction and parking and walking areas are at a premium.

Positives: Would not stay there again.

Negatives: No in room safe. No amenities for adults w/o children. Was selling parking spaces to spring breakers daily so my car had pings on it.

Holiday Inns are always great.

Positives: Warm pool, newly remodeled rooms.

Negatives: No Jacuzzi, no breakfast included.

The Ramada Inn would have been a great deal. Instead we were ripped off. They sent us across the street to bueno visa motel. A one star budget old hotel. The room was depressing. The furniture was peeling. My allergies fared up. I was so disappointed. Our plan to get up and enjoy the pool was cancelled. We got up and left.

Positives: Nothing.

Negatives: It was not where we were booked to go to.
