The hotel was close to a party venue I was attending. I knew it would be a late night, so I didn't want to drive all the way home. My room was ready, when I arrived, and clean. The staff was very nice and welcoming. It's not a fancy hotel, but I wasn't looking for that. It's an older facility, with the typical musty Florida smell. I didn't check out the pool, the beach bar, or the restaurant onsite, so I can't speak to those.

The safe in the room , the frig, I was able to put my medication in it and not worry the rest of my stay. The staff was very cordial. The restaurant on the marina was good and so was the service. Location was easy as well. We will be back. ty :) I would of liked a microwave in the room for a late night snack. (popcorn). Water bottles a little pricey $1.89 each.

Great to have marina available for our boat. We were there for 3 days and 2 of the 3 mornings we had no hot water. Rooms could be much cleaner and linens didn't feel clean. Stains present on linens.

Shortly after check-in a maintenance man came in unannounced and started working on the toilet while my wife and I were trying to relax; he kept leaving and coming back because his manager kept calling him away. Two hours later, after he finished the job, it took 3 calls to the front desk to have a staff member come clean up the toilet water, rocks, and whatever else managed to end up on our bathroom floor. Even after someone came to clean, the bathroom was still covered in toilet repair gunk. There were wrappers and cups found in drawers from previous visitors, hair left in the "clean" towels we were issued, and stains all over the blankets. Overall it is the worst experience I have ever had, it was worse than sketchy one-star hotels I have stayed at. The staff was very unprofessional, things should be taken care of before the room is issued out; the place left my wife and I constantly feeling gross, the cleaning people were terrible; and I hated every moment I was there .

Location good, staff very helpful. Wifi worked well. The room was very damp and smelled like it hadn't been used in awhile. Blow dryer in room did not work and looked as thought it had burned up way before my stay. No extra blow dryers to use. The restaurant was not open for coffee in the early morning before my departure and, although there was a coffeemaker provided in the room, the coffee was really bitter.

The entire staff was extremely accommodating. The restaurant at the hotel was very good and very nice. We loved the view. More elevators would have been helpful for my handicapped mother in law.

The front desk staff was really great. When we found a roach in our room, they bent over backwards to move us. The pools are also very nice. The view of the water was amazing. The fact that I found a roach in my room and had to be moved was inconvenient. Their "beach" was disgusting and very small. It was definitely misleading advertisement. It was covered in seaweed and overall was just not an enjoyable area. The intersection to turn onto the road the road to get to the hotel is very confusing.

Safe and easy to score a room for a last minute booking. Rooms are dark and in the center of a parking lot so they're loud.

We did not come for the resort, but because it was near Eckerd College. Facility seemed a bit dated, but well maintained. Rooms were clean, quiet, staff was friendly, and the amenities seemed extensive, but we were just there for a quick overnight. I would stay here again.

I was told when I went to check in that there were no rooms available until later in the afternoon because check-in is after 4 PM. But then I saw two other people being given rooms and I asked why they were given a room and it wasn't. I asked is it because of the different fare that we paid and the girl said yes. Then she took back and said oh no we just didn't have any rooms when you asked which was two minutes before. Then they gave me a room. A/c way loud.

A fairly clean bed. Do not be fooled by the expensive price you are going to pay for this place. You get nothing in return. No beach worth visiting unless you enjoy counting the dead fish on it while holding your nose. It's to wonder how they can charge these rates for something like this!

Price was good. The staff were nice and helpful. There was an issue with a drunk guy walking around the pool at night but the security guy was very kind and helpful and showed him off the property. The "beach" was man made. it smelled terrible wouldnt even think about swimming in the water.

What a wonderful 2 week stay. My mother, aunt, and I decided to take an all-girls vacation. So glad we decided to go with the Magnuson Marina Cove. Super friendly and accommodating staff, the room was clean and pretty, the 2 pools, beach front, shuffleboard and tennis courts, bar, snack bar, and restaurant were a very short distance from our room. The food at the restaurant was excellent! We dined there several times. The grounds were very clean and pretty. I will certainly be staying at this hotel again.

The price was good through Kayak. Liked most of the staff. Servers/host was very nice and helpful. Excellent service in restaurant! I like the quiet solitude. Room maid was very good and honest. And I repeat "Honest" Would come again because of her. "Denene" I think. Forgive me if I got her name wrong. Was a little old and in need of serious updating. The bar tender was inconsiderate of noise in restaurant moving her cart through walkway for the tiki hut while on computer. No private area for business conversation.

The smell from the decaying seaweed at the waters edge, made the back side of the patio, yard, and beach front unusable. My kids would not go back there and certainly wouldn't get in the water there. That needs to be cleaned up. This was actually one of the features to choosing this location, and we were unable to use it.

Location was perfect for acess to St Petersberg Bch, Fort De Soto, and Tropicana Field. Rooms are outdated. And little beach area had a lot of seaweed.

In spite of appearing built in the 60s, room smelled clean. It was not musky or mildly. The outside facilities seemed ok The bathroom had hairs in the tub and was not clean. Same for the bedroom area. If it were not midnight when I checked , I would have request another room. The bed was lumpy and seemly old and squeaky. Room with a view for us meant room next to a old dock not beach. Save your money do not stay here.

The pool was nice. The staff was friendly overall. The beds we full size and slept HORRIBLE! The pillows were the foam pieces kind and were horrible! When we asked to be upgraded to a king bedded room, we were told we booked through a third party and were treated as such.

The description online said the hotel was "on the beach," but what they failed to mention the "beach" was 100 yards of man made beach that was covered in rotting seaweed. The room was decent, but there was left over shampoo in the shower and the air conditioning unit was shoved up high in a corner so the whole room did not cool down. Over all we were quite disappointed with our stay.
