“Great time!!!!!”

Reviewed April 11, 2011 via mobile

We arrived on Thursday April 7, 2011 and departed Sunday April 10, 2011. Booked the Busch Gardens/ Adventure Island package. Great deal even though we only went to Busch Gardens once. The hotel room we stayed in, room 112, was ok. But we only used it to sleep in. The rest of the resort was awesome. No doubt will be... More

“Really nice place and right on the beach, heated pool, awesome staff”

Reviewed April 8, 2011

We had a great time. The entire staff was friendly. The rooms were impeccably clean. The linens on the bed and in the bath were high quality. The beach was wonderful. The hotel is located right off I-275, but we could not hear the freeway at all. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. I plan to stay here next... More

“needed a hotel in a pinch - and loved it!”

Reviewed March 30, 2011

What can I say? I didnt plan ahead. We were going to, 'play it by ear" during spring break! All the beach hotels were booked solid and I had to find somethng fast. My wife was getting steamed, my kids were getting restless. I found the Magnuson on tripAdvisor and although the location looked like it was on the freeway,... More

Sometimes when you book things last minute, it works out for the best! We are glad you and your family had a great stay with us. We have 3 kid's suites at the hotel and they are usually a big hit. We are so glad that we could help you out in a pinch. Next time you head our way... More

“The worst of the worst”

Reviewed March 28, 2011

This is one of the worst hotels I have ever been to....And I have been around the world! The price is excessive (158$ +tax) for what you get. Totally outdated....mold in the room (stinky), and dirty....found nasty hair in the tub, on the door, on the floor...It was old. The pools seemed dirty (the water was not clear)...and we even...

We all suffer when guest complaints like these come up. I will be the first to tell you that we are not perfect, no hotel is. What separates a good hotel from a bad hotel; the people that work there. We understand that this guest only had a 1 night reservation but regardless, why would you not say something during... More

This is a frequent destination for my wife and I during February and March. Our stay this year was for 9 days and this year an added bonus was the beautiful weather for the full 9 day period. Quite a change from last year when we nearly froze and actually had to use the room heat just to be comfortable.... More

This is the 3rd time staying here over a 20 year period when it has gone from being a Days Inn to a Holiday Inn and now to a Magnuson Hotel. Whilst it is in need of a bit of TLC it is still a beautiful position away from the madness of St Pete Beach. If you are lucky or... More
