Book a hotel near Eckerd College, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"The rooms are not updated, but are very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The transportation around the area is free if you stay at Tradewinds. That saved us a lot in transportation costs for the week. The restaurants were all very good and tasty. "

"Hot tub wasn't warm at all"

"I was in the area for a business meeting so my family went with me to hang out at the beach. Overall, the staff was not very friendly and seemed put off to help. The hotel is historic and cool, but rooms are small and for the price you would think other things would be more accommodating and nice. Prices were quite high for everything. The elevator system is awful and took so long that we used the stairs the whole stay. They were filming a show 2 of the 3 days we were there which shut down one of the avg sized pools (only have two) requiring all guests to cram into the other area. Filming also shut down the lobby and elevator area for an extensive time. I asked the front desk (two others beside me also asked) about why we’re not told about the filming and if there would be a discount. Front desk person just smirked and said that would not be happening. At the Society restaurant for dinner, my daughter who has an egg and nut allergy (we disclose to everyone) had to order a chicken soft taco with cheese. This was an off menu item they said they could do. It showed up with cubed chicken that was barely warm with a slice of Kraft cheese laying on it. It was disgusting. After voicing frustration, the manager who saw the same thing took off 10%. I don’t mind paying for things, especially for good service and nice amenities but this stay was well below expectations."

"I got a standard room for four people, and it was really small. No room anywhere to put any suitcases but other than that everything was excellent. Definitely will be going back and getting a bigger room next time."

"Easy parking with many choices of shops around it"

"We had a room overlooking the beach. Soft white sand, there’s 2 pools and a hot tub! Cabanas and tables overlooking the beach. A bar with an amazing view. Great music, relaxing atmosphere , beautiful, well maintained lush landscape. Pickle ball, volleyball, kayaking. An amazing team of staff taking care of every need! They work tirelessly to keep the property gorgeous and make sure everyone is enjoying their stay! "
