Кливленд Бич: Лучший отдых в SpringHill Suites by Marriott!
Alright, let's dive headfirst into reviewing Кливленд Бич: Лучший отдых в SpringHill Suites by Marriott! – or, you know, "Cleveland Beach: The Best Rest at SpringHill Suites by Marriott!" as I guess we're calling it now. Prepare yourself, because this isn't your grandma's travel blog.
First Impressions and the Mad Scramble for the Door (Accessibility & Security)
Okay, so first off, my Russian needs a little work, да? But I got the gist! The name, it's a bold claim, "The Best Rest." Let's see if they deliver, shall we?
Accessibility: Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I did see a couple of folks with mobility aids navigating around, and it looked pretty smooth. They have those ramps, elevators are present, and the hallways seem wide. But! It's a Marriott, so I expect this minimum standard. Still, nice to see. Plus: the front desk is 24-hour. Minus: I didn't see a doctor on call, but there's a first aid kit - big plus for the clumsy me!
Security: This is my thing. I'm a worrywart, and I like to feel SAFE. Cameras everywhere (CCTV in common areas and outside!) is a huge win for me. There's a 24h front desk which is great, plus fire extinguishers and smoke alarms. Honestly, just knowing those are in place already makes me feel more relaxed.
Rooms: My Little Fortress of Solitude (and Wi-Fi woes!)
My room? Well, it was a room. You know, the usual hotel room spiel.
- The Good Stuff: Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Yes, please! I need the darkness to sleep off my latest all-nighter binge-watching some Russian show. Got my own bathroom (a private bathroom, a necessity), a hairdryer (essential with my hair), and free Wi-Fi… mostly.
- The Not-So-Good Stuff: Ah, the Wi-Fi. "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" they proclaim. And it was free. But intermittently. I mean, I'm talking "dial-up in the 90s" speeds at times! I tried using my Laptop workspace, but half of my time were lost in a loading wheel of agony. I had to reboot my phone a couple of times just to check some emails – the Internet Access - LAN was there, but like the rest of the equipment, it was outdated.
- The REALLY Good Stuff: My room was a non-smoking room, the bed was comfy, and there was a desk – critical for any creative type like myself (a.k.a. someone who likes to doodle and drink coffee whilst writing). And a fridge! Perfect for stashing my local delicacies, like that delicious jar of caviar I picked up.
Food, Glorious Food (or the Lack Thereof at Times)
Okay, dining. This is where things get… interesting.
- Breakfast: Okay, the breakfast [buffet]… It was. Let's just say it exists. I didn’t get the Asian breakfast - maybe next time? The coffee was okay, but the scrambled eggs? I had to load them up with ketchup because they were dry. I am not too happy with the breakfast - but it was free.
- The Bar: I didn't spend enough time there, but it seemed functional, a solid enough pool-side bar.
- Restaurant: There are restaurants somewhere, and they do have salad, soup and desserts. But I didn't see any Asian cuisine in restaurant.
- Room Service: Is always a plus, even if I didn’t order any.
Things to DO…? (and ways to relax?)
This is more like "things to kinda do" (or wish you could).
- Fitness Center: Look, I intend to work out on vacation. I really do! But after the long trip, the thought of the Gym/fitness was… nope. I just wanted to relax. The fitness center existed, though.
- Pool: The Swimming pool [outdoor] looked enticing, but I didn't have the time to try it. Plus: they do have a pool with a view - which is fantastic, but the best thing is a Spa/sauna, but I did not try any of the ways to relax, and now I really regret it.
Cleanliness & Safety: The Covid Edition
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room, the pandemic. SpringHill Suites seemed very on top of things.
- The Good Stuff: Hand sanitizer everywhere! They were doing daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays. They were even using Anti-viral cleaning products! Masks were encouraged. Staff trained in safety protocol, and I felt pretty safe. Plus: they had individual snack options, which is smart.
- The Not-So-Good Stuff: They had a few things removed (shared stationery removed), but maybe they should remove the buffet too.
Services and Conveniences: The Ups and Downs
- The Elevator: Functional!
- Daily Housekeeping: The housekeeping was there everyday.
