The hotel

Just a 10 minute drive from Tampa International Airport, this hotel is a great place to stop on your journey into the gulf coast, before you head off to one of many famous beaches. Connected by the causeway, there’s easy access to Clearwater, so you can have your feet in that soft white sand in no time. You don’t need to leave the hotel to get views of the water though, watch the bayside sunsets from your room, or whilst dining at the waterfront grill, sipping on your favourite cocktail.

I’m a Southwest pilot and stayed here on an overnight. I accidentally left my wallet in the Blufin Restaurant during breakfast and went for an hour-long walk shortly after. When I arrived back to my room, I had a message waiting from the front desk saying they had my wallet. I’m very thankful they took the initiative to return my valuables to me!

Loved the location. It was close to the mall and the restaurants we wanted to try. The front desk was helpful but my husband and I were thrilled with James, the driver. He was able to get us a reservation at Bern’s Steakhouse the very first night we were there. He went above and beyond. Will stay here again. Danielle

This was, by far, the most disappointing hotel experience I have ever had. I booked my stay through Expedia in September, and after checking out, I noticed an unexpected charge of $322.50 on my credit card. After multiple phone calls and over 20 hours spent trying to resolve the issue, I was finally told that this charge was for a "smoking fee." To be clear, I’ve never smoked in my life, and I stayed at the hotel for just one night with my 10-year-old daughter while we were in town for a soccer tournament. The hotel claimed that smoking occurred during my stay, providing specific timestamps—however, I wasn’t even in my room at the time of the alleged incident. I have restaurant receipts and text messages that show I was away from the hotel during those hours. I’ve also requested surveillance footage to support my case. Despite my efforts, including trying to reach the General Manager for over three weeks, I’ve received no resolution. It’s been incredibly frustrating and time-consuming, and I feel that my concerns have been completely ignored. I’ve never encountered anything like this before and would never consider staying at this hotel again. I would strongly advise others to be cautious when booking here. This experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. Read less
