Hilton Clearwater Beach Hotel

2 readers found this review helpful

we stayed in the hilton beach resort and this was absolutly fantastic,the service was brilliant the cleanliness was outstanding,
our room was beautiful,perfect...we were lucky as we had a view of the beach/gulf of mexico as u stud on out balcony...i would definatly recommend this hotel..
we are also hoping to go again next year,possibly for 2wks this time as we only went for a week last time .

went here in july 2008 as part of a 2 centre hotel deal. 1 week in orlando ( international plaza resort and spa ) which was great and the 2nd week here at the hilton. Situated on the beach which we found was the best asset of the hotel. Wasnt told that had to pay 35 dollars to park for a week and found the beds were too small for 2 people. The rooms were ok for a hotel room and we did get sea view, so that was a bonus. Found the food pretty crap though. Think that this hotel is for holiday makers who are just after a relaxing holiday cos not much to do for kids.

I visited this hotel as part of a 2 centre Orlando / Clearwater.
Marriott village lake Buena vista Fantastic!
Hilton absolutely disgusting! If you are American the staff respect you, English and they ignore you!
Loads of building work that’s been going on for 1 year to update the rooms!
I am travel agent and my advice - don’t waste your money and don’t go to St Pete’s!

This was a two centre holiday and we were not given check in details for the Hilton in Clearwater (4pm) which meant that we wasted a whole day waiting around for the rooms. The rooms were not south facing as specified in the brochure and this was also very disappointing.
We were encouraged to use the Virgin Downtown Disney check in but on arrival could not find it. Once found at 1245 we were told it was closed despite the fact that it clearly stated on our documents that it closed at 1pm. Virgin check in staff were very rude and dismissive and spoiled another day of what otherwise was a fabulous holiday. Tour operators should pay a little more attention to detail which would make so much difference to holidaymakers experience.

Good location but that is all. The hotel is small, cramped and tatty. It is also very outdated. It has been renovated recently but not to a very high standard.
The staff are friendly enough but there are too few of them and the crowded poolside bar area is often awash with other people's used plates, glasses and take away food containers.
The outside is also shabby and I echo the previous review, the charge for the beach equipment is scandalous. What is the point of going to a 'beach resort?'
Jetsave staff were of no help whatsoever and initially refused any money back. Still pending......
Don't go there. Clearwater is quiet and relaxing but try another hotel.
