Hi,

Has anyone used this hotel in Clearwater. We are thinking of doing an overnighter and it SEEMS pretty good, any comments on rooms, facilities, location etc. would be just super....

I would not go there if you paid me! it is not on the beach, you have to cross a road to get to the pool area, the ground floor rooms are converted from shops! they do have a Brewmaster restaurant on site and it overlooks the bay other than that not much goes on around there (they closed the shops there because it was to quiet!) But everyone has there own opion, but there are better hotels.

There are many good hotels in Clearwater on the beach and at St Pete's. We have stopped at most of the ones in St Pete's lots to do at both places. if you are hiring a car it is good to drive from Clearwater to St Pete's and stop at the different beaches along the way.

We stayed in this hotel for a week last june. The hotel was lovely, the pool was accessed from the bar area by steps. The pool across the road was for functon use. The staff were helpful, the rooms were clean and the restaurant and bar were very nice. Yes, you do have to walk to the beach which is very very near crossing one road. It is very quiet but for one night it would be perfect. The beach is almost deserted and the sunsets are very peaceful.
