Gandy Hotels, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"The staff were extremely friendly! Room was clean however our sink has some hair in the bowl upon arrival seems like it wasn’t cleaned prior. Outdoor pool is not HEATED so keep in mind if planning a late night swim! Bar area near the pool was under maintenance there was no bar available on the property extremely upsetting. Breakfast wasn’t the best thing ever. Bush gardens and Yingling brewery is walkable distance which is a plus if planning to attend :) will not be staying here again! "

"My stay was amazing. This beach vacation was truly paradise. Everything else melted away as I spent time on the beach , at the pool, and enjoying the nightly entertainment. Just please keep doing what you do."

"Good experience "

"It was very loud road, rotting in bathroom, door barley shut, curtains barely closed and 2/3 outlets didn't work."

"The beach was absolutely gorgeous! Bathroom was a bit small, but did the job. The food wasn't very good, sadly. but we had a wonderful weekend."

"Good beach view didn’t use the bar. "

"Grate location, quiet but near everything "

"Pool not open, never communicated prior to booking. Rooms are loud. Not impressed."

"I was disappointed to discover that this hotel also operates as a dormitory for the University of Tampa, which was not disclosed at the time of booking. As a result, the overall experience was far from what I expected from a hotel stay. Amenities such as the pool were essentially unusable due to overcrowding, and the lack of peace and quiet was a major issue. The hallways were consistently loud, with significant noise from late-night activity—often from 11:00 PM through 5:30 AM—making it difficult to rest. My stay, from Thursday through Sunday morning, was unfortunately very unpleasant. I strongly believe the Barrymore should be more transparent about this arrangement so guests can make informed decisions. Overall, this was a highly disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here."
