Rooms range from small to spacious with retro decor; many find beds comfy, though some report dated layouts, limited outlets, and blinds that let in light. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with numerous reviews noting very clean rooms and grounds but recurring complaints about odors, mold, pests, and occasional maintenance shortcomings.

Older but well kept property. Justin and Dawn worked hard everyday keeping things clean and updating rooms. Beautiful clean and well heated pool. Convenient location within a 5 minute walk of Corey Avenue bars and restaurants. Beach Trolley stop right next door. Would stay again.

The property was very "old Florida" - quaint and very clean. Once we received the proper link, check in was easy. The pool looked beautiful, but we did not have time to use it. It is a 2 minute drive to the beach where you will find many options for restaurants. We would stay there again!

Totally incredible stay. Must have looked through 150 different properties before we decide to book at the blind pass resort. I'm so glad we did it was truly amazing. Such a warm welcome from on-site management to the staff. Totally awesome pool to chill with a waterfall underneath. Manager gave us a tip about Upham Beach. Saved us an hour drive to Clearwater and beat the crowds to stay local and go to upham Beach and enjoy the beautiful clear Gulf Waters. Truly a gem of a beach. Such great family memories from an unplanned trip. Clean 24-hour laundry kitchenette in the room help to save money while you're on the road with children. We'll look forward to book again. Awesome Hi-Tech check-in and management and anything you need or have a question about is only a text message away while you stay there.

Despite being guaranteed we'd have a parking space, we had to park on the road. Although we were told we could park on 79th & 80th, there were no parking signs on both sides of 79th. And the unit didn't match the photos from when I booked. I honestly don't think it's worth $200 a night. Other than that, the beds were comfortable, we had just about everything we needed, and it was nice & quiet. I give it a 4 star.

Found a live cockroach in the utensil drawer, and the beds were so hard that myself nor my friend got much sleep. Both beds were terrible. We had the reservation for three nights, but we decided to check out the day after checking in. When I told the property manager, she said that the exterminating company had just been there the day before. Hmmm. She said, regarding the uncomfortable beds, that she had just purchased $15,000 worth of new beds, and offered us another room. My response, "why would we stay in another room with the same uncomfortable beds?" I was told by Orbitz, the 3rd party company that I made the reservation through, that they made numerous attempts to get a refund for me, which would have been for only two nights but Blind Pass Resort refused. I find that totally unacceptable. They should not be in business if they can't refund an economy priced room for two nights because of a bad experience there. So much for considering the customer.

Room was spacious and clean. That's the only good thing we can say about it. Woman in Reception didn't even say hello when we walked in and disappeared halfway thru check in. A young guy took over, slightly more friendly. Cleaning fluid in room was overpowering!! No opening windows to get rid of smell. Beds were comfy. Blinds at window let in daylight. No way of closing them. Bathroom very dated but there were toiletries provided.

No, there was a very limited supply. And the room smelled funny and there was no way to air it out as there was no screen on the window. The diverter on the shower was broken and the hot water took a full 5 minutes to get going. not to mention I needed help to get my 5 foot 2 inch frame into the bed. Not a comfortable fit.

Perfect for what it is: a resort motel with everything you need and nothing extra. Clean, comfortable rooms with solid a/c and amenities, a pool for when the beach is too far, and close to cafes, restaurants and shopping. All the staff were really nice and low key but totally professional. I'll admit I wasn't expecting too much, but it really hit the right balance. A small gem!

They close at 1000pm. Why was I even able to book a room on Expedia two hrs before 1000pm. I was not able to check in. Now I need to make phone calls to get my money back in a non-refundable room I was able to book two hrs before their front office closes. This company should not be able to do business on Expedia. They should have a warning notifying they all possible customers their front office closes at 1000pm.

This property has the potential to be awesome. If they arranged for housekeeping to be more than once per week, for example. The location is great and the restaurant next door is amazing. It’s a great location, but they need to clean more than once a week.

From the pictures, I expected it to be closer to the beach, which wasn’t even walking distance. Pool was nice, room was clean and temperature control was easy. Beds were very comfortable. No cable TV guide so it was difficult to navigate. Although free, parking options were limited. No full length mirror or comfortable sitting chairs. Recommend anyone considering this motel to read the fine print.

Conveniently located and close to shopping and restaurants. The Staff was nice and let me check in early because my flight got in sooner than expected which was great. Building was charming and the grounds were well kept from what I saw. Pool area had plenty of seating. Pool water was warm and clean. Room was very clean and had the necessities (microwave, mini fridge/freezer, coffee maker, mugs/plates, cutlery and two TVs. The room had Very few outlets and a pretty small bathroom which was a minus. It had enough storage space to fit our belongings. Plenty of hot water and water pressure was good. Mattress was comfy enough (had worse/had better) but the pillows can definitely be improved. They were awfully bumpy and on the hard side. Overall we had a nice stay and will be back if visiting the area again.

They did have pots and pans but we chose to eat out. Very welcoming with our pet. Would stay again.
