Magnuson Hotel Clearwater Central

Over priced, checked out at 7 A. M No breakfast, no Coffee, it wasn’t even set up! I guess with the time change was the issue, excellent WiFi! The reason for the high price, baseball spring training!

First, the room we paid for was $ 72 which is what we got. You get what you pay for. Right now as I type this review there are little red ants crawling up the wall. The desk clerk charged us for someone else’s room when we checked in even though our room was pre-​paid. The Management fixed it all in the morning. Everyone is pleasant. The pool looks nice and after a delicious breakfast of biscuits and sausage gravy and waffles (no fruit ?) we sat at the pool with coffee and orange juice. The TV and fridge are new. The shower is old and had sulfuric smell. A/​c works fine but the stairs and exterior are shabby there’s a couple bud light cans laying on the ground but in other areas it obvious that they are working on improving the facility. First night wifi didn’t work. Power went out tonight when we were watching TV. it is definitely a hit or miss affair. But it is cheap & I will be returning

Very clean place. Breakfast in the morning included. Free WIFI on site, even works pool side.

The Magnuson was probably the best deal we found on
. They have several discounted rates, AAA, AARP, and also military and corporate discounts as well. I was able to book online and had no problems upon arrival. The rates were reasonable.
The lobby was elegant and contemporary and the desk clerk, Dillon, was helpful and efficient, and, if I may add. American, so no communication barrier.
The hotel is pet friendly, with vending machines in the lobby and a decent pool area, although, it’s the middle of January so unfortunately I can’t really provide a review on that.
I will say in general the hotel felt safe, was well lit, gorgeous landscaping, and free parking.
The room itself was clean and inviting with its own personal safe, hair dryer, ironing board, microwave and fridge. Only thing that I would like to see that wasn’t provided was a coffee maker in the room, however, the hotel does offer complimentary coffee in the lobby as well as a free continental breakfast.
For an extra $ 30 you can stay til 5pm before checking out.
Hope this review helps. I tried to include answers to questions I would have
Blessings

I booked it thinking it was a different location. It was $ 54 a day so I was not expecting much. The rooms where clean, staff was friendly, the neighborhood and there guest where a little sketchy. I felt like I got my money’s worth. It’s close to a small diner and the phillies spring training.

Super clean location. Conveniently located especially for baseball season. Comfortable beds. Great place for the price.

My guess is that I am the first reviewer is because people have read the other review websites and decided to (I will from now on) steer clear of this dump. Truly the ugliest hotel/​motel room I have ever seen. I thought I was on an episode of hotel rescue. The room had white Kitchen style 12 inch square tile. There was a dorm fridge in the corner like is left behind by some frat kid during spring break. The TV was easily 20 years old and the ground were dark and more than a little sketchy, with some young men wandering around the parking lot. It’s cheap, real cheap but don’t get sucked in. It’s bad real bad!
