Caladesi Island State Park, St. Petersburg - Clearwater hotel rooms at the Independent

"The staff was wonderful and very kind. The room wasn’t bad but our tub was very slow to drain. Water would fill up past our ankles so that was annoying and kind of gross. We also couldn’t figure out where a thermostat was. There didn’t seem to be a way to control the temperature in the room."

"Great place to stay with an excellent view"

"I can’t explain how impressed we were with our stay here. I honestly was expecting a bare minimum hotel but I’ll be booking this hotel for my next trip down to Clear water. "

"Location is great. Lots of things in the area. It is right on the beach so easy walk to the water. Pool was nice. Room appeared to be pretty clean. Only issue was upon check-in. We were supposed to have a room that would sleep five and they gave us a room that only slept for so we had to go back down and get that adjusted. Also, we asked for extra blankets and they only gave us one and said that was all they had. Had to go back down the next night to get another one. I think extra blanket should be provided in condos like this. Other than that, I would stay here again."

"Amazing at every turn!"

"Everything was perfect from check-in to checkout including the service, the view, the beach access, the towel availability, cleanliness, ease of parking, access to restaurants and entertainment, the in-room comforts and kitchenette and more! This is the second time we’ve stayed here and I will definitely be back!!"

"The room was very clean and the location is a quiet neighborhood!"

"Not worth the expense "

"Loved the pool and view. The only thing we didn’t like was all the birds constantly swooping down and trying to steal food and were noisy. Our room was great with an awesome view from the 10th floor overlooking the beach and opal sol. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner was quiet which we loved. The only thing missing was a lock on the bathroom door. Also loved being able to get water and ice on each floor. "
