Hotels in Independence Square, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"The property just like any resort has lots of things to do and lots of entertainment, however, the property is outdated. The 2 elevators take forever to arrive (be prepared to wait 5-10 min at a time to get on the elevator). Taking the stairs down is always faster. The pools and hot tubs have cloudy water with lots of chlorine. Spending any time in the pool is tough due to the strong smell of chlorine. The rooms are also outdated. Have a super loud HVAC that will not let you sleep at night. The bathroom ceiling tiles rise when the AC unit kicks on, then slam down when the unit turns off. The sliding door to the balcony is hard to open and close due to the rollers not working. Same issue with the closet door. The bathroom has a gym shower and a toilet that barely flushes. Other amenities on the property are also out of date or are old and dirty. Hammocks are torn, day beds have stained pillows and mattresses, lots of trash around from previous guests. "

"We had a wonderful stay! Everything about Opal Sands was excellent! "

"The room was average - but did have a beautiful view and fun activities for the kids and family. "

"After a few days in Tampa on business, the Wyndham was a welcome change of scenery for my wife and me. We enjoyed the restaurant, and the room was clean and comfortable. The staff were warm and very accommodating throughout our stay.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"Excellent property, amazing staff super friendly. They let us do an early check in a late check out as well."

"Amazing Hotel!"

"Pros: Within walking distance to the beach Within walking distance to restaurants, gas station, and ice cream The pool is clean The mattress was okay The mini fridge worked great Cons: Outdated property Mold-like substance in the bathroom Our door handle/swipe card was not always working (took 5/6 swipes to capture the green light) and the door had to be shoved to open it The pillows are super flat, took 2 days and asking 4 people to finally get a couple more of them lol The noise…we had requested the 1st floor due to my fiancés recent joint surgery. The walls are super thin, you can hear everything outside, when we first got there maintenance walked in on us, someone tried to get into the room later in the night but thankfully I had all the extra locks in place, and I was able to play white noise loud enough from my phone to drown out some of the noise. Overall: If you like a cheaper rate and decent proximity, this is a decent stay. If you require quiet rest, peaceful surroundings, and amenities- this is not the place for you. "

"Floor was dirty. Room smelled. Water damage on doors. Had to ask for hangers. On the plus side No bugs and breakfast was satisfactory. Staff was friendly "

"Top notch !!! Excellent!!!"
