Residence Inn Sarasota Bradenton

I travel extensively for business and have elite status with Marriott. There must have been a management change in the past year, because this has slowly become the worst Residence Inn I have ever stayed with. I’ve stayed with this hotel A A LOT, and given them tens of thousands of dollars during my business stays in Sarasota. I will never come here again, ever, instead I’ll go to the Hilton down the road. Treat your return guests and elite members right. It’s not rocket science. Hilton has my business now.

Stayed with this hotel for a week, in their two bedroom suite. We left on a slow day, and the hotel refused to provide a late checkout. I have Silver Elite status with Marriott. This is unacceptable. I will slam this hotel on every platform I can, I have stayed here several times for business and this will be the dead last, and as a former Marriott manager, I’m totally snitching to the brand that you guys SUCK.

This hotel is tired and definitely needs a refresh. Hallway carpet is dingy. Rooms are nice, but housekeeping service is not up to snuff. Our dishwasher never worked, even though we asked to have it repaired. Lastly, one evening we came back and we smelled burning electrical went down to the front desk. The attendant came down to look they could not find the source told us to sleep with the windows open and to call if we had any further problems. The next day, the head maintenance man did come in and was unable to determine where the smell came from. A very frightening experience, considering I had an elderly guest with me. We were never compensated for the stress that it caused. This is usually the hotel we stay at since my daughter goes to school in Sarasota. Regretfully I think we’ll be finding another hotel.

Great place Have enjoyed this residence inn many times. This stay was as expected. Staff is friendly and helpful especially at the front desk.

My husband and I were supposed to only stay 2 weeks, but kept having to extend our stay due to unforeseen circumstances. Management and all the staff, especially Zoe, Keri and Salina and the night staff could not have been more kind, understanding and accommodating!! We felt very welcomed!! Thank you so much for a great stay!! We will definitely be coming back!!

Would’ve loved a better price due to hurricane evacuation. Would’ve liked an earlier check in due to hurricane evacuation. Would’ve loved a later check out due to airline rescheduling due to hurricane evacuations. Was there four days and nobody cleaned our room. Also their coffee is gross. Way too strong like mud! The best part was Carey the desk lady.
