I stayed at Brightwater Suites on Clearwater Beach on a Saturday night. I was hanging out with a…read moregroup of friends for a friends birthday and wanted a place to stay near the beach but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I found this place on hotels.com, priced at $100 a night. Parking cost an additional $10 a night. You do have to pay more to check in before 4:00 which is a little annoying as most places let you check in early if your room is available with no extra fee. The location couldn't be better. It's extremely centrally located and a short walk to Pier 60. The hotel is old but not run down. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable which is all I was worried about that evening. They even have bikes you can use during the day. My room was large it had one twin bed, two double beds, two rooms, a small bathroom, and came equipped with a microwave, medium size refrigerator and sink in the kitchen. As a local looking for a quick getaway, I wound definitely stay here again.

I absolutely LOVE this hotel! First let me start off by…read moresaying the customer service there is outstanding! We got a king and the room was CLEAN and updated. The shower...ohhh my lord...heaven! We were also walking distance from Kings Pizza(super nice people & the food was amazing!). There was also a nice bar/grill called Coco's that was walking distance. They have live music every night Need toiletries, snacks, or souvenirs?....there's a surf shop right across the street that has soooo much to choose from. The beach is also walking distance. We stayed at this hotel twice & we WILL be back on our next vacation! I love this place

Other than a $49/night truck stop hotel I stayed at in my 20's, this is the singularly worst hotel…read moreI've ever been at. It is filthy, the mold/mildew smell is overwhelming and physically sickening, the black mold in the bathroom is appalling, the water marks on the ceiling weren't even attempted to be covered, the metal on the light fixtures was covered with rust, and there were no doors on any of the closets, just filthy tracks left for you to look at. The kid at the front desk was condescending and unapologetic. At over $2,100/week we certainly didn't expect the ritz, but we also didn't expect to be renting a room from a slumlord that would make a person physically ill. Thankfully they gave us a full refund and we found other lodging. The one star is there only because Yelp does not allow zero. DO NOT STAY HERE.

It's just old and tired, and possibly haunted...

During our recent tour through Central Florida, we booked some time in a villa at this little…read morebeachside community. Since each unit is different, and some are guest houses while others are home to full-time residents, I will not go into extreme detail on the particular pros and cons of the villa itself. I will state the villa we stayed in was beachside to the Gulf, well decorated in bright, tropical colors, and gave us much needed access to a full-size furnished kitchen. The cons included extremely uncomfortable beds, very rusty beach-going items, and the need to purchase our own toilet paper, paper towels, ice, and laundry detergent. Booooo. These villas are nestled in a mostly residential area of Indian Rocks Beach. It is approximately eight miles south from all the hustle and bustle of the now infamous Clearwater Beach. (The speed limits on the main road leading into CWB is tortourous, by the way.) However, a few restaurants and shops are dotted throughout the neighborhood. Plus, the city of Largo is just a few blocks away where you can find chain grocery and drug stores. There aren't many villas in this community, which instantly makes it feel cozy. Each villa has two, covered parking spaces and a storage unit. Upon entering from the ground floor into the foyer, ascend two flights of stairs to the first full bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining room, and balcony. Continue on up two more flights of stairs to the loft, laundry area, two bedrooms, and another full bath. Additionally, the villa boasted plenty of storage with closets everywhere, and lots of windows. The balcony offered up spectacular views of the Gulf, and our bedroom windows allowed us to be lulled to sleep by listening to the waves crash onto the shore. From anywhere in this community, the beach is literally steps away. The community also has a sand shower, right next to the beach access steps, to prevent tracking sand into places you don't want it to go. The pool on site is quite small, but certainly sufficient with tables and lounge chairs. There's even a recycling area on site, which you know this chick was thrilled about. Ultimately, if the beds were replaced, we'd gladly stay here again. TIP: Take your flashlight and a buddy for a late night walk on the beach. It's super dark out at IRB without moonlight, and can be quite dangerous if you lose your bearings.
