When we arrived the person that was suppose to be working at the front desk had gone to the "store" and wouldn't be back for 30 min. So one of her friends who were hanging out by the pool called her on the phone so that we could talk to her while she was shopping. She told us that the room that was showing available on orbitz.com was not actually available and that for 20 dollars extra we could have a different room. Then said we could go look at the room and if we liked it then we could move our stuff in and she'll meet us later when she's done shopping. Before we got to the room you walk into a gated (I wouldn't even go that far)pool area. The pool was dirty had a green foggy tint to it. Across the pool was a lounge area where residents or I think was friends were relaxing in the shade. Most of the "residents" looked homeless looking. No teeth, no shirts. They were most likely passing around "left handed cigarettes". The room was on the second floor. The room had no towels, the leaky ac unit was taped to the wall, there were pieces of wood holding the windows closed, everything looked dirty, bugs in the window seal, nothing matched. We should of ran out the door right then but we just got out of the car from driving a couple hours and didn't want to get back into the car. So we just grabbed our groceries and headed up to the room to make a sandwich. Mid through eating a sandwich on a napkin(because all two of the plates were dirty) I realized WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE?!? I actually put the rest of my sandwich in my pocket gathered my groceries from the fridge and ran out the door being sure not to make any eye contact with the crack heads lounging by the pool. Got into my car and never looked back.

I stay at 3 hotel chains a month for my job, and had a few days to kill in Clearwater, so rented a room at the Traveler Motel in Clearwater Beach. This was by far the most disgusting room I have ever seen. First off, the A/C unit was really old and duck taped to the wall. It was loud and not efficient. The bathroom had no ac at all, and the shower window was stuck in the "open" position, making the bathroom hot and muggy. The 2 "queen beds" covered in archaic blankets which were full of lint. I was really grossed out when I saw a couple of long hairs on my sheet, which was really dirty. Pillows were old and flat. Couch was stained and dirty. Although the owner said the "wifi" was malfunctioning the day I was there, after reading other reviews, it appears that there is never any working wifi, so don't count on any internet connection. Outside the room, there was a table with an ever present ashtray filled with ciggie butts. I had my tv on at around midnight, and suddenly there was a loud knock on my door and a drunk, angry, disheveled guest staying upstairs was in my face about hearing my tv through the ceiling, which apparently is very thin because it was at a normal volume level in my room. Worst of all, the morning of check out, as I was getting ready to leave and at 10:20 am, the owner pounded on my door and angrily told me that check out was at 10 am, not the usual 11 am. As this was news to me, I hurried to get ready, and 20 minutes later, she was pounding on my door again, and not in a nice way.
What with the cranky, downright hostile owner, dirty sheets, barely working ac and no wifi to name a few, the Traveler Motel was my worst hotel experience to date.

I book this hotel on the web and when we got there it was better than expected! Nice people running the place and a whole new remodeled room and needles to say its in the middle of it all. We would go back any time.

We just returned from our trip to clearwater there were 4 of us my daughter , her husband their 6 year old son and myself. the owner couldn't have been nicer the rates were extreamly reasonable, the pool is very well kept, they provide a grill a screen house and yard for your use. the 2 bedroom apt we stayed in was very clean it is an older building and could use updating but they are working on it. it is not the Hilton but niether is the price!! we will definately go back and are really looking forward to it the motel is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. there are several restruants and stores surrounding it and a marina accros the street it is about a 7 minute walk to pier 60 we enjoyed our stay.
