I stayed one night and then moved to another Airbnb. It was dirty. Bathroom window didn't lock, and there were handprints on outside of it. The linens, bedding, bed, and tv were nice. I sat up all nite as I did not feel safe. read more

Me and my boyfriend loved our stay at Sta'n Pla. This retro motel is perfect for budget trips. We were in room 28, it included everything we could have possibly needed during our two night stay. We used UV lights as soon as we entered and essentially everything was cleaned spotless. The floors did need a good mopping; my feet were turning black after 20 minutes, but that didn't bother us too much. We didn't see any bugs the whole time either. We really felt at home here, i slept amazing the whole stay. We felt very safe leaving our things in the room while we attended a concert in Tampa as well as explore the beach, which really is only a 3 minute walk. The beach nearby is beautiful and is covered in shells.There's also plenty of places nearby for food. The area is nice and is decently quiet, we felt safe and very comfortable walking around to take pictures at 3am. The pool was clean, they even allowed us to cool off in it before we checked in. They also allowed us to fish on the docks which had sheepshead. Antonia was very kind and informative throughout our stay. Overall we really enjoyed it here and we couldn't be happier. We'll definitely be back :) Cleanliness -7/10 Atmosphere - 8/10 Area - 9/10 Amenities - 7/10 (there is no washer or dryer) read more

Sta'n Pla Motel - Sta'n Pla Motel - Room 28 bathroom - Hotels Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

I love love loved this place. I'd go 4.5 stars. Just because most of the other old style beach motels don't charge for parking. This is a clean spot and you can use any of the three pools of their three hotels. Some updates going on. Room was large and spacious. Bathroom was very small. But it worked! Great stay. read more

I thought everything was wonderful for the price I paid. I would make sure you get waterfront though otherwise you're looking at the pool. You can rent bikes, beach chairs, and umbrellas all for free as long as you return them. The guy at the front who helped us in the morning took care of all our needs, and I was even being needy and asked to move to a lower level after I already took the room upstairs, so very very helpful and clean environment. Not a far walk from the shops and restaurants. read more

The location is good and room clean. However, toilet would run after filling (needed a new fill valve), shower head, when adjusted, would spray where attached. Cords for the blinds on the windows were twisted together or broken off. TV reception poor even though it was a flat screen. No elevator for second floor. read more

My boyfriend and I had a great stay here. No problems with the front desk. Very clean inside the room. Amazing view with sliding glass door. Barely ever heard neighbors, if at all. We didnt turn on the tv but decent sized mini fridge and the ac was cold. There was even a mini fan you can plug into the wall if you wanted more air. They supplied 2 pool towels, which was nice and a small grill outside. The only complaint I have is that the bathroom was very small. It was a very nice tiled shower, but small. No shelves in the shower to hold toiletries. Toilet was very close to the wall. Barely any counter space. I had to do my makeup on the bed. Bed was comfy too. Overall, a pretty good place to stay for the price. read more

