When my family and I go on vacation we have a modest budget so we do not look for elegant places but we definately want a clean and safe place to stay. After weeks of searching for something affordable, directly on the beach & clean I found this place. The building just changed ownership and is getting a makeover and... more

The room was clean and recently renovated (except the carpet was old and there was no fan in the bathroom). Renevations were ongoing (on the lower floors) while we were there but this did not effect our stay. The staff were friendly and courteous, especially Cindy. I would rate them higher but than very good but we really did not... more

First, within five minutes of arriving a ceiling tile fell & broke on my boyfriends head in the bathroom. There is new paint but that is about it. All of the staff and several signs stated that they had newly rennovated rooms. Bull Crap! The carpet and furniture had stains & cigarette burns all over. The refrigerator & A/C worked... more

One of the more spartan rooms we've had in Clearwater Beach, the two double beds worked out perfectly for me and my teenage son. The room was clean, in good condition and sparsely furnished but we weren't in Clearwater for the room. I noted on arrival that linens were clean and the place well kept. The reception staff were great... more

We just got back home from staying the weekend, recently renovated and what a change for the better. Excellent staff, the pool and the view are awesome, great rates and most importantly very clean room. Best weekend escape ever. Clear Water Beach now has 2 permanent weekend warriors and of course we know where we'll be staying. Will recommend to... more

I just returned from an overnight at this hotel and was quite happy for the price. It must have been renovated recently. The elevator needs work but for the price you could not beat it. Beautiful view great restaurant next door. more

We apreciate the fact that our recent guests have enjoyed their stay and have witnessed a marked improvement in the physical condition of the Beachview. Regarding the elevator, a complete remodel is scheduled during the month of September. In the interim, we have taken steps to preserve the operating condition of the elevator by slowing the mechanism down thus causing...

I am normally not a picky visitor at all, but this place screamed "we are in it for the money". Where do I begin? The decor is aged, the mattresses needed a wooden board in between the mattress and baseboard. The coffeemaker in the room had a filter basket that did not fit, the elevator was old and smelly, the... more

On March 13, 2009, the Clearwater Beachview Resort was purchased by a new ownership group. On the 1st of April, renovations began on the 5th floor and we have now added the 4th floor to the schedule. We plan to finish the additional two floors over the summer months. All new carpet, wall finishes, bathroom enhancements and soft and hard...

My wife and I visit Clearwater Beach every year. We were greeted with a smile and treated very well. The room was clean, and does show some signs of aging. It's not that bad. We don't spend all our time in the room anyway, but it's a very good location. There's also a little bar called Britts right next door.... more

biltmoreeli, General Manager

The property is under new ownership and management. The property was purchased March 13th and renovations began April 1st. Overhaul of all of the rooms will be completed with the 4th and 5th floors coming back on line by mid-May, 09. The remaining rooms will be completed as we move into the summer months. Complimentary breakfast is being upgraded and...

You definately get what you pay for. If you are on a budget, this is the place, great location right on the beach. Very nice people who run the hotel, but it has definately seen better days. Our room smelled like pepperoni and sausage so we bough lysol and candles to help clear out the smell. We are two adults... more

The property was just purchased at the time this guest visited. Complete renovations of the guest units are underway. The hotel is a boutique Inn that is ideal for families and couples. The market is also open for other types of business and the Spring Break guests are also welcome. However, we do not allow loud and obnoxious behavior during...
