At Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Clearwater Central, reviews are mixed, with guests appreciating low prices, convenient location, and a usable pool area, while many cite cleanliness issues, dated conditions, noise, and limited breakfast as drawbacks.
Staff interactions range from warm and accommodating to slow or unhelpful, and some guests were surprised by a $50 incidental deposit or disputed charges. Rooms are sometimes spacious and comfortable for the price, but recurring reports note maintenance problems and pests such as ants or bedbugs. Expect a budget stay with convenient access and trade-offs in upkeep and consistency.

This turned out to be surprisingly a nice stay for trip purpose, as expectations were low due to familiarity of area. It was well lit, clean, and staff was very serviceable. Definetely would stay there again as I do frequent the beach often and it was great to drive 15min vs 2.5hrs to get there.

The air conditioning didn’t work in our room and our toilet worked for two flushes and ran all night long. The handles on the tables were not screwed on and came off. The carpet in the room was dirty and there was garbage around the bed from who stayed previously.

This Econolodge renewed my faith in this chain. Proof positive that individual ownership and management can make a workd of difference between franchises. This location SUPER clean, especially for an older building. I walked into the room and coukdvtell it had been cleaned by the smell. Front desk staff were very welcoming and friendly.

I wish I could give this hotel a good grade but no! The only good thing was the Reception Lady. She was kind and very helpful! Besides that, nothing works! The front door of our room and the hallway were dirty! The property is súper outdated. The pool was Ok! The beds had bed bugs, the bathroom had ants and a frog! Every thing had mold! The bedroom was clean but not as it should had been. The TV sets did not work properly! The toilet got clogged after the first use! At least we had hot water and wifi. We only stayed for 1 night! Breakfast was simple & the area was clean. Never staying there again! Sorry!

We ere there for 5 nights Daily cleaning was not provided. Daily towel service “if needed” was provided. The floors were not cleaned with any regularity, I walked around the room wearing light grey socks after thirty minutes of walking on the dark brown laminate flooring my socks were extremely dirty. The cupboards around the sink, microwave and coffee maker are completely empty, there is nothing provided except 2 pouches of coffee, sugar/sweetener, powdered whitener, and stir sticks. In the bathroom there was approximately 1oz of shampoo, 1oz of Conditioner and 1oz of body lotion. Never visited or used the outdoor pool area as it was too windy and cool, so I don’t know how it measured up. The continental breakfast left something to be desired. There was white or brown bread, hard butter spread, two fruit type spreads. Small chocolate chip muffins, chocolate covered mini donuts, a waffle maker, table syrup for the waffles, two types of sweetened cold cereal and pouches of instant / microwaveable oatmeal, coffee, hot water and a jug of orange juice type beverage, which was available from 0600 to 0900. The eating area was small with 4 tables and a total of 12 chars. Basically it was more of a mediocre grab and go.

We got unlucky the next room occupants have no shame and we don’t get enough sleep due to their noise .They think they own the whole inn

This property is an average hotel stay with 2 queen beds, plenty of room and clean. The furnishings are a little dated and there is some nicks in the paint here and there. The neighborhood has an element of drug use which is common in most cities today. Stay in your room and you will be fine. The location is awesome, close to everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. Check in and out was a few minutes or less. We will book here again for another concert at the Sound.

Very irritated! We checked in after midnight, Sunday morning, and checked out by 930am the next morning, Sunday. Literally only got this hotel to sleep after our flight before our next destination. Place wasnt the cleanest, but we didnt mind too much, because again, only here to sleep and leave. The day after checkout, Monday, I get notified from my bank that this hotel charged an extra $50. I was out of the country and couldn't call until 3 days later, on a Thursday. When i called, they said I was charged for smoking in the non-smoking room...First, my husband and I don't smoke and my three young children do not as well. Second, we were there for less than 10 hours. I tried to explain this to them and that I was very upset and wanted to talk to a manager. Couldn't talk to them until Monday. What manager doesn't work on a Thursday and Friday, midmorning??? Very irritating!

