Hampton Inn & Suites – Clearwater

This is a pretty standard Hampton Inn. Not fancy but certainly will do the job. We stayed here with a few of my family members for a couple of nights. We had three rooms between all of us. The rooms were all fine. Clean, decently appointed and generally roomy enough. We did think the king size bed rooms were better than the rooms with two queens. The king size rooms had a couch and seemed more like a suite than a motel room.
One thing that definitely DID set this hotel apart was the front desk staff. To a person, they were hospitable, friendly and really sincerely kind. I give them a lot of credit — this hotel is bustling and they do a good job of multitasking and handling everything gracefully. I loved that the employees and manager would see us leaving for a game and then ask us upon our return who won. They seemed to really love having folks visiting who were there for Spring Training and took great pleasure in making sure we had a wonderful place to rest between games. And the housekeeping staff was really great. Very considerate and very kind.
The free breakfast in the morning is OK. But with a Starbucks in the parking lot and a Cracker Barrel across the street, there is better breakfast to be had for sure. But the hotel coffee is actually really good and was available throughout the day, not just at breakfast time.

We stayed here last night, and the guy at the front desk Marc was very nice & managed to accommodate us, as we were walk ins.
Breakfast was great! The hamptons always has a great variety of breakfast foods.
Only bad thing was that the room we got had clothing that had been left and so we had to switch rooms. Marc at the front desk however, said no problem we will move your rooms and within 10 minutes we were in a different room.
Would recommend

Little confused on the 5 stars we see in the reviews. We are Hilton members and love Hampton. This facility falls below Hilton standards. We are giving it 2 stars because our room was very nice and clean with a very comfy bed.
When you check in, No water or anything. Kinda not use to that. I guess we are spoiled with real hamptons.
Nobody with 5 star reviews MENTIONS THE AIRPORT IN THE FRONT YARD. WAIT, LOUUUUD AIRPORT. So is it us? I highly doubt it. It shakes your room when a plane takes off. Construction out front is just laughable.
Ask our desk person to please put us away from the loud airport. I’m a light sleeper. FAIL.
As you will see from my photos the views below just come as a shock. As consumers we should write honest reviews so nobody else should have a bad experience or if the place ROCKS we should stay. Maybe the people with the 5 stars stayed here when it was the early 1900 and it was just horse and buggies.
So over all the rooms are nice and clean. Beds are perfect but if you want a great night sleep and to sleep in. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE.
Finally as Hilton members we asked for a late check out since our flight was delayed. Check out is 11. I heard the girl ask the manager and she said the best they could do is 11:30. Not a biggie so we came to the ocean to relax. Just so much negativity.
If it wasnt for the hotel staff and airport this place would be pretty cool.
Can we have back our Hampton points that we used please. Lol
Just be aware the 5 star reviews dont match up to our stay and others who left when we did.

I was very impressed with this hotel. We stayed here a couple of weeks back while we were looking for an apartment. Nice rooms, great front desk staff, and overall very well run hotel. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is it’s free breakfast. It was terrible to say the least. Not only did I find a hair in my food, but the lady that worked the breakfast area was so inappropriate. She was yelling and joking loudly with other employees across the room while guests where eating, and you could tell the other staff didn’t really want to engage. She made a great hotel look bad. I’ve stayed at a lot of Hampton Inns and I always love their breakfast, love their staff, so this was a disappointing part to my stay. However it does help that there is a Starbucks in the same parking lot, right outside. Despite the breakfast mishap I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I was very disappointed with my visit this time. I have stayed at this hotel for years, things have changed…
Check in, no water or snack offered. Not very friendly and never stood up. Asking for a quiet room armed to be a major inconvenience even though it’s in my profile.
Room, clean but my issue is with their new A/​C units. These units are to small for ten room and the room never actually cooled down, ALL NIGHT!
Breakfast, the combination of CNN and music competing for my ears is anything but relaxing. Either turn on off or both but the combination of the two make me wish for a trip to Guantanamo Bay detention camp for relaxation. I’m an early riser and at 6:00 breakfast was far from ready. Oatmeal was just put out, nothing hot, maybe they will be ready at 6:15 — 6:20. Coffee dispensers had not been cleaned in days possibly weeks.
Please clean this place up for me I like the location.

A great Hampton that unfortunately is stuck in the middle of traffic construction hell. The staff was amazing, including, I can’t remember his name (I’m ate up with stupid), that gave me a quick 15 second stand up routine.
The fitness center was well equiped and breakfast in the morning was one of the better Hampton spreads.
Needless to say, due to the Ulmerton Road construction, I didn’t venture out for dinner but there looked to be plenty of place to feed your face.
Next Clearwater visit, I’ll be back.

They were great. Paul at the front desk was fabulous. I had a schedule issue and he did everything he could to accommodate me. I had a toilet problem which happens and the manager came personally to see if it was fixed. Everything was clean, everyone helpful and convenient location.

We stayed here while attending a business conference from 4÷26÷2015 to 4÷29÷2015 — great location, friendly front desk staff, and a decent breakfast that’s complimentary. Our room was nice and clean and comfortable. The only issues we had were a broken towel bar on the shower door, and we were short a bath towel each day. Other than those items, all was good and we’d definitely stay here again when we’re in the area. Plenty of free parking and lots of dining choices nearby.

Having a pleasant experience so far. It’s on par with the Hampton Inns I have stayed in. For the price it’s great. The staff is really friendly. Food is on par for what you are paying for, and complimentary.

This place is terrible!!! We found old food by our loud clanking AC unit. Got up after a restless night and NO food ready? With one person working the kitchen on a holiday weekend? And the woman who was working obviously did not want to be bothered. Never Again!

