Long Key Beach Resort Motel — Hotel in Saint Pete Beach

Please beware of this place if you have children. The people who “have been coming here for years and come every year” will absolutely run you off. They want silence by the pool and will expect your children to stand still in the pool. You may not think this is the motels fault, but it 100% is. They have catered to these people, and these people act like they own the place. We had two terrible encounters with elderly guests who called our children names and called them disrespectful because they accidentally got two drops of water splashed on them. Our children are not mean or disrespectful or awful and I promise I am not just saying that. Mind you, we kept our children at the beach from 9am-4pm so these people could enjoy their pool time. They were at the pool when we went to the beach and still there when we came back from the beach, but they absolutely hated us letting our children get into the pool while they just stood there drinking their alcohol acting like they owned the place. However, these people did have children with them and when they were throwing the football with their dad and jumping in and what not, we seriously did not care. That’s what kids do, just our kids weren’t allowed to according to these people. We talked to the owner of the motel and ended up choosing to leave because we wanted our kids to enjoy their vacation and be able to swim. The owner talked to the trouble family that he knew so very well and they were “nice people”. These “nice people” never told him how they acted or what they had done. In the end, my family has been coming to this motel since the 80s and that doesn’t give me a single right to act like these people did, but I will say… this very elderly generation the owner caters to, will soon die off, and his business will go under. He has caused these people to run off the younger generation, and these people will one day no longer be here and he will be standing there with empty rooms wondering what happened. Also, the owner accused me of not turning in my key, and I turned it in when we told him we were leaving. Hopefully he checked the cameras because I am not a liar. He did claim he would have to call a locksmith and that would cost him money, but I think he forgot how many years I have been coming there… I am very observant.. there were two extra keys to my room hanging on the side of the desk where all the other keys were. I think he also forgot there’s a cleaning lady who comes every day and I’d assume she’d have a key… because she cleaned our room while we were there… but none of that matters because I know I turned in my key. He just wanted to try to charge us money since we left early from our stay. He was kind enough the one single time to offer us our money back for the rest of the week. We were supposed to stay a week, but because of the hateful people, we only stayed 3 nights. I will say, even though he did give our money back, it wasn’t without making us feel like it was our fault he offered to give it back. It was weird. He offered, we accepted, then he began to tell us it isn’t about the money but how he could’ve rented the place for the 4 extra days. Which seems like money to me. I am also fully aware that the owner is active on his reviews, so I know he will say something back, so be careful in listening to whatever it is he may say because I don’t have much faith in someone who “needed to call a locksmith” for rooms he has multiple keys to. I hate that the place I loved growing up in, is now a place I will...

I have always loved coming here with friends and family. Always great memories to be had. I'm not the only one who is a repeat vacationer here either. It's like an extended family of folks who come every year and it's wonderful meeting them all. Everyone is friendly. There are several style rooms to fit everybody's needs. From a solo adventure to a family getaway. There are rooms that have a full kitchen equipped with a stove, microwave, full refrigerator, pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. The shower has great water pressure which is always a plus and there's at least 1 television. AC does it's job and it's a very cozy experience. Heading towards the beach, you first encounter the pool and lounge area. It's always clean and overlooks the beach. There's a 2 story outlook right there also which faces the sunset and makes for a great spot to view from. Good for tanning too if you don't want to walk towards the beach. Shuffle board down below. Propane grill if you want to grill out. It really is a vacation home in paradise. Roman, the owner, is a great guy who you'll see throughout the day in the office or making his rounds. The office also has a computer if needed and wonderful fresh coffee in the morning (even though your room has a coffee maker already). If you're looking to get away to St Pete Beach, look no further than Long Key...
