Historical Hotels in Clearwater-St. Pete Beaches, FL

"The resort is nice however the infrastructure is showing its age. The elevators acted up with one not stopping on our floor even when floor button lit. It took two tries up and down before it opened on the ground floor and we walked up. That elevator was down for maintenance the next day. We were offered an upgrade to a beach view suite with Juliette balcony. It was a beautiful view and suite was clean and comfortable. However the sliding door to open the balcony was extremely hard to open & close with the handle very loose. We ended up not opening. Bathroom plumbing was showing age. The only deal breaker was the elevator. Otherwise it was a nice stay."

"This property is extremely deteriorated. The only positive thing about the TradeWinds is the location on the beach. The price we paid for the room quality and cleanliness makes me sick. They scam their ratings by having people leave great reviews for servers/beach attendants to counter the terrible reviews from the actual property. The rooms are disgusting: I mopped the first night because they felt nasty and the cloth I used was black from all the dirt. Kitchen amenities are lacking(no dishwasher or oven, no paper towels, minimal cooking pans). The water takes minutes to warm, sinks don’t drain, etc. After checkout, I looked over our bill and we were charged $25/night for a roll-a-way bed. Not a problem if they would have disclosed that to me when I asked for a pack n play. We definitely would have just used one of the other beds in our room that was meant for up to 10 people(we only had 5). The food was overpriced (as expected) but terribly low quality. Absolutely disappointed with this place and will never be back. "

"Nice location, room was fine. Should have a microwave in the room. Live music during the day would be nice or at least some music around the pool."
