What I thought was odd was you conducted all transactions through a small sliding window. There were a lot of construction workers and people placed by FEMA. But, surprisingly, it was quiet and we didn't have any trouble. The parking lot was well lit. The website stated that there weren't any bedsheets on the beds, but there were, and they were clean. Overall, the stay was better than I expected.

A nice inexpensive motel.

Did not see any bugs. Room was clean, though it was dated. Had a king with 2 pillows. Pool area looked nice. I would stay again. It's not bad considering the price. About a 15 minute drive from The Sound amphitheater.

Inn was right on the main road to clearwater beach and Pier 60. Walmart was just a block away. Very old place but nice and clean. Nice tv with great selections. Fridge and microwave were nice. There were some people hanging out outside room next to us, were friendly but made me a little nervous. Overall a nice place to stay for a night or two while visiting the clearwater area.

We arrived and we couldn't breathe from the bad smell inside the room, it had no windows, the smell of smoke and humidity. Dirty carpet. We went to another place within 30 minutes of arriving.

Loved the location. Close to many shops. Only 15min drive to clearwater beach. Room was clean There was a stove in our room, which i didn't know, but i wish they had a few pots/pans or dishes to use. As it is pointless to have a stone and no dishes. No coffee maker in the room.
