I have stayed at many high-end hotels, and Amber Tides is my kind of place. I was in town for a conference at the Sheraton on Sand Key (which was $149/night, plus tax, for the conference discount; I think regular rate is around 225/night), but didn't want to spend all of my money on the hotel and my family was...

My boyfriend and I spent the past few days in Clearwater Beach and I couln't wait to get home to write a review. I am huge believer in Trip Advisor and have used the reviews to choose my accomodations in many cities and countries. I am here to tell you the Amber Tides Motel is a great place to stay... More

We stayed in this motel last summer. Decent rooms, clean beds and bathrom. Kitchen with all what you need (how much time do you spend cooking beeing on vacation ?). Excellent swimming pool AND the most important the motel is very close to the beach.

This place suited me perfectly. The Amber Tides is a smaller older style Florida motel located a few blocks from Pier 60. The location is in a somewhat quieter spot…no drunks wandering out of bars and such…but within easy walking distance of the full Clearwater Beach experience. Some of the positive attributes… Clean rooms. Self contained units with fridge, stove,... More

My husband and I have stayed at numerous "old Florida" motels, so our expectations regarding Amber Tides was moderated by what we knew would be older accommodations compensated by proximity to beach activities. On the good side, the location to the beach is excellent. The pool area is comfortable and private, with decent seating options. The landscaping is lush which... More

I would pretty much echo the sentiments of most of the other reviewers. An older property, and yes, the rooms look dated, but they were clean, functional and we wanted for nothing. We were in Room 6 which is like a small one bedroom apartment. The countertops were brand new, the cupboards old, but fresh painted and clean. All the... More

All the reviews I read before booking were spot on. The owner Ulli was the best, always helpful and friendly. My fiance and I stayed in room 4, my dad & uncle were room 2 and my dad's friend and wife were in room 8. Everything is within walking distance including Pier 60. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable and... More

The street is very quiet considering how close it is to the beach and unless your looking, all you might see is a richly landscaped patch with all manor of tropical vegetation and huge psalms. Our room was decorated with flare and though some items were a little old, we had everything we needed and everything worked! We had a... More

This is a Motel that grows on you. When you arrive you’d be mistaken to think it’s a bit rough, but it definitely gets better as YOU get used to it. So how to describe, I’d use words like shabby chic, dated, mid 80’s, old fashioned, honky-tonk, quaint, special (as in she’s special) and all this is good and not... More
