Top Sand Key Hotel Reviews

GALAXY HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome stay! Great location !"

Mint House St. Petersburg Downtown by Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"This place was exactly what I was looking for. Central to everything, extremely walkable. My only complaint is that having to move my car around did get kind of old. Valet parking is exorbitant at $40 a day. Luckily downtown has tons of free parking options right around the hotel, so if you time it right you can park easily for free overnight. It’s very central to a lot of nightlife, so expect to hear some noise at night. Surprisingly things calmed down even on weekends around midnight."

Clearwater Beach Sheraton Resort on Sand Key

8/10 Good

"Only issue was the fact you have to pay for parking when staying at hotel. But that is Florida overall Clean, great staff, good amenities....you would think parking would be paid for in your room charge. Sand key is a more low key beach. Which we prefer vs Clearwater area."

Island Grand at TradeWinds

8/10 Good

"Room slightly outdated and a little shabby. Having towels, chaise and umbrella free of charge was wonderful. Staff was always friendly!!! Very helpful and always treated us with such great customer service Consider having some complimentary coffee in lobby. Prices pretty steep on a lot of things but I guess that’s expected at a resort."
