Inn on the Gulf Hotel — Hotel in Hudson

I wish we could leave a better review as we had such high hopes for this place! We came here for our anniversary as a local get away to rest and recharge and we did anything but recharge or rest. When we first got to the room there was a large piece of the tiling completely missing on the floor and I almost tripped and fell when I stepped in it, as it was just inside the door. The room had a very strong smell to it, and it wasn't the good kind. It's hard to even describe. When we took a shower we noticed that the shower curtain rod was falling off of the wall. The beds are new, so they haven't been worn in yet. Not a huge issue, so we shrugged and tried to go to sleep. That's when the cars started. All night long, until 2:30 in the morning, cars trying to race eachother and out Rev the others engine, sat directly outside our room. We finally got to sleep about 3am, only to be woken up violently by either the air conditioner or a faulty fire alarm. It was such a loud grating noise, but we couldn't tell where it was coming from. Needless to say, it took quite a while for us to fall back asleep, at which point we didn't sleep soundly either because of everything else that had happened that night. The staff was great though, so I didn't want to give an awful review, just an honest one. We talked with them about these things the next morning, and they apologised and said they would block off our room and have the manager contact us. We never got a call, text, or email of any kind though, so that is why I gave a lower raining for service. The room was clean in appearance, and the sunset was nice. The beach is tiny though, so don't expect something big that you can actually sit on or hang out at when you go. Most of the water you can't...

Ok guys... The pictures you see on here look good and all. But I'm here to tell you, the pictures do not do this place justice!!! This place was just a gem, recently updated rooms, super clean, with two rooms, much like a suite. A large living room with a TV and a fridge and microwave, a couch and a table and chairs. There's even a table and chairs outside of the room if you (or someone with you) smokes. Great views, right across the street from a beach park. There's an awesome restaurant on site! Great food at decent prices. A bar at the restaurant, and another bar across the street, next the beach. You could stay here for several days and never have to drive anywhere! If you are looking for a break from the normal hotels at about the same price as the big name brand spots, then this is the place for you! Parking can be a bit tricky, but the staff always finds a spot for the hotel guests. Overall, I don't have anything planned in the near future for the Tampa area, but I will definitely be back...

In on the gulf... more like inn on the disappointment. This was one of the worst experiences ive ever had in a restaurant and ive been to many restaurants. The soup i got was disgusting and was a joke. Secondly the salad was bland and boring like they just picked lettuce and put it in a bowl pathetic! The fish was a another terrible joke in the in comedy show i witnessed this evening it was cold,bland, and tasteless even betty crocker could do better. The alfredo and chicken was a hate crime on a plate it was like stevie wonder put it together awful stuff. The best part was the bread and that says alot. Lastly the server was incompetent and the chef's were even worse we were waiting there for about 3 hours and got nothing, this was overall a failure in the cooking industry and this place should be put out of its misery. Bye bye inn on the gulf no more...
