Sharing a part of the tourist strip with a varieties of hotel and restaurants, I found, Shepard's Beach Resort with no issues. Checking in was a bit of a lengthy wait, but no fault is to be placed on the staff. Looking through the glass windows I was greeted by the sight of a very spacious entertainment area. Pool, cabanas serving food and drink, tables conveniently scattered and music played at a pleasant volume conducive to the environment.
Room and bathroom were found to be very clean. Our fourth floor view was of the stage and water. I reserved a handicap accessible room. Grab bars were plenty but I was disappointed for the lack of a shower seat.
Settled into our room, we made for the outdoors. Navigating the grounds in a wheelchair was easy as pie. Finding a table next to a cabana was a sincch. Servers were plentiful, food was ordered and served in a timely manner. The food was hot and tasty. We enjoyed a cold brew and a great hamburger. Music was being provider by an entertainer singing and on playing guitar solo. Perfect for a late afternoon calm.
On returning to the hotel for a night at the Capital Theater to here a great band, we were greeted by a band doing cover songs. The crowd was festive, the beers cold and the staff accommodating. A D.J. proceeded to follow the band. The music, though not my style, was enthusiastically accepted by the crowd. I wasn't ready for the bass. It literally shock me to the bone and once settled back in my room it shuck the very foundation of the hotel. Needless to say, falling asleep was an issue.
All in all, I would go back. Clearwater, especially the town, was fun to visit. The hotel lived up to their four stars and reputation as a popular night spot.
