    st. pete beach recommendations

    We are planning one night in the St. Pete Beach area before our stay at Disney. We would prefer the Clearwater/ Pass-a-Grille area. Can anyone make any recommendations for clean, family-oriented hotels that are on the beach and won't cost an arm and a leg. Thanks.
