My husband and I stayed at Amber Tides from April 7th through the 13th. This place was a little slice of Heaven. The manager, Joe was a God Send. Not only was he a wonderful Host, he was also very knowledgeable about Clearwater Beach. He helped us find things to do each night and even printed out emails for me... More

This place was a mixed bag for us. Even though we use Tripadvisor often, I forget sometimes that the rating that users give has nothing to do with the hotel rating. This is MAY BE a 2 star hotel. There are aspects of it that I can see people giving a good rating but bottom line is that it is... More

We chose this hotel based on location/price. The room appeared to be unclean (hair on the bedsheets, dirty refrig and shower). The window was broken and banged loudly. Room was noisy with no curtains and minimal blinds. Everyone could see in at their leisure. Staff was very nice but that alone couldn't keep us there. We were out 560$ after... More

We've been there just one day because our flight home Was delayed. We stayed in Sta'n'Pla motel, but they didn't have an extra room for us without reservation, but they helped us as much as they could and showed us the way to this motel. It Was quite a bit more expensive, but also much more luxurious than the previous... More

4 friends and I went to Clearwater last year for Spring Break, and it was very hard to find a place to check in under 18. The manager Uli (spelling?) was very kind and allowed us to stay there. Rather than staying in the Amber Tides, he had us stay in the newer Sta n Pla. This place was very... More

We stayed here over Thanksgiving and the place was real cozy. We found Joe to be quite helpful in organizing our holiday. The pool was heated and our room was clean. Affordable,close to the beach, and to some really good places to eat. I would recommend this Motel if staying in Clearwater Beach.

My daughter and I booked a stay at Amber Tides last March for spring break. When we arrived we were told that the room they had for us was under construction, but that they would put us up in their "sister" motel down the street called "Sta' n Pla'". At first I was very upset, as the setting at Amber... More

We arrived and were pleased to find an old Florida motel in the middle of a barron treeless hotel/motel district. The pool was a great place to talk with other guests and you can grill your dinner right on the pool deck. Lots of trees and shade by the pool. Ulli was easy to deal with and when I wasn't... More

This was probably the most interesting place I have ever stayed. First of all, you come up on the place and you notice that there is an abandoned, dilapidated motel right next door. I don't know if they are planning to tear it down or what but it's creepy. My friend and I went to the small office area to... More

I spoke to Vivianself on the phone for over 30 minutes trying to address all her complaints. I also spoke with Ulli our manager and our cleaning staff to get the whole story. Vivianself called and requested a large or handicap room which was not available at the time. She was told by Ulli that we do have a small... More
