What guests think

At Holiday Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach by IHG, guests praise the walkable location and sunset views, enjoy the pool and restaurant, but also note dated areas, hurricane repairs, and maintenance issues including occasional elevator outages and troublesome key cards.

Some rooms are spacious suites with balconies and Gulf views, though decor feels worn and live music or deck cleaning can add noise.

Facilities

Pool and the waterfront restaurant with live music are highlights, but renovations and maintenance lead to intermittent closures and slow or broken elevators; parking can be challenging and incurs extra fees. Several guests also note the lack of a hot tub.

The overall stay was great. Only concern 🙁 parking. It was very hard to park I think if you are staying and paying. Premium per night a parking spot should be always available during your stay. One day I spent 30 minutes to park. They also charge for public parking and it was packed having to go around and around to find a spot open .

This place is a joke and a total waste of money. We had a three day/two night stay. Elevators did not work upon arrival and mostly throughout entire stay. Lugging everything to the 7th floor on stairs was difficult, especially on the elderly. Doorknobs were broken and folks were getting stuck in the pool bathrooms, not being able to get out. Reported to management, and they simply removed the door handles. Super 8 likely would have been a far better stay, and definitely much cheaper!

This was a great property to stay at. The biggest problems we had were most likely still hurricane aftermath related so we will give them the benefit of the doubt on those. The only thing we didn\'t like was being charged the "resort fee" and not getting any the of the resort amenities. The pool/bar area were still under repair so I don\'t really think it was fair to pay those but it is what it is. We would stay here again its a nice property, the location is great just a couple minute walk anywhere you would want to go on Clearwater Beach.

The property was under construction because of the hurricane. And booking this online, we did not know that the area itself was damaged pretty well from it, and they were doing construction everywhere. We still enjoyed our stay as we had to fee on a higher lever because of the construction. But overall, they did the best they could.It should be noted the area is under construction. the option to use the pool next store at the hotel. And having breakfast there to partner with that hotel was nice, but it was an added $35 in order to be able to do that once we got there. Overall stay was ok.

We stayed right after the two hurricanes so there was construction underway on the first floor; however, the hotel rooms were very quiet and clean. Parking was available in parking garage and we had use of neighboring hotel pool and restaurants during our stay. Given the situation, the hotel and their staff made our stay very comfortable and would recommend anyone wanting to stay within walking distance to beach and great food to stay here.

The staff was not friendly. The king size bed in our room was awful,. It sunk down in the middle terribly, needs replaced. The room was clean. However, I was surprised at the condition of the hotel not due to the flooding : rusted table lamps on the nightstands, ceiling rot and mold in the bathroom shower, very old and short toilet with a rusty handle and did not flush well., old cabinetry/mirror and light fixture that did not match the room decor, older faucet fixtures. The housekeeping did an excellent job on a daily basis. We love the location and have stayed here many years ago at this hotel. The pool area was very kept and tiki bar was convenient. The common area was always humid and warm as if the a/c was down.. In all, I was surprised this facility was a Holiday Inn.

We booked a 2 bedroom suite with a king bed in one room and bunk beds in an adjoining room. It was clean, but the king bed was so uncomfortable that I could hardly sleep. The kids bunkbeds were falling apart and scratched up. There is no door on the adjoining room, so there was very little privacy. They need to put a full size microwave in that unit as we could not even make our kids popcorn. Other than that, the property was well-maintained and staff very friendly. We enjoyed the pool and the restaurant, which had live music. Sunsets were unbelievably beautiful. The outside grounds are well maintained. We were also able to walk to the beach and places to shop. I would stay there again, but not in the bunk bed suite.

This may sound weird, but their toilets in the rooms are so low to the ground, made getting up difficult. If you have any issues w getting up, I don’t recommend.

From the photos when I booked, we were expecting beach front property, so we could walk down on the beach. That was disappointing, but the view was very pretty from our 4th floor corner room. We were also surpised that it was a suite, which was nice. We would have liked a sofa or high back comfort chair in the room.

Not counting how you have to park across the way and take two elevators to get your room, a crazy woman came banging on our door at midnight screaming to let her in and rattling our door.

Overall the hotel is ok. Most of the staff was nice, except the manager C.B. or at least that's what she said her name was. Horrible customer service from her. She and another guy (pool manager) made the biggest deal about us leaving our 3 young kids stuff out on the chairs. They cleaned it up and told us different stories about how long we can leave it unattended. One said 5 min the other said 15 min. They ruined our breakfast as she proceeded to argue with my husband and I about it at the breakfast table (jimmys fish house) My husband couldn't even finish breakfast he had to go sit with our stuff by the pool so they don't take it. Instead of maybe saying "hey you guys didn't know so its ok today but tomorrow don't do it." No she wanted to be completly rude about it. However we seen other people do the same and no one came to move their stuff. If you have rules apply them to everyone. And she sits at Jimmys Fish House bar almost every night drinking its just unprofessional to see. Rooms can be cleaned better floors always dirty, our socks were black on the bottom. Some of those vents in the hallways are black? Mold?

We did not have a good experience. Our room was changed that morning to a smaller room but for more money. They said our room was still available, but for more money than Expedia confirmed for us 3 weeks earlier. someone canceled it and changed it to the smaller room on of near the day we checked in. Expedia didn’t do it and we didn’t do it so it had to have been the hotel. Our room was broken so they moved us to another room. That’s room did not have electricity at the bedside and the phones didn’t work. They kept trying to reschedule maintenance to come up, but we just wanted to enjoy our trip and not wait for maintenance. It should’ve been fixed before we got there. I kept having to run downstairs to talk to the front desk because the phones didn’t work. I counted The young man at the desk, saw my frustration and offered to comp is a full day. I trusted him and didn’t ask for it in writing so when we checked out, they said they couldn’t do it because they didn’t believe me and said he probably was just comping you for the day rate of 30 some dollars. I said no he said we would only City he probably was just be charged for five nights, not six nights. The said no way. The staff and the property outside were very nice, but the game room was closed. All the video machines were gone there was no mention of that on the website. The glass door was locked and the sign on the door said game room closed sorry for the inconvenience. Love Clearwater, but it could have been better.

Everything you need in a hotel and more. Angie, Diego and Brian at the front desk were positively amazing. The hotel may not be the newest on the strip, but the amenities and the service more than make up for it. Awesome pool with a tiki bar, a separate restaurant with a bar and live music, and the legendary Clearwater Beach a short 5-minute walk. Jetski rentals next door. Plenty of alternative restaurants nearby. Our room was a suite with a kitchen and a balcony with a Gulf view. Loved it. We’ll stay again. Recommended.

The stay was okay and a great view of the sunset but Hotels.com said parking was $25 USD a night and it was actually $37 USD a night plus taxes! I was a little disappointed in that. Also, we paid in advance $15 per person for breakfast each day and come to find out anything above that above that you had to pay the difference. There was no reason to pay for breakfast in advance. Other than that it was a great location and Jimmy's Fish House is a great place to eat and enjoy the scenery
