US-19 Corridor (Pinellas Park)
On US Highway 19 N on the central Pinellas Park commercial strip between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, St. Petersburg-Clearwater (3.7, 519 reviews) is the town's single hot-tub-search hotel — a 3-star suburban Radisson-brand hotel with pool, free breakfast (with fresh afternoon cookies per a 5-star guest), free parking, fitness center, patio, kids-stay-free program, business center and children's books/DVDs/music. Subratings run 4.0-4.2 with cleanliness (4.2) strongest and value/location (4.0) weakest. A 5-star recent guest wrote 'very nice place to stay. Very clean, great complimentary breakfast, and fresh cookies in the afternoon. Staff is very helpful and pleasant as well. Spacious rooms are an added plus,' and another shouted out the manager and pool. Candid 1-star recent flags include 'won't return deposit' and one guest with Priceline-prepaid reservation issues at check-in after four hours of I-75 traffic. Best for US-19 corridor budget-lodging travelers, St. Pete/Clearwater business travelers and Gulf-beach day-trip families wanting a car-based Tampa Bay budget base with set expectations about the property's mixed feedback.
