During our vacation in Kissimmee we decided to go to Clearwater Beach for the night. We were torn between a few hotels and chose the Gulfview and were very happy we did! Mario at the front desk provided us with great customer service, was very patient and accommodating. He went above and beyond to make our stay a great one 🌞 Congrats Mario & fiance on your impending bundle of joy in Feb!!! Bill and Joyce were very nice as well. The bed was comfortable and we loved our balcony view. The pool and hot tub as well as private beach were great. We encountered 3 dolphins as well as a manatees and met very nice people on the beach. The hotel has a great location. We will definitely stay here again when we're in town.

I took my mom here for her birthday and the young man Mario made my experience 10x better. He fully accommodated us with everything we wanted and he was very polite and respectful. He made my moms birthday even better! We will definitely be coming back to this hotel because of him. Thanks for everything, we had so much fun.

The Gulfview Hotel is small and quiet. When you enter the hotel you are greeted by Joyce who is sweet and always welcomes you with a warm smile. The rooms are not extremely large but for the price they are perfect. Last but certainly not least is the hotel's maintenance e cleaning staff. They are all very pleasant, through and most of all extremely helpful. Circiao (older Hispanic gentleman) was especially pleasant friendly and always willing to help!!!

My wife and I were here last week for a short getaway from Chicago. We wanted something on the water and close to all the attractions and restaurants. It was a perfect location, Great private beach, friendly staff and clean rooms. Everyone at the hotel was very accommodating and made our experience better then we expected. Anyone looking for a good clean hotel near all the fun stuff Clearwater has to offer this is your place. We will definitely be back !!! Thanks again Gulfview staff !

Great views of the gulf. We stayed on the 3rd floor, end unit next to Shepard's. Enjoyed live music from our balcony. I gave it 3 stars because the hotel needs remodeling to charge the price I paid. Rooms were nice and clean but furniture, bed frames and cabinetry need upgrade. Staff was pleasant. Pool and Beach area was awesome. Beautiful place.

Very excellent place to stay. Clean rooms. Phyllis at the front desk was awesome. In fact everyone there was especially nice. Rooms had balcony which were perfect. Music from Shepherds next door was really cool. Hotel is right next to everything. Right on the beach.
Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Not a bad hotel for the price. Clean rooms and comfy beds as well as staff who are very nice. The only downfalls are the dryer we used didn’t dry our close and they cost two dollars. Also their private beach isn’t so great. It’s too small with not much room to swim and there are no chairs provided for the beach like the hotels around them. You can’t remove the ones by the pool as there’s a sign that clearly states not to. It’s much better to walk up to the public beach which isn’t that far.

Great location! Ocean view right from our room! Great music right next door. Loved every minute if our stay there!

The beat price hotel for college spring breakers, I mean yes it has no room service no amazing luxurious amenities but the location is perfect. And well perfect.

Our experience here was great. There were three types of rooms: standard (no view), partial view, and gulf view. Before we came we upgraded to the gulf view and it was definitely worth it for what is a much better deal than anywhere else in the area that is directly on the beach.

I've stayed in both super fancy hotels and really crappy hotels, and I consider this one nice, with a location that puts it over the edge on the better end of my experiences. Sure the hallways aren't spectacular considering the years of people coming and going in bathing suits and sandy feet but the room was big and clean. The little kitchenette looks recently redone with a small stove and appliances. The beds are nice and comfortable, and the balcony is of course amazing!

The gulf-view side rooms all look right over Shepard's, so there was live music and partying going on until the early hours of the morning (2am I think.) You can definitely hear it with the balcony doors closed but it wasn't obnoxious and I had no trouble sleeping. A few years ago i stayed on a top floor in another hotel in Melbourne Beach next to a bar and the walls were literally shaking from the bass until 2am--that was definitely not the situation here. Being close to Shepard's also means in a one minute walk you can check them out, they have restaurants and watersports rentals. There's also a great strip of beach stores, a market, and mini golf right across the street.

We're having an awesome time here and the staff has been wonderful. I knew when i booked I was not getting a 4 start beach resort but that's not something I was looking for. I wanted a relaxing weekend where I could wake up and see the gulf and I got that and more. The only thing I actually felt disappointed about was that the wifi didn't work.

I would definitely come again!

This was a photo from our balcony with the partial gulf view room. It was worth the extra money to have this view! Gorgeous sunsets from our room! We loved this hotel. No, not as fancy as some others, but very clean, nice decor, the staff was very friendly & accommodating, the pool and hot tub were great, and the private beach was awesome! So many restaurants and beach bars with live music right on this block. The Island Market directly across the street has all you need to cook in the room if you want. Each room has a sink, two burner stove, mini fridge and microwave. Miniature golf across the street and great rental place next door. We absolutely loved this location and will stay here at the Gulfview Hotel every time we come back!

