The property seems to be undergoing some intense renovations. The room was extremely clean however, the rest of the resort was less than average, especially for the price per night. The pictures online to not clearly nor accurately represent the property.

This property is very tired and in need of TLC. We had a very loud rattle in A/C unit - no way anyone could sleep with the noise. They technically fixed the a/c but it was still soooo loud so they moved us to new room. It's just really tired place - wobbly lamps, loose facets, old bathrooms, chipped paint, Smelly hallways - it's needs a lot of TLC.

At the cost of $370. a night, the room should be clean. The staff was friendly. Food was good for breakfast at the restaurant. A disappointing experience overall.

Man at the front desk is definitely not the warm and friendly type. The smell of something dead greets you when you enter the elevator. Enter our room which is very underwhelming, floors look dirty, outdoor patio and 1 chair are dirty and unkept. The best part is our supposedly freshly cleaned room has about 10 squares of toilet paper. We were definitely put in the junky building of the hotel. Not worth the price of the stay AT ALL!!!

Front desk was very welcoming. Room clean and well appointed. Lovely water views. My only complaint was the soundproofing was probably the worst I’ve ever experienced in a nicer hotel like this. It sounded like my neighbors were in the room with me and I could hear every toilet flush from above and next door very loudly. I’m not sure if this was due to my being in what appeared to be a connecting room with a door.

The facility was highly recommended and was conveniently located for our purposes. The room was very comfortable and clean, but it could use some updating. Only negative of our stay was the first day; after traveling since very early morning, we went to the hotel restaurant (which was practically empty) for lunch. The food was good, but it took 35 minutes to receive our meals, a basic salad and a grilled chicken sandwich. Fortunately, we were not on a strict schedule, but the server had no way of knowing that.

Very old hotel. The Athena elevator had a really toxic smell in it. We had to cover our noses when we used it. There was mold visible on the walls. We put out the breakfast request before bed with our selections and time to deliver. They never brought it. I called them an hour after it was supposed to be delivered and they hadn’t even started making it. They weren’t even apologetic. They actually acted inconvenienced. So I just cancelled it. I would never recommend it to anyone. The check in was easy and they were nice though.

My daughter and I were there for 2 nights and it was HORRIBLE.
First night we arrived, the first room had a strong smoke smell , so they agreed and moved us to another room, then that room had no hot water. The next morning we got a call that they were going to move us again because they had pipe issues. We were moved to a third room. When we came back to hotel Saturday night, we were exhausted to only see the bathroom floor was flooded.
I was beyond tired to complain at this point and didn’t want to move for the forth time since we had a flight at 5am.
When I brought up to the manager‘s attention, how inconvenienced this was to be moved three times in less than 24 hours, he said there’s nothing he can do about it, that he didn’t know anything that was going on.
It’s so unfortunate how bad our experience was in safety harbor.

This year the only New Year's Eve entertainment was the $259 special event deal. There was NO entertainment in the regular bar/lounge area this year, like the last 2 years with the Latin ban from Tampa. That was very disappointing! Not everyone (especially older folks) can pop for $259 each.

New Year's Eve 2026! Great band but smaller venue and a few decorations.. Buffet was okay but much better in past years... Cocktails were good and staff was attentive with clearing tables. Alcohol and steps down to dance floor are not a good mix.😳. Our room was renovated and very nice.
Buffet breakfast not worth the price. They were still setting it up @ 9:30 am. Food was tepid, and breakfast meats were like beef jerky. No butter or syrup for French toast that was not in a warming tray. No creamer on table for coffee ☕.
We will rethink our next New Year's Eve party location..

The staff were certainly not warm and welcoming. Not one smile from the lady that checked us in, she seemed very stressed. The room was freezing cold. I called maintenance and front desk several times, when he finally came, he said it was because it was old. The water from the shower was barely a trickle. Also, on day of checkout, 11am housekeeper knocked on room door telling us we would charged an extra night if we did not leave immediately. We were not impressed, we used to frequent this property but we will not return, there are far nicer, welcoming hotels in the area. I am also a Wyndham Diamond member.

The front desk confused our reservation. They told us we had 2 reservations that were prepaid. We spent about 2 hours trying to figure this out and contact whoever we needed to resolve this. There was only one reservation and their wrong information caused us to spend about about 2 hours trying to resolve this. They said the reservation was a third party named hotelbeds.com, which I have never heard of. It was very stressful because we tried to cancel the phantom second reservation before the check in date, the date we checked in. Thanks for any feedback.

