Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort on Sand Key
The accommodation was quiet and there were plenty of New Year's events, so it was a good place to stay. The sea view was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave the room. I also liked the proximity to the beach. It is equipped with a small sink, refrigerator, and coffee machine.