Good bang for the buck, Gulfview is one of the oldest hotel on the beach and as such shows her age but don't let that deter you. For the price you get a clean descent room in a great location and right on the water. Our "view" from our balcony was a parking garage but it is too easy to walk down to the pool or beach to watch the fantastic sunsets. No dining on site but you are just a stone's throw from many restaurants and a well stocked grocery store is across the street. And free parking.

Best hotel on beach for the money...has an outside Jacuzzi and heated pool ...other hotels near by don't have beach access. Live entertainment feet walking away Loved it management awesome ...I mean awesome...will come back every February...

Best deal on the beach. Large comfortable rooms with a small private beach. Price is a fraction of surrounding hotels with the same basic amenities. There is also a kayak/windsurfing rental next door. Have all the expected salt water rentals. Highly recommend as a nice place on a budget.

Very pleasant and clean. Grocery store across the street and close to the pier, a nice stroll at sunset. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Next door to Shepherds and when we closed our sliding doors we didn't hear any of the noise from next door.

my 20 min drive to get away on my days off. little nook close to everything. View of the sunset big picture windows. did I mention walk out to the beach..Refreshing~

Great clean place Phyllis at front desk excellent. Clean Ocean view room with balcony the best. Free hot fresh coffee in lobby. Walking distance to so many restaurants and stores. Can't beat the price. Highly recommend this Hotel. Beach right downstairs. Great view of sunsets.

Visiting for the first time at this hotel and it was nice. Rooms are not smelly and clean. Prices are reasonable also. I would stay here again.

My husband and I just stayed there for our 2nd wedding anniversary, we can't say enough good things, room location, view, etc...perfect. The staff whom we dealt with and just passed by wonderful. We will definitely be staying here again, and certainly recommend it to our friends and family. Again a thanks to everyone there for making our stay that much better.

Honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Booking through check out was easy. The price was good. We had a beautiful gulf view hotel. It's right next to Shepard s' bar which is a blast. Will definitely stay here again. Rooms were clean and had everything we needed.

Has the right rating of a 2 star hotel. Stuff is friendly. Room is clean other than a odd smell I guess all the rooms have. Bathroom was nice and clean. Pool area is good and is right on rhe beach. Good place to stay if you don't plan on spending a lot of time in the room other than to sleep and shower.

This place gets the job done! The price compared to its neighbors is worth it. You are on the beach with restaurants, stores and nightlife very close by. I heard they will not be bought out and have always kept the prices the same.

Great price, room was nice, service excellent. Really enjoyed the pool and beach, with close access to shepards and other beach shopping and attractions.

The hotel price was nice when compared to the surrounding areas rates. It's about 10 minutes walking to the beach and has a mini Golf Course across the street and a awesome Buffet almost next door.

Great hotel with a private beach. Dont expect a five star hotel though. Great price for a great vacation at a wonderful beach.

Don't know why people are giving over 2 stars for this place.
Just stayed there last night and it was just a bad experience.
Rust, cracks, musty smelling rooms, they used so much cleaner in the hallways my eyes were burning, i guess it was to cover the mildew smell.
We were told we had an ocean front on the phone then after driving 4 hours to get there we ended up staring at a parking garage instead of the ocean.
A stove that looks like it was pulled from a scrap pile that is built into the mini fridge (new to me), we were scared to use it because it looked like a fire hazard, which would have been bad since the fire extinguisher in the closet had not been inspected since September of 2016.
Toilet paper holders being held together by duct tape.
Leaky air conditioner.
The shower was great though, nice and hot with good pressure.
All i can say if you're just visiting Clearwater and just want a bed for $159.00 a night go for it.
Just don't expect much.

It was great but our room kinda smelled bad and the door to the bathroom had a hole in it. But besides that it was a great experience. The beach was awesome btw

Great location and very friendly staff. The only thing I didn't like is the beach behind the property it is at the very end of Clearwater beach. However you are about a mile from the boardwalk so it is well within walking distance unless you want to bring a cooler,chairs,umbrella etc...

Wonderful place to stay!!! Clean rooms with a lot of space. Front desk was extremely helpful. Overall the best place to stay at Clearwater!!! We will be returning soon!

We absolutely love this place. We went planning on spending one night and spent the rest of our vacation there. Wonderful staff great price and when quiet is needed just close your patio door.

Excellent place. Erica at the front desk was very kind and respectful even though I was just there to ask questions. Would definitely recommend.

