Hampton Inn Sarasota-I-75 Bee Ridge Reviews

This Hampton Inn has a nice clean feel to it. It almost feels like a brand new hotel because it is. It was built not too long ago and that makes it newer which is why it looks and smells new. It smells new as well. They just built this place not to long ago which is what explains the smelling new is from. Thank you Hampton inn for a sexy stay!

Excellent number, as always in this network

I came for a quiet vacation. Construction going on a meeting room for 2 days consistently. Jennifer the manager was not apologetic as a matter of fact her tone was nasty when I complained about the banging. Constant banging and knocking from early in the morning to late in the evening. Bad construction planning during a holiday weekend. The comfort of visiting guess was not considered.

Wrong room with no AC. Alex the desk manager wasn't accommodating or caring. Driving from near Pittsburgh to Tampa, expecting a Hampton to be nice, to arrive to a king bed vs 2 queens, I got a shoulder shrug, and that's all I have. Ok fine, I'll deal with it. Then i realize the AC isn't working. Again, well, I'll try to get someone, yeah, 10 pm, I'll pass. While mistakes happen and things break, he knew it was the wrong room and the stink in the room told me this wasn't the AC first day not working.

No exaggeration. Worst hotel experience in my life. Elevator broken. They offered to help bring up some of our luggage, which was nice, but the guy broke the handle off the suitcase half way up the stairwell. They gave us the wrong room number (written on the card envelope) and when we we trying to open the door, a guy in his underwear opened the door to pot smoke filled room with fists up and threatened to punch my wife. A/C was broken. Our room smelled. Our room door was broken. TV had issues Half way through my shower the water simply cut out - zero water for a few minutes We came back from dinner and there was a lady yelling at the front desk about how the microwave in the common area “f**ng Sucks! It won’t even heat up a simple thing!!” When we brought up these issues to the front desk, there was no empathy and the kid behind the front desk said there was nothing he could do. This place is incredibly mismanaged. There was zero empathy from the staff. I hope Hilton reads this and fires the manager and gets someone who can fix these problems so the next people who stay here don’t have such a horrendous time, as we and others had here.

It was a very nice stay. The only thing we didn't like is that the pillows are half size. There was one full size, standard pillow in the closet that we used, but the rest were the size of decoration pillows. The room was very nice, and the breakfast was pretty good.

Hilton customers should be informed BEFORE they make a reservation here that this location is undergoing extensive renovation that may impact their stay. After a long day of traveling, or in my case 12 hours at the hospital as my husband underwent emergency heart surgery, the last thing most people want to see as they enter a hotel lobby are signs like these. In fairness, the GM did put me in a renovated room. After I filed a formal complaint later with Hilton Customer Relations, he quickly contacted me to offer money off my bill or points. I declined, only asking that the hotel do the right thing and update the website. The website hasn’t been updated as I submit this review. I had planned to sleep in after a very stressful day. I ended up leaving as soon as possible before the construction started at 8am. Do the right thing.

It appears that most of the renovation work on this hotel has been completed. We saw no signs of on going work and our 4th floor bedroom/bathroom were very comfortable, clean and well supplied. The breakfast area --- though rather devoid of travelers--- also looked untouched by construction noise and disarray. And there was a nice selection of breakfast foods to choose from. Quite honestly, we were pleasantly surprised as the cost was considerably less than we are accustomed to paying in Sarasota. We chose this hotel for its location, a quick and easy drive to Celery Fields where we walk and look for birds. Upon arriving, we were happy to find that it is off the road and on a pond. The pond was full of birds, so in 5 minutes after parking; we got some fun photos. We will definitely return to this hotel. They gave us no reason not to and several good reasons to repeat the experience.

My overnight auditor Dekida has truly shown me premier customer service. Awesome attitude and very courteous. Offering me free water and the option to have a suite with a king size bed for a really great price compared to other rooms. My actual suite was also great to be in! Very cozy and spacious. And for checking out, Kirsten was excellent as well. Highly recommend anyone stopping by in town and in need of a place to stay!

DON’T even think about going to this hotel! I always read trip advisor first but failed to today because we were so tired from our delayed flight, so I just trusted the Hampton Brand would be ok. Terrible mistake. NO hot water in the sink, the sink plumbing leaked on the floor. The refrigerator didn’t work. I used a bag of ice in the sink to cool our drinks. Ice machine on our floor didn’t work. And the room & hotel is terribly run down. I can’t imagine Hampton allowing this??? The room rate was over $200 with a discount. Stay Away!

Plus: newly renovated room Minus: asked the Front Desk to make a reservation at a restaurant for the evening. They told us no, that they could not make that call. Just a little service would have been great. Unstable Internet access We are not coming back.

Horrible stay. Undergoing renovation, hot halls, smelly rooms and roaches in bathroom. This Hampton Inn was the biggest dissapointment. The website does not disclose the renovation. We checked in late at night. Had no choice but to stay. No other hotel available in the immediate area. We are seniors and had been driving for hours and needed to rest overnight. We changed rooms because the dog smell in the first room was unbearable. The second room had roaches in the bathroom! The interior halls had no ac. The elevators filthy. Alex and Jenny in the front desk thried their best to assist us, but their was not much they could do. The place is a mess!

1st of all, this place is under MAJOR renovation. The 4th & 5th floors are being gutted and completely redone. This means CONSTANT NOISE! What's really appalling is that this fact is disclosed NOWHERE in the app or website. The 1st time you find out about this major renovation is when you walk into the lobby and see a sign. Front desk tells you too, and oh, by the way, the water will be shut off from time to time for however long it takes, without advance notice. I have traveled the world extensively and have NEVER seen a major hotel chain not disclose that their property was undergoing, nevermind minor repairs, but a major renovation. Absolutely unacceptable and disgusting conduct by Hilton. Now on to the stay. This hotel is a major league dump. The lobby and hallways are hotter than outside (were in a Florida heat wave with outside temps in the mid 90s). There's clearly no AC being pumped into the common areas (maybe because 4 & 5 are open to the outside? Who knows?). Asked for a quiet room as I'm a light sleeper. Got put on 1st floor, NEXT TO THE HOTEL LAUNDRY!!! Staff talking, yelling and joking around starting at 7:15am. And then the construction noise kicks in at 7:50ish. So yeah, about that quiet room... Now into the room. It was a dump. The carpet was blacker than freshly laid asphalt. It was also grossly sticky with my shoe soles sticking to the carpet. The bathroom has evidence of water leaks with cracked paint everywhere. Got into the room and it felt like a sauna. Turned the AC down to 70. In 2 days the room never got below 72. AC is ineffective. So today I packed it in. I was reserved for 12 days and I'm gone in 2. Found another hotel to stay at. This place is virtually uninhabitable and they should have totally shut it down and redone the entire property in one shot, rather than tarnish the Hilton name like this. And now I just got my receipt and they jacked up my rate for both nights. I'm assuming because I left early. Given why I left, they should have refunded me for 2 nights of sheer misery, certainly not charged me more! I'm a Hilton Gold about to become Diamond. But this experience makes me want to start using my Marriott Bonvoy rewards more often.

We were not warned of construction/remodeling taking place. Only one elevator worked, water was turned off 1 day, they ran out of breakfast two days, etc. this was a hotel recommended by Supercopa and our rate was still too high for the hotel. The hallways and lobby were extremely hot, the rooms are small, and I expected a lot more from this chain
