Hotel berhampiran Dancing Crane Gallery, Bradenton

I liked the hotel decor, room was confortable and my kids really enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was plentiful and very busy on the holiday weekend but the the lady running the kitchen was really patience and handled the crowd very well. I asked for her name was Adina, she should be recognized!

Clean, bright hotel with excellent front desk service. Shout out to Nate, in particular, for being so friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with a good size bathroom, couch, desk and partial water view. Bed was comfortable. Would have liked a few more TV channels but streaming was an option. Restaurants close by. Breakfast was included with the expected cereal, bagels, waffle, etc. Overall, a good stay.

While this is an older hotel, (paint on paint) we found the location was great, on the water walk, great pool and hot tube. Staff could not be any more pleasant and accommodating. We used the suite with two adults and 3 children. Sofa bed not bad (its a sofa bed). two queen were comfortable. We loved it.

Great stay, excellent location, very good value for the price. We had a 1 night stay, arrived late and as a IHG member everything was ready. Easy check in, room request fulfilled (3rd floor away from elevator), clean room, shower with WATER PRESSURE, plenty of options for breakfast, (hot or cold) comfortable bed and pillows. Lots of places to grab a bite to eat and beer around the hotel. We would definitely stay here agaon

I rarely write reviews but this one is necessary. We had a barely flushing toilet upon arrival and called for assistance. Because of Hurricane Ian, all rooms were full (although we saw people check in the next day) so we could not move rooms. Long story short, the maintenance person showed up the next day after 10 a.m. and he also could not fix it. We went two days without a working toilet and it was, to say the least, uncomfortable. My 81-year-old mother in law could not walk downstairs to the lobby bathroom because she has COPD. There was a sewer smell too (we were given an ADA room, so it was coming out of the drain on the bathroom floor). We had to pick up a plunger from the front desk and plunge away at the toilet again and again and again. There was some leaking from the ceiling from the hurricane. Others on our floor also mentioned the leaks - so it wasn't just our room. Ours was coming out of the ceiling lamp - enough to have to grab towels and a garbage can to catch the water. On day three, we could not take it anymore. Had to check out. We plunged toilet again and again and it finally fully flushed. I never worked so hard to get a toilet to flush. Then, the garbage disposal would not switch on and off. Bottom line is that staff was terrible at handling issues. There are many ways to handle an issue and I give them an ”F.” They also charged us the entire bill after we asked to speak with the manager upon check out and told she wasn't available for at least 30 minutes, perhaps avoiding us. We couldn't even have a conversation -- just got charged. Super passive aggressive. I think this was my worst hotel stay ever.

My room was not cleaned the day before I departed

The Courtyard Sarasota at University Town Center is in a great location, within walking distance of Mall at UTC and Nathan Benderson Park. Well managed facility meets all Marriott/Bonvoy - Courtyard boxes incl. parking. Professional, efficient and friendly check-in. Room & bathroom are clean, spacious and quiet. Good water pressure in shower and fluffy towels available. Very good competitive price point and solid product. Would most certainly happily return.

This Home 2 Suites is located at the far end of a shopping plaza and has a large lake and park about a tenth of a mile from the entrance. The hotel offers free bike rentals for you to enjoy the park which is nice. First impressions send out higher end boutique beach hotel. For the price this place is amazing! Many guest were checking-in for a month or longer stay. The lobby is open and well decorated with a separate and equally open space for free breakfast and daily snack hour. The hotel gives you a pamphlet when you arrive to tell you of their wonderful amenities and times of availability as well as all the things offered nearby. Free yoga anyone? The suite was open with a nice kitchen including two burner stove, full size fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Seating area had a nice chair and comfy sofa. The bedroom was separated by an actual door and offered a desk and very comfortable beds with multiple plush pillows. The sink and counter area of the bathroom is separate from the shower and toilet, great for two or more people getting ready together. Nice closet with many wooden hangers and a safe. Overall great first impressions of cleanliness and the room smelled fresh. This is where the almost perfect comes into play. Later in our stay we noticed two things. One, the carpet wasn’t as clean as it appeared; leaving our feet black if we did not wear slippers. Two, you must get up with the sunrise. Even though the window treatments gave a clean beach vibe and the windows were privacy tented, they were far from light blocking. Not good for someone who likes to sleep in late. The laundry, gym and pool area were all exceptionally furnished! The laundry had nice high end appliances for 2 dollars a load. The gym offered Peloton products as well as other equipment. There is even a small basketball court. The pool however is the crowning glory. Located outdoors it was nicely sized and offered covered cabanas and group seating with very nice grills. Plan on staying here again for my next visit to the area. Great overall experience, just need to bring a sleep mask.
