Sta 'n Pla Motel - Clearwater, Florida

Bug n.n

Me and my boyfriend loved our stay at Sta'n Pla. This retro motel is perfect for budget trips. We were in room 28, it included everything we could have possibly needed during our two night stay. We used UV lights as soon as we entered and essentially everything was cleaned spotless. The floors did need a good mopping; my feet were turning black after 20 minutes, but that didn't bother us too much. We didn't see any bugs the whole time either. We really felt at home here, i slept amazing the whole stay. We felt very safe leaving our things in the room while we attended a concert in Tampa as well as explore the beach, which really is only a 3 minute walk. The beach nearby is beautiful and is covered in shells. There's also plenty of places nearby for food. The area is nice and is decently quiet, we felt safe and very comfortable walking around to take pictures at 3am. The pool was clean, they even allowed us to cool off in it before we checked in. They also allowed us to fish on the docks which had sheepshead. Antonia was very kind and informative throughout our stay. Overall we really enjoyed it here and we couldn't be happier. We'll definitely be back 🙂

We Loved it Here.
Vacation in Clear Water We Gambled on this hotel and It was Great.
Rooms Where clean and cozy ideal For Couples. Yes It is A block from the main strip but It was Quite. The Little Private dock Is Great for Watching the sun Set and Rise or reading.

The pool was Clean and the Deep end Was 8 ft. That's A Score when you are a 6'ft 4in

There Is a Very Good Pizzeria that's Neighbors to a Local wine and spirits store. A Short Walk for the hotel.

I highly recommend staying here.

I love these old motels. Every year there are fewer & fewer. They keep bulldozing the good old quaint motels of the 50s and replacing them with new modern high rise hotels that cost 2, 3, 4x as much. Sta n Pla was clean refreshed and had a small kitchen. Perfect place to Uber from the airport, Instacart some groceries, walk to the beach and chill. Great place to enjoy the old Clearwater vibe and budget my family has enjoyed for years!!!

The one bedroom studios are situated in the quiet part of busy Clearwater Beach. Our room was great with everything you would need for a short term stay. It has a fridge, toaster, coffee machine, good wifi and is airconditioned. The place is renovated and of good standard, very clean and easy to access. Out the door you can use the benches and tables at the little red pier to watch pelicans or read a book. You also have access to the pool. We would recommend the rooms for 2 adults.

It is located just 5 mins by foot away from the public beach, dozens of restaurants, bars and a little grocery shop. Everything is in reach without the need of a car.

Lea was a fantastic host, excellent communication and very caring. The temperature dropped for a day and she immediately brought over a heater and extra blankets just in case. This really made the stay even more special. We are greatful to have found this gem and would love to come back in the future!

This is a motel that they turned into an Airbnb. Location is great, it’s on the Marina side and only about 2 blocks fr the beach and there are stores and restaurants nearby. Pizza place and souvenir shops one block away. There’s a small pool.

Room itself is decent. They’re clean but a little outdated. Kitchen and bathroom could use an update but sufficient for short term use. Has Flat screen TVs (maybe 32inch?). Not central AC and the ac unit a kinda loud.

Only good thing about this place how close it was to the beach that's it!

1st room I saw was a massive dump & dirty. Luckily the one we stayed it was nice but false advertisement didn't have a tub, kitchen table and chairs and ocean view.

They charge you 25.00 per towel after 2. Expect you to only use 2 towles for a 6 day stay and the amount of sand that is on your body after the beach.

They don't have house keeping, when trying to co taxt a worker or manager to ask for something they clearly don't get back to you until almost 2 days later I don't recommend this place at all unless your solo. I was very disappointed in the place gave months an advance notice when I would arrive and I had arrive at 4am and wouldn't let us check in till almost 2pm after driving straight though from kentucky driving over 13 hrs and had to walk around until our room was ready next time I will spend the extra 2000 to stay in a real hotel where people actually care who stays in there places.

Really like this place, was clean and didn't have any issues. There is no smoking on the property but it's not a big deal, just walk out to the road. Has a great bay veiw, and veiw of the road on upper deck. And a very cool neon sign. ? I will definitely stay here again. Really close walking to the beach!!

This is a great place to stay compared to the pricey locations. Walking distance to everything including the beach. The rooms are outdated, and may look deceiving however, our rooms were clean, provided towels, air conditioning, shower gels and shampoo, hair dryer. I loved being close to the Bay. Relaxing spot. Will return!