- Concierge: None
- Gift shop: I saw one.
- Essential Condiments: They had some!
- Laundry Service: I did not use it.
- Cashless Payment Service: YES!
The Verdict: Is It "The Best Rest"?
Look, no hotel is perfect. But for what it is, Кливленд Бич (I’ll make an effort to pronounce that right) is a solid option.
Things I Loved:
- The air conditioning
- The safety and security measures
- The clean rooms
- The fridge in the room.
Things That Could Be Better:
- The Wi-Fi
- The breakfast
My Overall Rating: I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.

Azure Sapa: Невероятный Отель во Вьетнаме, Который Вас Поразит!
Alright, ура! (Hooray!) We're going to Clearwater Beach! Specifically, the SpringHill Suites, which, let's be honest, sounds a little… bland. But hey, it's a chance to escape the everyday, right? Let's just hope I don't spill coffee on my passport this time. shudders The memory…
Clearwater Beach Craziness: My Totally Unreliable Itinerary (SpringHill Suites Edition)
(Note: This schedule is more a suggestion, a whisper of an idea, a flimsy thread in the vast tapestry of "what if" than an actual plan. Consider it a roadmap to potential chaos.)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Beach Reconnaissance
- 14:00 - Arrival at Tampa International Airport (TPA). Ok, first hurdle: navigating the airport. Pray to all the gods of baggage handling that my suitcase actually arrives. I’m usually a disaster at airports - always the last one at security, always forgetting my phone charger. Wish me luck!
- 15:00 - Shuttle (or Uber, depending on the state of my wallet) to SpringHill Suites. Pray also that the drive isn't through a swamp. I’ve seen enough Florida gator videos to last a lifetime. My nerves are already frayed.
- 16:00 - Check-in to SpringHill Suites. Okay, time to pray again. Please, let my room be clean. And please, please, please don't have a view of the parking lot. Seriously, I deserve a decent view! And if it's ocean-facing, well, bliss. I’ll probably start weeping from pure joy.
- 17:00 - Great Beach Reconnaissance: A beach walk! This is the main event for day one. Gotta assess the situation. Sand quality, seagull aggression levels, potential for finding seashells. I'm aiming for prime sunset photo opportunities. I'm picturing myself in a flowing dress, looking all windswept and fabulous. Reality: me, tangled in my own beach towel, battling rogue sand, probably getting a sunburn. But hey, the idea is good!
- 18:00 - The Quest for the Perfect Sunset Dinner: Restaurant selection is crucial! TripAdvisor is my bible. I'm leaning towards Frenchy's Rockaway Grill – everyone says it’s a must-do. But crowds! Oh, the crowds! I'm not a “people person,” but I love seafood… Decisions, decisions! (And praying I don’t accidentally tip my server the wrong amount. I'm terrible with currency conversions, even in my own country!)
- 19:00 - Sunset! (Hopefully.) Okay, this is the moment. The reason we all brave the airport, the traffic, the potential sunburn. If the sunset is beautiful, I may actually cry. I'm a sucker for a good sunset. If it's cloudy? Well, there's always tomorrow. And maybe I'll have a second margarita.
Day 2: Beach, Boardwalk, and the Mystery of the Missing Sunscreen
- 08:00 - Attempt at a hotel breakfast. Free breakfast is a double-edged sword. On one hand, free food! On the other, questionable quality. I’m imagining rubbery eggs and lukewarm coffee. But hey! You never know! I will try anything… once.
- 09:00 - Beach Day! (Round 2). Today: deeper beach exploration. Maybe I'll actually swim this time, instead of just wading in the shallows, terrified of what might be lurking beneath. This is where it'll get messy. I’ll have to apply sunscreen. Speaking of which, I better remember to pack it this time. Ugh, did I? I'm already starting to sweat. I'll probably remember what I forget it when I am about to get into the water
- 12:00 - Lunch at a casual beachside shack. This is where I make a serious choice: burgers or tacos? The eternal struggle. And the added pressure of ordering in English -- my second language. Should I stick with "burger"? Or should I be really brave and try that mysterious "Cuban sandwich" I have been hearing about?
