Gulfview Hotel on the Beach (Clearwater Beach, USA)

The hotel enjoys its own private slice of Clearwater Beach. Guests love the convenience of stepping right out the door and being on the beach, and most consider this one of the hotel's most attractive features.

Each room features a kitchenette area with a microwave, stovetop and refrigerator. This will be a great asset if you would rather not eat out multiple times a day during your stay.

Numerous guests complained that the hotel was too noisy for their liking. There is frequent construction around the neighborhood during the day, and the hotel's next door neighbor, Shephard's Beach Resort, is a popular nightlife destination, and so have loud music blasting into the early hours of the morning.

Reviewers suggest that the hotel is generally not very clean. Aside from the dirty floors and pool area, the most common complaint was a strong mold or mildew smell which was noted by numerous guests in several different parts of the hotel.

The hotel seems to be rather dated and is not very well-maintained. The décor is old and outdated, several guests reported maintenance issues in their rooms such as leaks and problems with the doors, and the furniture is worn and in need of replacement. Overall, the hotel is showing definite signs of age.
