Overnight Getaway
Great location- 1 block from beach. Lots of shops/restaurants around. Nice and updated hotel. Overall great stay! The 2 negatives were our hotel room floor was dirty! Lots of hair and dust on our socks. Also the drinks at the bar were EXPENSIVE! $20 a drink with not a lot of alcohol. No prices on the menu so you are stuck! Save your money and go somewhere else for a cocktail.

We had a great 3-Day trip over Memorial Day. The hotel location was perfect, and we could see the beach from the pool and our room. Very clean. Very safe. We will be back next time we’re in Clearwater!
