Treasure Island Ocean Club

First, the staff was very friendly and seemed exceptionally helpful. For example, we came back at midnight after drinks and dinner and couldn’t find parking. The front desk attendant moved his own car and double parked so I could take his spot. Also, I watched the daytime attendants work hard to help a gentlemen who couldn’t get his ipad to connect to the wifi. That being said, there was a lack of professionalism that ran through this hotel that made me quite uncomfortable. There were discussions of weekend plans in front of guests when we checked in, an upset maid who overheard that she was being let go in a few weeks, and a generally too connected feeling between staff and managers.
Now, the actual building. The location is fantastic and has great beach access an easy walk away. The actual hotel is very small and has a nice large pool area full of chairs, lounge chairs, and multiple seating areas throughout. Parking is extremely limited.
Our room needed updating. It had already received a counter with microwave and mini fridge and sink but there was no closet door in the room, just an open step up with exposed hangers and an iron. The tv cabinet was the only furniture in the room that could be used to store clothing and it was not really meant as a dresser. The stand was oversized and just seemed to emphasize the small size of the television. There was a comfortable arm chair but it could have used updating as well. The carpet was very old and outdated and the bed was the hardest bed I have ever slept on in my life. I could not sleep on my side because it actually hurt my hip. The door to our room didn’t fit in its frame well and had to be pulled up into place so it could be locked. Locks are still keys, not cards and losing one will cost you $ 100.00 according to the warning we received.
The bathroom was a good size but had no exhaust fan. This ensured that I could not put on any makeup in the bathroom and without another mirror in the room there was no other place to dress or check clothing. The lack of exhaust fan also ensured that the curtain rod was rusting away. The bathroom had some minor updates but the whole area needs to be redone to really make it appropriate for the area.
If you just want a place to stay for one night that is on the beach than this will suffice but for $ 139.00 we could have had a more comfortable and cleaner building with access to the beach.

dead cockroaches in the room, the lady at the counter could careless like this thing was dead for weeks so obviously they don’t clean well. The beds were super uncomfortable and the bathroom pretty gross. Then they had roofers working at 9am on a Friday it would of been a nice heads up to let their guests know we would be woken up that early. The only good thing is that it was on the beach. sooo not worth 200 $ i wouldnt stay here again. Also i live beachside i know cockroaches are a thing … but so is cleaning…

We were very skeptical about staying here because of the mixed reviews, but most other hotels in the area were booked up.
Pleasantly surprised! Our room overlooked the pool and our door was literally right NEXT to their «Tiki Bar». Oh boy! I thought, this is gonna be terrible. But the front desk assured my husband upon check in that the «bar» doesn’t have a party crowd. He was right. 2 guys sat there talking for about an hour and that’s it. When we came back from Friday night dinner at 11pm, the Tiki Bar was closed down. The pool area and hotel was all quiet.
Our room was clean with 2 queen beds, a table and 2 chairs, flatscreen TV on the wall, mini frig, microwave, coffee maker. The bathroom is the only thing that gives away the age of the hotel. Bathroom has Aqua and white Retro tiles, a white iron & crystal chandelier hanging above the sink. It’s kinda cool, like grandmas 1950’s house.
The hotel is just a few steps from the beach Boardwalk (or walking path). They have nice outdoor sofas, loves seats and tables that face the beach so you to chill and watch the sunset, people watch etc without having to sit by the swimming pool.
*****As for the people that are complaining about how far the beach is from the hotel, please understand: you are a few feet away from the SAND of the beach. They are complaining that the SURF WATER is further out. Meaning you need to walk through sand to get to the surf. (Good location for a hurricane, bad for Whiney-​Ass tourists).
I was impressed with the hotel and how nice the staff was. Def keeping this place in mind on our next trip to the west coast.

This place is in a great location, and is priced amazingly especially for being directly on the beach and within walking distance to stores and restaurants.
I was pleasantly surprised at the condition of the room as well. I am from Florida, so I am used to the older hotels being musty from the humidity. This one wasn’t musty at all and was very clean (minus the fridge could have been a bit cleaner, but that was a minor detail for me) Pool area is beautiful and heated to 85.
I stayed here with my husband and my 2 young boys and we felt very comfortable and safe. It is in a nice area and walking distance to a playground down the street. We would definitely stay again when visiting treasure island.

