We've been to Clearwater a few times as a family. Usually we stay at another popular hotel but I decided to give AC Hotel a try this time. Last time we were in Clearwater AC was under construction. We were pleasantly surprised. The building was very clean. We saw cleaners and housekeeping a lot and they do a great job. Everyday our room was restocked with clean towels and beds were made. The young gentlemen at the front desk was very kind and helpful with check in. I only have two critiques. First, valet parking is expensive, it should be optional. Secondly, the beds weren't very comfortable. The mattresses were very firm and the pillows had no shape and no support. Location was very convenient, right in the middle of Clearwater and 1 block from the beach. We enjoyed out stay here and would gladly stay again.

Nice hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. We booked two queen beds for 6 days but were told upon arrival that they did not have two queens available for our first night. They did comp us a free breakfast the next morning for our inconvenience. Breakfast is not free but it is top notch! I also like that there is an on site restaurant ..

Room was clean and spacious, beds very comfortable, huge comfy pillows. There’s a nice long bench the length of the wall that greatly assists with managing suitcases; plenty of space for 3 people. It was nice to have Starbucks coffee and water available in the lobby at all times. Nice view from window. Excellent location across the street from the beach. Staff were friendly and very responsive to our requests. Blow dryer was broken, but was quickly replaced with a brand new one. Only downside was the heating/cooling system was a bit noisy at night, so bring earplugs if a light sleeper.

The room didn’t have enough storage places to put our cloths. The shower was awful and not enough places to hang towels especially since you need to reuse them.

The hotel was clean, modern and very comfortable. The staff was great, but the valet parking situation was a bit confusing as I was originally told it was valet parking only, then later told I could have parked my car myself for a lower daily fee. If the parking fees could be made clearer, this would be greatly appreciated.

We stayed at the AC Hotel after an awful experience at the motel (disguised as a hotel on their online listing) across the street and MAN was it a breath of fresh air! We checked in on a Sunday. The nice young man at reception was so kind and even upgraded us to a room with a view. I think his name as Elijah. The first day we were there, we noticed the TV remote didn’t work. We let them know at the reception on the way out and they had it replaced by the time we got back. The staff were friendly, the rooms were clean, the toiletries were Korres and smelled amazing! The shower water pressure was great and the views were refreshing. I rated this 4 stars because there were a few minor issues that I feel guilty even mentioning because we really did enjoy our stay and appreciated the hospitality. I’m hoping my review gets in the right hands to get these little hiccups handled. When we noticed the remote was not working, we tried to call the front desk from the phone in our room and it didn’t work. There was an extension listed on the phone for the front desk, but it just went to a busy signal. Later in the day, my husband ran up to the room to grab something while I stayed in the car with our sleeping toddler and I noticed that he left his phone in the car. I tried to call the hotel in order to ring the room and there wasn’t an option to get ahold of reception (or the hotel at all. Only a reservation line). I did notice on the automated message said this was a “brand new” hotel, s
