We won't stay here again…read more The photos look nice and, in general, it's okay. Here's what you should know: There is still musty carpet in the rooms. The A/C takes hours to cool the room down. There was a loud leak behind the walls in our bathroom. The toilet was not sealed to the ground so it rocked if you sat on it. The A/C had a loud constant rattle when it was on. The bathroom had no fan so anyone in the room can hear you using the bathroom. It also had no dimmable or soft light options so if you use the bathroom in the middle of the night you only have a bright light to turn on. If you look over the balcony you can see the rectangular pool, but when you sit on the chairs you only see townhouses across the street. If you can overlook those things, then here are the positives: The bed was comfortable. There was a mini fridge. The parking garage was small, but well-lit & you must use your room key to use the elevator, which is a nice safety feature. The room doors have a peep hole, but you also get a peephole cover so no one can look into your room. Once the room was cooled, it was nice to rest on their comfy bed. They have breakfast & a little shopette. Here is why we won't stay here again: The manager never called me about our terrible last night's stay. The last night of our stay, the next room over had a screaming kid & baby. All.night.long. I mean nonstop & it was impossible to sleep. By 3:30am we called the front desk & they said they would check on them. At 4am we called again because it didn't stop. I called & spoke with Kylie. She wasn't helpful & instead of apologizing or offering to move us, she only said "alright" before hanging up when I let her know that I would call back if it continues. When we shared our experience at the front desk the next day, the lady apologized, but that was it. I asked if they could do something for us, so she retrieved an older lady. That lady said that she can't offer anything but the general manager would be in on Monday & would call me then. Never received a call.

Whether it's pricing, cleanliness, customer service or location, I have nothing but good things to say. Consistency is key with anything & I can confidently say I've had nothing but good experiences in all the times I've stayed here. Most importantly, this hotel is clean. Whether it's the lobby, hallways, rooms or any of the common areas, it always seems tidy. House keeping does a great job at tending to the rooms, making sure the place is kept spotless. Of course, there's been times where I've had to wipe a countertop off that got overlooked, but generally speaking, they're on it here. They're also in a great location when it comes to visiting from out of town. They're less than 5 minutes from Honeymoon Island State Park, 10 minutes from downtown Dunedin & they're surrounded by delicious restaurants. In fact, they practically share a parking lot with one of the best seafood joints in all of Clearwater. You get free parking here, there's a nice pool, the gym is solid (but currently being renovated) & they have a pretty good complimentary breakfast. Coffee & hot tea is offered in the lobby 24/7. Honors members also get 2 bottles of water upon check-in which is always one of my favorite freebies. Overall, this hotel makes visiting a treat every time. The incredibly comfortable beds, quiet surroundings & nice staff are all you could ask for when traveling.

My husband and I went for a quick honeymoon getaway, just 2 nights of our Florida trip because our room was booked over the weekend. There was plenty of parking in front of the hotel which was perfect because we didn't need our car in Dunedin. Check-in was seamless and the communication with the front desk was excellent. We stayed in the Zen Suite which has a patio facing the street. There is a lovely wine bar with live music across the street. Both nights we sat outside and enjoyed the music but do visit Stirling Wine (I reviewed them as well, great crowd). The Zen Suite is so comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Anything you need is already in the room including dishes, flatware, refrigerator, iron, blow dryer and robes. It was easy to relax. The king bed was very comfortable. We found everything in the room easy to operate - TV, AC, door locks. We also enjoyed the pool area. The pool wasn't heated so it was too cold for me but my husband enjoyed it. I relaxed on a lounge chair with an umbrella. We also took advantage of the breakfast promo with the red next door which was very convenient. Overall 10/10 doesn't cut it. We cannot wait to visit again and will stay at least 3 nights!

It is in an area where the public can't access it really well so there are no major streets. The hotel is a historical site because it's been there for a very long time.

This was a surprise trip for my husband (our anniversary) and I didn't want to pay with a credit card, so they were very nice to accept my cash ahead of our trip. I thought that was going above & beyond. And because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary, they provided a beautiful bottle of sparkling cider and 2 glasses. Plus, what a quaint and thoughtful way to welcome us every morning with a cute picnic basket with snacks! Although we did not utilize the swimming pool it looked very nice and I really liked that there are cabanas. Best of all, this hotel didn't seem crowded! It really is like a hidden gem! There is a tour guide at specified times in the day, that will take you through the hotel to discuss the historical perspective. It is REALLY interesting and it's a must! The hotel is just steps away from Clearwater Beach, therefore you have easy access. There are also nearby activities such as The Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which we love. Our king size bedroom was very clean & beautiful and had a view of the front of the hotel. We were pleasantly greeted with goodies, like I mentioned above, but above all I loved the plush & cozy bathrobe! We will definitely be staying here again in the future. It's a great way to have a staycation, rejuvenate, and breathe in the fresh sea air. You won't be disappointed!

