Highgate Independent St. Petersburg - Clearwater hotels

"We have been coming the same week every May for ten years and the hotel is a little rough in the teeth. Paint only covers so much as carpets and flooring look old and date as does the overall decor. They could really use a good bar as what they have now is sterile. The pool area is really beat up and the restaurant is lacking. Great location but I think we will look at other options for next year.."

"Excellent place 👏"

"Staff was amazing!"

"We were in a pool front villa I did book a gulf front but the pool and gulf was a bonus my kids loved it! It was a bit busy with the restaurant close to us but it was the best to come out of my room and sit in the sun! "

"The lobby is bright and lovely. The staff is very helpful and available.This is my favorite hotel in the area.I visit St.Petersburgsl several times a year."

"We stayed in a 2 queen bed Marina view room and the hotel room itself was absolutely ginormous! So much space for multiple people and the bathroom was gorgeous. It had a light on the sink mirror which was great to get ready at! The staff came everyday to clean our rooms and the first night we were tired and asked them not to clean but we went to the front desk the next day and asked them to clean it and they did without question! The pool was amazing. Not hot not cold, just perfect for the 80-85 degree weather we had all week. There is a restaurant attached to the pool area of the hotel where you can get any drink you can think of (you have to pay). It was so great. There is a hottub as well with a waterfall in the middle and it really is hot! We got in at night and it was good. I will say towards the end of the night there were a lot of bugs and gunk in the hottub water from it being outside and stuff all day but it didn’t bother us too much. You can see the marina from the pool and it’s so fun to watch all the boats come in and out! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone and it is super close to the beach and other restaurants!"

"Yes "

"The beach bar and wait-staff was great. Rooms were decent, dated and redone. Bed was SUPER cozy and pillows were amazing. The pool area wasn't very clean, specifically the hot-tub. Access to the beach was AMAZING."

"Clearwater beach view from balcony was stunning!! Clean, modern rooms and amenities with staff always making an effort to make your stay memorable. (Lilly always went above and beyond!) Housekeeping daily and turndown service nightly was fantastic! The gym was equipped with most modern equipment, everything you need to have a fantastic workout. They have a Spa onsite as well. Restaurants onsite and room service was great. They have a wide selection of breakfast options on the menu which I appreciate. Dinner options are varied and delicious! Public beach was steps away, loungers line the beach for a fee and a free trolley out front for guests to explore other Clearwater beaches nearby. Pool chairs onsite at the Hotel are plentiful but get crowded on weekends. Cabanas are great but expect to pay $$. Valet was always friendly and helpful. My mornings drinking coffee on the balcony watching the waves on the ocean was my highlight. Weather most days was amazing! Noise can be expected at night (mainly weekends) there will be music, cars revving etc. Expect some bugs (love bugs) early May for about two weeks."
