Hampton Inn & Suites Clearwater/St. Petersburg-Ulmerton Road, FL

10/10 Excellent

"Hampton Inn is the best. They have been my go to places to stay when traveling. They have very clean rooms and facilities. The staff here was excellent. Definitely recommend!"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Clearwater Central

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The hotel isn't the newest hotel but it is super cute and well kept. I love small hotels so this was perfect. We stayed for 6 days and thank the Lord had no issues. On the day of our arrival, Brooke at the front desk was very pleasant. We had a room that faced the inside part of the hotel where we could see the pool and the nicest part of the hotel. If you have a lengthy stay, definitely request it. Especially if you plan on sitting in the balcony area, like we did. Our room was cleaned daily with no issues. I actually saw lots of cleaning being done throughout the hotel during my stay. Which is always a plus. We requested and paid for a late checkout and had no issues there either. Free breakfast was a super plus. And it was good! The roach motel (roadway inn) across the parking lot. Gross. Definitely glad we were nowhere near it. Trashy, and sometimes loud! We only saw it when we parked our car. Thank the Lord. The pool towels need to be cleaned better and need to be replaced completely. They are super small. Like even too small for a kid. Something the hotel should definitely upgrade. The towels do nothing. Super thin and rough. That being said, Overall a good experience."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham St. Pete-Clearwater Airpt

2/10 Terrible

"This hotel was nasty I didn’t even want to go in the room due to the condition of the lobby and hallways. The elevator, hallway and doors were dirty and damaged. The property was not properly maintained and was extremely overpriced. I would not recommend staying here."
