Axel's take: 7.6/10
A good-value beach base, with older rooms and inconsistent upkeep. A simple 3-star marina-side hotel across from the beach, scored for what it is.
Treasure Island Hotel and Marina is a simple 3-star waterfront hotel, not a beachfront resort: reaching the sand means crossing Gulf Boulevard. It's a good-value pick for travelers who prioritize beach access and marina views over polish. Expedia and Tripadvisor guests frequently praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff. Balconies, microwaves and mini-fridges make the straightforward rooms practical, while the small pool and hot tub add useful extras.
The older building is the compromise. Alongside plenty of satisfied guests, recent reviews across sites describe musty smells, condensation and unreliable air-conditioning; service can also be uneven when problems arise. Parking costs extra, breakfast is no longer offered, and the bar's opening hours are variable. We'd choose it for a beach-focused break, but skip it if consistently fresh rooms and dependable hotel amenities are priorities.
