“Couldn't be any better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012 via mobile

We live in the area and have seen the place for years, but had an event here, so stayed a few nites. We had a "marina view" suite, so I only speak from that. The room was great with living area, breakfast bar that seperated the kitchen area, and then bedroom off to the side. Bath was two rooms, with sink and closet, then toilet and shower.
From bedroom, sliding glass door to the walkway which served as your balcony looking out on the marina and the inter-coastal waterway. Lots of boats to watch, but no beach to walk on. If you want beach, it's about 2 to 3 blocks away, certainlty walkable. We have the beach all the time, so that was not an issue.
Huge property, 18 hole mini golf course running down the middle of the ground/first floor, restaurants, bars, inside and out two pools, one large with Tiki Bar and view of the water, one smaller, enclosed with a hot tub, a little quieter. Boat rental, bike rental, tons of activities for everyone. Places to eat "on campus," and so many reataurants in the area, including the Salt Rock Grill, which I will review next, with another five stars.
I am don't usually give 5 stars, 4 is the most if I like a place, and reserve 5 for the really special places, this is one (as is the Salt Rock Grill.) The only downside, if you want to be "on" the beach, this isn' the place. Otherwise, this is the place for a great stay.

Stayed October 2012, traveled with friends

“Vacation for relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

i wanted to go somewhere to relax. wanted to stay on the west cost of florida. Typed in Holiday inn and Harbor side showed up. I like the location. Its is near the beach. The staff was freindly and helpful as to what there was to do. Took the trolley to Clearwater beach and there was a lot to do. We took a Dolphin cruise which was amazing, and a dinner cruise. The sunset alone was worth the money. went back to the hotel. Had a little problem with the room, But the staff took care of it and moved us to a suite at no extra charge. The pool was very clean and relaxing. My cousins and i ususlly go away for New Years and this year probably coming back here. it's relaxing here and we can take the trolley to Clearwater beach and don't have to worry about parking.

“the hotel looks great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 31, 2012

our first time at this holiday inn
all looked great, room all you could need, looked clean
lots to do at the hotel places to eat and to sit , a bit of a walk to the beach and to the shops,
things went a little wrong when we went to use the shower it did not work and the plug was not working in the sink we call to the lobby and we had a workman to sort it out with in 15mins so we were happy.
the big problem was when we got up in the morning our legs were coved in flea bits we can only think that the carpet were full of fleas, when told desk staff we were told that as we had not booked with them but with a booking website they could not do any thing but if we go back they would upgrad us so do we go back not to sure
