I was visiting and stayed here. Check in was quick and easy, front desk was very nice, and the rooms were clean. Good location with restaurants and Walmart within walking distance, and a Wawa very close by. Would definitely stay again.

Avoid this hotel at all costs

Reviewed By Mark K

We stayed two nights in January...it's simply dirty! So much so, we left a day early and unfortunately the hotel would not refund our money. All of the floors are tile and when we walked from the bedroom area to the bathroom and back...and then checked the bottoms of our feet...they were very dirty....had to wash in the bathtub and used towel to get into bed. It's an older hotel with really no amenities. We chose this only because it was in a convenient location..wish we had decided on another facility and driven further.

Pearl Beach Inn

The Pearl Beach Inn – Nestled at the very edge of the Gulf of Mexico on Manasota Key in Englewood, Florida, this quaint, clean, waterfront Inn is uniquely suited for those who truly wish to ‘get away’.Manasota Key offers a truly unique location to rest, refresh and rejuvenate. This seven mile stretch of land, connected at the north and south by bridges to the mainland, is home to quaint seaside homes and stunning waterfront mansions. We are one of only a few resorts providing overnight accommodations, especially on the more tranquil north end of the key. Pearl Beach Inn offers you the location from which to enjoy the true beauty of the surf, sand, sea birds, sunsets and sweet sounds of the gentle Gulf surf. Miles of soft sand beach are yours --- stroll the entire length of the Key, search for beach treasures such as fossilized shark’s teeth, elegant and delicate shells, or simply bask in the sun or relax in a hammock.Our beachside inn consists of twelve waterfront efficiencies (1 with a stove, others with microwaves) and one suite, which has a full kitchen and room for 6. All accomodations are furnished in a casual tropical decor. We pride ourselves on our excellent staff…they are the key to making your stay just perfect. We can help you arrange outings such as fishing excursions, a day of golf, or a kayak tour of beautiful Lemon Bay. Just ask…we are here for you!If you are looking for the perfect place to reconnect with family or that special someone, you’ve found it!What better way to enjoy time with loved ones than in our beautiful beach setting? Away from it all and yet only a short drive to shopping, dining and various unique venues that are uniquely Florida’s West coast and uniquely Englewood. Located between Sarasota and Fort Myers on the West Gulf Coast of Florida, we are a world away and yet easy to get to.We look forward to hearing from you.

Earlier review said B&B on a beach and that is about right.

Simple but attractive setting and a pleasnt room with good seating and with a balcony, Very helpful staff,comfortable bed,very clean and well furnished with good simple kitchen area for breakfasts (bring supplies). Sadly we had iffy weather-sea fog,winds little rain so not the beach stay we had hoped for but the room was comfortable enough to sit in and read.

Run down hotel with disgusting smelly rooms not the quality I expected from this corporation. Customer service was talking to a machine kiosk, not my kind of customer service as they are not on site. Had to switch rooms because it smelled so bad.

Worst of All

Reviewed By beandme4

The photos on the website make this Motel look fairly good but are a total misrepresentation. This was the dirtiest room I have ever stayed in. Cigarette burns in the blanket, filthy baseboards and tile floor, no lamp on the nightstand, no coffee maker, no hairdryer... DO NOT STAY HERE. It was so bad we checked out a day early but they refused to give us a credit. Very third-world trashy motel. Never saw a family or kids or anyone at the pool.
