Staff friendly.Floor dirty in penthouse/Had to call 2x for (4) light bulbs, trash under bar sink no entertainment except beach bar music.“Ideal location near fine dining and shops. Views from rooms above average. Pool area nice and very close to beach. Phone at front desk answered in timely manner and staff friendly. Despite being bumped to Penthouse, room was not really ready. (4) light bulbs out, trash under bar sink, floor dirty, remote for bedroom TV. missing, A/C was loud and worked hard to cool. Imagine room would be very hot in spring season facing west. Although entertainment was advertised, the upstairs Spinners were empty and I could not even get a drink at midnight. Public restrooms clean but the remodeled penthouse bathroom was cheesy, with wall paper peeling. The Toilet tissue boxed area fell down when I went to dispense. There were several weddings on the beach and receptions and often the elevators were crowded with wait staff and carts. I would stay again but never at half the suggested retail printed on the door and would avoid the dining except for a casual fish sandwich.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169158 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169159 Location on beach.No whirlpool.“I am often skeptical about non chain hotels - in this case, this former Holiday Inn was a find. They did not have any hotel fees for parking or beach access.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169159 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169161 The location was wonderful, and the restaurants were very goodFurniture a bit dated and air conditioner was noisy.“A great place to stay in the area, very good value for the price. The Bell captain was most helpful and friendly.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169161 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169163 Location and Housekeeper.Bathroom electricity goes off, TV reception terrible. No HBO, computer reception bad. Only 2 elevators.“Hotel is old but location is good and clean and friendly.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169163 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169165 It was right on the beach, and the views from our room were excellent.It was all good.“This was the first time my wife and I had been to St. Pete Beach, and it couldn't have been any better. They offered live music in the beach bar, and I was aware that security was present in the lobby, which for us was a plus. The surrounding area has lots of interesting things to do. Pass-a-Grille and Tampa's pier were the best ever.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169165 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169169 Great beach, good casual dining.Hotel was tired. Pool area was mediocre. High end restaurant was terrible.“Average older hotel with better than average service. Casual dining was good but the service and the food at the revolving restaurant was a very poor experience.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169169 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169167 Right on the beach, 2nd bed was a Murphy bed.Restaurant on top of hotel smelled a little musty.“Rooms were clean and bright. all had balconies. Heated pool really was heated. 2nd bed was a Murphy bed instead of a fold out so mattress was firmer and when folded into the wall the base became a couch with a lot of walking space in front of it. Smoking was only allowed on balconies so there wasn't any cigarette odor anywhere. We arrived in a rainstorm and the hotel had covered parking which was also great.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169167 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169174 The staff was very friendly and helpful.The bathroom was not very clean.“The hotel was an excellent stay for the investment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Every suggestion they made was right on the money. We would definitely stay at this hotel again.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169174 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169172 The hotel was located directly on the beach. The beds were very comfortable.There is a beach bar next door and the music lasted late into the night.“Our room had been nicely renovated and the bed was very comfortable. Our room was large and clean. The location was wonderful. We would consider going back again. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169172 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169176 View of sunset from hotel balcony.Lobby smelt like dirty diapers; bed linen did not fit bed.“The staff was unprofessional. Smoked in public places/looks sloppy and is nasty, front desk took phone calls instead of helping live guests, front desk acted troubled when you asked them anything, room was full of furniture, bed linen did not fit bed, bed slanted to one side (room708), lobby smelt like dirty diapers, hair in bathroom that was not ours, room AC never cooled room, bathroom renovation was cheaply done and therefore the bathroom looked dirty all the time, garage was dirty (untidy) looking, did enjoy the beach-side entertainment on the weekends.” http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Grand_Plaza_Beachfront_Resort_Hotel_Conference_Center/r1169176
