Red Roof Inn Ellenton - Bradenton NE
3.7/5103 Reviews
We came from Montana for my Granddaughters Graduation our stay of 5 days was great. The rooms are a little dated but very clean we were on the bottom floor across from the pool. The room was very quiet no noise from surrounding rooms. Ample parking, close to restaurants, gas station, Hwy 301 with easy access to shopping. The rate was great it made our trip super affordable. We enjoyed our view of lake Lovelee, the hotel offered coupons for the nearby restaurants which were very welcome. The manager was a little short with my daughter and i heard that she or someone close might have been feeding the alligator that lived at the lake. I know they were short staffed, and it might have been a bit to being overworked. Not sure about the alligator but i did get a nice video when it saw me it swam right for me. There is a fence that separates from the lake so i felt pretty safe. Don't feed the alligators and i think this would be a great place to stay.
Bali Hai Beachfront Resort and Spa
4.1/5103 Reviews
The resort was conveniently located on the beach and the decor was nice. We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms. The bar tenders and most of the staff was very friendly. There was one front desk girl with painted on eyebrows that was not so much. The electrical and equipment/fixtures were another story. The first night was like we were staying in a low budget hotel, and nothing really changed. We arrived late for check in. There was no hot water in any of the facets in our suite and no water pressure in the bathroom sink facet. The lighting fixtures above the nightstands in the bedroom would turn off and on at random times a couple times an hour. The ceiling fan in the bedroom was broken and had a mind of its own. It would speed up and slow down on its own. When it sped up too much the thing would rattle and shake and make noise during the night. The fan would also stop all the way on its own and reverse directions. Then the AC/Cooling system on the roof would turn on and vibrate and hum in our room off and on all night. Not peaceful at all! It was like we were staying in a haunted low budget hotel. When I woke up in the morning (if I slept), my phone was dead even though I had it plugged into the convenient phone charger on the nightstand. I brought these issues up to the front desk the next morning and they sent maintenance staff up to our room. The breaker was tripped on the hot water tank, so that was resolved, and we had no more problems with water temp. The phone charger on the nightstand was not plugged in behind the nightstand and this was fixed. We were told: All of the bathroom sinks had the same facet and no water pressure. There was nothing he could do about it. The lights above the nightstand had some sort of sensor that he could not adjust. After he left, I tried waving my hand around to activate this sensor and the lights never responded to my action but would still turn off and on at random times a couple times an hour. He also said he did not have an answer for the fan or had no control over the noise level of the AC/Cooling system on the roof. We stayed there 4 nights with blinking lights and a haunted fan in the bedroom and had to put up with the noisy AC/Cooling system. Worst (4) nights of sleep in my life. I also received a $75.00 parking citation for parking the golf cart the wrong direction in the parking lot, which was a dead end. I was told I could park there by the front desk, but never told I had to be facing a certain direction. Love the Florida beaches, but will stay elsewhere next time.
Bridgewalk A Landmark Resort
4.5/581 Reviews
Highly recommend. Location is great, rooms are clean and the staff is amazing. The gentlemen parking as well as the front desk all went above and beyond. It’s very nice that they also provide beach chairs, towels and umbrellas. Will definitely stay here again.
Lantern Inn & Suites - Sarasota
4/5101 Reviews
Booked this hotel for a quick overnight stay. The price was reasonable compared to other hotels in close proximity. We normally stay at a bit nicer hotel but took a chance on this one based on the many great reviews. Pros Extremely nice check in staff Convenient to airport and highway Nice heated pool Cute tiki bar area Room was clean and newly painted spacious Bathroom was clean although tub was old Bed comfort was ok Couch in room Small kitchenette for longer stays Elevator available Free parking Cons Room has old carpet smells musty Tub is old and worn Furniture is worn and tired Noisy street and planes Humidifier in room was full and noisy The musty smell would prohibit me from staying here again. They started updates they may want to consider removing the carpet next. Otherwise it wasn’t bad for a quick stay.
Courtyard Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront
4.1/5100 Reviews
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.
Days Inn by Wyndham Bradenton - Near the Gulf
2.8/596 Reviews
Everything was ok for the price. It was clean but very run down. There was a homeless guy screaming in the parking lot one morning at 8 am and what seemed to be gangs of young men hanging out in the parking lot. Lots of college kids on spring break so a bit noisy at night. Also, we didn't dare venture to the pool, especially in the evening. It just didn't feel safe. Large dumpster in the parking lot in full view loaded with all kinds of garbage. But it was good for what we wanted and we didn't spend much time there besides to sleep at night. Maid service was consistently good.
