Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, St. Petersburg - Clearwater, FL

"Fitness equipment needs to be fixed"

Super 8 by Wyndham St. Petersburg

8/10 Good

"The continental breakfast left much to be desired. The only yogurt option was strawberry banana, which I couldn't eat due to an allergy. The milk for the cereal was beginning to spoil, which was clearly noticeable by its odor. While the spread included cereal, oatmeal, waffles, toast, and bagels—complete with butter, cream cheese, jelly, and peanut butter—the addition of hot options like eggs, sausage, or bacon would have made a significant difference."
