Quality Inn & Suites St. Petersburg – Clearwater Airport

Worst hotel experience in my life warning warning warning out of all the quality Inn to go to this is not the want to go to staff here is horrible rooms are horrible unless you like to sleep on the street with the garbage this is your place

This place is a good deal, much better than the other low end motels in the area. The location is very convenient for PIE, in fact one drawback is that if you’re a light sleeper, you’ll be woken up by the planes taking off literally just overhead. This aging motel is kept clean with a good housekeeping staff, the front desk people are nice and competent. I wouldn’t bother with the free breakfast since there’s good Cuban food not far away in any direction, but the free house coffee is adequate and regularly brewed fresh. If you’re planning on spending any time in your motel, well spend some more money and stay somewhere else, but if you’re just going to sleep and spend the day out and about, consider this place to save money. It’s also a good choice for the night before a morning flight out of PIE.

If you want to be around drug, human trafficking and a lot of illegal activity by all means stay here… if you’re looking for a travel destination great experience this is not the place to be!!!

I didn’t see any cockroaches. There, that’s the only nice thing I can think of for this hotel. Oh wait, when I looked under the bed, I was surprised not to find a dirty condom too. That was a welcomed relief! Note: that doesn’t mean that there WEREN’T any cockroaches or dirty condoms — just that I didn’t see any.
Had family in town and thought we’d spend the weekend at the beach. Needing beds for 10 of us, we didn’t want to break the bank so we went with the cheapest hotel we could find. In hindsight, I wish I would’ve robbed a bank and paid for a better place instead. I’m pretty sure I would be getting better accommodations in the local correctional facility than what we got here.
It’s funny how some hotels will throw a sheet of granite on the countertop and buy a cheap LCD screen TV and think it will cause you to look past everything else that is wrong with the room.
The safety latch/​lock on the door was loose and did little to ensure peace of mind for our safety. Walls had holes in them, rips in wall paper, paint peeling off metal door frames, faded and mismatched paint around the room, the walls were dirty, the chair and sofas had stains and cigarette burns on them. The tile around the baseboard in the bathroom had dried and hardened grout spread across the entire front of them where somebody half-​assed a tile job and didn’t even bother to wipe up the extra grout when they were done. There must have been cabinet doors under the bathroom sink but instead a ¾″ piece of painted plywood covered it up now. I’m assuming pictures were once on the walls based on the mismatched frame hangers and faded paint on the wall. I can’t help but wonder what would have been worse to look at: the dirty ugly paint-​faded wall or whatever ungodly choice of art they likely had hanging there at one point. We were in a non-​smoking room. But based on the stale cigarette smell in there, it was either recently converted from a smoking room, or the «non smoking» status was more of a suggestion or a request than a promise.
The sheets were dirty and had stains on them. There were never enough towels… I could go on, but I think you get the gist.
And don’t even get me started on the noise from the airport — which is right next door. «Don’t worry, they stop running planes at 10pm,» the guy at the front desk told us. But he didn’t tell us that we wouldn’t need an alarm clock because the sheer force of the engines rumbling would shake us out of bed in the morning.
The free continental breakfast takes place inside a converted guest room that is far too small for the number of tables they manage to squeeze in there. Just entering feels like you’re showing up to an underground poker club in Jersey — and that’s before you even see the food.
The pool and hot tub had garbage and other things (likely feces, in all honesty) floating in them. After my wife’s uncle spent the better part of an hour skimming crap out of the water with the net that’s likely never been used, we decided that if we had so little value for our own lives that we were actually going to stay here rather than change reservations and go someplace else, whatever was in this water was probably going to be the least of our concerns compared to the hell that awaited us in our rooms.
If you’re looking for a sketchy hotel next to an airport so you can live some weird movie fantasy for hiding out from the law — or if you really are hiding out from the law and you want the last place anyone would assume you’d willingly go – then this is the hotel for you.
It’s cheap, and now we know why. I can’t wait to go back next weekend and see if I can find any hypodermic needles…

Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Lights didn’t work, roaches were everywhere, stains on the sheets… I could go on. Just stay away. This place is hell on earth. The cherry on top was dealing with the manager on duty. She was so rude and completely unhelpful. Hopefully this place is demolished soon.

Had to walk around a bucket catching water from the ceiling in order to check in. Pool area was dirty and cigarette butts were everywhere. Room didn’t get as cool as I prefer, mold everywhere especially the closet, mini fridge was warm, and the tub leaked and was dirty.
Bed was comfortable.

Saw a mouse in my room. They were going to switch me to another room and when i went up to inspect it, I found mouse droppings all over the night stand and bed. I decided to check out instead. The night auditor refunded me for that night but i saw that it was charged back the next day. Manager told me they don’t usually give refunds for stuff like that. Eventually i had to get a refund through Choice Hotels.

If you’re thinking about staying here, then I ask you to spend a few more bucks and stay somewhere else. The place is not fit to be listed on sites with reputable hotels. Real sh*t hole here. Where do I start? Really rude front desk staff («Joe,» in particular). A room full of cockroaches and other bugs. Dried urine on the toilet seats. So, obviously the rooms aren’t cleaned properly in between bookings. No wonder you’ve got bugs.
