Call it a "Stay-cation" I live on the mainland of Pinellas,Co. I decided to "get away" - without going too far away. Just over the bridge on Clearwater Beach is the Ritz Resort place where I booked a room for two days over the weekend. I found the room to be very clean with a really nice small kitchenette -...

1st, thanks for nice review. I have nice bottle of wine for you next time you want to stay here and visit our beautiful beach. We do have soap and shampoo in the office, and I have spoken to the guy who works evenings as to where it is located. Your response here has prompted me to have a sign... More

Had a great time at the Ritz Resort Motel in Clearwater Beach for a week long stay. Veronika put me on the 5th floor and the view was awesome looking over the beach and gulf! The room was spotless thanks to their wonderful cleaning lady! And if you had any questions about restaurants, shops, or tours they gave you wonderful... More

Thank you for the very complimentary review. I am happy you enjoyed your stay and wish to return. This is always our end goal - and how we have built our solid repeat guest business. I have a nice bottle of wine chilled and waiting for your return. Veronika More

The Ritz was a big surprise. I had little expectations paying an average of 80 dollars a night for a beach front view. The place is rather old but that’s not an issue. You are right on the main strip and 30 meters or less away from the beautiful beach and ocean. We were here for a wedding and spent... More

Thank you for taking your time to write and share such a nice review. True, we are NOT the Hyatt, but then we are about 1/3rd or 1/4th the price. Same Beach, same restaurants, same shops etc... and if you really feel like walking a few blocks to go to the Hyatt restaurant SHOR and spend 7.00 for an egg... More

No, it's not a brand-new motel. No, it's not super-hip or fancy. No, they don't serve any breakfast. No, the TV set was rather old. And no, their pool (yes they have one) is rather shady. No, they don't have a 24hour lobby ... But it's an absolutely wonderful location 1 min walking distance to a wonderful beach, people are... More

Thanks for your ACCURATE review.... if it makes you feel better we can charge you more next time...just kidding! We do try to offer vacationing couples & families a good value for their hard earned vacation dollar. However property taxes, and up keep are not cheap. Being clean - friendly and helpful however costs us nothing. More

This year was our second visit to Ritz Resort Motel. This year to our delight the rooms on the third floor have been updated. The Motel is in a wonderful location as the beach is across the road and Crabby's on the Beach is a short walk away. Pier 60 is just a few blocks away. We plan to return... More

Positives - less than a block from the beach; many places within walking distance. Negatives - a very old style motel; a little much for a stay there.

We spent a week at the Ritz this March, 11-18, 2012 and had a blast. The hotel exceeded our expectations with its fabulous location just steps to the beach, great owners and staff, and spacious and clean rooms.This place has a few years behind it but you know going in that your not staying at the Hyatt. The place is... More

Why stay at a fancy resort down the road when the unpretentious Ritz awaits you? Veronica, the owner/manager, awaits you with open arms. I had a fourth floor room with a nice view of the Gulf. Room are very clean and adequate. Right across the street from the beach: you will be on the sand in 1 minute. Veronica and... More

The positives: The motel was very close to the beach, right across the street. The pool area was decent, although the concrete above the pool was in need of some repair. The hotels/motels have towing companies checking for unauthorized parking and they will tow you and charge $200 to get your car back, so you always had a parking spot.... More

The Hotel Ritz is changing their name to Westmont Inn. Very good hotel price (under $100.00) to be near the beach & local restaurants or other beach related activities. As far as the hotel, it is clean, but old (1950’s?) , with little modern renovations. However, upkeep, general maintenance (new flooring, painting etc.), is a on going work priority for... More
