Excellent stay!! Rooms, grounds and facilities were all super clean. All of the staff and employees that we encountered were very helpful & kind. Location is very central & easy to get to a lot of places but the hotel was also very quiet. We hope to be back!

Super location in an area full of shopping and dinning options. Nice breakfast and spacious rooms. The room has an 80 vibe about it, everything is clean. But the room could use an update, new furniture etc. Personnel is friendly and service minded.

Great bar and food 👌, close to the mall and other good places and only 30 minutes from siesta key beach which is a nice beach.

The staff were very accommodating, however, my TV didn’t work in the assigned room. I was immediately given another room, but it sounded as though the picture tube was going out on that TV as well. Also, the bathroom counter had crumbs/debris on it- it had not been wiped down. I didn’t complain, but it made me reconsider future stays at a Marriot property.

Great location and nice room. Staff is friendly and helpful. Gave it 3 stars because they didn’t clean our room and what was more frustrating is we decided to grab a pizza and stay in to watch max which was offered as a “free” service. Except the internet didn’t work. Staff came to help and it still was off and on. Same on another night. Don’t offer streaming service if you can’t really provide it.

Beautiful property! This hotel is so lovely. The common spaces are wonderfully curated, the outdoor patio overlooking the water is wonderful. The hotel is so clean, the staff is wonderful, the service people so friendly and wonderful. The best part???? They take dogs! Thank you for having such a lovely hotel that accepts pets. We didn’t have our pets this time but will return with them for sure! Location to everything is fantastic too … all the shopping and restaurants you could ask for. Many you can walk to! Love love love this hotel.
