Spa Hotels in Pinellas County

We enjoyed everything about this historic hotel: the room, the lobby chock full of art and references to its speak-easy past, the pastry shop, the bar, the comfy, covered front porch, the pool and fountains, food and drinks served poolside, the friendly staff, and the friendly guests we met. Also, the Hollander is perfectly located in St. Pete, being in the historic downtown district near my company headquarters and close to great destinations such as the Salvador Dali museum, Chihuly blown-glass gallery, and Morean arts center. I love historic downtowns and boutique hotels such as the Hollander. The rooms in historic hotels are often smaller than ones in chain hotels, but they more than compensate with their unique personalities and intimate atmospheres, which leave me with vivid memories of my stays in these sweet lodgings and the cities they call home.

The hotel is more than ten minutes' drive from Tampa beach, not very far. The lady at the front desk is super friendly, and the room is relatively big. Although it looks like it took a long time to decorate, it is very clean. There is an oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, etc. in the room, which is very convenient if needed. The hotel also provides free parking, which is quite cost-effective.

Breakfast costs extra. Hotel location is good

So pleased with service the moment we pulled up. We were greeted with most respectful parking attendants, and we had plenty of time to checkin and gather all belongings. Hotel provided excellent breakfast selection, beautiful pool, fitness center, as well as a fun engaging shuttle ride to their closest drop off location. On our trip, thanks to our wonderful parking attendants we were able to meet, Hulk Hogan and Jimmy Hart!!! How bad ass vacation is that! We are forever grateful. Now, for one unpleasant experience…. On our last night stay, we did experience a not so polite front desk associate. Our party wanted to utilize beautiful balcony area to play cards and laugh but there was a sign, stating bad weather patio was closed. We were bummed but made arrangements to sit inside lobby area instead. We also asked if we could have new top cover blankets for our room, coming back from the beach sand got all over them. We were told it would be a very long time before we would receive them, all blankets were locked up, and housekeeping was already gone. We stated no problem!! One of our party members got a little chilly inside lobby area, so we asked if we could have a small blanket to use. Associate handed us a small blanket to use so we could continue playing cards in lobby. We looked up weather conditions and storm had moved past, so we informed front desk associate storm moved passed, if we could use outside balcony. Extremely frustrated with us, front desk associate ripped signage off, unlocked door, and told us all mosquitoes were outside!! ***??? Next morning checking out, we informed hotel manager Laura one of her associates was unpleasant and rude last night. Ms. Laura apologized on behalf of her associate and informed us she would be speaking and addressing her behavior directly. Thanks again, Fairfield Marriott for the wonderful stay, parking attendants were so wonderful and polite!! Thank you!

Great location good for walking around the town. The hotel is spacious and clean. The bar has good selection of drinks. A little overpriced for the size of rooms and overall for the hotel.

This resort has all you could want. However, the rooms were a bit warm, the AC was not cooling the room. As for the tiki bar, it had a DJ playing. Unfortunately, there were a lot of people on day passes and the pools were packed. I strongly recommend not allowing day passes to locals so that paid guests can enjoy the amenities a little more without feeling overwhelmed. Parking was difficult, limited space. Day pass people took up most of the parking spots.

The room was generally clean, except for the refrigerator, which had a bit of beach sand in it. I requested a microwave and a rollaway bed, which arrived right away, but the microwave was disgusting. The hotel's location is prime, with direct access to the beach. Parking is an additional cost per night. They also charge an additional fee that includes certain basic services, but it doesn't include umbrellas. It's good to know this so it doesn't come as a surprise. The front desk service seemed robotic, but the rest of the staff made a huge difference. Overall, it was a pleasant experience to be able to forget about driving and walk to the beach, boulevard, and restaurants—everything is close by.

We really liked the location and design. However, we noted there was no bedspread on the bed, the floor was sticky, refridgerator did not work, the shower floor had massive hair in it creating the water to back up, the towels were small and thin, and there was no parking option other than valet costing an unplanned expense. We were told there would be robes in the room but there were not. We were told we would have a gulf view but had to crank our heads way to the side to see it. We informed the desk and all they said was they would inform housekeeping. There was nothing luxury about this as it seemed basic. The resturant was not ready yet. We had coffee only which was good. Very disappointing experience otherwise.

Perfect place for families or couples wanting to do lots of activities. The resort offers a variety of things. Similar to a cruise ship. Perfect location. Issues were the laundry not working on the ground level and the plumbing from the upstairs unit was horrifically loud. The neighbours like to shower at 5am, it wasn’t ideal. Air con was super loud, bed was broken and the groundskeeper likes to use his petrol powered blower at 8am too. It was a fun place to be though.

the location is near the airport, and the room is good
