Lodging help on St pete for girl on crutches.....

Five of us girls (in our late 30%26#39;s) are going to ST Pete Beach the end of next week for 4 nights! I found out TODAY, that I have to have surgery TOMORROW (slipped on the ice-broke my fibula bone). My dr. thinks I%26#39;m crazy but I still may want to see if i can feel up to going.

Here%26#39;s where i need the help....Where can we stay (we%26#39;re under a budget) that won%26#39;t be too miserable for me on crutches...for example: beachfront with elevator %26amp; a fun bar in/next to the hotel/condo that I can hobble to/fro

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!!!!!

I stayed at the Alden Resort on SPB right before Thanksgiving--see my review. I stayed in Cayman Gulf-front and there is an elevator and a bar you can get to on the walkway. When you call be clear about needing Gulf front and near the elevator and parking.

thank you for the info....I%26#39;m really looking for a FUN place to stay...is the bar fun or just a reg hotel bar? I figure if i can%26#39;t go very far, might as well have fun where I am.

There are a number of fun beach bars all along the beach- the Swigwam, Jimmy B%26#39;s, Caddy%26#39;s, Woody%26#39;s Waterfront.

The Swigwam is great but the Travelodge where it is is not so great- it has lots of ground floor rooms, have a look at the reviews on here to help you make up your mind. Jimmy B%26#39;s is next door.

The Alden bar is quite small and may not be open during the whole of your stay.

For transport try Bats Taxis the local firm

Have a look at my Inside Page for dining options.

Good luck hope the surgery went OK.

Try either the Grand Plaza Beachfront Resort or the Beachcomber Beachfront Resort. I have stayed at both hotels and the staff and management are accomodating and even have a wheelchair at the hotel in case you want to do something that requires alot of walking. Both hotels have great beach bars with live music. The grand plaza even has 2 othe ron site restaurants.