This review is for their conference room only… did not stay here but went to a local work seminar for 2 days. Hotel seemed nice and clean and hotel staff were very nice.
The one weird thing was that there is only 1 bathroom stall for men and women right outside of the conference room that holds about 40 people so our group always had a long line in between meeting breaks… sort of a bad design.
All in all… is a good hotel and got the job done for our work function.

We have stayed at this Hampton Inn a number of times, and it is always just as you’d like. The staff is friendly and efficient, the hotel is bright and clean as are the rooms, the amenities are right on target and the complimentary breakfast is perfect. A very comfortable hotel, for sure!

I enjoy staying at the Hampton Inn’s all across the country. They all have the same look and feel for the most part. That is a comfort in aspect as a traveler and you don’t want to worry about where you’ll be spending the next week.
Their complimentary breakfasts are on par for fast food. I don’t expect much here but I have noticed that it has gotten better over the years. The coffee is spot on which makes me think I’ve come to rely too much on Starbucks!
The room was nicely layer out with plenty of space. The bed was quite comfortable and the pillows didn’t feel like a sandbag. The bathroom was exceptional! Nice large shower with a clean working shower head. I really like how Hampton has upgraded the rooms.
The staff was pleasant and helpful. They expressed themselves as genuinely interested in the client, well done.

We stayed here for 3 nights because of the positive reviews. I’m not sure if any of the other reviewers have stayed at a Hampton Inn but aside from location to the airport it’s one of the worst Hampton Inns we’ve stayed at. We’ve stayed at many Hampton Inns throughout the U.S. And every single one has had very good breakfast. The breakfast here is terrible! The rooms are smaller than most HI and I was not at all impressed with the staff.

This is a solid Hampton Inn that I have stayed at once before. I was very happy after a couple of years they kept up the consistency that was already high.
Booking and check-​in were easy and staff helpful. The hotel lobby on check-​in was clean and presented well.
The room was clean, but had issues that required maintenance to visit. They quickly acted and took care of the items within minutes and another issue that needed a part for the stool next day. I was impressed.
The breakfast was extremely orderly and no horrible rush was experienced even though it was sold out. The flow with the long run, two sides and island is what pulls it off. The food is above average. The women working the area were very nice and helpful and kept things full.
We had one issue with housekeeping on getting the room ready prior to arrival in the day and communication failed badly. The staff quickly pulled it together and got the room ready in 20 minutes from notification. The hotel manager without me asking compensated the night 100%. That was very impressive and speaks to the Hilton brand highly.
There were several staff involved through the weekend that were very kind and helpful. But front desk staff person Paul shined. Paul checked up in and checked us out. He was at the desk our entire four days and never failed to say hello, or ask us how our day was.
Now, a negative for this location. For quite some time construction will be in progress in front on Ulmerton Rd. This widening is a major pain during peak traffic, so if you may want to take this in consideration.
One of the highlights is the location with all of the restaurants surrounding it. There is no way you will not find a meal in the vicinity.
Rates for the hotel are on the lower end in Clearwater vs. St. Petersburg. But again with some extra travel time due to construction it may not be worth it.

the hotel met up to all expectations. came with free breakfast. it’s decently decorated but the curtains were so ugly. it’s probably the only thing that stand out the most in the rooms because they are so ugly. if they got rid of them their rooms would be so much better off yellow walls, brown headboard with sandy yellow flower curtains… terrible. most definitely a 4 star hotel in the Clearwater St Pete area. I don’t have too much of any complaints & would not only recommend for family & friends but also will be staying here again in the near future.

Love Hamptons!
Work for me usually means have tons of paperwork flung all over the place. Thankfully, the room here was very spacious! (It came complete with a mini-​fridge and microwave.) The desk was great to work on and, when I got tired of that, I transitioned to the lap desk (which also proved to be helpful). The awesome people at the front desk even let me use their spare stapler for the night (and I was SO thankful for that!).
In order to keep me focused, I made probably 10 trips to the lobby to refill my coffee/​tea. They have a great selection, I tell ya. If Hampton coffee doesn’t cut it for ya, there’s a Starbucks across from the hotel (and a pizzeria, kinko’s). Nice location overall as it’s near restaurants, the airport and the interstate!
Also, like I mentioned in my previous review of the Dolphin Racer, pick up one of the pamphlets (located by the elevators), and check out all the coupons for area attractions!

Definitely a top notch Hampton! Great location for both Tampa airports!
Staff was great! Very engaging at the front desk!
Area seemed a little suspect, and construction was going on all over! But it wasn’t as bad on either as it appeared. I went for a late night (10.30 pm) run and it was fine. Little dark in spots, but there was a sidewalk well off the road (which is fairly busy).
Plenty of restaurants close by! And what I’d consider walkable! Ie less than ¾ mile. At least 50 within a 2 to 4 mile radius. From upscale to fast food. And a great gas/​grocery about ½ mile away.

I liked this Hampton Inn even though they were renovating the entire lobby. Our room was large for the family so plenty of space for the little one. Microwave and fridge w/​separate sink and food prep area helped. Decent pool for a few swims w/​the little one. I’m sure the renovations will look great now as the non-​renovated areas I saw looked perfectly fine to me.
Close to the airport but it is not busy so no plane noise at night.

Very clean, nice. Comfortable bed, good breakfast with real eggs.:) I wish every hotel would be the same. Has a pool but wasn’t really anything great. For this quality hotel, I would expect a bigger better pool.

Perfect situation for a business traveler.
Close proximity to St. Pete airport
Airport shuttle and 5 mile radius
At the time of this review, shops within the outer parking lot include Starbucks, Pizza and sandwich shop, and Fed Ex Office.
The room I chose included a separate kitchenette area with refrigerator and microwave.
It really does not get much better than this.
