This is a stepped-down Wyndham (with the "Garden" designation). Used to be Best Western and so it's now something between a real Wyndham and Best Western. There are upgraded features and not-so-much so. First, note that this is not on the open ocean/sea "beach" but it's rather on the channel leading from the Gulf of Mexico into the Clearwater Bay. The hotel's "beach" faces a bridge from Clearwater to St. Pete and it looks more like a lake or river beach than an ocean beach front. The hotel is fine and the bed is comfortable. I love the (fake) wood floor because I think it can be kept cleaner by the beach than carpet floor. The bar is great.

We planned our trip looking for a place with an excellent beach,great swimming and good service.We received a room with the most comfortable bead clean and well layed out .The cleaning service was excellent,the view of the beach , water and dolphins was wonderfull.the service that we received in the restaurant,patio bar and on the beach were excellent.Our stay was enhanced by the exceptional service given by two of the most pleasant,helpfull and cheerfull serving attendants which we would like them to be named.
Jose Barrios and his brother what a team.

great room, recently renovated it was everything my husband and i needed for the week. Bed was very comfortable, TV ok, beach front room on 6th floor is the way to go. Saw dolphins everyday in the water fron our balcony the beach was great, clean and soft. Nice beach chair are for rent by the day a bit expensive so I beached it on the towel or by the pool. Also no outside beverages can be consumed on their beach so if you are trying to save money you need to scoot over to the beach beyond the rocks. great shower never ending hot water, food was really good for breakfast , lunch and dinner. The housekeeping staff (Amanda) really was great room was emaculate each time we returned from the beach.Really everything went beyond our expectations. We will be back!

We stayed here during a bike trip around Florida. Clearwater was one of picks to stay so we could visit Winter the Dolphin. I don't have much to say that was good about this place. When I reserved the room I booked a King Harbor room that boasted a view of the harbor and the city. After we got our room keys we proceeded upstairs to a room on the backside of the hotel with a view of the street and the city. No harbor anywhere in site so I assumed they had made a mistake and we immediately went back down to the front desk. The guy at the front desk said that was the King Harbor room and there was no mistake. He said that was a common occurrence that people thought they actually had a view of some water but for another $20 we could get a beach view room. He told us he was explaining that all the time to irate guests that also booked the King Harbor room expecting a view of a harbor! What a joke. We begrudgingly spent the $20 to get the view we had expected. The room was run down and outdated. They don't even have flat panel televisions just old Television sets with very limited channels. The view was pleasant.
The food at the restaurant on site is good but overpriced and they automatically add an 18% gratuity but make no mention of that anywhere the the unsuspecting diner. When we checked in we were given a coupon for $6 two dinner entree's but when we tried to use that we were told that we had ordered sandwiches which were not part of the dinner menu thus we could not use the coupon.
The beach has no chairs. Well no chair that don't cost something. They have wooden loungers with cushions and an umbrella they call cabana's that you can rent for $25 a day or you can sit your butt in the sand all day.
We will definitely not be visiting here again. Everything we did seemed to have some kind of scam attached to it.
