The only thing I would like you to add is pots and cutlery for the kitchen, I think it is the only thing that would be missing for the room to be a complete 10/10, I absolutely recommend this place.

It’s old style buffet Florida Motel. The family running the property were responsive and helpful. Kitchen was basic and we brought our own pots and pan, cutlery too. We were happy with these very simple accommodations, decent beds and clean sheets and towels. No frills, but that was fine for us.

I liked the room and was happy that they still had a smoking room which is usually not available anymore these days the room was clean even tho it was an older place i The owners were very rude and almost returned my money bc they saw my suck brother (who is in chemo treatment for stage 4 lung cancer ) They didn't say why however the woman w to I assume was the wife said " oh I can't rent you the room , you have to much stuff" when the man can't to the front he spoke to her Im foreign language and she took out money and gave us a key to an upstairs room. We stayed for 2 days and in the 3rd day she said she would t take our reservation bc we had too much stuff and the man that I was with us suck. They were both very rude and racist and wouldn't even speak when I said good morning they just gave me a nasty look .I would recommend the hotel if not for the very rude nasty owners or whatever they are personally I think they should go back to whatever country they come from bc they clearly do not appreciate our great. Country and the opportunities that have been afforded to them by the USA right now they could possibly be somewhere that isn't as comfortable so they don't belong here making us uncomfortable. J/S

The hotel rooms are extremely outdated. The tub was dirty. The refrigerator was dirty. The air conditioner was old and not keeping cold. The website is very deceiving

I asked for a pet friendly hotel when I booked it and it gave me the hotel. After being there , a woman confronted me and asked me for my dog's card , which is against the law. I contacted a lawyer from American disability act and they said they're not allowed to ask for my dog's card. So they may be hearing from me.

Nothing. It was so nasty, we left and went to another property. ABSOLUTELY NASTY PLACE! DIRTY, MUSTY, NASTY ROOM. Corner of the sheets had slobber stains. Coverlet filthy, as was carpet. Door had a 1" gap all around. Guy at window (office is never open) was stoned, couldn't speak English. I came to St Pete for eye surgery, so I didn't take pics of Rm 105. After surgery, we took our bags and booked another stay elsewhere. I wasn't about to compromise my vision in a dirty room. Booking will do NOTHING about a refund, telling me to call back the stoned hotel manager. Isn't that why you're here booking? I could have called the property to book in the first place! Common sense would tell you I booked another hotel for the same time up the street. No point in using Booking if they "sugarcoat" the hotel room photos for their website, and don't stand behind their loyal customers (of over 4 years.) REPEAT...I DID NOT STAY HERE, IT WAS A DUMP! BTW, not everyone that comes here is on vacation, so unfortunately I took no photos. I just wanted my eye surgery over, and get my stuff out of that filthy room, and to sleep in a clean room for the night.

What I thought was odd was you conducted all transactions through a small sliding window. There were a lot of construction workers and people placed by FEMA. But, surprisingly, it was quiet and we didn't have any trouble. The parking lot was well lit. The website stated that there weren't any bedsheets on the beds, but there were, and they were clean. Overall, the stay was better than I expected.

This hotel was closed for any reservation made through a booking agent. I was given a $75 rate and used my cash key of $5 so I was expecting to pay $70. I was charged $129. I was shocked and it was too late for me to find something else in this area. I will be contacting Hotels.com about this. You should not advertise a property that is only used for Cema and construction workers. I felt very unsafe.price gouging nasty place!

The check in was an absolute abortion. It consisted of walking up to a small window (8 x 10 inches) and pushing a button to call a human. The man came to the window and I announced I have a reservation, and my name is Erwin Cohen. He asked my name at least 5 times and I spelled it also. He spoke very poor English and it took a lot of time to communicate. He was Indian and extremely difficult to understand particularly with aa lot of traffic noise just behind me. He finally gave me a bill and wanted $78 to pay for the room. I gave him a copy of the Expedia confirmation and he said they were no longer affiliated with Expedia Expedia still has them on the their website. He the backed off and said he will copy the reservation confirmation and gave me a room key.

