Honestly it’s not the best looking, but we made it home for a little over a month. Always clean sheets upon request, really quiet, everyone kept to themselves. Some people live there and some were dailies. The owners are very friendly and offered the best rates in the area! If we ever go back to Clearwater we would definitely stay again!

I stayed at Budget Inn of Clearwater for 10 days: I found it to be quiet, quite spacious, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The rate was decent. I liked how I had windows on both sides of the room, giving lots of natural light, and when I wanted it dark, the blackout curtains did a great job. Although the room was clean, the shower curtain could use replacing or a deep cleaning, the shower water pressure was very low, and hot water not always available (warm water was available). It's an older retro building, so if you are looking for high end perfection, this isn't for you. If you want a decent, no-frills, quiet place to stay, then this could work for you. There's a gas station convenience store across the street and it's only 2 miles to the beach: an easy bus or bike ride if you don't want the hassle of parking. One of the reasons it's a quiet motel is they don't allow visitors: for one, there's only enough parking for the guests, and two, it keeps the property free from loud parties and illegal activities. It's also pet friendly, and my guy Hollywood felt right at home. I'd stay there again when I need a place in Clearwater.
