The hotel is showing its age. Our A/C unit in our room was leaking water and the door to the balcony let in hot air. The staff were great and the location was good. The restaurant upstairs was dated and could use a remodel.

The property is a bit outdated. The carpets in the hallways and the overall appearance of the rooms could use a remodel (simple fix would be to change out the framed art in the rooms... so old-looking!). The pool is covered by the shadow of the building so it doesn't get sun. With that being said, our room was clean and cleaned every day even though they said it would be every other day. We had plenty of towels and the bed was comfortable.

I don't think we will ever stay here again. I had high hopes when I received multiply text messages from the concierge that they were there to help if we needed anything. Those texts were followed up by daily text messages including links for us to rate them. I responded one time to help with a confirmation for a reservation. I got an auto response and then a live response that I needed to call the restaurant directly. When I did it was just automated voice prompts. So the "concierge texts" were useless. It smelled (really bad), some of the staff were very rude. Our room was over two large air conditioning units that were so loud we couldn't sit on the balcony. One bright spot was the restaurant. The food was delicious and the wait staff were excellent. My suggestion to other travelers would be to stay somewhere else and go to dinner at Spinners.

The structure is unique with it being round. That part added character to the rooftop lounge/bar and the restaurant Spinners that did rotate. Our reservation time was perfect to get the best view of the sunset. I really liked the fact the hotel was not a big hotel. It has 12 floors including the rooftop restaurant but not aisles and aisle of rooms or multiple buildings on the property. Self parking was never an issue. I do think the timing of our stay was perfect for us. Not dead and not too busy (5/5-5/8). The private beach cabanas were amazing. That allowed us the ability to stay out there longer being about to rotate the cabana based on preferred shade/sun. I actually fell asleep for an hour under the cabana and I never do that! The vibe was great. Usually I get hot sooner than later and need to migrate to the pool but that never happened. Great food located on the property and right around the property. Bongo’s is a must for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

Just completed a stay at the Bellwether. This was our 3rd trip to St Pete Beach and this was by far our favorite hotel. Always able to snag a a complimentary cabana or umbrella… complimentary ice cold water/bottled water and drinks coupons was a pleasant surprise. Staff was always friendly and accommodating. Definitely more of a resort feel than any other hotel we’ve stayed at in the area.

I read a lot of bad reviews about this hotel and maybe hesitant to book it. I’m glad I did it anyway this hotel is right next to all the rest of them that you see when you’re searching to book and St Pete beach I really don’t think it matters too much which one you pick because they’re literally all connected to each other and most have day passes which you can go to. I didn’t find the amenities overwhelming at Bellweather but I did find it Absolutely perfect for vacation for just me and my partner. One thing I would want to know is the cabanas are first come first serve so if you have a family, you have to get up at 8 AM and book one or else you most likely won’t get one

It was a smaller Property and it was perfect. The staff was very friendly and the property was clean. Our room was clean. The only thing I could recommend is that they had better coffee machines in the room. Great time! We would definitely come back.

Great property right on the beach. The beach access with the tents and chair is great. Employees are amazing to deal with and are there for your every need. The room has plenty of room and is very modern decorated. Would definitely come back.

We had a nice time, the property was a bit out dated and our room faced the Sirata which had loud music and loud party guest till late that could be heard clear as day in our room. The cabana rentals were perfect with great service as was the bar at Bongos overall nice stay