The property was a mess, very dirty inside and out. I booked my room for a Saturday and Sunday. It was very late Friday night when I booked this room. I drove there to see if I could stay Friday night also. I offered to pay, but I was told not to worry, because the refrigerator didn't work. Plus it was a room for the handicap, meani g the shower head was only four feet off tge floor. Door deadbolt didn't lock, screen falling off window. Back bathroom window,was very low to the ground and as far as I was co concerned it made me feel like that room could be easily broken into by anyone. The worst parr was that hetold me not to worry about paying for Friday, since I arrived there around 1am. He absolutely gave me the impression that I wasn't being charged for Friday, because of it being a handicap room and also the refrigerator didn't work. WhT happened was he did charge me for Friday and Saturday, so when I returned later Sunday to get some sleep and be able to shower in the morning, I couldn't get into the room. He had deactivated my key even though my booking reservation clearly was for the dates of that Weekend. I spoke to him and he clearly didn't care that I was inconvenienced and misled into a agreement for a room that was one of the worst places, I have ever been. No wonder some of us at times have a difficult time being patient and understanding when business owners don't care.

This was a miserable stay. The room was in such bad shape. Damage to the walls and ceiling were simply covered in drywall compound and left (no sanded or painted, just lumpy dry moldy compound). The second day we arrived to find ONE of the two beds had been made, while the other was left as it had been. The trash cans were still full. The man at the "Window" (they locked the lobby 24/7 and you had to use a walk up window like a cheap road side ice cream shop) barely spoke English and apparently has hearing issues. They have signage saying to be quiet and respectful, yet the what appeared to be family of the owners had a nice loud get together after 10pm in the lot. There were 20-30 people being loud and having a great time keeping everyone up. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

The pictures showed a very nice place, however I think they were taken 40 years ago. It's old and run down. My itinerary said " kitchenette ". But it was just a broken microwave and and fridge. No sample soap or anything. No coffee maker. A broken ironing board leaning against the wall. Very disappointing

During a 3 day stay, house cleaning never once entered the room to my knowledge. Even thought I was gone each morning and afternoon. Service person seemed to wait until I was at the door or in the room and asked if service was needed. I did manage to get fresh towels one day. Building is old, some attempts at being modern have been upgraded. There is a hair dryer, ironing board and iron, nice refrigerator, microwave and large TV. No drain control for the sink and the bathroom tissue holder is broken. Place looks good in the photos but the devil is in the details. If you want morning coffee, you have to drive about 4 blocks to Dunkin Donuts. No in room coffee.

In one word NASTY! From the moment we pulled in and saw a couple doing crack on the North stairwell, kind sums it all up. Then I pulled up to the check in office, and although the sign said OPEN, it was in fact closed. So I ring the bell, and this clearly perturbed older brown man opens an 8 inch by 11 inch window and says yes? I said I'm checking in. It was obvious that I interrupted something of his. He asked for my ID and said 2 to check in? I concurred. He then proceeded to give me one pass, for a room that he thought was ready. I asked him for a second card and then I got that nasty look from him once more. Let's just say I did not feel welcome here at all. Then we go to our ready room? after being on the road for 10 hours, we just needed somewhere to change and relax. OMG what a nasty room this was. Now I know this was rated 2.5/5 stars, but I would not give it more than a half a star at best. The pillows had no pillow covers and they were stained. The mattresses had what appeared to be blood/rust at the bottom, no bed bugs, but nasty. I had to find a maid to get me pillow covers. There were cigarette burns in the sheets and mattress. The Fridge/Stove were ugh at best and the shower pressure did not exist. Since we had plans for that night, we decided to stay at the least that night and leave in the morning. Upon returning to the motel that night from our plans, lo and behold the crack smokers were still there. We did not feel safe. We did not feel clean. We put the tab

Inn was right on the main road to clearwater beach and Pier 60. Walmart was just a block away. Very old place but nice and clean. Nice tv with great selections. Fridge and microwave were nice. There were some people hanging out outside room next to us, were friendly but made me a little nervous. Overall a nice place to stay for a night or two while visiting the clearwater area.

