Walking into our room was like entering a tropical themed apartment, not a typical hotel room. I loved the colors, style, and attention to comfortable bedding. The sofa bed was a happy surprise, even though my 14 yo daughter was ready to sleep on the comfy couch. We never heard the traffic from Rt 60. Everything is within walking distance, from the Clearwater Aquarium and Publix to the 24-hr Walgreens next door, shop on the avenue and the Marina Cantina shopping/restaurant complex across the street. Once we parked at check-in, our car didn't move until after we checked out. Added Bonus, within 30 minutes of checking in - my daughter spotted a dolphin in the waterway 50 yds past the hotel. I will stay here my next trip to Clearwater - the only change I'll make, I'm bringing our bicycles and paddleboards. Much thanks to the owner of this hotel gem!! Jenn Z.
