Tropical Palms Hotel

Hotel is under construction. Construction workers that you occasionally run into were polite and respectful. The front desk staff was excellent.

Tropical Palms is a work-in-progress and although our stay was pleasant enough, you have to look past the spackle-filled walls and the older condition of the hotel. Our room was quiet and clean, but they need to pay attention to detail. We had a microwave on a table but the plug did not reach any outlet. The curtains we partially off the hooks, so they drooped down off the rods. They have no breakfast offered and they charge $3 for a K-Cup. But, although the staff is trying, it may be a while for this place to be in ship-shape,.

This is the worst hotel I’ve stayed at in my entire life. No offense, but the pics make it look like a cute, tropical little motorlodge. In fact, it’s a decrepit hellscape. I am very low-maintenance, but: * NO HOT WATER!! * 4 generations of caulking over other caulking, rather than scraping and replacing * No coffeemaker in room, and 1 of 2 front desk coffeemakers are broken. Remaining is K-cup, by request only * Was my room even cleaned? * Terrible WiFi speed; virtually nonexistent * No late checkout * Terribly uncomfortable beds * Common spaces (conference room, eg) looked like a refugee processing center with water-stained drop ceilings * Horrible ventilation in rooms - I woke up early and it was as sticky as sleeping in an RV with the windows closed and no auxiliary power running * Elevator out of order, NOT HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE. How is this legal? * Hotel not walkable; terrible location on busy, noisy highway with nothing around * Reusing RedRoofInn’s WiFi * No breakfast I totally got duped on the photos. As I said I’m low maintenance, but this is like if ex-cons illegally reopened a condemned RedRoof Inn and just pocked the cash. Literally the worst hotel stay of my life in any country. Wow.

The hotel was being renovated. But the renovations were haphazard. From what I saw there were workers renovating two rooms on the main floor. On the second floor, trim had been primed but not painted. The stucco on the walls were patched, but not painted. No one was using the pool. The water was colder than the water at the beach. There was no maid service. I had to ask for clean towels. When I asked for maid service on the weekend, I was told the hotel did not service rooms on the weekend, under their eco-policy. How not changing sheets, putting out fresh towels, or emptying trash would saves the environment was not explained. Despite this I noticed two staff cleaning rooms on the second floor on Sunday. There were no phones in the rooms. I was told the phones were removed for renovations. This could be a problem in the case of an emergency. There was no breakfast area. They had a Keurig coffee maker in the lobby. They wanted $3 US for a pod

Building was attempting renovations.Smelt of chemicals.Could hear everything from hallway (voices, slamming doors, and exit). Poorly lit room probably to cover up damage, dust, dirt, and cockroaches! Wore shoes in the shower which was in disrepair! Couldn't wait to check out!

The pool was nice! The staff trued to be helpful. The room definitely could and should have been cleaner. Telephones in the rooms would have improved safety and ease for a wake up call instead of a knock on the door.

this hotel was nothing like the photo. Yes they had a pool but cloistered in center. No trees, on a busy street. Had balconies that I don't feel safe with. Different color and style of building. Shoddy inside. Maybe clean but I had my doubts. I couldn't control the internal air. People were very nice.

Stayed here for 4 days in May. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Building overall shows is age, the door to our room needed to be locked to stay closed all the way, bathroom was pretty rundown. The ac worked well and the room was decently clean. Furniture and bed were acceptable. Mismatched and again, just run down but for 70 bucks a night, suppose thats what it is. Pool area was nice, pool was clean. Convenient to public transpo and lots of restaurants very close.

Parking was easy. Somewhat limited due to construction.

Main elevator was NOT working ... was told to walk around to the back of the hotel to use a secondary elevator to the third floor, but said elevator only only takes you up .. you cant ride it back down to the lobby so you have to walk down the stairs every single time. Rooms look nothing like whats shown in the pictures! Theres a certain smell/scent as soon as you walk into the hotel like humid or wet carpet. dirty linen and trash in the hallways. room cleanliness and conditions are very poor, stains and paint chips on walls and carpets. bed was extremely uncomfortable, had to just deal with it for one night and then I just checked out early and found a different hotel! would never stay again

There were roaches, the place was ran down.

