Florida Gulf Coast Hotels

"Staff was helpful and nice. Clogged toilet they took care of right away. Room smelled, hair in the bed, on the floor, on the towels. Sketchy area is a motel not a hotel. Pool was closed by the state. "

"Hotel is okay, wouldnt stay there again. Toilet vent don't work, whole feel of room is musty, smells terrible. Room was different than what front desk said. Overall just bad place "

"Ran out of hot items"

"The property is very old and in bad shape. All the outlets were worn out. Small TV. Shower barely worked. Furniture worn out. Carpets filthy. The only part of the breakfast that was ok was the coffee. Cereals mislabeled. Bagels stale. "

"This property was clean and as advertised. The rooms had obviously been remodeled but one of the beds squeeked and the mattress was in poorer condition than the other. The staff was inconsiderate putting a elderly handicapped guest in one of the few rooms that didn't have an elevator nor was a ground floor. The woman cleaning the food area was rude and insisted my disabled mother get up from the bench so she could mop instead of her just waiting 5 minutes for the transfer it was obvious we were waiting for. During breakfast i'd heard/noticed her being irritated for having to do her job. This person clearly hates her work and had zero interest in guest experience. "

"I arrived around 4:20 PM when checkin was supposed to be at 3. The lobby was full of people (10ish) who were all waiting for rooms that were not ready. The front desk staff explained that they were short staffed. One group said they had been waiting since before 3 PM. When I spoke with the front desk staff, they said it would be a least another 30 minutes and did not even take my name down to ensure that there would be a first come, first assigned process. The young lady was very pleasant though. I was in town for an event, and went ahead and left to go to that and returned around 11 PM and found that one of the others in our party was assigned my single queen bed instead of 2 double beds that they needed. Not a big deal, just more evidence of sloppiness. My room appeared clean, but when I went to take a shower after walking around on the faux flooring a bit, there was obvious dirt that followed me into the shower. When I checked out the next morning, I discovered that the hotel charged only $127.09 but Hotels.com charged me $152.20. This is not HomeTowne Studios' fault and I will be following up with Hotels.com about the difference."

"The room smelled so strongly of disinfectant that I could not stay there. I felt like they were trying to cover up a worse smell. We tried airing out the room but nothing helped and then I got an asthma attack from it. The bed had clearly been slept in and the covers just pulled up. The door was open when we arrived--we were a little scared to go in. When we shut the door, the gaps on the top, bottom and sides were large enough that we could see outside--which means someone could see INside! After about 15 minutes we decided to cut our losses and hightailed it out of there. Truly a nightmare!"

"We stayed at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was very clean, well maintained, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is perfect — right by the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and attractions, which made everything so convenient. They were also kind enough to accommodate a late checkout for us, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a great stay and we will definitely be back!"

"The pool was very enjoyable. The staff were excellent and very accommodating. "
