Ξενοδοχεία με Indian Rocks Beach Nature Preserve, Indian Rocks Beach

We recently stayed for 2 nights at this hotel since although it was overpriced, its nightly rates were better than its competition's. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and our room was clean and spacious. Breakfast was standard fare for a Holiday Inn Express, and we appreciated the one type of fresh fruit each morning (oranges the first morning, bananas the second.) And the bed was comfortable. The worst part of the stay, and the one reason why I won't stay here again: the A/C in our room was SO loud . . . There was an A/C unit on the wall that appeared to do nothing, which led us to try the A/C unit directly under the window. It worked fine at cooling the room, but - even with ear plugs - was much too loud for us to fall asleep with. The only solution that worked was turning off the A/C completely, leading to a too-warm room halfway through the night. (Not okay with Florida's high temperatures.) So frustrating!! The location is okay; not near the things and people in Tampa Bay that we visited, and traffic in Pinellas as of late is awful. If this will be the case for you too, add some time to your calculations of when to leave to get somewhere.

We stayed here for a week for a work conference. Everything was first class- great training/conference venue. The staff and hotel were amazing- very clean, professional, and really nice but not that rich and famous feel. The people staying there were kind and welcoming at the pool, bar, beach, exercise room, etc. we would 100% stay there again- close walk to tons of places and very safe location.

While researching hotels, I visited this property a month before my arrival to make sure the accommodation would work for my purposes. At that time, I was shown a specific layout for the 1 bedroom queen beds configuration. The front desk attendant specified the description of the room that I should book when I made the reservation. I made the reservation based on their information and the room I was shown. A month later when I check in, I am given a room half the size of the one I was shown. I tell the front desk that it was not what I was told and I am unhappy with the room and I need the bigger room. The gas let me and told me that they had already given me the biggest room they had. I'm not kidding when it was literally half the size of the one I previewed. I walked the front desk attendance to the door of the room I was shown and was assured that those rooms are the same size and they couldn't be shown to me at that time because they were occupied. I had to cancel most of the event I had planned due to lack of space and lost revenue I would have earned giving a workshop to paying pupils. Complete bait and switch. Avoid this property.

First, I’m not one to complain about these kinds of things typically, but the lack of care or concern by the staff drove me to write this review. I wish I would have had access to a review like mine before I decided to book this place, so I’m hoping my review helps others going forward. First, as can be implied by what I wrote above - This place could be great, if perhaps the staff learned to be a bit more compassionate. First, upon arrival, my family was hungry. After bringing our luggage up to the room, we quickly went right back down before unpacking, only to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get seated. We asked 5, yes FIVE, different staff members to help us understand how we could get seated. None of the staff members answered our question. They each punted us over to someone else. We finally figured it out on our own (or rather, thanks to some other guests who saw us struggling and told us they had experienced the same issue earlier, so they were very kind and helped us). Unfortunately, we then waited 2 more hours to get our food delivered to the table. When it arrived, the wrong food was brought to us. It was such a disappointment, and I left with an incredible headache because I was starving. Next, the room. If you want a peaceful beach stay, this place is NOT for you. All I wanted was a peaceful break at the beach from my hectic life. Unfortunately, this place caters to weddings instead of its hotel guests. My room sounded like it was inside a dance club - and it was on the top floor! I called down to find out how long we could expect this noise to last and was laughed at, implying that at least I was on the top floor and not on a lower floor where it would be louder. This is NOT a place to come if you want a relaxing and enjoyable time. Stay away. I have extreme regret staying here! Hotel management - Guests should be warned about dance parties upon arrival and at the very least, be comped if they can’t get out of their reservation to go elsewhere. This is not fair to those of us here to spend our hard earned money and vacation days. Finally, since I always like to provide a review on the bed, here’s the info: Bed is not up to par for a Hilton. Very firm, but does have the standard Hilton sheets. So - Buyer be ware! Wish I had taken heed of the previous reviews and gone to Don Cesar instead. Note: Gave this a 2/5 instead of 1/5 simply because it really does have a great view.

great location, clean, can't wait to come back when its warmer out.