Booked this hotel for 2 nights through Hotel Tonight for $ 60/​night. The reviews were mixed but my husband and I were very satisfied! The room was clean, the AC worked well, the pool area and view was beautiful, and the customer service of the front desk and housekeeping staff was wonderful. The only downsides were the bed was not the most comfortable and the room only had one light from the desk lamp, but those are minor. We will definitely be returning!

I was very pleased with my overnight stay here, it was exactly what I expected it to be, maybe even a little better. We literally just needed a place to sleep as we were arriving late and leaving early morning, so I didn’t want to spend a fortune, but I wanted beachfront so I could enjoy my morning coffee with a beautiful sunrise over the water. I don’t think you could find a better deal on a beachfront room for $ 109.00. On arrival we were greeted by a fresh smelling large suite with a roomy living area and small kitchen area. It is outdated, but clean with the exception of the tiled bathroom floor which could use a good scrubbing and the bathtub really needed to be caulked, but the linens were all fresh and clean. The exterior was in excellent condition, the pool, garden and patio areas were very nice and there are chairs outside of the rooms to enjoy the ocean view. Both office attendants we encountered were very nice. There were noisy people down at the beach wall late into the night, but we kept the ac running which pretty much drowned out the noise. Really, the only problem we encountered was the limited parking, we had to wait for someone to leave to find a spot. It you’re looking for a luxury hotel, then move on down the beach and expect to pay a few hundred dollars a night, but if you just want a simple, nice place to stay, this is it. I would definitely go back.

So, basically, this is a 2 star motel located directly on a 4 star beach. If it was located just about anywhere else, I would rate it only one star. Upon check-​in, we had no toilet paper. That was definitely a first, and we stay at a lot of hotels. We also only had two towels in the room for the three of us, so I had to ask a housekeeper for an extra one. The housekeeper responded with serious attitude saying that she was out of towels on her cart and said she would ”see if she could find me one” (needless to say I never heard from her). The rooms are in rough shape, and the beds were some of the worst I’ve ever slept on (and I’ve been to South America!) I can also foresee serious parking issues with this place on sell out weekends as we struggled to find parking on a slow Monday night. We will not return.

Love this place!
For the price, location and amenities, I ain’t complainin!
The room was a little dated, and the bathtub was questionable. But that didn’t bother us! We cared more about the ambiance! Great atmosphere! Felt like I was in a time capsule. :)
Great strong wi-​fi
Nice staff! Great pool! Great location! Nice poolside bar!
Overall great! I WILL return and WILL recommend this place.

My mom and I stayed here for two nights in May. I booked through
, so the price was great — I’d have probably had to have a chat with the front desk if I had paid any more than I did.
Positives: The location is perfect — not far off the road to St. Pete, right on the beach, close to a lot of things. The pool was very nice. Rooms are cute and have an old Florida vibe that I love.
Negatives: (a) Parking is extremely limited. If my mom didn’t have a handicapped tag, we wouldn’t have been able to park after dinner on our first night there. (b) The room had one of the most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever slept on. It felt like a thin layer of padding was put on top of a plywood box. It was awful. But I could have looked past that, if it wasn’t for © the shower. The first morning, I took a shower around 7:30. It was fine for about 3 minutes, then it started cycling from freezing to scalding, to the point that I had to step outside the stream of water or I’d be concerned about getting burned. I wasn’t able to complete that shower. After swimming later in the day, I tried again. I turned the hot and cold a good bit lower this time — the temperatures still fluctuated, but not as dramatically, so I at least had a chance to get clean.
All in all, I’m okay with what we paid only because of the location. I would not stay here again — at the very least, I need a decent shower and I know I can get that for a lot less money. If you do choose to book this hotel, I wouldn’t recommend paying more than $ 75 a night.

