Hotel Homewood Suites by Hilton di Manatee County

We stayed at the Home2 Suites in Sarasota, Florida-1/4/23-1/6/23. It was an excellent stay and most accommodating. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The hotel was clean and our room was everything we needed. Thank you for a great stay.

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.
