Book the king room/appt with sofa for best bay view sunrises, shoutout for Isabel for that. We mentioned a note to put the room away from the nearby bar and made sure it went through. There was construction happening in the lobby which was pretty loud in the day and surprised us the day of our arrival, and it was super busy in the pool and did not seem as hyenic- maybe cause it was the last week before school starts so the hotel seemed pretty booked. Glad we were put on the fifth floor because we did not hear anything. Prepare to wake up early for the great views and breakfast to avoid crowds after8-8:30 am. Cleanliness was ok, bathroom was spacious, sofa was a bit dated and needed some deep cleaning, roll out bed was not comfortable so best option was to sleep on the sofa for a third traveler, kitchen was convenient (I'd recommend using Uber Eats to get a supermarket delivery or Instacart etc on your first day.. as Surf style gets pretty expensive on groceries). Location is convenient and just across the street from the beach and the trolly so that's one of the main reasons we went for this hotel. Gym is good, a bit small, but we didn't have the time to use it in our stay!

My family stayed at this hotel for about a week and we ran into a few cleaning issues. After traveling all day, we opened our hotel door and went around to the couch to notice that there two food stains on the floor by the couch. We also noticed that there was a dead spider on the counter next to the sink. We also noticed a few other cleaning issues as well within the room. We could tell that this room had not been properly cleaned so went down stairs to the front desk and the clerk told us that she will take care of the issue, but instead of coming the next day to clean, Housekeeping arrive after we have been there two days to clean. The crazy part is housekeeping only made up our bed vacuumed, but did not clean the toilet or the shower. The only reason they came to clean our room is because we had to go back to the front desk ask again. We did enjoy We did enjoy that the room that we stayed in was a studio with a full-size refrigerator With two burners which we did not use. The rooms are very spacious, But they are starting to show some wear and tear. For example, some of the furniture had chips on it and the ceiling had fingerprints on it. The hallway leading to the room had a smell that it was not pleasant. The first time we came to our room, but we got used to it There for a week. Some of the cons with the room that we stayed in where that there is a A bar right next to the hotel that has a live band that faces the hotel room so they played all the way up until 12 AM. Also The air-conditioning in the room sounds like a car engine running idle so that took Some getting used to as well As it was right next to the bed. The pros to staying at this hotel or that it’s close to the beach. They offer a complementary breakfast. The breakfast is mostly carb so be ready for waffles and pastries. They do offer some meats, which are switched out each day ( ham and sausage No bacon). They have an awesome coffee machines as well. The staff at the front desk as well in the cafe were very friendly. Overall, I recommend staying at this hotel if you don’t care about having room service come clean your room. My family personally will not be staying here again as you could tell that This hotel doesn’t pay attention to the small things. Not all Marriotts are built the same. We were offered Some points for unpleasant stay at this hotel.

Good location, but the same issues we had from 2 years ago have not been rectified. Hide-a-bed coach in our room was bent and horrible. Holes in carpets around the property, some emergency lights in horrible condition. Pool was cloudy. Front desk people overwhelmed or simply not paying attention. Not what I expect from a Residence Inn. Plus, as a Gold Elite member, I get late check out. They would not agree to extend it. I'm a Marriott fan, but I'd never stay at this property again. There are numerous other choices in the area from other brands.

I want to give a huge shout out to Chad, and Riely our valet. There is a woman in the afternoons I didnt catch her name!!! They have been great an very helpful with directions, recommending places to go. Also getting our car so quickly!! This is our first time to Clearwater. We had a blast!! The hotel is great, perfect location. We hope to be back soon!!! Thank you everyone!!!

Stayed at this location several times and this week was beyond great. They gave us the 1 special suite with the party patio, loved it. Isabel at the front desk was amazing, I would come back just on her personality and positive attitude! Thx Residence team for a great stay.

