Home2 Suites By Hilton Clearwater St. Petersburg Ulmerton Rd

10/10 Excellent

"I love this chain of hotels - the suites make it SO much easier to travel with a family. This one in particular is close to everything, and the staff were all super professional and helpful. When we asked the lovely lady at the front desk about good local places to eat she showed me her personal photographs of the delicious food at some places - definitely above and beyond. And I love that the pool opens at dawn instead of 10am like most places - because kiddos also get up at dawn and want that pool! My experience here was all positive. Thank you! "
