10/10 Exceptional

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
Glenn, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Do not go here
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!

We never were able to stay there, our reservation was cancelled by the hotel & Expedia charged us. We are protesting the Expedia charge with our credit card company.The hotel said they couldn't do anything about refunding us. no help from anyone!

8/10 Very good

A nice inexpensive motel.
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.

Save your money and don’t stay there
Room was dirty linen smelled like smoke Paint peeling in bathroom Soiled and stained linen
Phil, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.
Erwin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Nicole, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was helpful but the door lock was broken, refrigerator was on but hot inside, some lights didn’t work, etc.

4/10 Fair

Had an issue with our trip and had to leave a day early due to a hospitalization. Hotel was not willing to work with me on even a partial refund for that day
jonathan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Nedzmina, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Too bad I spent my money at a loss and the reason is Expedia
Amir, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a very clean, bug free, nice little motel, but.... someone attempted to break into both my car and my room.
Cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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
Mary Lee, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property was not as it appeared in pics. Needs a major upgrade/ update.about 40 years past due. Pillows might as well been thrown out. Flat s o cakes, no neck support. Windows & door all needed to be replaced. Certainly not worth $ 150 a night. Staff not friendly at all, couldn’t even get into front lobby for check in, had to stand outside & talk thru a window.
