Amazing Service and Location
Hotel is very clean and well-maintained and a short walk to the beach and many other restaurants and attractions in Clearwater. The rooftop bar is also nice to have a cocktail at the end of the night without having to even leave the hotel. We didn't end up using our car at all during our stay.
Also, everyone on staff from the valet to the front desk was exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially the hotel manager Jason who was able to help us out in securing an extra night on a busy day. We had a great stay!

Good hotel with improvement opportunities - 8/10
Great hotel, well located. Some surrounding areas are still under construction . No room service, not actually any service offered apart from valet(they force you to take valet parking and its $USD 38 per Day.
Hotel is great looking with a nice terrace with pool. Everything is beautiful and brand new. Rooms lack a bit of cozyness and mattresses are OK- not really premium quality

I want to start with the fact that our stay was right after Helene and before Milton. The staff was simply amazing! Everyone very nice and accommodating. The hotel is brand new. Interior is modern design. Very, very clean. The property is beautiful. Great pool and bar area with soft furniture. Such luxurious feeling all around. They have the Best breakfast buffet with espresso coffee, and croissants and hot breakfast options for only $ 20. I rarely have encountered nicer waitresses. Our room was super comfortable And clean. TV has streaming options and Wi-Fi is free. Housekeeping cleaned our room every day and provided us with clean towels. The hotel is situated right on Coronado Boulevard one walk from the beach literally two minutes walk. Even though it was after the hurricane the beach was nice and clean the city did an amazing job. There are many shopping and dining options around. Valley parking was the cheapest in the area only $38 night. After the hurricane, the elevators were not running, and the boys were running up and down 4 stories. Again, amazing stuff!! I never felt more pampered in my life I know this in times of hurricanes. Thank you everyone at AC Hotel!!
