Top Eckerd College Hotel Reviews

The Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"Great beachfront location, with two pools, friendly staff, and very good food."

Sirata St. Pete Beach Resort, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The only downside is our bathroom tub. It’s very concave. I had to stay focused on staying in the middle of the tub while showering. Any shift to right or left, I would probably fall. I’m not handicap but thanks to the bars to grab onto. My best friend reference that tub to being similar to being in a canoe."

Inn on the Beach - 18+ only

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, easy walk to beach, beach chairs and umbrellas are almost new, bikes available, no pool but not needed, a cooler/beach towels/ beach bag and ice are provided. Easy walk to restaurants"

The Beach Haven Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Looking forward to the next trip out there."

Beach House Suites by the Don CeSar

10/10 Excellent

"Location and beach"

Peninsula Bed & Cocktails

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The service requests were answered by text. That did not make it more convenient, because after I phoned in a request for an iron, before I left, I still had to request an iron when I got there. Also the elevator was out of service or maybe there was no elevator and I had to carry my luggage up to the second floor after a long and exhausting flight. Food is excellent. Overall it was a great stay."

Bayview Plaza Waterfront Resort

8/10 Good

"I couldn’t find the ice machine"
