The extra charge for parking should have been included in the cost. It was listed in fine print on the description. The staff was rude to some of the guest, and there was strong odor of marijuana in the elevators. The beach area was nice and so was the beach staff.

Wasn’t really happy with our stay, the best part was location. We were able to walk to most everything we wanted to including the beach. The private beach they have is on the bay not the gulf so we preferred walking down towards pier 60. Also they close the pool down between 8 and 8:30 will I’ll the one next door is open until 11pm. Our door in our bathroom was coming off its hinges so you had to lift it to get it to close. Our room was not swept the entirety of our 6 day stay nor was our sheets changed. Towels were dropped off and picked up and garbage emptied every other day as far as housekeeping that’s all we got. We were told to purchase discounted tickets to Clearwater Marine aquarium at the front desk which we did and that was a nice perk. They told us to take our room key over and we would revive a 20% discount through their partnership with the aquarium. When we went to purchase the exact same toy that was $20 instead of the $30 it was at the hotel gift shop we presented our room key. The cashier said we were probably the 10th person that day that had came with that expectation. He then offered us a 10% discount for our trouble but explained the hotel partnership had been canceled as of May. I didn’t mind as it was already cheaper just that the poor cashier at the aquarium seemed exhausted of explaining this every day. In general I would not recommend this hotel to any friends or family.

We stayed for 4 nights. The hotel was clean and the staff very helpful. This is not a luxury/resort hotel but the rooms are clean and well maintained. The Cabana Grill food was convenient because you did not have to go anywhere else for food if you so chose. The hotel is well located - walking distance to the Pier and other restaurants. We loved the private beach front. It was nice to have the ability to order food and a drink right on the beach. The music playing all day long was also a very nice plus.