The room we stayed in was in an old and run-down section of the hotel. Only 2 very flat pillows provided and mattress was uncomfortable. No complementary water provided and when I called front desk to ask about water, I was directed to a water filter machine by the elevators that didn’t have cups. I expected that even a basic room from a facility that sits directly over a mineral water spring could afford their guests with 2 small bottles of water. The outside pools were not heated, perhaps broken. The outside tiki pool’s complimentary water jugs were empty and when I brought it to the attention of staff-it remained empty and I had to wait in line for a water refill each time. The Safety Harbor area is charming and I’ll plan on a return trip.

The pool area was spacious and pretty clean. The room was clean. I asked for more towels since they only clean the room every two days and I was only there two nights, and I never received fresh towels. The tv was missing the cable and I could not get local news. That oasis was fixed right away. There were no 50 minute massage slots open only 25 minute massages. The whole reason going there was to relax and get a massage and I didn't get a massage. I probably will not go back there.

This is a beautiful historic property. It reminds me of the way Florida resorts used to be. Service everywhere. It's very clean, and offers everything. Breakfast room service is available along with a pool patio bar and a solid menu of favorientertes from the restaurant. I had seen some other reviews commenting on a door hinge with rust on it, or other imperfections. This is an older property with old Florida charm, plus it sits on the waterway. What would one expect? Here's what you can expect. An excellent stay with food and drink available everywhere at all times, actual doormen, entertainment, a quaint downtown with some pretty surprising fun activity on the weekend evenings, pleasant staff, and very clean accomodations. Very nice stay, and we will return.

Location is nice. Close to shops, restaurants, walking path, etc. Free parking! Rooms were big, but the door had to be pulled shut forcefully. Filled out the card for breakfast, hang it on the door, but never received and was told it was due to them not knowing which room it was. I am not sure why the person that pulled the card would not have written that information, if it was needed. I thought I had done my part. Great burger at the pool though. It wasn't anything fancy. If anything the structure itself could use some attention inside and out.

A bit rundown, but great service

This seems like it was once a pretty top-notch resort, but it's a little rundown. The AC system in our room wasn't really working: when we arrived, it was on the coldest setting and couldn't be lowered. A technician fiddled with it, said it was an old system with a lot of problems, and set it in such a way that it then never went below about 75 degrees. The heating system also kept the hallway at a chilly 60ish. Both the sinks and the shower had to run for a full five minutes before even getting warm. On the plus side, room service was incredibly prompt, surprisingly reasonable in price, and delivered by really friendly staff. The valet parking guys and bellhops were all really great: friendly, helpful, very professional. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean and well-appointed, if the furniture was a bit dated. We had a meal at The Fountain grill, and the staff who tended to us were really great, especially considering that our little one was being very fussy. We apologized for her loud behavior, and staff were incredibly understanding about it. Overall, I'd say this place has seen better days, but they still offer what counts: old-world hospitality. I would definitely go back, even with the cold room and clunky hot water.

Well, let me start with what I didn't like. The people at the Front desk were professional (to a point), but also NO passion or heart. Were kind of rude and looked down upon, if you weren't dressed like money. My five days there I spent a lot of money at SHR. I'm thinking this next guy was the manager at the restaurant (older gentleman / bald, with glasses) and this guy was very rude. My son and I have been sitting at a table for 25 minutes with no one helping us (This was the Saturday before Mother's Day), and he had to make a little sarcastic remark about after the 25 minute-wait, he says, \"Now look at all the attention you're getting.\" I had to deal with dirty looks the whole time. We paid and we tipped well, even though this is the customer service my son and I were getting. Very disappointing. Okay, one bright spot was \"Eddy,\" very nice and outgoing. And shout out to the nicest and genuine people in that resort was \"Housekeeping.\" Also, the resort had \"Spectrum\" internet, ...and that was \"always\" cutting out. This was horrible. So what went well? Besides some awful customer service, the food was \"Amazing.\" BEST eggs benedict I've ever had. Drinks, pool side were fabulous, and I liked the amenities that came with the resort, even though the messuages were fully booked and the young brunette lady there didn't bother to tell me the next available appt. The location of this Resort was great and our room was wonderful with exception of couldn't watch any local news.

A little disappointed

Our room and the hotel lobby were very nice. The pool deck was the dirtiest I've ever seen. We could'nt get over how dirty it was. Very disappointing because the food and drinks at the outdoor bar were very good. The spa area is in need of renovations. It looks shabby unlike the beautiful lobby. One of our outdoor patio chairs was ripped and we couldn't use it. We requested a new one but said they didn't have any replacements. The hotel wasn't fully booked. They could have borrowed one from an unoccupied room but didn't choose to.
