The swimming pool looked inviting, and basic necessities were taken care of. The property is on a very busy 6 lane road, so not a surprise there is a lot of traffic noise. We enjoyed our 1 night here.

Although the room was large and had a kitchen the furnishings were old and uncomfortable. There was a coffee pot but no coffee. The air conditioning units were loud and the one in the main room didn’t blow very cold. There was an odd smell in the room. There was a TV in the living area that I could not get to work. No TV in the bedroom. Bathroom looked dated and the tub had stains in it. On a positive note the shower had great water pressure. The hotel is centrally located to the Clearwater area.

This an older hotel but the service, comfort and size of the rooms makes up for it. Getting personalized service with a friendly face these days is unheard of. The bed was comfortable. The room had a full kitchenette and a table with chairs. Even though it's on the main road, it was quiet. I would definitely stay here again

The bed was solid as a rock, pillows were not soft, I had to bend down to take shower because the head was placed abnormally low, and the the water didn’t get above like warm. My company booked the room because of the reviews but it seems they were not accurate at all. Very disappointed.

The owner-couple took extraordinary care of me. As a disabled vet, I had to evacuate during Helene and they assisted me with my luggage upon checkin, helped transfer me the next day to another room and were especially kind. The rooms have everything you need including a refrigerator, stove, dinning table, dishes, eating/cooking utentsils and a kitchen sink! A trip to Publix resulted in a substantial savings in food/beverage expenditures. I highly recommend this motel - especially for longer term stays.

Older, family run hotel on major street a short drive from downtown clearwater and beaches. Felt very safe in area and although it was Xmas eve, there were actually some restaurants open. Room was very comfortable and had full cooking facilities. However, fan noise from heating unit made it difficult to hear the tv- remote only increased volume by a certain amount.
