Holiday Inn & Suites Clearwater Beach S-Harbourside

We stay here every time we visit Indian Rocks beach and the hotel never disappoints. Beautiful location, steps from the beach with the nicest reception staff. This time they upgraded our room and gave us a super late checkout so we could enjoy the full day. Loved it. Thank you IHG.

Location is great. Just a 5 min walk to the beach. That’s the only good thing about this property. We stayed here as a family in July 2025 and had a terrible experience. Our room had a termite infestation, black mold came out of the whirlpool jets, and the room was dirty from day one (nuts under the bed, dead bugs, dust, old toy by the door). A room change was offered but we were told the termite issue was “not a problem“ so front desk suggested to stay in the room. Families also know that every room change takes a lot of time and is stressful. Why can‘t you just keep your rooms clean at first? Housekeeping was unreliable, the ceiling fan was noisy, the fridge didn’t work properly, the balcony did not close fully and worst of all: my daughter was served a yogurt at breakfast that had expired over two weeks earlier. So I‘d suggest to have a closer look at the food when ordering a child’s meal. Let photos speak for themselves. I’ve contacted IHG Guest Relations with no result yet. Hotel management does not reply either. I‘m IHG Platinum member. Until major changes happen, I strongly recommend staying elsewhere. Also don‘t let yourself get fooled by the water park pictures on the website. Water park is NOT fully included. You just get two one day-admission tickets. Even if you book for more than two people.

I liked decking walkways to room and convenient elevators to parking

The staff was wonderful, always polite and accommodating. Facilities on property was very nice, including restaurants, Bars, Mini golf, ect. Parking was hard. They have under building parking and it was hard to park there. Always full and it was so hot outside that my chapstick melted all in my cubby. When splash park closed parking was easier.

Clean, convenient, close to the beach and many restaurants and bars. Restaurant and Bar onsite. Comfortable beds.

My family and I enjoyed staying here
