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.
