Top St. Petersburg - Clearwater Hotel Reviews

The Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"The room is ok. The beach is amazing. The breakfast is very good. The pool and the hotel are beautiful."

Barefoot Beach Club

8/10 Good

"The room and pool were fine. The big downside was lack of elevator service, despite it being advertised with the property. We actually chose Barefoot Beach Club over others because of the availability of an elevator. Because of our ages and my husband's recent surgeries, climbing to a third floor room several times a day was difficult. We were assured at check in that it would be repaired that day. Five days later, still no elevator. No adjustment in rate was offered."

Hollander Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Unique decor and full of historical photos everywhere. Queen bed, very small sink, no vanity, a blow dryer, bathing products are provided; shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and an ironing board and a large tub/shower. No room service. Super clean, staff are exceptional and The Tap Room has an excellent variety for meals; reasonably priced with some fun activities for the locals and guest. There’s also a pastry shop with really yummy desserts. Hollander has a shuttle for transportation, which is nice!"

Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront

8/10 Good

"I didn’t like that the valet services"
