“Good price, average stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Driving around Treasure Island looking for place to stay for one night and not spend a fortune is not bad if there's time. Understanding it must be an average place, that's the way I took it. The price is fair when compared to everything else in the area. The owners are nice. The place looks nice, almost picture perfect.

Although rooms was clean, it smelled like people had smoked in it (it had NO SMOKING sign in it, but it stank of cigarette smell). Bathroom was clean and nice. The bed is not the most comfortable (nothing like your own bed at home...).

Room Tip: Go smell it before committing to it, even the sheets.

“Love This Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

I took a chance this Labor day and decided to go with an old school motel in walking distance to Johns Pass. We got there and the owners were awesome, very friendly and kind. We stayed on the second floor and the place was more than what we needed. It had two full beds and a pull out couch, a fully furninshed kitchen and good size bathroom. I loved it. It was like a little family cottage. The pool was awesome and everything was well lit at night. It was soo tranquil and peacefull I did not want to leave. Much better than another corporate hotel ripping you off like most others do. I loved it and would recommend it to everyone. We will definately be back!!!!

Room Tip: Located directly across the street from beach access, a cute ice cream shop and a Circle K...and in...

“All the comforts of home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

We planned an impromptu trip to Treasure Island. I traveled with my sister, her three kids and our parents. We stopped at several motels/hotels along Gulf Blvd from Passe-Grill Beach, St. Pete Beach, Treasure Island and Madeira Beach. Everyone was completely over-priced or the rooms were quite scary!

We happened upon the Mardi Gras and we were so happy that we discovered this gem of Treasure Island! The owners were so friendly and welcoming. We needed two rooms and needed one of the rooms to be downstairs so that it would easily accommodate my father who doesn't walk very well. The owner said that it would be around an hour before my parent's room could be cleaned but if they didn't mind putting their things in the second room, we could have adjoining rooms downstairs. We were 10 steps from a beautiful pool and a 2 minute walk from the beach.

The rooms were very clean. My sister and the kids and I stayed in the efficiency room with a full kitchen and the main area contained a full size sofa, two double beds and an easy chair with ottoman. The 32" flat screen t.v. was quite nice as well.

If I'm not mistaken, we paid around $115 for both rooms (total). This was less than some nasty motels wanted for one dinky room with just one double bed.

We will definitely be back to the Mardi Gras and we plan on staying longer next time. This motel is highly recommended, family friendly and a bargain without sacrificing comfort, cleanliness or location!

We had a great time at Mardi Gras. We were there with our son and his family. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The owners were very kind and gracious to us. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.
