Best Western Plus Yacht Harbor Inn

From the moment at check-in to the time I check-out, this place delivered. I was extremely happy that I chose BWP at the last minute before heading down to Florida for my vacation. The staff was exceptional. I stayed in room #210, the furthest west end of the property. Great views on both sides. Balcony faced the Marina and the back walkway was facing St Joseph Sound. The upscale restaurant was just feet away, however, it wasn't noisy in the least. The surroundings were terrific, the wildlife abundant and the views were perfect. The sunset could be viewed off the back corridor and it was stunning. My room was spacious, well decorated for a beachy atmosphere (4 large plantation shutters to make it feel very southern) and the exposed beams and glass window at the top of the room were a sight to behold. I really enjoyed the inside area of this room. Very comfortable beds and a good sized TV. I also liked that there was a front door to the very spacious balcony with a table and 2 chairs. There was a back door that led to the long walkway with benches to view the water, private docks, Honeymoon and Caladesi Island and the wildlife. Even saw a manatee for 2 days. The dorm sized refrigerator, coffee maker and the med sized microwave were a nice touch. Lots of storage space. The bathroom was updated, however it is very cramped. Tiled floors throughout the entire room. Bedding, room and bathroom were very clean As I stated earlier, the staff was exceptional. They were very eager to please and they did so. Always polite, witty, funny and very friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed a full, hot breakfast each day. They had most everything anyone could want for breakfast. The lady who took care of it daily was such a sweet woman. She was always helping others, restocking fresh food, chatting with customers and cleaning. The seating area was always clean. The grounds were fantastic. Palms, native tropical plants adorned the entire place. Pool area was nice considering it was so near the parking/street area. The landscape made the pool area very private. I was so glad I chose BWP in Dunedin. So glad, that now I have found a hotel I will continue to visit every time I come to the Clearwater area for vacations. I highly recommend visiting BWP Yacht Harbor Inn. less

The location is nice, but the shower in the bathroom had missing grout, mold, a hole by the shower spout, and very sloppy workmanship on a prior repair attempt by the tub nozzle. This place needs an update. less

I was a bit nervous if this would be the right place for my son and I to stay during our visit to the Dunedin/Clearwater, Florida area. After first reading the reviews and then pulling up in the hotel, those nervous feelings were lost. This place was exactly the way I hoped it would be. The area was right in the center of a wonderful city. Dunedin, FL is just beautiful and family friendly. The Dunedin Marina was across a small road access next to the parking lot of BWP. It made it an easy access to see the sights around the water. Everyone is in the heart of the city and Edgewater Park is right across from the hotel. The downtown area is a couple of blocks to the east of the hotel and that made for some good walks and shopping. Restaurants were a 10 min walk or less. The Parrotdise Dolphin Cruise was a 2 min walk across the parking lot. So much to do and see from this area of the hotel. Water views of the sound on the back side of the room and Marina views in the front. Perfect. The room we stayed in was just beautiful. Exposed beams and tastefully decorated, both on the walls and furniture. Truly a beachy feel. Good size main room and that includes an apartment sized refrigerator and a med sized microwave oven. The balcony faced south to the Marina, so getting outside at night was a pleasure. Lots of activity, but not loud in any sense. The area also has the Clearwater Ferry that will take you to Clearwater, Clearwater Beach and even the Clearwater Aquarium. That comes in handy and it is under $8 each way. What a way to see St Joseph's Sound. One of the best places to have breakfast is the BWP full breakfast area right at the hotel. It serves hot and cold items. Everything was excellent here, food service and cleanliness. The staff I encountered were superior. They went out of their way to please. Very happy people and glad to be part of the Best Western staff. Everything here was fantastic and I will definitely be back again in the future. It will be the hotel I will make my Florida vacation plans. Of course, I did encounter a couple of small issues (one... the bathroom is very tiny. Only one person at best can fit. There other minor issue was the shower faucet. It could only be turned on for hot or cold. There was no mixing temp of water, so I took only cold/cool showers.) Other than this, it is a fantastic place to stay. Highly recommend staying here less

Great facility. Loved the room - had a king on the 2nd floor with great views including a private deck. Breakfast was great - hot and a lot of variety. Close to downtown Dunedin - everything was in walking distance so once we arrived we didn't move our vehicle until check out time. less

Stayed for 1 night in the hotel, we chose it for its great location right on the water, the staff are very friendly and accommodating but the room was worn and badly need of renovation, in the room on the second floor 224) there is a high angled window without blinds as well as a glass block feature also with no way to cover it, the result is that you cannot make the room dark. Then there is the room air conditioning, it is a window mounted shaker and it is so loud that it wakes you when it starts or stops. The tub/shower has been renovated in the cheapest possible way by removing the old faucet and replacing it with a new one but instead of replacing the ceramic time, they added a few rows of white tiles which are now black and moldy, pretty gross. I can not understand why the owners of such a great located hotel would not make the necessary proper repairs instead of an obvious cheap out. We will not stay there again. less