The front desk staff were always helpful. The location was perfect, valet, pool and breakfast was always good. We only ever saw one cart for luggage our whole stay. With valet we could go back and forth to our car and had a lot of luggage and groceries that were carried by hand the whole time. Laundry was $5 a load even though they are labeled $3.50, only one washer worked. Bookers beware the bar plays music until 2am. Any room with an odd number will face the bar. We talked to other guests in the hall that shared their lack of sleep as well. The hotel smelled like weed significantly throughout our whole stay. Especially the hall to our first and second room. We started off in a suite which was perfect for our family of 5. There was no sleeping our first night due to the music from the bar. Thankfully we were moved to a one bedroom across the hall the next day. When I brought up the concern for having 5 people and a room that only sleeps 4 I was told… well you asked for this. There was no suggested remediation for where the 5th person was going to sleep. I requested a roll away, the one bedroom was tight for 5 people but not being next to the music was the main concern. My kids are 8, 12, and 14. The 8 year old had to sleep with us in the king bed, the couch bed would not fit two kids easily. After moving earlier in the day we went to go to bed to find beetles in our bed, NOT bed bugs. We were moved once again. There was no concern from the front desk for finding bugs in the bed at 9:30 at night, or the inconvenience of packing up kids and moving them once again, yes I was thankful for an open room but it just seemed like they brushed it off. We were thankful that the one bedroom had a balcony to give some separation for the kids when they needed space in the small room. We saw a manatee from our balcony too. We truly loved the location but would not stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Residence Inn in Clearwater. The location was fabulous with the bay on the back side of the property and the beach just a short walk across the street either through the surf shop or just past the Hyatt hotel. Pier 60 is within 10 minutes easy walking distance. We stayed in the one bedroom suite with two queen beds. It was comfortable and spacious. Lots of storage space. The full size fridge was great as we stored bottled drinks and snacks in there and used the icemaker. The valet service was very convenient and prompt. There are two negative issues. The first is the loud music playing at Coco’s bar next to the hotel at night. The music is good but you just have to be prepared to hear it all night. We actually had a nice sit down lunch at Coco’s Bar. Service was good there. We called and ordered pizza and wings from King’s Pizza that we took to the beach. The other negative is their way of overbooking the hotel. My brother had a reservation for Saturday check in. He booked directly through Marriott. On Friday afternoon he got an email from “lodging dynamics” stating that there is some issue with his credit card and to contact them before 7 pm to discuss or else they will cancel the booking. First of all, they gave him less than three hours notice to reply to this message. Secondly, my brother was at a theme park in Orlando at the time so isn’t going to read this email in time. Thirdly, he wouldn’t be inclined to read an email from Lodging dynamics because it sounds like pfishing or a scam (since it was not from a Mariott official email account). When we finally talking to the front desk later on Friday night about the reservation for Saturday, then said HIS RESERVATION WAS CANCELED AND THEY CANT HELP HIM. They purposely found a way to cancel his reservation because they were overbooked. They had no rooms of any type available for him. Calling the front desk or Mariott’s corporate didn’t help. The next morning I went to the front desk and was told by the manager that they were overbooked by nine rooms. THAT ISNT OUT FAULT. WE BOOKED IN ADVANCE AND RHE METHOD OF PAYMENT IS GOOD. I didn’t accept NO for an answer and just stood there and waited. Finally the manager agreed to reactivate my brother’s reservation and he was able to check in that day as planned. He didn’t complain that they put him in a room with one King bed even though he booked a room with two queen beds for his family of four. He was just happy to get a room. I think Marriott needs to do better and not allow the overbooking to happen. Lastly, I like that they let you check out as many pool towels as needed. I think they should have a shelf near the front desk where you can grab it. Else sometimes you have to stand in line waiting for a front desk employee to be free to go grab a towel from the back. This happens during peak check in hours. Overall, I like the convenient location of the hotel, the spacious rooms, the prompt valet, and fast elevators. Main dislike is the loud noise from the bar and the issue with the canceled reservation.

As we are coming to the end of our over 10 days stay here at this place, we are looking forward to our next year to coming back. This palace had delivered everything it promises and more at every level. The amazing location, the wonderful front desk staff, the amazing breakfast spread and staff, not to mention the housekeeping staff. And to top it all off, the Valet parking staff are extra special and professional.

Great vacation spot . Short walk to the beach. The pool faces the bay(not the gulf) I have a king suite facing the bay. We slept with the door open. It was quiet ( other hotels had bar noise complaints in the reviews). The suite had a full kitchen that I do not know when booking the room including pots, glasses and plates. Full size fridge, microwave, burner and dishwasher. Terrace had two chairs and a small table. I did not open the sofa bed. I would visit again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay from beginning to end. The hotel is beautifully maintained, and our suite was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The area is incredibly cozy, and the overall atmosphere felt modern, relaxing, and welcoming. Every team member we encountered was friendly and professional, making the experience even more enjoyable. The property is clean, well cared for, and truly feels like a place where guests are valued. A special thank you to John G. in valet, as he went above and beyond with his kindness and professionalism. He made every arrival and departure smooth and stress-free, and his warm attitude really stood out. We’re already looking forward to our next stay!
