The hype
Travelers love the 'boutique' smell in the lobby and the modern design, but many are shocked by the $38/day valet parking fee.
AC Hotel by Marriott Clearwater Beach
$170-320 / យប់
កក់នេះ ប្រសិនបើ You want a sleek, grown-up escape that trades chaotic beachfront crowds for a rooftop pool and European minimalism.
ហេតុផលដែលមនុស្សចូលចិត្ត
- No hidden resort fees (a rarity in Clearwater Beach)
- Rooftop pool deck with stunning Intracoastal sunrise and Gulf sunset views
- Modern, clutter-free rooms that feel brand new (opened 2022)
ចម្លងលឿន: It’s a sharp, stylish hotel that feels like a city break, but you'll have to walk a block to actually touch the sand.
ពិនិត្យដោយ @MkmemoryAdventures: I stayed here for a quick recharge and was obsessed with the design. The lobby bar became my go-to spot, and even with the grey weather, the ocean view was so calming. Definitely a spot I'd book again for a chill trip with friends.

Reality check
While generally spotless, a few recent guests (June 2025) reported the rooftop pool water looked murky and showers were out of order.
- You hate carpet and prefer wood-look floors
- You appreciate a quiet, adults-leaning atmosphere over a loud family resort
- You want to be near Pier 60 but not right in the screaming center of it
ភាពស្អាតនិងការថែទាំ
8.4
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dusting on high shelves.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and sleek. Grout is usually pristine, but check the shower drain—hair has been a sporadic complaint.
- Maintenance: New building (2022) means little wear and tear, but check the AC unit—some rattle.
- Linens & towels: Crisp, white, and fairly new. No major complaints about threadbare towels.
- Odors & scents: Strong 'AC Hotels' signature scent in the lobby; rooms are generally fresh and smoke-free.

របៀបរៀបចំលើក

ដំបូះបន្ទប់
ជម្រើសល្អបំផុត
- King Balcony Water View (High Floor): Request floor 6+ to clear the parking garage and get those Intracoastal sunrise views.
- Corner rooms for extra light and slightly more buffer from hallway noise.
បន្ទប់ដែលគួរដេរ
- Floors 2-4 facing the parking garage (your 'view' will be concrete and car headlights).
- Rooms directly under the rooftop bar (10th floor) if you're a light sleeper.
ដំបូះស្នើសុំបន្ទប់ – ចម្លង & បិទ
“I'd love a room on the 6th floor or higher, specifically facing the Intracoastal/Bay side for the sunrise view. Please avoid low floors near the parking garage.”
សំណួរលម្អិត & គន្ធម្លប់ដំណឹង
ព័ត៌មាននិងលម្អិតទាំងអស់ដែលអ្នកចង់ដឹងមុនពេលក្រុង
Is breakfast included?
No. It's a European-style buffet at AC Kitchen for ~$19.95/person. Think croissants and charcuterie, not biscuits and gravy.
How far is the beach?
It's about a 3-5 minute walk (one long block) to the public beach access. You can see the water, but you aren't on it.
Is there a resort fee?
No! This is one of the few Clearwater Beach hotels that does not charge a daily resort fee.
How is the pool?
It's a rooftop pool. Stylish and great for a cocktail, but small. It's 3-4 feet deep—more for dipping than swimming laps.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. Two pets up to 50lbs allowed. $50/night fee + $200 deposit.
Can I self-park?
No, it's valet only ($38/night). The garage is tight and located on floors 2-3 of the building.

៥ របៀងដែលគួរដឹងមុនពេលដែលអ្នកទៅលេង
💡The 'Water View' rooms often face the Intracoastal waterway (sunrise), not the Gulf (sunset)—check your compass!
💡The lobby has a signature scent that some love and others find overpowering.
💡There is no microwave in standard rooms, only a mini-fridge.
💡The bathroom doors are frosted glass barn-style sliders—zero sound privacy.
💡You can rent bicycles directly from the hotel to cruise the beach walk.