Great service...the view on the 4th floor it's amazing. And I loved being there with my girlfriend and her family

I booked this hotel a week away from my vacation during spring break so for the location and the price I paid, I'd say I got a good deal. I wasn't expecting it to be the best hotel out there as I knew it was a little older than other hotels in the area. I was sure to get a gulf view room and requested the highest room available. When I arrived there Friday afternoon there were plenty of parking spaces but it was a tight fit for my truck. The guy behind the front counter wasn't very talkative but through out the weekend other staff were more friendly. No surprise fees or anything once I got the room keys. When I got to the room I made sure to check over everything, bathroom was superb no mold or funny smell what soever, no stains on the bed, no mold on the A/C unit. The kitchenette was outdated but who goes on vacation and cooks food? Nobody. I only used the mini fridge for my beer. Cleaning ladies were amazing, always had fresh sheets and fresh towels. I had a room on the 3rd floor so the balcony had a limited view of the Gulf but I was able to see dolphins, people watch, look at the boats go by, and of course watch the sunset. The only complaint I would have to say is the hotel next store was always throwing a party, but fortunately for me I sleep like a rock so it didn't bother me so much. If you're looking for a nice place to stay for a weekend getaway and don't want to spend a fortune for a condo, this is the place.

Rooms are clean and well kept. Great service. Love being on the beach.

It's like the past of Clearwater Beach in a time capsule! If you want more than a decent clean place to stay, with in room amenities to eat cheaply too; then go to one of the neighboring behemoths. The Gulfview is like the secret gem of Clearwater Beach and I hope it only changes to keep the rooms comfortable.

Nice place with a great view. A little dated, but very clean. Price was very good. When you are visiting a place, you just need a place to lay your head or relax in the evening. This place satisfied that and more. The only real problem was the hot tub was not hot.

Price was not bad, and the rooms were more than adequate for the area. Plenty of places to check out within easy walking distance.

The staff is super nice and the rooms are perfect for the price. Absolutely love it. The beach and the hottub were under construction when I was there but so was the entire coast. I'm guessing in preparation for summer. But this hotel still deserves 5 stars. Amazing place.

Good location, clean and priced well.

Hotel is clean. Not too good customer service . When we asked for an additional chair and to help us to find out why the tv was not working, our requests never were solved. A little bit loudy. Ocean flame club/restaurant next to the hotel makes the stay funnier

Nothing fancy, but a comfy place to stay and they have always been great to me and my family.

Nice little beach and little pool and hot tub for the price. Loud tiki bar next door

Stayed 1 night but would highly recommend room facing the ocean $141after tax, live band next door good choice of food and restaurants near, by heated pool and hot tub, rooms was nice with open balconies facing the gulf and kichenet, private beach small but with so little space what could you expect, pool is just feet from ocean will stay here again

Best value on South Beach.... clean, well care for small place right beside Shepherd's! Good views and courteous staff!
If your looking for quiet this is NOT the place!

Room was good, location was great. Slightly dated, but good price point. Staff and service was very good. Will return again.

No frills but just what we needed and at a great rate! Private beach, private pool and hot tub, small kitchenettes in each room, balconies (only some with a view), perfect view from the beach, awesome location right on Clearwater beach with lots of fun activities, good bars, and restaurants in walking distance. We'll be back!
Note: The new building next door is WAY too close, but that's not this place's fault. No view from one side of the hotel. Parking was really tight on 4th of July weekend! Glad we got there early.

The good: probably the cheapest room you're going to get anywhere near the water in Clearwater. Friendly staff. I felt the inside of the room was a tad nicer than expected, was clean with decent beds, bedding & updated tv with free wifi & free coffee in the lobby.

The bad: hotels have been built in front of the hotel so the part that faces the water is the side of the hotel and the water is actually a channel leading to the gulf. The "private beach" is about 30 yards long, you can't freely take a nice walk & you're fenced in by rocks so you really are stuck. When the sun sets everyone from the hotel in front of this one gathers on their rocks and blocks your view. Not what I expected but again u get what u pay for.

The ugly: a million cars park in the parking lot so you're lucky to get a spot at all THEN more cars come in at night & when I awoke early I was blocked in. The guy at the front desk was too "nice" to be firm with the hungover young couple unwilling to come down & move their car. I had to go bang on their hotel room door myself and lose my temper in order to get them to come down and let me out. I was basically trapped & had to be in the next city right away so it was very stressful. I got the impression this was a regular occurrence.

The bottom line: if you're short on $$ and just wanna dip your toes in the ocean & don't get up early in the morning go for it!

Awesome girls,and mrs.Re'Nae ,thanks you made meanest woman i know besides my mom happy,lol , y'all girls rock
