The view was great from our room. We could see the pool and the beach, even though the hotel is across from the beach. Pool was clean and staff were friendly. We stayed at the beginning of the week so we did not realize the rooftop bar would not be open until the weekend. The valet team did an excellent job. Never waited for our vehicle.overall good choice!!

The hotel is located a block from the beach so it was a super easy walk. Great location. Clearwater was bustling for spring break. The pool was nice, on the 5th floor, but the seating around the pool was limited. The hotel was very clean and the rooms were very modern. Breakfast was very good too.The only thing I didn't like was that there was a sliding glass door as the bathroom door, so I felt privacy was compromised. Shower was awesome, you had a choice of rain shower or regular. We also were hoping that we would get beach chairs included with our stay.

The pool was beautiful. The valet service was excellent and valet staff were friendly and helpful. The rest of the staff were okay but did not go above to accommodate and communicate. Our room was cleaned only twice in six days,, there was no communication that this would happen. Breakfast was a disaster and expensive, the bar was out of many mixes and poorly run. I did like the location and I would stay there again.

The hotel was clean, modern and very comfortable. The staff was great, but the valet parking situation was a bit confusing as I was originally told it was valet parking only, then later told I could have parked my car myself for a lower daily fee. If the parking fees could be made clearer, this would be greatly appreciated.

Room was clean and spacious, beds very comfortable, huge comfy pillows. There’s a nice long bench the length of the wall that greatly assists with managing suitcases; plenty of space for 3 people. It was nice to have Starbucks coffee and water available in the lobby at all times. Nice view from window. Excellent location across the street from the beach. Staff were friendly and very responsive to our requests. Blow dryer was broken, but was quickly replaced with a brand new one. Only downside was the heating/cooling system was a bit noisy at night, so bring earplugs if a light sleeper.