For a small place this motel does everything right! It’s in the water, the rooms are small but immaculate, staff friendly, the pool is gorgeous, and there’s lots to do. Shuffle board, bean bag game, and located right in the middle of Treasure Island. Couldn’t ask for a better price or service.

Great prices compared to the places around it! The rooms were quaint with a full little kitchen and there was amazing beach access. Office staff was very nice. They have a nice grill and outdoor spaces. A couple of opportunities for improvement we noted — shower had mold, hair dryer didn’t work at all, parking is very limited and bed was very firm. For a no frills comfortable place right on the beach– I would recommend staying here and saving that money for an outdoor adventure.

My bestie’s birthday was this week, so we opted to do a couples weekend in Treasure Island. She found a deal on Groupon for a $ 97 a night on weekends, so figured we’d give it a shot as rooms on the beach can run $ 135 and up on weekends. We purchased two rooms with our friends, each for 2 nights a piece. Our rooms were all poolside rooms as beachfront rooms were not part of the Groupon deal. Our room was very different from our friends room. They were on the right of the pool where their room backs up to an alleyway. They had no kitchenette like we did or any other place to sit other than the bed. Our room was to the left of the pool. We had a small dinette to sit at as well as an oversized chair (kinda old, so it swallowed me whole when I sat in it). Their room set off the smoke detectors when they turned the heat on (it was bitter cold this weekend!) and filled their room with a smell they said was a mixture of cigarettes and dirty socks. The front desk offered to spray their room with air freshener for them. Nice, I suppose.
So, does it sound like we had the «better room»? Yes, except for one tiny little detail. Our room backed up to the hotel’s garden rooms. The attendant who took our reservation from Groupon kind of failed to mention that they were hosting a motorcycle group that weekend. There were at least 20 bikes parked literally under our window and our room was next to their block of rooms. At all hours, we were woken up to motorcycles pulling in and pulling away. I can deal with that. What I can’t nor should have to deal with is all of the bikers congregating in the parking lot at ALL hours, screaming to each other across the courtyard, revving their bikes in some macho pissing contest on whose crotch rocket sounds better than whose. The first night we got there was Friday night. We went out for dinner, hit a bar, got in late… they were carrying on, but hell, it’s Friday night. Everyone is entitled to their version of fun. By 4am, it had died down. The next morning, 7 am, there they were, out back, carrying on, revving engines again. I was definitely annoyed, but let it go. Saturday night, same thing again. As we spent all day on the beach and then had an early dinner, we all wanted to go back to our rooms and relax. Again, there they were, outside carrying on, revving their bikes, not even going anywhere. Around 3 am, I asked them to keep it down. Couldn’t complain to the front desk because no one was there at that hour. They finally shut up around 4 am. Sunday morning, they were back at it again at 7 am. I told my hubs to let the front desk know that we are taking a late check out, like it or not, because I got ZERO sleep. VERY frustrating experience. So, needless to say, my friends with the smelly room were the winners in the room lottery. I’d rather have a moment of smelly than chronically noisy.
However, the pool is heated and poolside is nicely kept with nice lounges and chairs. The housekeeping staff was attentive and nice. The rooms are supposedly remodeled, but still look a bit dated. The bathrooms are really tiny. The AC units could probably stand to be updated. Ours cooled okay but didn’t warm very well when it got cold. The rooms were definitely clean and «quaint» as my best friend called them. The WiFi is free. They have cable with HBO. There is no hot tub, but the pool is well heated.
Having stayed at several other beach hotels along that strip, I wouldn’t say they were close to the best, but they’re not close to the worst either. I don’t think I’d stay here again if i had to pay full price, but with a Groupon, it wasn’t totally regrettable as a hotel. However, even with the Groupon, the noise and inconsiderate behavior of the motorcycle club was intolerable. Further, the hotel’s lack of consideration for their other guests who prefer sleeping to the sound of the ocean as opposed to crotch rockets and rude guests, was sort of appalling.
Last year, during a stay at the Thunderbird right up the street from the TIOC, we had a problem with Spring Break rude guests, banging on our doors, jumping in the pool at 3 am and screaming at all hours. We were very graciously comped for a free night any weekend of our choosing as incentive to come back. Here, at TIOC, we were given a WHOLE extra hour to leave. Wow. Thanks. And it wasn’t offered, we had to request it. Since that excellent customer service at the Thunderbird, we’ve stayed with them exclusively, at least 6 or more times in the past year. Great customer service goes a LONG way.
Great weekend with friends, just wish we had stayed elsewhere. Would have been worth the $ 30 a night we saved.
ETA: My husband wants me to tell you the beds were very uncomfortable and too hard. HE can sleep anywhere. I’m usually the fussy one. So, if he’s saying the beds sucked… then they sucked.