First, I wanna say! Barb, the manager was so so UNPROFESSIONAL! This is what happen! We arrived at Sta N Pla Motel, upon checking in, they say I have a balance to pay. Now I KNOW the money for my reservation was taken out of my account when we booked back in March. So of course, I'm upset. They insisted we didnt pay, that hotels.com didnt take the money and they didnt take it but no one could explain where it went. So since I was with 4 kids & 23 hours away from home, I just paid (for the second time) for the first night & was gonna call my bank and get my bank statements emailed the next morning since they were closed when we arrived. Before 9 AM (when my bank OPENS) the next morning, after I went to the office & asked for the remaining balance, because I was gonna pay & figure everything out when we get home (because by this time, my vacation was a disaster & we just wanted to relax), Barb followed me back to my room, demanded (VERY RUDELY) that I pay or get out. Or she was calling the cops. Which she could have. No problem, I did NOTHING WRONG. so i packed my family and found a better hotel! As I turned in the keys, barb (the "manager") yelled DONT COME BACK. with other customers in the lobby!!! I have left bad reviews in every place possible for ONE reason, no one will give me a number to contact someone above barb, they've ignored me & hung up on me. & everytime, they reply to my reviews with a diff story on how I was wrong. NOT TO MENTION I WAS THREATENED WITH A LAWYER FOR WRITING A BAD REVIEW, apparently that's harassment (barbs words) Now, they're gonna reply and say 1 of these things 1) they called Expedia (not even who i booked through) on my behalf & I only paid $50 dollar deposit 2) my card number didnt match what I booked with (& I was committing fraud). Because i booked & paid months ago. Then Last month, our bank was hit with scammers & they replaced our cards. Same name, same account. Diff card. 3) I had too many people. I didnt include my 2 year old in my reservation, ooops ! (He was sleeping in OUR port a crib) AND/OR (THE BEST ONE YET) 4) I REFUSED TO PAY. But I paid in full, when I booked then paid again for the first night, because I had no choice. & didnt even give me a chance to get bank statements or even just pay again and fight it later. This is hands down the WORST experience I had ever. BARB SHOULD NOT WORK WITH THE PUBLIC. Edit to add, I loved LOVED the ladies that we checked in the first day with, so so so nice & helpful! second day, complete 360! So rude read more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days last week while visiting Clearwater. The room was okay, kind of small. The refrigerator hasn't been plugged in for some time, and was warm and smelled bad so we were unable to use it. One of the bedside lamps didn't work at all. The toilet ran and we had to sometimes jiggle the handle to get it to fill and flush. The fitted sheet on the king size bed was slightly too small and came off the corners if we moved at all. The outside of the motel is beautiful and very retro with the neon sign. Our room was located in a really cute courtyard that I loved walking into every day. The outside of the motel and quaint retro vibe made up for the room's shortcomings for me, and despite the numerous issues, I did mostly enjoy our stay here. We didn't contact the front desk about any of the problems, just decided to deal with it since we were out of the room most of the time anyway. So I'm not sure how they deal with things like that. Also the person who left a review saying her car was keyed is wrong about it being in a "bad neighborhood." We walked the entire neighborhood exploring, and it was beautiful. read more

The trash dumpster is overflowing after each weekend so there are rats everywhere throughout the week. Then, the birds attack the overloaded dumpster in the afternoon so there's always trash blowing around. The new "absentee" owners aren't there and don't care. There is just no management on site to address these issues. Disgusting! I'd stay at the Parker Manor Resort, just down the street. They can afford to have their garbage picked up. read more

Stayed here last night for Memorial Day and we are in love!!!! Cutest little hotel on Clearwater beach! We will definitely make this an annual staycation! The staff is so friendly and the rooms are adorable. In the midst of huge high rises being built everywhere, this little Hotel is a breath of fresh air!!! #inlove read more

This was literally better than any upscale hotel we've ever visited; from the customer service to all the amenities. We took full advantage of the bikes and were able to get a daily workout. The umbrellas and beach chairs are great quality and the rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. The resort is so close to the beach it's insane to try and park anywhere else. Oh I forgot to mention the pool! So clean! I've never witness anyone cleaning a pool at any hotel visit. At Sta n Pla they cleaned the pool each morning of our stay! This is the definition of amazing. I really appreciated the cleanliness. I'm sure I'm leaving out so many details but we have so many good things to say about this place. Thank you again for an amazing vacation! read more

For a motel it's perfect!! Very cute very clean. Love the "wood look" floor. Memory foam mattress. We slept great. Sofa bed also included. Kitchenette clean and included everything we needed ( if we were going to cook but didn't - only because I was on vacation.) microwave, stove- 4 coiled electric burners, Efficiency size fridge & stove, toaster, dishes, pots & pans, cutlery, dish rack, liquid soap for dishes & even a new sponge to clean dishes. Flat screen TV with Wifi. Beautiful landscaped grounds with nice clean pool. Also saw beach cruisers bikes to rent. One thing to keep in mind is that there is NO Maid service unless you ask for it. The lock on the door was a little " rickety"... But I still felt safe. Definitely would stay again. In fact when we go back to Clearwater we are staying at the Stay n Play. read more

