Holiday Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach, An Ihg Hotel, Clearwater Beach

My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The location was perfect, close to the beach and within walking distance of excellent restaurants. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff, especially Marcus and the front desk team, were incredibly welcoming and helpful. However, the dining options could use some improvement to offer a wider selection. The hotel provides various services and facilities that add convenience to the stay. The value for money was fair, but there were some minor noise disturbances that affected my enjoyment at times.

The hotel had a wonderful location right on the beach, just a short walk away from dining options. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, with a spectacular view of both Palm trees by the pool and the Gulf. The service was friendly and professional, adding to the enjoyable stay. However, I found the dining prices a bit high for simple items like orange juice, and the lack of in-room safes could be inconvenient for longer stays.

During my stay over the 4th of July week, I found the hotel to have very nice rooms but they felt a bit outdated and not as clean as I would have liked. However, the surrounding area was wonderful, offering plenty of space to enjoy. The service was generally friendly and helpful, with the exception of a couple of new recruits. The location was great for exploring on foot, although the actual distance to the beach was different from what I was told. The dining experience, although mostly good, had some issues with uncooked pancakes. The facilities were adequate for a pleasant stay.

I was excited about the hotel's location, being right behind the elevator. The room had a balcony which sounded great until I realized it was next to a noisy elevator and an air con unit that kept me up all night. Although advertised as a Gulf view, I ended up staring at Palm trees by the pool instead.
