Sirata Beach Resort St Pete Beach

Our visit started with check in giving us the bare minimum information. Told me my credit card would be charged $50 for resort fee and then proceeded to hand me my key. Doesn’t say what floor or anything. We had to figure it out. Made it upstairs to our room and noticed the floor was dirty. It was so dirty that we had to wipe our feet before we got into bed. All in all the bedding and shower were clean. We couldn’t get into the gym because the door was jammed. A visitor who is a locksmith had to pry it open. Then at 3 am I noticed a charge on my card for $25. I had to call and ask and was greeted with a I don’t know what you are talking about and we close charges at 3am. Thank you Mahmoud for your kind customer service at 3am. I’m kidding. Would I return? No.

This hotel is under construction, and lacking staff. Would not recommend.

They have construction going on but we still had a beautiful view even though we could see construction

Lots of construction was going on at the beach area. Staff was very helpful and gave great recommendations. Room was great for the sleeping arrangements we needed. Floor of our room was gritty and dirty. Bottom of our feet were black.

Another overpriced Florida ripoff in a region that is similar to the Jersey Shore and not an upscale destination. Add the per night occupancy taxes aimed at sticking it to the tourists who do not vote in the state and it became a very expensive stay for what felt like a semi-maintained establishment. Property is old and in need of an upgrade. For example, door of the room was hard to open, as was the front entrance which is difficult to go through when trying to carry luggage. The layout of the hotel is a little convoluted, and the elevators are rundown (they tend to close quickly, too). The small pool was okay and the Rum Runner restaurant is average and currently noisy due to construction of new restaurant and pool, which was not mentioned in advance when booking was done. It’s the only option for breakfast and the service was slow. The room itself wasn’t bad and a good size. But there was no luggage rack for suitcases and the safe deposit box is down near the floor with shelves above, which makes it difficult for those who are older and struggle more to bend over. There was no room service during our two night stay. This property is geared toward families and teenagers, so it’s a little noisy at times but quiet when time to sleep. My biggest objection was a 5 star price for a 3 star hotel. I have been in many different hotels of different levels of quality in many different locations and this was below average when comparing the quality versus the price.
