AC Hotel by Marriott Clearwater Beach

Multiple guests described rooms and public areas as clean and well maintained; a few incidents (room left open after housekeeping, missed sheet refresh) slightly lowered the score.

Many reviews praise staff—notably Front Office Manager Lakeisha Phillips—for outstanding, attentive service; there are some reports of isolated rude interactions and service lapses, but exceptional staff response and problem resolution dominate.

Consistently noted as excellent — walking distance to the beach, shopping and restaurants; proximity to attractions is a clear strength.

Rooms are described as modern, spacious and generally comfortable (good beds, clean); some guests reported issues like flat pillows and low shower pressure, which modestly reduce the score.

Amenities receive mixed feedback: pool and rooftop bar hours/availability and pool bar closures disappointed multiple guests; limited shade by pool and some size/expectation mismatches noted; valet/parking service works well according to some reviews.

Several guests felt the stay was overpriced for what was included (breakfast often not included, unexpected high deposit/parking charges), leading to below-average value perception.

Breakfast and F&B received repeated criticism for limited variety, lack of typical hot/meat options, and being expensive for what is offered.

Overall stays skew positive due to excellent location, clean rooms and standout staff, but recurring issues with value, certain amenities and occasional service lapses produce a mixed but generally favorable overall impression.
