We stayed one night at Hampton Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach and had a fantastic experience. The staff was amazing, especially Greg at the front desk, who truly went above and beyond.
Breakfast the next morning was actually really good, and the rooftop area was a highlight. It was the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail and light appetizers while watching the sunset. We did not use the pool since it was a little chilly, but it is heated and there were plenty of people enjoying both the pool and hot tub. We wished we had brought our swimsuits to try it out.
The rooms are a bit dated, but the bed was extremely comfortable and that is what matters, the hotel was quiet, the bathroom was large and nicely updated, and we loved having a small balcony. Overall, our entire experience was awesome, and we will definitely be back the next time we are in Clearwater.

We’ve stayed at this hotel twice. Clean rooms, friendly staff, good breakfast, awesome outdoor pool and hot tub, and a beach! There’s also a restaurant at this hotel. The location is great and a short walk to anything you ma need! Great location for the New Years Eve fireworks, too! We will be back again in the near future!

We had a very pleasant and impromptu stay over the holiday. Hotel is in a great location, walkable to much of Clearwater Beach, with a wonderful beach and pool/bar area of its own. Only downside is that area can get a little loud with all the bands playing late on weekends - e.g. we were hoping to relax on the 6th floor deck, but the band was playing - but that is probably just par for the area, and not a deal breaker.

I stayed at Hampton in queen suite from December 24th to 28th with my family, including a 6-month-old baby and a 7-year-old child, and unfortunately the experience was very disappointing.
1. Housekeeping issues:
Our room was not cleaned on December 25th or 26th. I understand that the 25th was Christmas, but skipping cleaning on the 26th was unacceptable. Even after having a one-on-one conversation with the cleaning staff, our room was still skipped. After three days, we were surrounded by used towels, unchanged bedsheets, and sand all over the floor from beach visits. For a family staying in a queen suite, this was extremely poor management.
2. Manager behavior:
When we raised these concerns with the manager, Tony, his response was aggressive and unprofessional. The conversation became heated, and this happened in front of my family, which was very uncomfortable and unthoughtful. Instead of helping, he showed irritation and even asked us to change our own bedsheets. This was completely unacceptable behavior from a manager.
3. Room maintenance problems:
• The bathroom plugs near the mirror were not working, forcing us to use outlets outside the bathroom for basic needs like a hair dryer or trimmer.
• The shower head was loose and leaking, spraying water everywhere. It couldn’t be adjusted properly, and water pressure was poor. We had to deal with this broken setup for the entire 4-day stay.
4. Breakfast & food management:
Breakfast options were not vegetarian- or vegan-friendly at all. Potatoes and chicken were kept in the same hot pot, with steam and flavor mixing, making the food unsuitable for vegetarians. There were no real vegan options, except bread. Even the apples looked old and not fresh.
Overall:
Except for the view, there was nothing positive about this stay. Poor housekeeping, unprofessional management, lack of maintenance, and careless food handling made this a very frustrating experience.
I would not recommend this hotel to families, long-term stays, or vacation travelers. There was no proper management, no support, and no quality service.

Hotel was amazing.. our room was very spacious and offered great views of the private beach. We saw many glimpses of dolphins in the water, and the water itself was very clear and clean! Picked up many pretty shells along the way :) The staff were all very kind and helpful.. great service. Also recommend visiting Evy’s Terrace Bar & Bistro and Cabanas, located downstairs in the hotel and beach area! Overall really pretty location, would like to visit again :)