Stay started out OK, room seemed to be in order and mostly clean upon arrival. After the first night, room service came and took trash but nothing else. I asked if they would come back later to turn down beds and replace towels, they said they’d be back later. Later that day after being out and about, we were going to use the room to get ready for a wedding. Upon our return the Beds still not made, no fresh towels as requested. Called front desk and got attitude about requesting it again. 30 mins later I walked to the front desk and finally had to have staff walk me to housekeeping closet to get towels and bed sheets and made it up myself. Throughout entire stay, neighbors loud and obnoxious throughout the day and night. Decided complaining further wasn’t worth the time or hassle, just won’t stay there again or recommend to anyone.

The location was a straight 15 minute shot from the Clearwater beach and pier, and it was quiet for a good night’s sleep. The property seemed reasonably kept up, and the clerk was helpful when we asked about parking at the beach. My biggest disappointment was the breakfast. It was mini donuts and muffins from a packaged box and white bread slices. That was it. And coffee and hot water, not even any cold water. So we ended up going through McDonald’s drive through before hurrying to our fishing trip. An upgrade on the breakfast selection could go a long way in the impression this hotel leaves on its customers.

This property is an average hotel stay with 2 queen beds, plenty of room and clean. The furnishings are a little dated and there is some nicks in the paint here and there. The neighborhood has an element of drug use which is common in most cities today. Stay in your room and you will be fine. The location is awesome, close to everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions. Check in and out was a few minutes or less. We will book here again for another concert at the Sound.

The location was a straight 15 minute shot from the Clearwater beach and pier, and it was quiet for a good night’s sleep. The property seemed reasonably kept up, and the clerk was helpful when we asked about parking at the beach. My biggest disappointment was the breakfast. It was mini donuts and muffins from a packaged box and white bread slices. That was it. And coffee and hot water, not even any cold water. So we ended up going through McDonald’s drive through before hurrying to our fishing trip. An upgrade on the breakfast selection could go a long way in the impression this hotel leaves on its customers.

We enjoyed it. Yes, it's somewhat dated, but we had a suite (2 rooms) with an extra sink, fridge, microwave, and counter in the living room, it felt spacious. The coach mattress was super thin - we ended up giving our kid one of the queen beds in the bedroom. Service was very friendly. Breakfast was subpar - no tea, or cream cheese, or yogurt - just oatmeal, waffles, bananas, cereal. Location was good for Clearwater Beach, although the traffic to and parking situation there was really bad. Swimming pool was very nice. It was also quiet in our room, and A/C was good. The area is safe and has many places to eat. Didn't use TV. Wifi worked good. Overall, it's a B. Would stay again.

The interior needs upgrading. The smoke alarm in my room malfunctioned several times while I was sleeping. The internet kept going out at night. I was given a number to call the internet company for remedy. The breakfast had waffles as its only hot meal. This establishment needs upgrading in numerous areas.

The room was very spacious and clean. Wish breakfast was plentiful. They only provided waffles and muffins; beverages were water, tea or coffee. They sold soda. No orange juice nor apple juice on site. Other than that everything else was pretty good.

We ere there for 5 nights Daily cleaning was not provided. Daily towel service “if needed” was provided. The floors were not cleaned with any regularity, I walked around the room wearing light grey socks after thirty minutes of walking on the dark brown laminate flooring my socks were extremely dirty. The cupboards around the sink, microwave and coffee maker are completely empty, there is nothing provided except 2 pouches of coffee, sugar/sweetener, powdered whitener, and stir sticks. In the bathroom there was approximately 1oz of shampoo, 1oz of Conditioner and 1oz of body lotion. Never visited or used the outdoor pool area as it was too windy and cool, so I don’t know how it measured up. The continental breakfast left something to be desired. There was white or brown bread, hard butter spread, two fruit type spreads. Small chocolate chip muffins, chocolate covered mini donuts, a waffle maker, table syrup for the waffles, two types of sweetened cold cereal and pouches of instant / microwaveable oatmeal, coffee, hot water and a jug of orange juice type beverage, which was available from 0600 to 0900. The eating area was small with 4 tables and a total of 12 chars. Basically it was more of a mediocre grab and go.

I had trouble with the door getting into my room. The Key was fine, but I'm talking about the door itself. The edge of the door had exposed wood. Like it was repaired but not finished. I didn't like stepping, up to get in my room either. Thought it would be Flat. Other than that it was adequate. Coffee and muffins for breakfast.