My dog Maddy & I were hurricane victims, no power for days, nice little retro motel off the strip, they didn't gouge us, and they took great care of their locals! Wonderful people! I liked it here. Lisa S Largo, FL read more

Sta n Pla...with the roaches. Room seemed ok until the following morning when I was greeted by a little dude with antennas watching me on the toilet. Couldn't quite make out what he was trying to say but I think it was a touristy insult. Didn't stay the 2nd night and managed to get 1/2 that fee returned. It was worth cutting our losses...later read more

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with 5 other best friends. two double/full beds in one room with a bathroom and a sofa bed in the living room/kitchen. Pretty small but we only really used it for sleeping and it was in good condition. Pretty good motel for the price and location and to accommodate all of us. Owner I think she was, was really friendly and laid back. Would definitely recommend nothing like a five star hotel but it's clean, comfortable and the service is great. cute pool in the middle of it all :) and literally a nice walk to the beach and tourists services. read more

Very small room, tiny shower that didn't drain properly. No blow dryer, which was a big no-no for me. Air conditioner unit was extremely loud. The 10am checkout was quite early since we were out the night before. As we were almost ready to leave our room and check out, there was a knock at our door it was 9:55am. The cleaning lady was already trying to bust down the door. Like, seriously. Kinda ridiculous. Wasn't worth the $160/night stay. read more

Tremendous help from the front desk (terry) was his name. Bent over backwards to assist in a mixup by hotels.com Rooms nice and grounds are clean! Great price! Thank Terry Ross! read more

I needed to cancel my reservation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The motel does not offer a credit nor a refund for cancellations. I cannot believe it!! This is the only business not to offer flexibility during this time of crisis. I sent a message to them on Yelp asking for either a refund or a credit and they have not responded. A simple credit will ensure I will stay with them in the future. This is a time of Americanism and they do not have it! read more

Very friendly staff, nice clean room. I was nothing but impressed with the entire stay. They have bikes that you can rent for free, which makes getting around Clearwater much easier. I highly recommend. read more

Amazing staff, clean rooms, family budget friendly with kitchens! Plus it is walking distance to one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida (with lifegaurds.) read more

We really enjoyed our short stay to this motel. It is close to the beach. The staff was friendly and helpful. She recommended a yummy place for dinner. The room was clean and comfy. I actually felt like I could walk around barefoot. At only $92 a night, it was a great value. read more

So after staying here a few times and having no major problems we decided to book for my bday weekend. Well boy did they drop the ball, to the point that we will be paying more to stay elsewhere going forward. It all started when we called an hour before check in time to ask if a room would be ready even though we would be there early, she said that it wouldn't be a problem as the rooms were already cleaned. Than when we arrived at 2:15 (45 mins before checkin) she told us our room wouldn't be ready for about 30 mins. We said no problem we will go hang out by the water. So we go back at 2:50pm and as soon as I open the door im told by the women my room still isn't ready. I asked when it would be ready and she said " checkin time isnt until 3pm. So I said fine we will go grab lunch as to not rush you guys but please make sure its ready when we get back. So at 3:30 we arrive back and I wait in the lobby 10 minutes before the women walks back in and says I think your room is ready, sorry I haven't had a chance to check. Of course it wasn't, they than offered me a bigger room which was not on the water so I did not accept. I asked for a refund and they fortunately obliged. Thats was the only thing they got right on the day, my refund. As i said before and it saddens me to say but we will not be back. read more

This is definitely more than a motel!! I have stayed in other "hotels" I'm clearwater and this place is way better! The rooms were very clean and I experienced the best customer service. I witnessed the male front desk worker literally run for guests accommodations on MANY occasions. Then I ordered take out and did not recurve any forks. I asked the male desk worker while he was doing something else and he personally found forks and then delivered them to my room. The prices are very reasonable and the location is great. I will always rebook this hotel read more

