Pelican Pointe Condo Motel

I and my daughter were there from April 12 – 17 2015 in Room 418 on the fourth floor in the right hand corner in the farthest back-​behind the elevator portion of the hotel-​NOT near any balcony next to a storage closet with toxic chemicals. No Gulf view was to be seen or enjoyed by us! The maid did not clean ANYthing — a pizza box we got on Wed. night from the Diner next door was left for three days until we checked out. The bathroom sink was NEVER cleaned, the trash was not taken out and the floor was NOT cleaned once in the room or the bathroom– NOT even swept! The dishes were not washed/​cleaned in the sink after the 1^st day. No vacuuming was done. The maid did not change the sheets at all on the daybed next to the window that my daughter slept on. Not once. The personnel at the desk in the Lobby were nice on Sunday when we checked in. But someone threw away my daughter’s Starbucks plastic cup and NO one took any responsibility nor seemed to care at the front desk when they were informed of the problem. They did have beach towels for the pool — but strangely, when it came time to check out — we only had three– not the four that we had returned to the room with! All in all, cheap is cheap. And, that’s what we got. The noise factor was bad, too. The Wi-​Fi never worked either.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Very clean, you can tell the management is too-​notch and everyone on staff takes great pride in their job. We loved our post-​wedding hideaway there. We’ll be life-​long patrons. LOVED IT!

Stopped in on a drive past last minute for Mother’s Day weekend. Was pleasantly surprised. The rate was comparable to the rest of the beach, free parking and was able to walk to the Pier, boat area and back with no problems. The room was clean and colorful. Loved the little kitchenette area and my daughter had a blast at the pool. We were on 4^th floor and although it seems a big high rise type of building was going up across the street, was still able to see the Gulf from our room. Unfortunately the high rises are hurting these smaller locations by ruining the views. We may be back later this week. Our original check in date was 5÷8÷15 only for 1 night. Staff was helpful and kind.

I love this place! Yes, the maid service isn’t great and neither is the internet, but otherwise, it is right across from the beach and great beach living! Some of the people staying here are a little questionable that is in any condo hotel on the beach. It is a great place.

I saw the unfavorable reviews but we were last minute and this fit our budget and needs (two adjoining rooms for us and 4 kids). I was pleasantly surprised at the quaintness of this beach hotel. It was charming and comfortable, no signs of bugs and nothing terribly gross was evident. Was it brand spanking new and free of dirt/​problems? No. But it was nice, very close to the beach, came with free parking and no signs of bugs. Yes, a crowd of younger people were there to party but I think if you’re staying on the beach, you have to expect that somewhat. All in all, a great stay!

Prefect location and great room! Good size rooms and very comfortable. Super clean and smells amazing. Two min walk to Clearwater beach and many many great food places.

This hotel was great and affordable. Sure there was some construction right in front of the hotel but the beach is a short walk in front of that. It was also a close walk from a couple restaurants which we happened to eat at one night. We were on the second floor and the only slightly annoying thing was there’s no ice machine on that floor so we kept going back and forth on the elevator to get some but it’s free so why complain? There was no freezer but there was a mini fridge, microwave, sink, dishes, and even a coffee maker. The room was decorated cute and had a beach theme to it so I liked that. The bathroom was really clean. The pool wasn’t too big but it’s heated. I saw reviews on here complaining about bugs but our room was bug free. So if you wanna request a room go with 221, it has one king bed and also a futon that folds out. You can’t get much better than this hotel for this price and where it’s located. There are so many fun things to do that are just a walk away. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. My boyfriend and I had a great weekend here!

Price is right and location is great. Staff is friendly and rooms are great for price. Room was nice and clean, and comes with a mini refrigerator and microwave. Location is great to the beach and good restaurants and shops. Everything is in walking distance. If I come back to the area I would stay again.

The Pelican Pointe is right across from the beautiful Clearwater beach and in walking distance of many great restaurants and shops. My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week in February. We had a great experience! It was very quiet and the standard queen suite was spacious and nicely decorated. We both agreed it was better than staying in a standard hotel room because it had a kitchenette and lots of space. It’s a great deal for the price and I would definitely stay here again. We stayed on the top (fourth) floor which I highly recommend. All of the staff we encountered was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was cleaned well everyday.

Came to the area for business, stayed at Pelican Pointe based on price and prior Unilocal reviews. There were some kids partying in the room next to me, not really a big deal or unexpected for the area but the noise transference between the rooms was horrible. I could hear everything they were doing and saying. I get it, I’ve been there too having a good time on vacation. I figure I’ll just see if the hotel management can help me come up with a solution.
I asked to switch rooms and there were none others available. No problem, I’ll just check out early and relocate to a different hotel. The front desk woman called the manager who refused to refund my last 2 nights in the hotel because the noisy neighbors were «checking out tomorrow» and I could have the security guard go deal with the problem when he got on shift at 11pm. Very poor customer service, I was unable to use my room for anything really that day, and ended up checking out early anyways without the refund.

