Hidden Gem…. Shhhhh

Carousel was absolutely what I needed during my short stay in FL. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer in October, so I have been flying back and forth between CA & FL. My parents’ place is too small for me to stay over - and I wanted to be with my parents without being on top of them 24/7... Carousel’s location was so convenient to their residence and was comfortable, incredibly clean, safe, *and* right by the beach!!!! Practically on the beach. I lived for many years in NYC & Brooklyn in teeny tiny apartments - Carousel’s accommodations tick all of the necessary boxes and could stand up against a NYC studio in a snap! The medium sized refrigerator/freezer, MW, sink, coffee pot, pots/pans/utensils corkscrew were a nice surprise. There was plenty of storage & the peace of mind knowing that Judy was on site to answer any Q’s that might arise. If you are looking for fancy pants - this is not for you. If you are looking to stay right by the beach within walking distance to cute coffee shops & cafes - this is for you. The rooms are great for single or double occupancy yet probably not ideal for anyone with kids larger than 5yr. I will definitely look up Judy and Carousel the next time I'm in FL.

Close, walk to beach

Room was very clean. Had coffee pot microwave hot plate queen bed pull out sofa. Was minutes walk to the beach very convenient. Parking upfront was a little tight to get out especially around extended cab vehicles. Overall place was a win. Drawback was a lot of people outside in front of motel, smoking, and walls worth and could hear all conversations

We got a very good price on this hotel for a one-night stay somehow, when everything else in St. Petersburg was way jacked up, probably for an event of one kind or another. I think the hotel may have been forced to do some renovations after a recent hurricane, but the upshot is that our room felt brand new, with a beachy vibe, and was absolutely spotlessly clean. It's very rare to have such a blemish free room at this price point, so... highly recommend this place!

Wonderful Motel!

We absolutely loved The Carousel Motel! Our room was extremely clean and fresh! The bed was comfortable and the brand new shower was amazing, it had great water pressure! The room was stocked with all of the amenities we needed. The manager, Judy, was very nice and helpful. The location is great! We will definitely be staying here again.

I was in Room 6 at Carousel Motel for two nights. It looked as if it had been recently updated and painted. It was fresh and clean and had everything I needed. All the important things were there, worked well and were good quality. Comfortable queen bed, very nice shower, great little kitchen with all the utilities, TV, internet, etc. It is perfect for one or two people. (Yet since the sofa was a futon, it would have been possible for more to sleep there.) Judy is very friendly and helpful - and made me feel very welcome. I would come back here again.
