Always Great!!!!

Extremely clean, comfortable, great housekeeping, nice beach bar. Only complaint is that the air-conditioning in the room was noisy. Overall, 9.5/10.All employees courteous and friendly, also. Pool and common areas neat and clean. We will return.


Disappointing.

We had been here twice before and this was a birthday present for my husband. I had told the reservationist this when making the reservation. The rates were very high for a room that smelled of mold. They did nothing to make this special. I won't be going back. There...

Apartment stay

Love this place but we stayed in an apartment this time and wish we could have gotten a regular room. Location was great but the furniture in the living room area is so uncomfortable. No couch just two “beds” covered with cold vinyl. We put towels over them! You can’t...

Best Motel on the Beach.

Great Place to Stay! Room was excellent and very clean. Sandbar Bills is the place to eat drink, and make new friends! Cant wait to get back! The House Keeping crew was there every morning to see if we needed the room cleaned and extra Towels.

The room is cooled by an in-the-wall unit that can be quite noisy, but does mask any outside noise from infiltrating the room. Good WiFi. Limited horizontal storage. The customer...

Mom, I understand why you loved it!

Excellent location and pristine, even a few days after Ian rolled through. My parents stayed here years ago for extended stays while visiting family. They raved about it. It took me a long time to get a reservation and I am glad I did. Awesome!


Great beachside place

A great little beachside motel! This place is a great motel on St. Pete Beach. Easy access for morning walks on the beach in addition to your beach day. You can fish from the beach but the action was a little slow. Two beautiful pools, and snack bar and laundry....
