Bottom Line

The 25-room Palm Pavilion Inn is a value beachfront hotel within walking distance of several restaurants, shops, and parks in Clearwater Beach. The property offers simple, if bland, rooms with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, as well as apartments with fully equipped kitchens, some with furnished patios and lovely ocean views. Beach access plus an outdoor pool are available, and there is a great on-site grill and bar with live entertainment daily. There's also a small gift shop and a rooftop deck provides more space for sun lounging and ocean views. There is no business center or elevator, however. There are several similar properties in the area, such as the Enchanted Inn on the Bay and the Ebb Tide Motel, so travelers might want to compare rates.

Oyster Hotel Review

Palm Pavilion Inn on Clearwater Beach

Scene

Budget beachfront hotel with exceptional ocean views

The three-story Palm Pavilion Inn mixes a beach feel with Art Deco touches with its brightly colored facade of teal and lime green. A welcoming atmosphere permeates throughout this simple, budget property, where a couple of outdoor chairs and tables flank the entrance to the pleasant, bright lobby lined with beige tiles and wallpaper. Though decor is a bit dated and bland, the space is full of natural light and provides comfortable seating as well as a flat-screen TV. The hotel's restaurant, Palm Pavilion Beachside Grill & Bar, is located in a separate, neighboring building right on the beach and has a tropical feel with wood floors, bamboo columns, and colorful bar stools, as well as fish and bright, tropical prints adorning the colorful walls. Aluminum siding on the bar and walls give the space a beach shack feel. There's plenty of outdoor seating on a covered deck that offers fantastic ocean views.

Location

Located on the beach, within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and Pier 60 Park

The beachfront property is located in Clearwater Beach on the Gulf of Mexico and within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and Pier 60 Park. The Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a five-minute drive, while Sand Key Park and Harborview Center are around a 10-minute drive. Both the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport and the Tampa International Airport are around 30 minutes away. This hotel is across the street from the Clearwater Fire Department, so guests may hear occasional sirens.
