Family-friendly Hotels in Clearwater Beach

We stayed here for a week for a work conference. Everything was first class- great training/conference venue. The staff and hotel were amazing- very clean, professional, and really nice but not that rich and famous feel. The people staying there were kind and welcoming at the pool, bar, beach, exercise room, etc. we would 100% stay there again- close walk to tons of places and very safe location.

Our super group of girls came to stay for a night to check out Clearwater. We opened our room door and the overwhelming smell of cleaner hit us. We had to open our door and leave it open for hours to get the smell out. Others would have requested a different room, but we roughed it out. They clean with Fabuloso cleaner, which is very strong. I saw housekeeping pouring a big ole batch into a bucket in the morning. Ugh. We went out to dinner at Salties next door which was good, btw. When we returned, the air conditioner had leaked all over the tile floor. We cleaned it up and carried on. The pool was nice and clean. There’s a great ice cream shoppe on the property. I had cookie dough! Yum. This hotel is across the street and down the block from beach access. The pillows were floppy, shredded junk, but the beds were ok. The shower was good, but there was no view from frosted window. Not sure if I would return.

Was my first visit to Clearwater beach and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I was a bit concerned about our choice of hotel but it really exceeded my expectations! Valentina, at the front desk, was so friendly and helpful! We had a great view of the water from our balcony and the room was everything we could want, comfortable beds, cold refrigerator, and good air conditioning. We never had a problem with parking the car in the hotel (free) lot. We loved the pool deck, right on the beach. The bands at Shephards next door were loud but when we closed the balcony door it blocked the noise. Actually we enjoyed sitting on the balcony, listening to the music! Everything you need is in walking distance, restaurants, groceries, liquor store, and miniature golf. I wouldn't hesitant to book here again as it's a great value for this location.

Wonderful stay. Exceeded our expectations. Clean and accommodating. No reason to leave the grounds as they have everything one needs. Reminded us of being on a cruise ship. Balcony King on the gulf side was a perfect room to wake up and see the sunrise. Ate at Mainstay Tavern twice. Both times waiters were fantastic (actually perfect). Food was superb (grouper sandwich and mojito is a must order). Our stay occurred during the International Citrus Conference. All rooms booked and people everywhere. Every single staff was beyond helpful, friendly, professional and over accommodating. Sheraton Mgr, a standing ovation for your team!

We stayed here in June and had a good experience, except for the “below average” breakfast ( keep that in mind). We had a great view in room 602, and before we left, booked it again for September, requesting the same room—at least the same view. We came there in June because we prepaid for the rooms, though the Ringo & his All-Starr Band concert got postponed to September (two of them had COVID in June). So we came back last week for the concert. The concert was great, but cannot say that for Pier 60. When we checked in last week, we were relegated to a room as far away as possible from what we requested when we rebooked, a view of the parking garage. We went to the front desk, were informed it would be an extra $100 per night to stay in the same area we did before. When I protested, the clerk lowered it to $75 per night, wouldn’t go any lower, AND said we’d have to pay an extra $32 per day for parking, the pool, and the below average (and supposedly “complimentary” breakfast). My spouse had an injured foot and didn’t need to walk that far to the worst room in the hotel, so we bit the bullet and stayed in the better room and got hosed for the extra charges. That won’t happen again. If we ever return to Clearwater, which is doubtful at this point, we will avoid Pier 60 like the plague, We don’t appreciate being treated so badly. On top of being hosed as we were, I don’t need rock-hard breakfast items and bruised bananas. Never again. Be forewarned. I’m thankful Trip Advisor gives the chance to warn others.