Very friendly staff upon check-in and exit. The room was clean and the a/c was amazing which is a necessity for me. When I read the other reviews I was a bit hesitant but much to my surprise everything was just fine. The side entrance was a bit dirty and there were no coffee cups for the coffee they offered but that wasn’t that a big a deal as we were headed out for breakfast any way. Overall we were happy with the stay. If you just need a place to sleep and a hot shower this isn’t bad for the price.

That was the worst hotel that I’ve ever stayed out. Filthy. The bathtub was filthy. The toilet was filthy. The floors were filthy. They were doing construction which they didn’t say until you checked in so it was extremely noisy and dirty. I don’t recommend this hotel to anybody was absolutely pits.

dirty. room was not cleaned upon arrival. sheets had stains all over. checked in and immediately left within minutes. the only good thing was the kindness of the front desk unsure of her name.

The room and hall ways are dirty. The bathtub had signs of mold. The bathroom faucet and shower head were corroded. The microwave smelled of Burt electricity and was unsafe to use. The best part of the stay was that the bed and pillows were very comfortable.

The worst hotel/motel I have ever stayed in! The room was filthy floors we sticky and dirty. We stayed for 4 days and we asked to have room cleaned but no one did anything! The beds were not made and the garbage was never emptied. We had to do it ourselves! Disgusting!!!!

The desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. Arrived early and check-in wasn\'t until 4p, so decided to explore the area and it\'s beaches. They were nice enough to store our bags behind the desk. Came back mid-evening to finish check in. Got to the 3rd floor and it was like we were in a completely different hotel. It was like an old run down building you see on tv. Paint is cheap by the way. The smell was terrible. The room was worse. The furniture was old, wobbly, painted black and everything was sticky. The bathroom was dirty and so old. Shower was the worst and barely worked. It was so dirty and didn\'t drain. Yuk! The beds were just as bad. They were not comfortable and they made so much noise they would wake you up. I\'ve never experienced any beds like them. Not to mention the cockroach we saw in the morning!! Where there\'s one there are always more. Let me just say that, "undergoing a huge renovation" is no excuse for uncleanliness!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!! It is cheap, but I would not stay here again if they have me the room for free, and I\'ve stayed in plenty of cheap hotels in my days. I almost never write a review, but I felt that I needed to warn others to steer clear!!

Dirty and noisy

Affordable, clean, awesome front desk staff

Our first room had bugs and very sticky floors. We were moved to a new room, but that one had sheets that weren’t clean (there were little hairs on the bed and the bed wasn’t made), a sticky floor, beat up furniture, and everything in the bathroom was falling off the walls. There were holes in the wall and you could feel springs in the mattress. Staff was nice but this place was a total dive. We only stayed because we couldn’t get a refund.

The place is definitely ran down. I had to span the door to get it to shut and the tub was just gross peeling and broken tiles. I just wouldn't even shower while i was there.

My room had no overhead light, only two lamps that were both extremely dim -very weird and irritating

The toilet in my room did not work.

Decent room and bath, but it was very noisy. The metal bed creaked loudly every time you roll over.

There was no hot water during my stay. I can understand that remodeling was underway. However, no hot water is a real disappointment.

Tropical Palms is a 1 star facility. The rooms are as basic as any I've ever stayed at. It's old and not at all updated. That said, it's very inexpensive as compared to area hotels which was what I was looking for. Like 2-300$ less a night so if you book hear you get exactly what you paid for. A place to sleep.

Hotel clerk and maintenance worker were very nice but overheard conversation with property manager and she was just rude and didn’t care that her guest (me) was having an issue in their room. The hotel room needs a serious deep cleaning because it was dirty. I did not feel comfortable during my stay but with such short notice on coming I would have lost money due to there no refund policy. Hotel owners really need to update and really deep clean the hotel. The area it was located in was good. My overall issue with the whole stay was not feeling clean and the rude manager. I hope she’s at least nice to her staff.