- 14:00 - Boardwalk Stroll and Souvenir Scramble. Gotta wander the boardwalk. Gotta browse the tourist traps – even if I never actually buy anything. This is where the "I'm a tourist" photos happen, right? And if I see a "Kiss the Mermaid" t-shirt, I'm totally buying it. (No shame).
- 16:00 - Relaxing in the Pool: This is supposed to be relaxing time. This is what I tell myself. In reality, I’ll be dodging screaming children, trying to discreetly reapply sunscreen, and wondering if the water is really as clean as it looks.
- 18:00 - Dinner Dilemma (Again). Italian? Sushi? Something I haven't even considered yet? The restaurants here are so many! I'm probably going to spend an hour on online, reading every review, and then end up eating a hot dog from a food truck. It is still delicious.
- 19:00 - Stargazing on the Beach (if my hotel view is good): The chances of seeing any stars here are probably slim, but the idea is romantic. Maybe. Okay, maybe I'll just watch some TV in my room.
Day 3: Farewell (and the lingering scent of salt)
- 09:00 - One Last Breakfast (of questionable quality). Will I learn from my mistakes? Will I be brave and try the waffles? Or will I stick with the safe bet - a banana? The suspense is killing me (not literally, I hope!)
- 10:00 - A Final Beach Walk. Soak it all in! One last whiff of the salty air, one last feel of the sand between my toes. Remind myself to be grateful I got to experience this trip. Even if it wasn't perfect.
- 11:00 - Pack, Pray, and Prepare for Departure. Packing is my least favorite activity. I'm a chronic over-packer, and I bet I'll still forget something important. I'll probably leave something behind, too.
- 12:00 - Check-out and Taxi/Shuttle to TPA. Goodbye, sunshine, hello, airport chaos!
- 14:00 - Flight Departure. Pray the flight is on time. I've been reading about airport delays. Hopefully, this trip gives me something to remember.
Key Considerations (aka, Things I'll Probably Screw Up):
- Sunscreen: Seriously, this is crucial.
- Bug Spray: Florida = bugs. I would like to avoid becoming a walking buffet for mosquitos.
- Hydration: Drink water! Lots of it! (And maybe the occasional margarita.)
- Pace Yourself: Remember, this is a vacation, not a marathon. Slow down! Enjoy! (Easier said than done, I know.)
- Be Flexible: Things will go wrong. Embrace the chaos! Laugh at the imperfections! It's all part of the adventure!
- Learn Some Basic English Phrases: "Please," "thank you," and "another beer, please!" are essential.
- Bring a book: For those inevitable moments of downtime. And for reading on the beach.
- Don't worry about everything: Just have fun! This is where it’s at!
So, there you have it. My totally unofficial Clearwater Beach adventure. The expectation is to return with a tan, a few bad photos, and a long list of stories to tell. Wish me luck, my friends! And до свидания (goodbye) for now! I'll report back with tales of sunshine, seashells, and hopefully, not too much sunburn!

Кливленд Бич: Лучший Отдых в SpringHill Suites – FAQ (Или, Короче Говоря, Вся Правда, Которую Вам Попытаются Продать)
Что такое, черт возьми, Кливленд Бич? Там вообще что-то есть, кроме ржавых кораблей и грустных чаек?
Ахаха, ну вы прям в точку! Да, Кливленд. Да, корабли. Да, чайки, как будто сбежавшие из фильма ужасов. Но, честно говоря, все не так уж и плохо. Особенно вот в SpringHill Suites. Пляж, конечно, не Майами (ну, если вы вообще мечтаете о Майами, а не о чем-нибудь вменяемом). Но! Во-первых, можно просто пойти и посмотреть на воду. Во-вторых... ну, надо идти в SpringHill Suites, а там думать.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott – это дорого богато или можно потянуть, ну, хотя бы раз в год?
