This is a very unique property with an old Florida vibe that distinguishes it from the surrounding properties. The exterior has a charming art deco design. We stayed in a larger one bedroom corner unit that was spacious & comfortable. 2 Tv's with cable . Living /dining room. A well equipped kitchen. Lots of fluffy towels. The bed sheets were super soft &:smooth. A nice easy access heated pool, towels provided & right across from Clearwater Beach! The staff are incredible and very accommodating. Thanks to Kim, Jackie & Tony for helping make our stay most memorable. Highly recommend!

Not what I expected
The suites are individually owned and ours was not well maintained, and the silverware was not fit to be used when we arrived. The TV was unreliable and the system froze every day. The on site staff did their best to sort this out but I would not recommend this place

We stayed here for 4 nights this fall, as we were attending a music festival nearby. Great location, close to the beach and several restaurants, and a lot quieter than other properties to the south. this was our first visit to Clearwater, and we're already planning our return visit next year, in large part because of our great stay at the Camelot. We needed to extend our stay by one night, and they easily accomodated our request.

The walk to the beach is about 3 minutes straight down the street to the beach entrance walks right past a very good restaurant right on the beach. Beach chair and umbrella rental is right on the beach here. Hotel has beach chairs you can borrow; if you wanna buy a cheap travel sun umbrella you can save on that rental everyday you are there. I bought a couple of good umbrellas for cheap on ebay.. peir 60 is a 2 minute drive; good fishing and has bait shop with pole rentals and restroom along with other gifts and conveniences for sale. You can also buy frozen bait at Publix nearby(open at 7am). Nice fuel station right across from resort; has food,lotto, little section of pain relievers and condoms, wide selection of snacks and beverages, bag ice etc.. really nice convenient fuel station. Need to get to pier between 8 and 9 am for best parking also has swimming and beach stuff rentals(twice the cost of the rentals that are located on the beach across from the resort)

Great place to stay, clean and quiet. Christie is awesome. She makes you feel like family. Short walk to the sand and convenient to good food and shopping. Pool is always clean but that pool guy has the personality of a brick wall. Bathrooms are small but it is an older building and it is very well kept so it is what it is. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Robert. Camelot prides ourselves on providing one of the best travel values on Clearwater Beach. Our advantage comes from having mini-granite countertop kitchens in all our hotel rooms and Suites. Add this to one of the best central locations on the beach... within walking distance to almost everything of value and Camelot becomes one of the Best Value buys on Clearwater Beach.

Awesome stay!
My daughter and I were traveling for a beach volleyball tournament and booked a little late. I normally wouldn't choose a "motel" (we're scaredy cats about outside rooms) but there weren't many options left. So we very hesitantly booked Camelot Suites. And we're so glad we did! It was super cute and quaint, very clean, had everything we could possibly need and Vickie was amazing. She was beyond helpful and friendly and for that alone we wouldn't hesitate to stay again, the other great things are just bonuses!

Thank you for your review. We apologize that you had a negative experience and would have loved to address any issues immediately had they been brought to our attention. We actually asked you prior to your departure how everything was and if you needed anything and we were told all was well, so we are bit confused. We have inspected the room you stayed in and found no issues. Sheets sometimes have spots from sun tan oil or cosmetics used by guests and we do our very best to sort out any linens that are worn or stained. We take utmost pride in our customer service and we always strive to create a wonderful experience for our guests.

Yes we all agree...Vickie is wonderful. She cares about our guests and it shows in how special she makes you feel when you book a stay with us. As far as public bathrooms...At Camelot, you are no farther than 50 feet from your own private bathroom in your room....and although our office is small, Vickie makes it work for getting you all checked in quickly. We find our Camelot guests don't mind the extra frills and it is reflected in our daily room prices that offer a modern kitchenette in every room and savings that has Camelot rated as one of the best value small properties on popular Clearwater Beach.

My daughters and I came down to see some family in the Tampa area. They want to go back yearly now due to the great time we had at the Camelot Suites and in Clearwater. Just north of the main area, the location provides easy access to the beach without all of the crowds. The Palm Pavilion Inn is only one block away with amazing food and service. We will be back again next year!

This place was grossly misrepresented by Expedia and Camelot's website. Don't be fooled by the photo. What was billed as a "resort" was nothing more than a motel. The manager we met was initially hard to find as there was no internal office but rather what was more like a kiosk. We were given a key and the manager Vicky told us there was no maid service, and no pets allowed. Their website told the opposite. Other guests had dogs, we couldn't bring ours. Internet was horrible, ultra slow. TV was internet driven are required 2 remotes to get any channels. Kitchen area was greasy/nasty, we had to clean. Cell phone reception was impossible the first day, as if the signal was jammed, and after it finally appeared, the signal was weak. The bathroom was tiny and smelled like urine the whole time. Dust all thru the room (wife is allergic to dust). Coffee pot was not clean. There was an older gentleman, who worked the weekend in a helping, custodial role, I think Hispanic looking who was very pleasant, approached us by the pool, smiled asked if we needed anything. Pool was clean, not heated. Motel was not full by any means. Close to the beach though, which was nice. I will not stay there again, nor will I recommend to anyone who is looking to have a pleasant place to stay and sleep. Way too pricey!! If we thought it was possible we would ask for a refund.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you did not enjoy your visit. The room you stayed in was a studio with two double beds which you requested through Expedia. We are pet friendly but not all rooms are pet friendly and you did not request a pet friendly room when you booked with Expedia nor did you arrive with a pet so we are confused by your comments. We wish you had brought any issues to our attention or to our staff who greeted you and asked you at the pool if you needed anything. We pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service and a clean well appointed room as other reviews attest to. We have not experienced any issues with internet or telephone service but would have certainly tried to help you had we known you were having a problem. Again, thank you for your review, we will certainly address your specific concerns.

Staff contacted me by phone to tell me where keys are or were, but stayed overtime to check me in. Place was clean, properly stocked with coffee, etc.. No complaints - It's an older building a block from the beach and public access to it, each unit is a condo and individually owned so there's no cookie cutter room! Staff changed my room to more desirable (for me) based on availability when i arrived - Expedia listed only a certain type on the site. Would go back, for sure.

The room was filthy! The bed was full of sand. There is no staff on duty past 4:00, so there was no one to complain about the sandy beds to. The linens and towels were so old they actually smelled. The old brown bath towels looked like something you would wash a car with. Tbe drain in my shower was broken, we had to shower with sandals on. We only received 4 towels, and when asked for more they said they would not give any more out. And you have to take your own trash to the Dumpster when you leave. My room also stunk like cigarettes from people smoking directly outside my door. Run far from this dump. It looks nothing like the pictures and you will feel dirty the whole to time you are there!

Thank you for your review. We wish you would have told us of any of these issues during the three days you were here. We were not made aware of any of the problems you state above except your request for more towels. We were happy to give you more towels as you asked for but we needed to exchange them for your used ones. We knocked on your door to exchange them but you had left without exchanging your used towels for fresh ones. We do not require you to take your trash to the dumpster, we simply let you know where it is located if you would like to empty it. We are sorry that you were not pleased with our property. We take great pride in providing excellent accommodations, customer service and quaint setting at affordable prices.