If I could give a negative star, I would. I travel often, and I have stayed in many different types of hotels. This one? Beyond disgusting. #1- it smelled horrible #2- the bed sheets were DIRTY. Black, brown, yellow, and beige spots all over them. #3- HAIR was everywhere. In the bed, in the sink, in the shower. #4- The owners don’t give a flying crap about you. We called up from our cell phones (because they disconnected the hotel room phone…), and we asked for different sheets and pillow covers. We told them they were dirty, and they hung up on us. They denied us clean sheets. We felt extremely uncomfortable. We had to sleep on top of the bed covers and use our clothes to cover up. The absolute worst hotel experience in my LIFE. Do not waste your money.

I would recommend this motel if you’re bipoc or anyone who wants an affordable, convenient, centrally located place to stay that has a clean bed, pool, ac, and no bed bugs, if you don’t mind that it has an older looking outside. We stayed at another hotel and had issues with the staff, so a business that treats us decent is priority. Also you’re sleeping inside, so the outside aesthetics shouldn’t matter. The inside of the rooms are clean and comfortable. The only issue my family had was the door key didn’t work, but the staff took care of it right away and we had no issues with any of the employees. For around $90? Sure absolutely I’d recommend! Hotels/Motels in Pinellas County are outrageous, this is a deal.

I booked the hotel based on the photos and reviews which aren't at all accurate. The rooms are dirty and low quality. They haven't been updated in decades. A number of guests appear to be long term residents. I wouldn't recommend staying there with family.

Nice little old style motel with concrete slab construction -- so upstairs rooms arent so loud if you pick a downstairs room. No views, basic pool, wifi has issues but they plan to fix that soon (as of 4/20/22). You are right on Gulf to Bay road -- which is very busy so you'll have to adjust your driving habits, but its not too too loud and its maybe 5 miles to alot of good things -- including the beach !

Can hear everything -microwave went out after 2 seconds. Sparks and all! -lobby smells like onions. -air conditioner doesn’t cool -water clogs in bathtub

They didn’t have my room, checked in at 1am on Friday.i had a guaranteed room per the reservation. The owner was rude. He said i should have called but i paid for it on line. Had to stay in what he said was more expensive room until check outwhich was 11am.he would have a room ready by 1pm. So when i came back at 1. It was not ready he told me to go back to the other room. I really wanted to be at the beach. 3pm is when i finally got my room. I had to do some work.the wifi worked Sunday. Wouldn't stay on at all on Monday. Frustrating so i left Monday at 3. Because i was miserable. Was paid up till Tuesday.

I booked a room here since I needed a cheap room for one night in Clearwater. Upon entering the room it was dirty and ugly. The bathroom toilet seat was broken off. The room smell and the fridge raider in the room would not work but it ran as if it did the sheets were ugly and scary looking. Thankfully I brought my own pillow and blanket. Next time I’ll just sleep in my truck!

Finally he gave it back and we left. I really was quite upset about going home as I had been to a party all day and was tired. I don't like driving in the dark let alone another hour and 40minutes home. Just ruined what was a pleasurable weekend.

This hotel was used because we had a late flight in to Tampa and were only going to be sleeping for about 6 hours. For this purpose it was ok, not much else. The hotel was fairly clean but very old and run down looking which didn’t give you a good feeling about the place. We checked in at about midnight and the people we saw that were staying at the hotel at that time of night seemed a little sketchy. We can’t comment on the area because we weren’t there long enough. The WiFi was very poor.

The bed is comfortable, the refrigerator is handy. There is a grocery store nearby. Fairly close to the beach, if you have a car. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We could go to the office and help ourselves to coffee and muffins, which we enjoyed. The pool is heated so we enjoyed it, even in March. One drawback was the wifi kept shutting off. This is an older hotel that needs a renovation.

It's not worth what we paid, it should have been a lot nicer. The owner was really nice. The room was okay, nothing to brag about.

You should have a coffee maker in the room, the staff responsed very quickly (5mins or less) to my needs
