Hotel Civilia Lakeside by Civilia Golf Retreat

Don’t know if they forgot I came because my room wasn’t clean. The bed was no done, trash in the trash can, empty bottle on the table and dirty towels in the bathtub. The room itself was good. There is not much to do in Clearwater city in winter but the national park is amazing.

The room was very nice. We were there on a really cold day the heatwrs kept us toasty. Theu were short staffed so check in was a hour later. But other than that id stay there again. The beds were comfy nice tv. My famipy and i are happy.

The rooms have been newly renovated. The beds are comfortable and new. Reception was very friendly and the price was very good compared to other Motels. Every room has a view of the lake and parking is free. I highly recommend staying here.

I knew it would be a motel, but the welcome email and the photos give it more justice than reality. My room was not clean (the toilet was not cleaned), and the kitchen-type items were in disarray. I think they were about 80% through the reno, and stopped. They are almost there - and if it were clean - honestly, it would be a great spot. Comfortable enough bed.

The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The rooms have just been upgraded, and the space was laid out with helpful items like dishes and utensils, charging stations. There was a patio with a path to the lake.

entrance and parking lot were not appealing. there was junk visible. rooms were fine, furniture in the kitchen was dated and bathroom fixtures were old and leaky. expected the room to be lakefront, my mistake. there were other properties in between. Mini at the reception was the best part of the hotel, and she helped us by providing us with whatever was missing from the room. She also helped us with our questions about the town.

Apparently the rooms have all undergone renovations. Their website states all the rooms have 55 inch TVs and desks with desk chairs. Maybe they could have skipped the big TV s and replaced the 50 year old flat as a pancake pillows instead. Electrical outlet covers are missing, flooring is in poor repair and no desk or desk chairs. Lights just ouside the sliding door cannot be turned off and it was so bright all night we could probably read a book. Vastly over-priced for the quality of the establishment. It's pretty much just a tacky, dated over-priced motel.

Images of the property are misleading. The property looks different than in the pictures. Some rooms do not have a bathroom sink! Cable does not work, room smelled like 420 even though we were expecting a non smoking room. It’s like Russian roulette if you would like to find a room with a bathroom sink at this property. Good luck!

In a great spot, good for many different holiday activities. Could park straight outside the door.
