My stay at the gulf way inn was good, the most affordable inn in the area.
Clean Room
easy 10 minute drive to PIE
Older Building, basic room, but definitely not bad
Probably the best value for a basic room in the area
Will stay there again
Management was very accommodating. They provided us with a toaster and made sure there was fresh towels daily. They tried hard to please us and we are very appreciative.
Did not see any bugs. Room was clean, though it was dated. Had a king with 2 pillows. Pool area looked nice. I would stay again. It's not bad considering the price. About a 15 minute drive from The Sound amphitheater.
Run down motel which is used mostly for transient housing. Located on major road does offer dozens of dining options within walking distance.

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.
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.
Loved the location. Close to many shops. Only 15min drive to clearwater beach.
Room was clean
There was a stove in our room, which i didn't know, but i wish they had a few pots/pans or dishes to use. As it is pointless to have a stone and no dishes.
No coffee maker in the room.
