My husband and I wanted to spend one night in Clearwater Beach but not spend a fortune. My husband loves to fish so when we saw that they had a private fishing dock we thought we'd look into it further. We looked on line for rates since we didn't want to spend more than$100. The rate was $80 for a Saturday night stay. The location was great. We wanted to be able to park free, walk to the beach and walk to Frenchy's. This was the perfect place to do all that. I read the reviews and found more negatives than positives.

I felt like we stayed in a different place than the negative reviewers because we stayed in Room 111 which the front desk woman said was the nicest, most updated room they had. She was right! She let us check in early since we arrived much earlier than 2:00 but the room was ready and that was great for us! The decor of the room was contemporary and modern. The kitchen was BRAND NEW. It had all full sized appliances which we didn't use while we were there but we will when we return for a longer stay. It had new wooden blinds which were nice and kept the room dark and cool while we were out for the day.

The bathroom was also brand new and CLEAN! I am not a fussy hotel person but I do need clean and this place was very clean. All new tile floors so you didn't have to worry about dirty carpeting as is often the case in hotels. Large room, even had a full size dining table. Again, something I will use in a future trip.

The pool was maybe a little cloudy and had sand on the floor but was overall clean and we spent a great deal of time in there. Many of the rooms (not ours) opened on two sides, one to the pool and one to the fishing dock. First we wanted one of those but decided to take the updated room instead.

I will definitely return to this place again and will ask for room 111. I didn't see the other rooms but this one was great!!!!!

I have stayed at the Tropical Breeze Resort many, many times over the last 25 years. Alas, the property has not been maintained and updated. It has been a couple of years since I was there last. The furniture has been beaten up (drawers didn't work well on dresser, there were chunks out of the dresser facing), the television was red on one side of the screen and green on the other (hard to watch), the shower didn't work initially and the tub was stopped up (problem was resolved), the handle that opens the microwave was broken off, one set of curtains was about to fall off the window, and we had to have the keys to the room re-keyed several times since they would not work properly. When we arrived, the air conditioning had not been turned on, so the room was quite warm. The refrigerator was not on either, so it took awhile to cool down and begin making ice. Towels were not replaced and the beds were not made on the second day of our stay. We had to go ask for more towels (which were given).

The property is about 2 blocks from the beach and of course the price is much less than a beach front property, but basic things need to be addressed to make this property more appealing for repeat business.

This "resort" (ha! - that cracks me up!) is on a whole street of small motels that are a flashback to another time - a time when neon lights proudly announced "T.V. and telephones in every room!" I can appreciate the motel's antique charm. After all, this is the type of place that my family, and so many millions of others, stayed in while on family vacations. In fact, I think I saw some old relatives there - leathery older women chain smoking by the pool.

But, I guess my standards have changed since the 70s.

Bathroom - Tile and tub were recently resurfaced, making it look clean and ultra-white, but the plaster was peeling off the walls like crazy. And the towels were my main complaint with this place. They were Holiday Inn rejects (literally - had HI tags still on them); so old they were paper thin and generally discolored. Please, of all the things to skimp on, bath towels is not one!!!
Sheets - must have come from the same place as the towels. Mine actually had a hole in it.
TV - it worked but the sound was all wacky, making it hard to understand what people were saying. Could clearly hear what people above us were saying though - those walls are thin.
A/C - actually, this is more about the upstairs A/C. When they turned theirs on, it dripped condensation on our A/C unit, making a loud "THUMP" in our room. It was 10 PM when it first happened and luckily two workers were still in the office. I asked them to help out with the problem and they were clearly frustrated with having to deal with that at such a late hour. But they were nice about it and put a pot with a towel in it on top of our A/C to muffle the noise.
"Free Internet" - yea, it's free, but it's not strong enough to get a signal in the room. Don't plan on actually using it here.

Overall, it wasn't a horrible stay, but I'd choose somewhere else next time, for sure.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights before going to our timeshare in Kissimmee but should have paid the extra money for the nicer resort. We had a "recently remodeled" room, but I would hate to see what their regular rooms are like. The plaster was coming off the walls in the bathroom and we had to take lukewarm showers for 3 days. We spend most of our time walking around Clearwater Beach but when we were in the room the upstairs neighbors seemed to be having races or at least that is what it sounded like. The TV was a little 19" when we did want to stay in the room and the bed gave us back pains, it rolled you to the center and was very uncomfortable. I wouldn't have swam in the pool as it looked like there was as much sand in it as there is in the ocean.
We would have dealt with all this but the night/weekend manager that lives on site was very rude. The light was out in the ceiling fan which she was no help with and I even offered to change it. On the day we checked out we needed ice and when we asked she rolled her eyes as if we were asking for the winning lottery numbers. About an hour later we tried to check out and she was back in her room. It was 9:30 am with check out at 10 so we asked the cleaning lady were she was. She went and got here and when she came out of her room she yelled across the parking lot "what do you want". When we said we need to check out she threw up here arms and finally made it down to the office. When she got down to us she said all we had to do was leave the keys in the room. When I asked what time the office opened (since it said 8:30 AM on the sign) she replied with "they change the hours" but never did say what time. We gave here the keys and left.

Clearwater Beach is a great place to visit, just avoid this place. Make sure to visit one of the Frenchys locations, we liked the one on the beach north of Pier 60 (Rockaway beach?). Also Blackwaters at Sand Key and Jimmy's Fish house are great places to eat.
