Shell Key Preserve, St. Petersburg - Clearwater hotel rooms at the Red Roof Inn

"Very clean room. Comfortable bed. Bar and restaurant on site. Walking distance to downtown fun. Already trying to plan the next time we come. "

"My husband and I made the decision to spend some time to see Tampa and visit with some family after spending time in PCB. Room was clean, and cozy. I felt I was in a little condo. The beachfront view was amazing. The little kitchenette was perfect. Was surprised dishes were provided. Never used them, but will certainly keep in mind for the next trip. I loved the direct access to many things such as John's Pass. This was a first time trip to the Tampa/St Petersburg area. Did take a day trip to swim with the manatees an hour ½ away. My husband and I decided to stay one more night and enjoy the beach. Found a lot of shells. Found the beach was quieter than others we have visited. Enjoyed the hot tub as well. This was the perfect ending to our vacation. Certainly will be staying here again in the future!"

"Rooms were clean- plenty of activities "

"Excellent resort with friendly staff. Fun atmosphere at the pool. Music by the pool is quite loud."

"Our room was recently renovated and it was great. The new look is going to look amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful."

"Beach view was great. Great experience."

"We stayed here for 5 nights with our 5 month old baby for a little R&R away from the northeast. We are so happy we chose The Don. It is an interesting and beautiful historic property right on a gorgeous beach with pools and several nice spots to eat and drink on site. The place is well managed and we felt very well take care of. From day 1, what made our experience were the wonderful people who work throughout the resort. Special shoutouts to Diana, the server at The Rowe Bar who gave us helpful tips on things to check out in the area, Jackie who kept the drinks and good vibes coming at the pool, and Yven and Jeckson from the coffee and gelato bar. The housekeeping staff were all super friendly and took great care of the room everyday. Dennis and the valet and bell teams got us in and out efficiently whenever we stepped out. We were able to get into St Pete to visit the Pier area a few nights and it was a very short drive. The list of excellent people working here goes on and on. We would definitely recommend The Don and would love to come back."

"Great location! "

"We had a short but very pleasant stay at the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville. Our room had a lovely water view, and the entire property is beautifully maintained. A relaxing and enjoyable stop, would happily return."
