This hotel is perfectly located for beach access. Food, shopping, Pier 60, and the docks were all within walking distance of the hotel. The hotel was clean, had a very friendly staff and had all kinds of flyers to let you know what you can do in Clearwater. We stayed in a bayview room our first 2 nights, which was... More

I was very skeptical about the hotel because of the reviews but decided to give it a chance. The day of check in the rooms werent ready until... More

This place was very reasonably priced considering it's neighbours! Hyatt and Hilton. The Elevator scared me a little and it had that old motel feel. But I was Very impressed with the size of the room, the partial kitchen, And 'THE VIEW'. It is right by the causeway and came in under $160. All others seemed to be around the... More

We reserved a pool side room next door to the friends we were meeting up with. We made the reservation weeks in advance on the phone, followed up by an email from the hotel confirming it all. However when we checked in they had given our room away - we arrived at 4 pm. They were rude saying, "You can... More

We also stayed over Easter weekend, and had very much the same experience as Wisconsin Hartland. The Beachview Inn is all about location and value. The property itself is older and gets hard use. Efforts to maintain and renovate are noticeable, appreciated and partially successful. Our group of friends gets together annually at various locations. Beachview worked well for us... More

We just returned from staying 3 nights here over Easter week. Based on recent reviews I might have hestitated coming here, but I booked this back in December and reviews were favorable. I can understand some of the negative reviews, however I think it comes down to expectations. This hotel/motel is dated. However to say it was filthy? I don't... More

We got a room here just for a night while waiting for a flight, and it was meh. The room was bigger than I'd expected, but the bathroom was too small to even walk in and out of. The staff was very rude and difficult - they made us pay for extra towels, then didn't give us any because they... More
