• The lobby staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was better than expected.
• Our room was humid and smelled like mildew.

“I don't know if all rooms were bad, but our room was not very comfortable. It was clean, but the sheets were worn out and the humid air made it uncomfortable.”

• Great location, next to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Lots to do!

• Size of pool area and size of room. The view!
• Hated the food. Cost way to much for poor quality!

“Loved everything about the resort except the food. Great room, great view. Liked the inside and outside bars. Great service. Horrible food. They should have payed us to eat it. Payed $50 for me and my wife for dinner. Ive eaten better at Burger king of $4!”

• Location both on the beach and near restaurants.
• Extras were extras and not included. Phone, parking, beech Cabana.

“Great value , great location, great rooms. Only the fact that the cost of phone calls, even without connections, parking, beach chairs, were pricey and unexpected. Still overall value was great.”

• Nice hotel and close to the beach! Great for families.
• The food at the resort was kind of expensive.

“The hotel was in a great location and easy to find. We loved the 3 pools, swingset on the beach and hammocks. The large fridge and stove in the room was nice to have.”

• Right on the beach!
• The cabanas were way over-priced. $15/day is outrageous.

“The staff was very welcoming and attentive. Only stayed for 1 night and next day. Food in the Compass Restaurant was very good. But the cabanas on the beach were priced at $15/day. Outrageous! We laid out on beach towels for free.”

• Good location.
• I did not like my room.

“The room was in dire need of updating. I had no window and the resort charged me a $25 resort fee which included amenities that I did not have time to even use. The location was great but I felt like this hotel was over priced and stuck in the 90's.”

• Beach and bar by the pool - great restaurant.
• Actually nothing - it was great.

“A friend and I decided to drive 10 hours just to be able to sit on the sand for one day. I had been to this area before but had heard of this hotel. It was great and I would definitely return. There was nothing that I would change about it. Weather was great - room was roomy and clean and food at outside bar was delicious along with great music. The beach was excellent! Wish we could have stayed longer! We will return!”

• Close to beach.
• Some of the rooms need to be refurbished. Having to pay for parking, and cabana's on the beach, way to expensive. Not worth $15 a day.

“This hotel is close to the beach and is a good value for the dollar. Some rooms need new bathroom fixtures, we stayed on Aug 28 and 29, room was comfortable but there is better there. We stayed on Sept 3rd and had a kitchenette with a balcony and fantastic view of the gulf. The bathroom was a lot bigger and the fixtures were a lot newer. I will definitely stay again.”

• Great location in the heart of St. Pete Beach, directly on beach.
• Dirty, small, room that needs updating beyond the decor.

“$8 parking fee. Great location and the older public area have been updated. The rooms decor has been updated, but they need to be remodeled. Beyond that we found the bathroom in disrepair and dirty. Very strong offensive smell in the room.”

• I felt terrible.
• Hotel was dirty. I even took pictures. Maybe it was a good one but right now seems deteriorated.

“As soon as we got in the room we realized the floor of the bathroom was stinky full of mold and dew. I told the manager next morning and she said she would take care of it. Honestly it remained the same. Please find a way to ask some of your hotels to assign clean rooms to your customers. Same thing happened to us at the Wyndham of international drive in Orlando. If so let us know so next time we look for a hotel room we can make a better decision not using your services.”

• When we complained they changed our room.
• I was locked in bathroom 15 minutes in 1st room and roaches and smell.

“They are gutting the building where we 1st stayed it was awful and unless you complained you weren't moved to another room. You even smelled like the room. I was locked in the bathroom for 15 minutes and couldn't get out until someone came back into the room. Roaches broken AC etc. We were moved to a nice room as soon as we complained.”

• Nothing.
• Layout was confusing.

“We arrived after dark. The complex consists of a number of buildings. It took us 20 minutes to locate our room, because the persons giving us directions failed to tell us there were different banks of elevators. We had to walk past a bar where there were several loud drunken women. They charged us $8.00 to park out car.”

• Charging for parking.

“Restaurant was great where we stayed. The room looked like a fancy motel room converted. The charge to park was 8.00 I think that is a bit crazy. We overlooked the parking lot, unable to see the water.”

• I was only there for one night, but the front desk person upgraded me to a beach front room with no extra charge and gave me a late checkout.
• The restaurant we had lunch in did not have very good food and was overpriced.

“Beautiful property, nice room, great location right on the beach with three pools. Good service. I will stay there again.”

• The resort was perfect for a beach weekend. Clean and comfortable.
• The bathroom was a bit small, but it did not ruin the room!

“Hotel was clean and comfortable. Very close to wonderful dining! Make sure you try the Bistro (in plaza with big steak restaurant) kind of across the street. Also there was an O Bistro up the road about ten minutes that had fabulous breakfast. The Compass Grille (right in the resort) was perfect with unique twists on meals. We will be returning!”

• We really liked the excellent location on the beach, as well as the 3 pools.
• The air vents in our suite were so dirty and caked with dust. They could be accessed easily, so we can't understand why they wouldn't be cleaned.

“The Sirata's location on the beach, the 3 pools and the beach bars with music made this resort great. We found the 2 different queen suites that we stayed in to be quite comfortable, though the suite in building 4 was older and it wasn't as clean as our room in building 1. We would have loved a coffee bar of some type. We definitely would return.”

• You were charged for anything that was extra, using the business center for internet, playing pool.

“The hotel was situated right on the Gulf. It was wonderful to walk right on to the sandy beach from the pool area. The food wasn't as good as I have had at Clearwater Beach, but the view made up for it.”

• The hotel has several buildings and pools, so one does not feel crowded.
• The bathroom was not updated.

“The Sirata is a great beach resort in a wonderful location, St. Petersburg. It is family friendly, yet large enough that one does not feel crowded. The rooms are nicely furnished and a small refrigerator is provided. It is centrally located and convenient to shopping and restaurants. I enjoyed my stay.”

• The parking and elevator was on the other side of our building. The bathroom fan didn't work.

“This was my second stay. Our girl's week was a very pleasant success. We spent a very relaxing week primarily on the beach in our cabana. Meals and refreshments were readily available both on the beach and in the resort restaurant. Other restaurants, a grocery store, shops and other attractions such as the Pier were conveniently close by. I can't wait to go back!”

• Location, pools.
• Extra daily fees, misfit sheets, slow response for new sheets.

“The Sirata is located in a beautiful, water-front spot with spacious rooms. They upgraded my room for a minimal charge. However, they charged $8 per day for parking and daily fees for use of beach chairs, etc. Also, at 11:45 pm. We discovered that the sheets did not fit one of the beds. It took 3 phone calls and 45 minutes to get the right sheets (which we had to put on ourselves).”

• Beach access, bars.
• Rooms awful.

“The resort reminded me of a hotel built in 1982 (or earlier) that did not want to upgrade so they can simply make money. The room smelled terrible, the chairs were filthy, the AC was dirty and the sliding glass door would not open. Come on put a little of the profits into updating your accommodations. The pool and the view were nice and of course access to the beach but I can get that at any resort. I'm looking elsewhere the next time I come to St. Pete.”
