Shopping tip:
Short walk from hotel
Just bring your carry-on. Anything you might need like soap, shampoo, suntan lotion etc. etc. you can purchase at the dollar store right down the street. No need to bring all that extra stuff that makes you have to check your bag at the airport.

Fantastic Getaway
We had a wonderful room and service, this was our first stay at Grand Plaza. Beach Front Views, Comfy and Clean Room, Free Parking and No Resort Fees, Wireless Internet. Every Single Staff was very kind and courteous. The Sunrise, Sunset on the Beach were just amazing. There was noise from the Bongos Resturant late nite, but also live music, and a lot of ppl coming and going,,but hey it's a hotel. We'll be back!!!

Poor customer service and rude supervisor ruined the hotel experience.
Called ahead before booking to hear more about the hotel before i booked it. Spoke to concierge who bragged about amenities that ended up being off limits due to a private party and also lied about a hotel discount. When i spoke to the supervisor about the misleading concierge she pretty much told me it wasn't her problem and was QUITE rude and snarky. The hotel itsel was nice, but the Tradewinds and Sirata are DEFINITELY more bang for your buck with much nicer staff.

Loud and old
The walls are paper thin and the hotel in general is in need of a modern upgrade. Nothing exciting. The floors have to go.

Relaxing extended weekend
This the second stay for me and my wife. We enjoyed the experience both times. The room had a great view of the gulf and the beautiful sunsets. The pool and a bar are located right on the beach. A sports bar is located within walking distance. There are other activities available, but we just wanted to relax. The only negative was the the on day when the hotel hosted six weddings (11/11/2011). Things got a bit hectic in the lobby.

Great vacation on St. Pete Beach!
We have stayed at this hotel before and absolutely love staying here as it's in a great location and right on the beach. The balcony views of the gulf and the amazing sunrise views of the bay are just the beginning of it all. There are no resort fees and parking is free. The bed was very comfy! All the staff were friendly and eager to assist us. The revolving rooftop restaurant has amazing views and is definitely worth checking out. There are restaurants, a grocery store, and liquor store within walking distance. Bongos Beach Bar had live music nightly and we could hear it from our own balcony. The bathroom is quite small but was always clean. We will definitely be back to this hotel when in the area again.

Verducci's Pizzeria is a short drive and a good place to eat. Choose take out and you've got a pizza for just over $10. Snapper's is right down the street from the hotel and is a nice place for seafood.

The food at the Grand Plaza is average. There are many restaurants within walking distance, or by trolley, that are far superior with similar prices. I recommend lunch in their revolviing restaurant for the views!!!