Смотря с чем сравнивать. Если с бунгало на Мальдивах, то конечно, можно. Если с ночевкой в машине у заправки, то... ну, тоже, наверное, можно. Я вот как-то раз приехала, и думала – "Ну, хоть бы не ободрали". Там как-то все зависит от сезона и ваших ожиданий. Номера, вроде как, ничего, завтрак – вообще отдельная история. Но об этом позже... Главное, откладывайте потихоньку, а то потом будете сидеть и кусать локти, как я однажды с этим билетом в цирк.
Что там с пляжем? Он правда такой же серый, как и все фотки из Кливленда?
Ну что вам сказать… Да, серый. Ну, ладно, не совсем. Иногда – да, серый. Иногда – коричневатый. Иногда – когда солнце, вроде даже ничего. Я вот однажды приехала, а там ветер такой, что песок в лицо летит, как будто тебя кто-то специально шоркает наждачкой. Но, если повезет с погодой (что в Кливленде – лотерея, я вам скажу!), то можно даже посидеть, подышать морским воздухом, помечтать... Главное - не забыть крем от загара (но это уже моя боль, так как обгореть можно даже если не смотреть на солнце).
Завтрак в SpringHill Suites – это вообще съедобно? А то я слышала, что там... ну, такое себе.
О-о-о, завтрак... Это целая сага! Завтрак – это как русская рулетка. Иногда – божественно. Свежие фрукты, омлет с грибами, сыыыыр! (Я люблю сыр, да). А иногда... Ну, знаете, берешь этот блинчик, а он как будто резиновый. Кофе – как вода из-под крана. Но, бывает, что и хорошо. И главное - можно наесться до обеда, что очень важно, если вы планируете весь день ходить по Кливленду, где поесть тоже не всегда просто… Я вот как-то раз взяла этот омлет, а он, как оказалось, был с луком, который я терпеть не могу! Кошмар... Но, в целом, шансы выжить есть! Только не забудьте про хлеб - он почти всегда съедобный.
Есть ли в SpringHill Suites бассейн? Если да, то можно ли там купаться, а не только смотреть на синюю воду?
Да, бассейн есть. И, да, в нем можно купаться! (Обычно). Он, конечно, не такой, как в фильмах – с джакузи и барменом. Но поплавать можно. Я вот однажды пришла, а там дети визжат, брызгаются… В общем, как в деревне на речке. Но потом, когда все разошлись, стало даже хорошо. И в целом, там вода чистая, насколько это возможно в отеле.
Что делать в Кливленде, кроме как грустить и смотреть на воду?
Ох, ну это сложный вопрос. Грустить и смотреть на воду – это, пожалуй, самый распространенный вариант. Но можно, например, сходить в музей (там есть пара неплохих), съездить на экскурсию по местным достопримечательностям (если вам хватит смелости), или просто пойти погулять по улицам. Я вот однажды заблудилась, и потом встретила такого интересного дедушку, который рассказывал мне про историю Кливленда… В общем, вариантов много. Главное – не сидеть в номере, конечно, хотя если вы любите сериалы, то сидеть в номере тоже можно. Но тогда вы ничего и не увидите!
Как там с интернетом в номерах? Стримить сериалы можно?
Ну, интернет… Это еще те танцы с бубном. Вроде бы есть, но скорость как будто из прошлого века. Иногда – летает, как птица. А иногда – еле ползает, как… как черепаха, наверное. Стримить сериалы можно, но придется запастись терпением. И, возможно, подушкой, чтобы не нервничать. Я вот однажды пыталась смотреть фильм, а у меня все время тормозило! Это было просто невыносимо. Но, в принципе, если вам не надо срочно работать, то можно и потерпеть.
Стоит ли вообще ехать в этот Кливленд?
Сложный вопрос. Если вы хотите тишины и покоя – да. Если вам нравится серый цвет – однозначно да. Если вы готовы к приключениям (даже самым минимальным) – вперед! Если вам просто надоело сидеть дома – тоже можно. Но, если вы мечтаете о роскоши и развлечениях… ну, подумайте еще раз. Я вот как-то раз поехала, и сначала была в шоке. Думала, куда меня занесло? А потом привыкла. И даже понравилось. В общем, решать вам. Но если что, советую брать хотя бы пару дней, чтобы привыкнуть ко всему этому великолепию.
Что насчет парковки? С ней как?
