Hotels near The Gathering Church St. Petersburg, Pinellas County

Very clean and comfy hotel. Front desk staff is super sweet and welcoming. Very friendly people. The pool patio area was nice for our family to enjoy the pool and hot tub. Lots of tables for enjoying the outside area. Will stay here when we are back in town again for sure.

The pool is small, not as big as the shot

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Gulf-to-Bay in Clearwater for two nights to escape Hurricane Ian. The room was clean and comfortable and it was great to have a free hot breakfast each morning. The lobby has lots of comfortable seating and a big TV. The hotel is in a non-evacuation zone and I felt totally safe and really didn’t hear the rain and wind.

This hotel is a dump. The rooms look like something out of a movie about cheap **********s and their johns--old smelly carpets, broken furniture, door safety latch that was actually missing, bathroom fan like a Harley Davidson. There are so many better places to stay in Clearwater, and we wish we had. The last straw was that we were told to bring our dirty sheets and towels to the check-in counter because there wasn't any housekeeping service.

We recently stayed for 2 nights at this hotel since although it was overpriced, its nightly rates were better than its competition's. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and our room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was standard fare for a Holiday Inn Express, and we appreciated the one type of fresh fruit each morning (oranges the first morning, bananas the second.) And the bed was comfortable. The worst part of the stay, and the one reason why I won't stay here again: the A/C in our room was SO loud . . . There was an A/C unit on the wall that appeared to do nothing, which led us to try the A/C unit directly under the window. It worked fine at cooling the room, but - even with ear plugs - was much too loud for us to fall asleep with. The only solution that worked was turning off the A/C completely, leading to a too-warm room halfway through the night. (Not okay with Florida's high temperatures.) So frustrating!! The location is okay; not near the things and people in Tampa Bay that we visited, and traffic in Pinellas as of late is awful. If this will be the case for you too, add some time to your calculations of when to leave to get somewhere.

I reserved my room through a third party site, so I was a little skeptical. The bulk of the trip I was going to be solo so I wanted to make sure I would be farely safe. I called the office about 4 or 5 times to ask random questions before the deadline to cancel with 100% refund. The office staff was always really nice and friendly. They never made me feel like my questions were silly or trivial. I was also arriving after their office hours and they were quick to reassure me all would be fine. The Resort grounds were extremely clean with lots of tropical plants, butterflies and baby lizards. The buildings were u-shaped with plenty of parking and lots of lighting at night. The pool was just the right size for kiddos and adults with lots of lounge chairs around the borders. There were also a few covered areas to enjoy lunch by the pool. Again the area was very clean. The bay area behind the property was very serene, had boat docks and included an area for those who might want to fish. Even though there were tons of families the property was quiet both day and night. As for my room, I LOVED IT! It was updated and very clean (how many times have I commented on the cleanliness of this entire property, LOL). The room I rented had a queen bed in the main bedroom and a murphy bed in another space off the living room. That room was so bright and sunny in the mornings. The space was decorated with beach and water themed items, that made me smile. I went grocery shopping and utilized the kitchen for cooking breakfast. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of pots, pan, and other cooking dishes. They had glass plates, bowls, silverware, cutlery, glasses and cups. You only need to bring your food and any foil you might need. The appliances were full size and in good condition. There was a coin operated washer/dryer on site, but I didn't use that. The beach was located directly across the street from the office. My room had beach chairs and umbrellas with carrying straps, a cooler and some mini wave boards. The floors were laminent and there was a broom and mop in the closet as well. They had small sample sizes of things like lotion, soap, shampoo, dish detergent. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to staying again.

Free parking, hotel location right at the beach, suitable for children, it is best to rent a car, it is very convenient to go nearby. Breakfast is $13.99 per person and the fruit is delicious.

We didn’t book this place initially but I’m glad we wound up here. We drove overnight, 7 hours, with a child in the backseat and the hotel that we booked told us that we missed the 12 am deadline and that they wouldn’t check us in. We sat in the parking lot until we felt unsafe and called other local hotels until someone (Quality Inn) had a vacancy. The Quality Inn about 10 minutes up the road was $20 more with an included breakfast. The clerk was apologetic and also gave us a free late check out. The hotel was clean and had a great balcony and beautiful pool area. I would certainly stay here again. .
