The AC Clearwater is managed far below Marriott’s standards…Dog barking next door for an hour+ early Saturday morning (front desk did nothing), soap dispenser in shower empty, coffee pods not replenished by housekeeping (“we’ll send it up right away” took almost 2 hours)…”Valet Parking” on my Bill (I drove an uber.) I’m a Bonvoy fan, just not the AC Clearwater.

The focus of this property is the lobby and amenities the rooms do not reflect the price point they charge per night. The worst part are the mattresses I have stayed at cheaper hotels that atleast invested in quality bedding. I would rather stay at a motel than rebook here that's how underwhelming the experience was.

Nice hotel with clean rooms and friendly staff. We booked two queen beds for 6 days but were told upon arrival that they did not have two queens available for our first night. They did comp us a free breakfast the next morning for our inconvenience. Breakfast is not free but it is top notch! I also like that there is an on site restaurant ..

Room was clean and spacious, beds very comfortable, huge comfy pillows. There’s a nice long bench the length of the wall that greatly assists with managing suitcases; plenty of space for 3 people. It was nice to have Starbucks coffee and water available in the lobby at all times. Nice view from window. Excellent location across the street from the beach. Staff were friendly and very responsive to our requests. Blow dryer was broken, but was quickly replaced with a brand new one. Only downside was the heating/cooling system was a bit noisy at night, so bring earplugs if a light sleeper.

The room didn’t have enough storage places to put our cloths. The shower was awful and not enough places to hang towels especially since you need to reuse them. I was not made aware of the cost of valet so that was a surprise.the staff was ok at front desk but not particularly helpful. The hotel is dated. The staff at bar restaurant were great.