Staff wasn’t at the front desk, ringed the bell multiple times and no answer

It was fine once i finally checked in The 2nd time. The 1st time i tried to check in early at about 11:30 to 12 Noon as i requested an early check in just to drop my stuff off in the room as i had groceries to put in the refrigerator, however the girl at the front desk told me it would be an additional $39 for early check in. I said fine although i felt because i am a GOLD MEMBER that should be FREE!!! I was unable to check in cause my credit card didnt have the $139 available so i had to leave and transfer money on to my Debit Card. I did that and went Bowling, etc- By the time i got back after 5 pm and then it was a LATE CHECK IN, EVERYTHING went well. Im Glad they dont charge extra for The Late check in and was kind of surprised since it seems they get their jollies by effing people left and right!!! Just my observation. Thanks for The Memories!!!

I prepaid my booking and there was a problem when i arrived at the check in time on my reciept. Staff refused to answer the phone for customer support to contact them. We tried for days to get the booking moved or something but the staff absolutely refusing to help in any way made that impossible. Im STILL trying to get the time i booked but everyone seems to think i shouod just walk away and take the loss, i think the hotel that took money and gave nothing in return needs to take the loss. I worked for that money, they did not.

Horrible! Couldn’t even get checked in due to the front desk staff being very nasty and rude to me. I wasn’t even able to use the restroom upon arrival without the rude disrespectful and confrontational worker barging into the restroom and demanding I leave. There was no where to sit my belongings down at whatsoever. No tables no furniture nothing. It was under construction so I cdnt even go in the front of the hotel I had to drag my bags all around the building with no assistance. It was terrible customer service and the overall experience was probably one of the worst I’ve ever had with a hotel staff

Affordable, clean, awesome front desk staff

Very run down. Staff were friendly and location to airport is good.

Very good hotel for a reasonable price. Within walking distance of some decent restaurants and a convenience store. Staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay there again !

If was very business friendly, lots of options in the surrounding area

This hotel is located just south of the PIE airport of Clearwater and minutes north of St. Pete, as well as over the bay to Tampa. So it’s very ideal when it comes to location. The staff is also great. The only complaint I have is that the room I rented had an overpowering odor of bleach. Which always makes me think that the environment is not clean. The bed sheets also had a couple stains near where you lay your head. The price is good and I will be back when in the area and in need of a room.

I had to buy a hotel last minute for the Taylor Swift concert for my daughter and her friend so I knew it would be hard to find a hotel but I liked the pictures I saw for this property and the price and thought ok couldnt be that bad and 20 minutes from Raymond James Stadium. Plus the pool image looked beautiful and the way it was described I thought nice we were lucky. Plus I trusted Expedia, well I'm very upset! The room was awful! The moment we stepped in elevator we knew we were in trouble and it was after the concert at 2 am so exhausted. The elevator was dirty and marked up , so old. The hallways smelled awful and musty. Trash cans overflowed . So dirty and old, never been to a hotel like this, it was awful. Then the room, the floors were slippery and wet, same with the tables, the bathroom was the worst! DISGUSTING! WE COULDNT EVEN TAKE A SHOWER! It was pretty bad, it didn't look like it was cleaned and had hair and the walls looked the same in the tiles. The hair dryer also. The beds felt like there was no mattress and squeaked. What's most upsetting is I was told we couldn't get an early check in bc they were sold out that weekend and had to clean the rooms so couldn't guarantee it but so why wasn't ours clean. I am now glad we didn't check in early , but believe me don't go by the images, not at all accurate. This helped us in a bind but I didn't feel good about this staying here with my family.

The desk and tables all had a sticky film, the floor was slippery, bathroom door had no lock. Overall, the place needs some updating. The convenience of the location was central (30 mins) to a lot of outside amenities.
