Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the Wyndham Grand. Staff are very friendly and we managed to get a complimentary upgrade to a gulf view room. Parking and the resort fee are extra. Cabanas on the beach are owned by the city and an extra charge. Be prepared to be asked to join a time share presentation which we declined. We will return in the future."

Sirata St. Pete Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Service at Rum Runners was very spotty. Sometimes good (mornings and early afternoons), sometimes very poor (evenings). It's the only bar/restaurant open on the property in November so they need to improve this. Plenty of staff but wait times were astronomical for food...we ordered and 90 minutes later it still wasn't there. Not an exaggeration, and waitstaff was indifferent. Drinks also took huge amounts of time to get to tables. Rum Runners screams for an onsite manager."

Sailport Waterfront Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our room had a wonderful view, we felt surrounded by the Bay. The 2 room suite had the minimal items we needed. It was a bit dated but clean, and the beds were very comfortable with great linens. The pool and restaurant were added bonuses. The food was great and prices were very reasonable. The front desk kept in communication with us. I would definitely recommend if you need a place between the beaches and downtown Tampa with great views."

Pelican Pointe Clearwater Beach Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location and value! 3 minute walking distance to the beach as well as cafes, resturants, bars and shops. Anything we needed we had easy access to. The heated pool was a plus since pools in October tend to be cold. Clean and spacious rooms also with a kitchenette. I took off a star because the housekeeper barged in on me and my partner without knocking which actually was very scary at first. Then, she yelled at us because we didn't have the Do Not Disturb sign on... but it was very early and she didn't even knock before making her way in. It's common courtesy to knock regardless if a sign is up and clearly the shower was running. Also, on the first day I requested a late check out as our flight was not until 6pm and she told me that I can let her know again the day before which made me think I could get the late checkout. Then, when I went down to confirm, I was met with another staff member who told me they couldn't do that but her tone was very rude about it and threw her coworker under the bus and said she's not a manager so she is not auhorized to do anything. Maybe other people asked and she was sick of it? Not sure but it's fine if a hotel can't do late check out as they technically don't have to, just be consistent with the communication and tone is very important when speaking. Despite those 2 things, I still think the hotel itself was great."