The property itself is beautiful, and the lobby and common areas make a great first impression…read more Unfortunately, my overall experience was bad enough that I would not choose to stay here again. If you're looking for 3 nights of uninterrupted sleep, I would strongly recommend booking elsewhere. If you're looking for a front desk that seems largely indifferent after multiple complaints about noise, this may be the place for you. If slow internet is high on your wish list, you'll feel right at home. One of the biggest challenges was the noise. This is an older property, and sound travels easily between rooms and common areas. During both nights of my stay, wedding related events were taking place on site. On one evening, the noise continued past 11:00 p.m. directly beneath my room and made it extremely difficult to sleep when I had to be up very early the next morning. When I contacted the front desk, I was informed that they were unsure when the event would conclude but would ask guests to keep the noise down. While I appreciated the effort, the disturbance continued for quite some time. To make matters worse, I got very little sleep during my stay due to a combination of wedding noise, loud guests, and children running around above my room sounding as though they were jumping off furniture. One of the wedding groups was openly drinking in an area where alcohol was apparently not permitted, while music and noise continued well into the evening. I made multiple complaints, and while I was told staff spoke with those involved, nothing meaningfully changed. Guests who are sensitive to noise or need a quiet environment should absolutely keep this in mind before booking. Housekeeping was another area where my experience fell short of expectations. I spoke with 2 different employees and requested that my room be serviced later in the day due to my schedule. Both assured me it would be handled. However, when I returned that evening, the room had not been cleaned. The trash had accumulated, I was out of fresh towels, and I had to contact the front desk multiple times before reaching someone. After a long day away from the property, this irritated me. I also felt the property was marketed in a misleading way. The booking photos make it appear as though you're staying at a large historic waterfront resort. In reality, a real estate developer has built numerous Florida-style condominiums and oddly placed residential homes throughout the surrounding property. Much of this development is conveniently omitted from the booking photos. While the hotel building itself is beautiful, the actual setting is far different from what is portrayed online. The surrounding condos and residential buildings significantly diminish the historic atmosphere, and I found the marketing misleading. The room itself was comfortable enough, but I did notice a few cleanliness concerns upon arrival, including crumbs and areas that appeared to have been overlooked during preparation for check-in. It's also worth noting that this is not a full-service hotel. Dining options on-site and nearby are somewhat limited. There is a small coffee bar, and guests receive a breakfast basket with items such as croissants and fruit, but there is no room service and only limited food service available. The property has a lot of visual appeal and potential, but the combination of noise issues, inconsistent housekeeping, slow internet, limited responsiveness, and unmet expectations regarding the overall experience left me upset. Having worked with professionals in the hospitality industry for many years, I can honestly say this was one of the poorest guest experiences I have ever encountered. A good night's sleep is one of the most important parts of any hotel stay, and that was not my experience here. It's a real shame that this property wasn't preserved in a way that honored its historic character. Instead, much of that character has been overshadowed by the surrounding development, which takes away from what could have been a beautiful landmark. Personally, I wouldn't say here again. Beautiful property, worst service and worst sleep of my life.

The check-in experience was outstanding. Katy and Tina were both professional, welcoming, and efficient. They made a fantastic first impression, and check-in was truly a 10 out of 10. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. One of the reasons we chose this property was the rooftop bar experience, particularly at sunset. Upon arrival, we learned that the bar had been reserved for a wedding party, leaving hotel guests without access during one of the most desirable times of day. The alternative pool bar experience was disappointing. There was only one bartender attempting to serve a large number of guests, and we were never able to receive service. Dinner that evening was even more frustrating. Our server appeared inexperienced, which became apparent when she poured red wine across the table toward me in a way that could easily have resulted in wine being spilled on a guest. We ordered a sushi roll appetizer, but the rice was noticeably undercooked. The bigger issue, however, was that nobody checked back with us. For approximately 10 minutes, there were no servers or managers visible in the dining room. When a manager finally walked by, he kept his head down and did not acknowledge guests. After another 10 to 12 minutes, I was finally able to get his attention and explain the issue. His response was that our server had told him we wanted additional time before ordering. While that was true, it completely missed the point. We had already received an appetizer that was inedible, and nobody had checked on us. By that point, the dining experience had already been damaged. We ultimately skipped the appetizer and ordered entrees. I had the steak, and my wife had the ahi tuna. The food was acceptable but nowhere near memorable enough to overcome the poor service experience. The following day brought another frustration. We had been granted a late checkout, but when we returned to our room around 12:15 p.m., neither our physical key nor our digital key worked. When I went to the front desk to resolve the issue, I found a line of guests and was told I would need to wait. Taken together, these issues point to what appears to be a management problem rather than isolated employee mistakes. The staff members at check-in were excellent, but throughout the rest of our stay there seemed to be a lack of oversight, responsiveness, and attention to guest concerns. This property has great potential and an excellent location, which makes the experience even more disappointing. Based on the reviews and accolades, we expected a premium hotel and dining experience. Unfortunately, that was not what we received.
