Riviera Bay Hotels, St. Petersburg - Clearwater

"We were in room 628. We had a great view of the Gulf and Pier 60. The room was very clean and the staff was friendly. Alyssa was our bartender most of the time. She was very friendly and made awesome drinks. We were drinking Mai tai and margaritas and every time she made them, they tasted the same every time. This was our 3rd year and we enjoyed it each time and we will return next March."

"The hotel was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. Being that the rooms are old Some of the doors and showers show much wear. but the bed was comfortable and clean."

"Cons (not very many). Finding the main entrance on arrival is a challenge, especially if you are not familiar with the area. You have to turn a block before what the GPS says. It is on a side street. The shower pressure was low, but what a beautiful shower! The adjoining room door on our side kept slamming all hours of the day and night which we think was a wind tunnel effect between the two rooms. That was annoying, but tolerable. On our last night at about 1:30 in the morning, there was a fire alarm that went off and we had to evacuate. A few minutes later, the hotel maître D came out and announced that it was a false alarm and everything was OK-back to bed. About 10 minutes later, the alarm went off again, and then again! We assumed it was a false alarm at that point. An overhead announcement saying that it was not a true alarm would have been nice. We also got to witness someone being taken out in handcuffs. A surprise as it is much more upscale than that! Apparently someone got a little too drunk and may have been roughing up his wife. Pros: We had a king suite that overlooked the courtyard and the pool and the ocean! Exceptional staff and on check in offered us a complimentary glass of bubbly! We didn’t try the more upscale restaurant but sampled their piña coladas (several!) and best I’ve ever had! The more casual restaurant and pool bar were great. Had a wonderful time despite the weather being rainy, cool and windy 2 of our days. Would love to go back!!"
