My wife and I were in Clearwater beach for a 2 week holiday recently, and stayed at Magnuson during our visit. We can echo most of the recent reviews as that was what we experienced ourselves. Yes some of the previous reviews prior to this were uncomplimentary about the hotel, but we were of the mind that for the very... More

We certainly enjoy hearing such great comments. You are absolutely correct that somethings do need "spruced up." We are making every effort to take the steps needed to keeping improving, one step at a time. We look forward to having you back so you can see the progress we make! More

We stayed during the holiday season and had a great time. Rooms were big and cleaning staff was very courteous. Super location right across from the beach and plenty of great restaurants and shopping. Manager Dave was very friendly. More

The front desk was very helpful in answering our questions about where to eat, and what to do in the area!! My boyfriend and I had never been to Clearwater Beach, (we are from Canada) and we were impressed with the service, price of the room, and convenience of restaurants/attractions which were all walking distance from the hotel, not to...

This hotel was found on the internet with an online special. Thought we were getting a balcony room, however we didn't realize it wasn't a private balcony. Wasn't a big deal as we were hardly in the room. We watched the sunsets from the beach, which the hotel was opposite from. Very very easy access. The only complaint was the... More

When we arrived at this hotel alarm bells rang. It was very run down and dirty. The staff were not interested in us at all. The pool area was dirty and the loungers were not inviting to say the least. We were surprised the lift made it to our floor. Our room had not been properly cleaned from the previous... More

Excellent location opposite beautiful Clearwater Beach. A couple of doors from shops and restaurants. Main concentration approx 10 minute walk away, as was Pier 60. Cleaning staff were excellent and scrubbed the room every day. Good service from reception when we contacted them about the smoke detector which had started to beep as the battery had gone dead. They immediately... More

Just to help clarify this, we do not own the parking lot where the guest parked. There is no "scam" to our parking situation. The only thing that permits our guest to park where this guest parked is a parking pass that we give at check in. The company that owns the parking lot has very visible signs up all... More

Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Our breakfast selection is something that we keep simple for one reason...Cost. By having such a simple, quick, grab and go type breakfast, we keep our cost down which in return keeps our room rates down. We would love to have a larger breakfast with more choices,... More
