St. Petersburg - Clearwater, Florida hotel rooms at the Independent

"Place was under construction. Its going to be really beautiful when done. The pool area was being retiled and torn up. The rooms were new and modern. But the attention to finishing details was questionable. For instance the toilet seat was not screwed down. There was no microwave, phone, iron, or sitting chair in the room. The TV did not work. We could not check any of the cables cause it was built into a wall. We did get the front desk person to fix it. Was super quiet and very clean. Id stay there again in about 8 months when its completed."

"Always an amazing experience!! Will definitely come back"

"Good location. On the bay side. Breakfast good but service very slow. They have a very small kitchen behind the bar area. Could only make 1 maybe 2 plates at a time. 45 minutes wait until served. Parking is $35 every night. They did allow me to plug in my EV. 110v Staff was great. "

"Clean room. Great location. Friendly staff."

"Beach view was perfect and staff was fabulous"

"Room was clean and nice view. Great restaurants. Great access to beach. However, the wheelchair to access beach needed repair and there was only one elevator working. Overall greatly recommended."

"GOOD ENOUGH WE WILL COME BACK OUR PRIMARY HOME IS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY. WE ENJOY QUICK VISITS TO RELAX. DOES THE DON CESAR EVER OFFER FL RESIDENT DEALS WHETHER INOR OUT OF SEASON THANKS"

"Room had food and womens hair scrunchies on the floor. Needed a better cleaning and vacuuming. Limited view was air conditioning units!"

"It was okay. Resort fees provided nothing we would use. On top of resort fees, you must pay for parking, and pay to reserve/use the cabanas. Our last day, the maids didn't even service our room. And the one night we ordered room service, it was kind of a nightmare...once we got the food, it was not good. All that aside, it is an older resort, that is maintained in pretty good shape. Great launching pad to explore Tampa and surrounding beaches."
