Sunrise Resort South

If you have realistic expectations, you will be happy here. I wasn't expecting a polished hotel, and it wasn't. However, it is close to the beach, includes free parking, was clean, has microwave & mini fridge, and the man that checked me in was very pleasant. It is very easy to walk to a variety of restaurants. If you are a Starbucks fan, it is across the street. A couple bars of soap are provided, but no shampoo conditioner. There is a mini coffee pot and a packet of coffee, but no cup or sweeter/creamer. The television was a good size for the room with clear channels. The bed was comfortable. The floors are laminate planks which are great for a hotel close to the beach. The negatives: The windows are very thin so it is loud with traffic sounds and people until late at night. The blinds do not block out the streetlights so you won't be sleeping in darkness. I would rather have 2 top sheets than a blanket/bed covering that I don't know if it is washed each time. While it wasn't an issue for me, the doorway to the bathroom was narrow so a big person might not like it. Another thing that wasn't an issue for me because I am short is the low showerhead, but an average height man would need to duck down to wash their hair.

This motel is truly a hidden gem! You are a short walk to the beach and across the street from Starbucks. There is a breakfast restaurant on the same block called the boxer. I highly recommend their breakfast skillet. Raj has great people skills very friendly and accommodating. I greatly appreciate him. He was always available if I had questions or needed assistance. TV worked fine. Noise levels were minimal bed was comfortable and the room was clean housekeeping is very friendly. I found an affordable place to stay when I visit Clearwater and now I plan on coming monthly love the fact that parking is included for a prime area you can’t ask for more.i felt safe and welcome. Highly recommend.

The man at the front desk was very nice. The pool that is advertised is not usable. The rooms are run down. There are blinds without curtains so light shines through making sleep difficult. There was only one washcloth available. The location is perfect. You are close to restaurants, shops, and the beach/pier.

If all you are needing is a place to crash for sleep, then you might be able to get by here. But forget about it if you are expecting to spend any time in your room or on the grounds. There is no swimming pool. That is simply false advertising. It is broken and has been for years. The room is more of a shrine for mold spores than a place to rest.

Horrible experience. A person who identified himself as "Roger" insisted I pay for additional parking despite having booked 3 rooms for 12 people, and this policy not being anywhere online. he asked for $50 for the additional spots and would only accept cash. After pointing me to an ATM that did not function, I returned and insisted I pay card, after a long verbal argument with Roger I was able to get him to accept the card. Before paying, I asked why this policy wasn't online, he simply pointed to a piece of paper taped to the desk. I looked at the paper, and it said the price for the extra cars should be $40, so I demanded I pay that instead of $50. This whole process was incredibly scammy, and I truly believe the clerk was simply going to pocket the cash had I not put up a fight. This was an insane process to simply check in and park my cars.