We stayed here for our birthdays. I’ll start off positive. great location!
Now negative… Ewwww old run down dirty rooms! I opened kitchenette window and a bum was living below in between building! Kids who weren’t staying there were by the pool late like a frat party. One passed out by the pool! We called finally at 1 am to ask security to get rid of the noise… Not happy!
If your young and want something cheep this is it!

So I was really expecting a lot of this place based on what was in the web site. It stated they where just recently renovated. I would hate to see what they where like before because this place is basically motel 6. The room door is totally jacked up we can see light and feel the wind through it not to mention the security latch broke off in my husbands hand. There is a paper towel shoved into the ceiling to fill a hole, we had to ask house keeping to restock the sugar every day cause they only left us 4 packets each day. The ottoman had sharpie writing on it stated which room it went to. It’s written on the upholstery of the ottoman. Our ocean view is currently blocked by the under construction condos across the street which is all noise 7 am to 5 pm. There is a shampoo and conditioner dispenser in the shower instead of individual single use bottles and single wrapped soaps. I know we are here during the off season but that should not matter on the condition of the rooms. The furniture was chipped and showed signs of wear but that what happens with white furniture. They still had the price tag on the art hanging on the walls. Bed was comfortable and clean towels where always fresh. I think if I where to come back to Clearwater I would honestly look else where. It’s a great place if your just using it to sleep.

My husband and I stayed for 2 days (08÷28÷14, and 08÷29÷14) so we could get some beach time in at the end of a business trip. VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!! Hubby got there first and the text I got was, «The room is freaking awesome!» And it was!
Large, clean room. Comfortable bed. Kitchenette. Pleasant décor. There was a hair dryer and iron/​ironing board. I would suggest bringing your own bath soap because the shampoo/​conditioner and soap are in dispensers (which is great when you have long hair) but the soap dispenser is on the mirror so you have to get out to get it on your washcloth.
The pool is clean and they provide clean towels and pool noodles/​toys.
The hotel is across the street from a beautiful, clean beach and we were able to walk anywhere we needed to go. I would definitely stay here any time and would recommend it to anyone else as well.

Great value! Rooms are spacious and comfortable, staff is very friendly, beach is right across the street.

Excellent value! We stayed here four nights in December and it was less than $ 80 per night plus taxes. Location is half a block south of the south end of the beach walk. So it is half a block south and across the street from the beach. Close enough to walk to the beach with small kids.
It was apparently renovated a couple of years ago and they seem to have done a very solid job. Nice new TV and AC. I was also impressed by the fact that there seemed to be a maintenance staff constantly working to keep things clean around the pool area. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful too. Good, free Wi-​Fi too!
I would definitely come back here on my next visit to Clearwater Beach!

We stayed at this motel for our Memorial Week vacation. I was very hesitant about booking at Pelican Pointe because in MN our outdoor motels are usually very sketchy. That was not the case here, we were pleasantly surprised by the size and cleanliness of the room (don’t be fooled by some of those TripAdvisor reviews!). We shared the room with another couple who slept on the futon and said it was actually quite comfortable (granted we are in our twenties, this might have been different if we were a little older). The room also had a kitchenette which included a small fridge, sink and microwave. This was great because we stocked up at a local liquor store for booze and snacks to try to save $$. The location of the property is absolutely perfect, right across from the beach and very close to restaurant and shopping areas. The noise level was a bit higher than normal due to holiday weekend, but that was to be expected and it quieted down by midweek. My only complaint about this hotel is their continental breakfast. I hate to complain about this stuff because it is free after all, but the coffee was absolutely undrinkable and the pastries were like the ones you would buy at a sams club or costco. Good thing there is a breakfast place a few doors down! We still had a great time and would probably come back!

This is a nice hotel, nice enough for us to opt to stay more than one night. It is an older 1960’s 4-​story hotel that is kept up well. Clean, fresh coat of paint, and very colorful in the FL pastel scheme of things. The pool was very nice, it has a handicap lift in the shallow end, and was actually 8 ft in the deep end. Our room had a decent view of the Gulf of Mexico, and it was nice to sit on the balcony and watch the sunsets. Room price was ok @ $ 75/​night + (all those stinking Florida tourist taxes), and added up to about $ 94 total for a week day, and $ 85+ ($ 104 total) on the weekend in January. Not too bad. Staff was helpful every time we needed something. It is also a condo association, as are most hotels in FL, and you can buy a room and stay for 28 days a year. Free wi-​fi, but it is an old hotel, so the outlets are scarce and they are too far from the door to use a laptop out on the balcony while plugged in. Nice newer large flat screen TV is mounted on the wall, which projects the sound nicely into the next room unfortunately as we found out our third night there with neighbors who kept it on and loud until we called the desk about it after midnight. All in all a nice place to stay with or without kids. The beach is right across the street, and they provide you with beach chairs if needed. Good shelling in the mornings on the beach.

Stayed here a year ago before I had Unilocal.Planning another weekend stay in Clearwater Beach this month. Going to be booking our stay at Pelican Pointe again.
Cute beachy décor in the rooms. kitchenette, small living area with dining table. Flat screen mounted tv in room. Across the street from the beach, short walk to as club with Tiki bar right on the water. Outdoor pool situated so that every room has a view of the pool and the ocean. Two thumbs up. No complaints!
