When I booked a room the website called this a 3.5 star hotel. There is no doubt that the location is a 4 or 5 star location. The hotel is right on the water of Tampa Bay. Connected to the hotel is a outdoor bar and grill with sand volleyball. However the rooms are about 2 star rooms. Rooms were... More

I am a Best Western Platinum Elite member, and I was thoroughly disappointed with my stay at this hotel in April 2013. I stayed at this hotel for one night with my wife and another couple when we were on our way to a wedding in Clearwater Beach, FL. After arriving and waiting on line at the hotel's front desk,...

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. My room was on the bayfront and it was absolutely beautiful. The room service from Hulk Hogan's Restaurant next door was excellent. There are two nightclubs with live bands in the immediate area, but the music stopped at 11:00 PM, and I enjoyed listening to the bands. The staff was friendly and... More

A little pricey I think but the view from the balcony on the waterfront side is beautiful. The restaurant on site, Hogan's Beach, is a bit overpriced as well but consider that you are paying for the name. The food was so-so. My husband enjoyed his food but mine was not worth what I paid for it. We tried dinner... More

The hotel itself is nice. It is clean, nice furniture and lovely balconies. If you stay on the water side, it is lovely to sit out and enjoy the morning breezy. However, there is the hotel attached to the hotel, the Hogan's Beach is noisy and seems to draw a fairly rowdy crowd. Furthermore, the restaurant across the water cranks... More
