Gulf Way Inn Clearwater

The property was a mess, very dirty inside and out. I booked my room for a Saturday and Sunday. It was very late Friday night when I booked this room. I drove there to see if I could stay Friday night also. I offered to pay, but I was told not to worry, because the refrigerator didn't work. Plus it was a room for the handicap, meani g the shower head was only four feet off tge floor. Door deadbolt didn't lock, screen falling off window. Back bathroom window,was very low to the ground and as far as I was co concerned it made me feel like that room could be easily broken into by anyone. The worst parr was that hetold me not to worry about paying for Friday, since I arrived there around 1am. He absolutely gave me the impression that I wasn't being charged for Friday, because of it being a handicap room and also the refrigerator didn't work. WhT happened was he did charge me for Friday and Saturday, so when I returned later Sunday to get some sleep and be able to shower in the morning, I couldn't get into the room. He had deactivated my key even though my booking reservation clearly was for the dates of that Weekend. I spoke to him and he clearly didn't care that I was inconvenienced and misled into a agreement for a room that was one of the worst places, I have ever been. No wonder some of us at times have a difficult time being patient and understanding when business owners don't care.

Inn was right on the main road to clearwater beach and Pier 60. Walmart was just a block away. Very old place but nice and clean. Nice tv with great selections. Fridge and microwave were nice. There were some people hanging out outside room next to us, were friendly but made me a little nervous. Overall a nice place to stay for a night or two while visiting the clearwater area.

Did not see any bugs. Room was clean, though it was dated. Had a king with 2 pillows. Pool area looked nice. I would stay again. It's not bad considering the price. About a 15 minute drive from The Sound amphitheater.

Loved the location. Close to many shops. Only 15min drive to clearwater beach. Room was clean There was a stove in our room, which i didn't know, but i wish they had a few pots/pans or dishes to use. As it is pointless to have a stone and no dishes. No coffee maker in the room.

The pictures showed a very nice place, however I think they were taken 40 years ago. It's old and run down. My itinerary said " kitchenette ". But it was just a broken microwave and and fridge. No sample soap or anything. No coffee maker. A broken ironing board leaning against the wall. Very disappointing

Staff was helpful but the door lock was broken, refrigerator was on but hot inside, some lights didn’t work, etc.

Property was not as it appeared in pics. Needs a major upgrade/ update.about 40 years past due. Pillows might as well been thrown out. Flat s o cakes, no neck support. Windows & door all needed to be replaced. Certainly not worth $ 150 a night. Staff not friendly at all, couldn’t even get into front lobby for check in, had to stand outside & talk thru a window.

Arrived about 4pm, office was not open. Sign saidpush outside button for service - small window opened for manager's response. Brought to mind that maybe this area wasn't safe. During a 3 day stay, house cleaning never once entered the room to my knowledge. Even thought I was gone each morning and afternoon. Service person seemed to wait until I was at the door or in the room and asked if service was needed. I did manage to get fresh towels one day. Building is old, some attempts at being modern have been upgraded. There is a hair dryer, ironing board and iron, nice refrigerator, microwave and large TV. No drain control for the sink and the bathroom tissue holder is broken. Place looks good in the photos but the devil is in the details. If you want morning coffee, you have to drive about 4 blocks to Dunkin Donuts. No in room coffee.

No coffee available missing light bulbs in lamps. Very few towels

Clean Room easy 10 minute drive to PIE Older Building, basic room, but definitely not bad Probably the best value for a basic room in the area Will stay there again

Slow check in. Funny smell. Left, didn’t stay the night.

GERMAN ROACHES, This property has roaches AND IS DIRTY. We booked for 2 nights only styaed 1 night because there were roaches crawling all over the room. we had checked in early and left for the evening arrived back at 1 am to find this nightmare immediately the next morning i contacted managment who is aware of the problem and doesnt care. I asked to be refunded both nights and was refused and was told well you slept with them. this is the worst property i have ever stayed at by far i travel alot BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE

Old property but clean. Rug smelled

Room was dirty linen smelled like smoke Paint peeling in bathroom Soiled and stained linen

This was a miserable stay. The room was in such bad shape. Damage to the walls and ceiling were simply covered in drywall compound and left (no sanded or painted, just lumpy dry moldy compound). The second day we arrived to find ONE of the two beds had been made, while the other was left as it had been. The trash cans were still full. The man at the "Window" (they locked the lobby 24/7 and you had to use a walk up window like a cheap road side ice cream shop) barely spoke English and apparently has hearing issues. They have signage saying to be quiet and respectful, yet the what appeared to be family of the owners had a nice loud get together after 10pm in the lot. There were 20-30 people being loud and having a great time keeping everyone up. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Liked the simplicity and cleanliness.

Management was very accommodating. They provided us with a toaster and made sure there was fresh towels daily. They tried hard to please us and we are very appreciative.

We never were able to stay there, our reservation was cancelled by the hotel & Expedia charged us. We are protesting the Expedia charge with our credit card company.The hotel said they couldn't do anything about refunding us. no help from anyone!

This hotel was closed for any reservation made through a booking agent. I was given a $75 rate and used my cash key of $5 so I was expecting to pay $70. I was charged $129. I was shocked and it was too late for me to find something else in this area. I will be contacting Hotels.com about this. You should not advertise a property that is only used for Cema and construction workers. I felt very unsafe.price gouging nasty place!

Had an issue with our trip and had to leave a day early due to a hospitalization. Hotel was not willing to work with me on even a partial refund for that day

The check in was an absolute abortion. It consisted of walking up to a small window (8 x 10 inches) and pushing a button to call a human. The man came to the window and I announced I have a reservation, and my name is Erwin Cohen. He asked my name at least 5 times and I spelled it also. He spoke very poor English and it took a lot of time to communicate. He was Indian and extremely difficult to understand particularly with aa lot of traffic noise just behind me. He finally gave me a bill and wanted $78 to pay for the room. I gave him a copy of the Expedia confirmation and he said they were no longer affiliated with Expedia Expedia still has them on the their website. He the backed off and said he will copy the reservation confirmation and gave me a room key.

In one word NASTY! From the moment we pulled in and saw a couple doing crack on the North stairwell, kind sums it all up. Then I pulled up to the check in office, and although the sign said OPEN, it was in fact closed. So I ring the bell, and this clearly perturbed older brown man opens an 8 inch by 11 inch window and says yes? I said I'm checking in. It was obvious that I interrupted something of his. He asked for my ID and said 2 to check in? I concurred. He then proceeded to give me one pass, for a room that he thought was ready. I asked him for a second card and then I got that nasty look from him once more. Let's just say I did not feel welcome here at all. Then we go to our ready room? after being on the road for 10 hours, we just needed somewhere to change and relax. OMG what a nasty room this was. Now I know this was rated 2.5/5 stars, but I would not give it more than a half a star at best. The pillows had no pillow covers and they were stained. The mattresses had what appeared to be blood/rust at the bottom, no bed bugs, but nasty. I had to find a maid to get me pillow covers. There were cigarette burns in the sheets and mattress. The Fridge/Stove were ugh at best and the shower pressure did not exist. Since we had plans for that night, we decided to stay at the least that night and leave in the morning. Upon returning to the motel that night from our plans, lo and behold the crack smokers were still there. We did not feel safe. We did not feel clean. We put the tab