Great location for our trip. Three friends and I booked the Sta'n Pla Resort last minute so that we could be close to the beach for a big tournament in October. We were able to use the hotel's Bikes - which was PERFECT for us. The staff was very informative, friendly and clear about the policies of the hotel. We biked to and from breakfast, the beach, stores when we needed something very last minute, and helped downsize on travel time to and from our tournament when it was time to shower and get out the door for dinner/meeting with other friends. On the first day, when I got a flat tire, I returned the bike to the office and they said they'd have it fixed up asap. Luckily, I was not far away and took the other bike my friends were using for breakfast nearby. Our fourth party came riding in on the bike when we were waiting for him to finish working in the room no more than an hour later. The staff really was amazing. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We had enough keys to the rooms for everyone to come and go as needed and helped that we did not ever have to go to the front to get keys reset or replaced (original door keys really are essential) We all LOVED this room, the pool, the location and the friendliness of the staff overall. Thank you for making our visit a great one! we loved Clearwater, but more importantly, we enjoyed our hotel accommodations. read more

My car was keyed here in the parking lot. They are located In a bad neighborhood The room was fair at best. There are other much better hotels in the area that I would pick instead read more

This place is okay. The beds were small and the room was humid and muggy but the location was nice and the pools were nice and the staff was very friendly....the place could use a few updates here and there but all in all it was okay. read more

Check in process was a little slow. But the girl working behind the desk was super nice. Our group booked 6 rooms for the weekend in their "remodeled" location. I think it was remodeled 15 years ago. However, the room seemed clean so we were OK with that. Right off the bat I noticed that the room didn't have a blow dryer. We requested one around 2:00PM which was going to be delivered to our room. Around 5:00 we went out for the evenening. No blow dryer yet. The next morning I realized we still had no blow dryer and toilet paper. I went first thing in the AM to the desk since check out was at 10:00. Little early in my opinion. There was a different lady behind the desk that we saw the day before sitting around the outside motel. She proceeded to argue with me that we had toilet paper in our bathroom cabinet. I asked her to come see for herself. We didn't even have a cabinet in the bathroom. Another employee told her our room 111 didn't have a cabinet. I don't know why she had to argue with me. Also asked her for the blow dryer that I never got the night before. She told me they didn't have any available and if I wanted on she would have to go to another property. She made no effort to get me a blow dryer. The other NICE girl showed up and we asked her. She pulled the dryer out from behind the desk that the rude lady was sitting. For less cost we could have stayed at many other newer hotels with ammenities. We won't be going back there again. read more

This was a nice place, but five stars? Come on, it's a motel! This was a very nice beach motel. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. It's a short walk to the beach. The beach was very crowded. I'd suggest driving down to sand key state park. read more

This hotel was not good. From what I observed they are very rude. First of all, when we arrived we needed to switch to another room because one of my family members is asthmatic, the room had a weird smell and was too humid, but they declined and said there were no other available rooms. But when we were outside, we saw that there were available rooms because the maid was cleaning and they were letting walk-ins. Talking about the maid, she is very nosy and can't do her job. First off, they say the maid comes in to clean to rooms on the third day but when she came to "clean" our room she only fixed the beds. She didn't change the covers to new ones. It was the same ones we had. Two days before we left the hotel a nice cleaning lady changed everything for us. Plus, that cleaning lady apologized for the other cleaning lady's action. She said that that cleaning lady doesn't change the sheets and she is nasty. Lastly, what I see is they discriminate. We went to the office and asked if we can leave our luggage there because our flight wasn't till hours later and checkout was early, but there were a different culture who had left their bags there. And not trying to be racist, they were white. We are Hispanic and you can tell by the way we talk and color. I am planning on never staying in this motel again. They really need to hire a new cleaning lady, and not be discriminative. read more
