“Location is great! Hotel is decent. Worth a try....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
8
people found this review helpful

All in all, a decent first visit to Clearwater Beach. I would certainly return, and if you go….make sure that you have a meal at Frenchy’s….a Clearwater Beach classic!

The Hilton Clearwater Beach is a decent hotel. I travel a lot for business and pleasure and have pretty high expectations with lodging properties. On a scale of 1-10, the property is a solid 7-8….which means it should satisfy 90% of the travelers out there. If you are looking for a premium hotel, it will probably disappoint. But in the end, the location and value should satisfy most of your needs.

The property is clean, fairly modern and I would consider it a slightly “above average’ resort property. Think older property, built years ago, that has been renovated to the point that most guests will be happy staying there. Plus, the hotel is right in the middle “of it all”…the location is perfect…

Rooms are decent “business class” rooms, average size, well appointed and all have a mini fridge and balcony. The room bathroom is very modern and the pool complex is decent and will satisfy 90% of travelers.

Best of all, the hotel is one of the few, if not only hotels on Clearwater Beach that is literally “on the beach”, and the Hilton CB has its’ own private beach with food and drink service. This is nice because you can rent chairs, umbrellas and/or cabanas from the hotel that are literally steps away. This was really nice; pricy, but nice.

If you are looking for a decent hotel, right on the beach, I can’t see why Hilton Clearwater wouldn’t meet your needs. You may pay a little more for being on the beach, but it is worth it. Give it a try next time you are in Clearwater Beach!

Room Tip: Try to get a room with an ocean view.

“nice weekend location- stay away from street side rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We recently stayed in this hotel from Jan 19-22 2012. Our room was small but neat and had a great little fridge which was a nice surpirse. The room was situated on the 7th floor which gave a great view of the harbour but it also looked out onto the main street which resulted in 3 night of little sleep. The rooms are paper thin and we could hear everything going in the hotel. After our first night we didn't have our room attended to until after 2:30 after which point I gave up and put up the do not disturb sign. The next day we had early service. The beach location is great and you can walk everywhere and feel very safe. During our 2nd day a large tent was being constructed on the beach which was very noisy and frustrating when your trying to have a relaxing holiday.Overall the hotel was clean and bedbug free! Great location but stay away from the hotel restaurant as its very expensive.. Try out the Palm Pavillion restaurant for great food!

Room Tip: ask for any room that doesn't face the street. High floors have the best view

“Stay here if location if your #1 concern”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

This is possibly the best location on the entire beach - Crabby Bills is across the street, you are literally right on the white sand beach, marina is only a block or two walk, and Pier 60 is also only a block or two away. This hotel wins hands down for location.

However, if location isn't your top priority then you will be paying a lot ($250ish/nite) for a very dated, somewhat dirty hotel. I was taking a bath and thinking of how the bathroom really needed updating and a thorough cleaning...eew.

For us, we would stay here again because the location was that perfect, my husband walked to his fishing charter in the morning and I walked to the beach, and in the evenings we walked to dinner. Anytime I can park the rental car I am all for it :)

The location of the Hilton Clearwater Beach Hotel is right on the beach. This was our second time to this hotel and will go back again. The staff goes above and beyond, the rooms are updated and the beds comfortable. The towels were even soft and they offered real beach towels for the pool and beach. We had a balcony and spent some quality time watching the views and relaxing. I can highly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Choose one with a balcony and partial ocean view or full ocean view.