Everything was good except for the fact that I got charged 3 times for my stay. My banking statement has 3 charges. One for 140.55 thru
, then two for 112.09 thru the hotel itself. I hope there will be a sizeable credit coming my way very soon otherwise I will call and make a complaint. This sort of mistake seems as though it could have been avoided. I may consider booking my travel plans on other websites and at other hotels in the future.

I found a great deal online for this motel. The reviews were mixed, but I looked at photos online and drove past the motel and thought it looked clean. I called and ensured that ALL of the rooms were remodeled, and they said every room was remodeled. I rented 2 rooms for family I was having come in town. What a mistake. The first room upon entering had a giant cockroach crawling across the floor. This is florida, so we have them. I understand, the out of towners don’t. Both rooms smelled like awful cleaning solution. I had to buy room spray and air out the room. The bathrooms were NOT updated. They were disgusting. There were crumbs on the floors and hairs on the sheets of the bed. Housekeeping never vacuumed or came and cleaned the room, they just left towels outside of the room. The front office staff was very friendly and gave us towels and toilet paper, but the rooms were just plain gross. To be fair, the location was excellent and the office staff were over accommodating, so very friendly. We requested housekeeping clean our room and they (front desk) were genuinely confused as to why housekeeping did not clean. We had no privacy sign outside of our door either. When housekeeping finally did come to our room they did the shoddiest job ever… The bathroom looked scarier than before. We even left a monetary incentive on the dresser thanking them before they cleaned. The owners said they are still trying to remodel the bathrooms and have only owned the place for a year, so more changes are coming… Hopefully for the better. As much as I loved the price, location, and office staff you truly get what you pay for… Which was an unclean, odorous, disgusting room that made all of my family uncomfortable and left a bad taste in their mouths.

We had a great stay at the Treasure Island Ocean Club. It was the perfect location to explore the area, and the beach trolley stops just in front of the hotel which was very convenient. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean which is all that we ask for in a room. The staff were very friendly and helpful in answering our questions about navigating the area. Go for a room with a beach view and balcony!

Nice staff but not worth the money even with it being on the beach. Our room was not well cleaned. Whoever cleaned our room did not change the sheets but just remade the bed. Clue: lipstick and sand in the sheets. Had to have them remake the bed in front of us. It’s been somewhat renovated but the AC units are weak. Room was hot. Spend $ 30.00 more and stay at The Post Card Inn or Tradewinds.

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend. We arrived very late at night. The receptionist was very polite. He helped us with suitcases, escorted us to the room. Room was big and clean. It is an older hotel so need some updating (A /​C needs updating, the bathroom is small and old but everything in it works well). The hotel has three buildings. Between the first two is the swimming pool (lobby has pool towels), BBQ, lounge chairs and tables with chairs. Between the second and the third building is courtyard — this is the quiet part of the hotel. The cleaning service in this hotel was OK, only on holiday our room was not clean. This is beachfront hotel — great locations. In walking distance from the hotel are restaurants and shops. In front of the hotel is a bus stop. The bus will take you to Clearwater or St. Petersburg.

Worst hotel experience I have ever encountered! Looked like a nice place from there website but was extremely disappointed. Upon arrival the power was out, then it was restored around 4pm. Once in our room the outlets and fridge weren’t working. Then the bathroom had mold throughout the ceilings. The tip of the iceberg was trying to shower and noticed BROWN water coming out of the shower head. I would highly recommend not to stay here.
