The Motel needs alot of updating and a good cleaning. I don't mind a place that looks it age, but it was unclean. There was a dead bug in the lighting panels in the bathroom. Old spagetthi sauce on the walls. Not near enogh pans, dishes or cup for the kitchenette. Thank God the Arvilla Motel next door had an opening.
The pool was very murky. I think at one time the place was really cool, but it needs help now!!!

We stayed there for 4 days. Unfortunatly we had a room directly to the street.
The room itself was sticky, dirty and has to be urgently renovated, thats what we told the desk clerk. She said, it may be renovated in the future.
The kitchen was not fully equipped. A lot of dishes, cups, pots.... were missing.
So you can't cook anything, except for spaghetti or pizza in the oven (if you don't mind the dirt).
I am really not that perfect myself in house-cleaning, but if you visit Trails end, you should be aware that this is really so dirty, that (after showering) stepping over the carpet leaves your feet black. Use shoes, all time. The wall paper is also lose.And the sofa bed is not good to sleep on, its at least 20 years old. All furniture was more than only used...
Only the new renovated gulf front apartments are delightful. I had a view into one.
If you stay in this apartment, you are a lucky person. The beach is great, anyway.
You are directly on white sand beach, near to Johns pass village, so the environment is great.
Pool area was also nice and the garden was gorgious.
But remember: when booking, ask for the newer renovated gulf front rooms, then your stay can be perfect!

We arrived at about 7:00 p.m. on a Saturday to the most awful place I've ever stayed. We looked immediatly for another place. We ended up having to stay one night. We had 6 people in our group. Our bedding had not been cleaned, their was animal hair on it. As my girls were going to sleep, one sat up and asked where that strange light was coming from. It was a crack in the wall and she could see the street lights! The was an outlet hanging in place because of so many holes in the wall. Smelled of mildew, our carpet was overly wet. This is not a place to stay if you have any taste. Drink alot if you plan to stay so you won't notice the difference!
We had 4 teens with us and they all said they would rather go back home than spend their Spring Break at the Trails End. It was the "End of the Trail" for us!

We stayed at Trail's End as it was a last minute trip last week and every hotel in St Pete Beach and most in Treasure Island were booked. Compared to other TI hotels, which are almost all mom and pop-type, it was pretty decent, but it is not a luxury hotel, barely a 2 star in fact. The beach is huge and beautiful, the pool looked clean, but we didn't use it, there was a cute little courtyard, the buildings looked a little old, but in pretty good shape, the room was just OK. IT did smell very musty and didn't look that clean but we only stayed 2 nights.
We ate at the Waffle House and Sloppy Joe's and also a place called PJ's on St Pete Beach.
I don't think I would stay here again unless it was just 1 night and I was desperate.
