Booked our room a couple months in advance for 2 nights in early May. We were initially excited because we got the rooms for about $80/night and the pictures looked very tropical and inviting. First impression pulling into the hotel/parking lot was that it looked very old and out of style. Once we walked into the lobby to check in... More

This is a great place. The view from our room overlooking the water was great. There are 2 nice pools and a spa. The grounds are well kept and clean. The hotel is obviously an older one but everything in our room was extremely clean, working and comfortable. Folks at the front desk were always helpful directing us to local... More

We liked this hotel although a renovation is needed. The location is really neat. As a previous reviewer stated, it was great fun to watch the boats on the bay. We were only staying one night while visiting family. Marcos, an asst. Mgr., checked us in & gave us an upgrade to a room (319) overlooking the bay. He was... More

Nostalgic you say? Walking into this quaint hotel complex made me feel exactly like that. It emulates Rest and Relaxation and when you are on vacation that is exactly how you want to feel. I had the strong sense that people who visit this hotel come back again and again. The rooms, very adequate and clean. The staff all around... More

The hotel is on Tampa Bay and offers two very nice pools and whirlpool. The beach if very nice for kids to swim and play. (We had no kids this time) The Tikki hut bar on the beach offers a great view of the bay, is situated on the beach and offers outside seating and inside airconditioning. Mark the Bartender... More

I have stayed on St. Pete Beach and prefer this quiet area instead. It is very relaxing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was a nice size and beds very comfortable. They have two pools and one has the most gorgeous setting overlooking the palm trees and water. A great outdoor cabana for drinks watching the sunset... More

This hotel is NOT beachfront. Sure they have a little beach and have done as much as possible with it but not at all what you read. It was Easter weekend so I knoew that it wouldbe pricey but I should have done more research. It is right off the highway which can be good if you have a car... More

We stayed in the "townhouses" at the Magnuson for a week. The suites are huge and have nice kitchenettes. The place is getting old though, and is showing its age. The outside area is very nice though, with 2 nice sized pools, a hot tub, a small playground, and a small beach (more for sunning than swimming). The snack bar... More

We stayed the MLK weekend this last January and it was the best stay ever. This is like a real Florida throwback, only upgraded! Our two 6 year old grandsons love everything about this place, especially fishing off of the seawall and seeing a real LIVE wild dolphin show in the marina. Greeting sailboats as they came in to dock.... More
