Residence Inn Sarasota Bradenton Reviews

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!!

This hotel is nice, quiet and close to the airport. We had a 2 bedroom 2 bath and were granted an early check in- so thankful for that. Room was large, and had everything we needed. The fridge was a little beat up, but who cares. There is a nice pool, but it was raining so we didn’t get to use it. There is a cute patio and a nice fire pit also. Our flight left at 6am so we didn’t get the breakfast but I’m sure it’s fine. The location is perfect- just across the street from the airport. I think Uber was $20. Be aware there is NO shuttle. I’ve seen reviews for shuttles that take to the beach and local places- this is not correct. This hotel doesn’t have a shuttle. We would stay again.

overall good hotel but there was not enough lighting in the room, low water pressure, went to breakfast an hour after it opens but they ran out a lot of food already. breakfast staff was friendly. great location- next to the airport and Ringling.

Our room was a studio with full kitchen (microwave, stove, refrigerator, coffee maker). Had king bed and large pull out mattress in the couch. Rooms were super clean and very nice. Outside area has a large grill, fire pit, outdoor seating area with comfy chairs and umbrellas, and a pool with lounge chairs. Room was spacious with plenty of storage space. Was with large group for sports tournament, and the Front desk woman named Carrie was amazing. Sooo helpful, personable, and friendly. She went above and beyond to make everyones stay great. Perfect for solo travelers, couples, as well as people with kids

Ronda at the front desk went above and beyond to ensure I felt appreciated for the business and that everything I needed was taken care of. She’s outstanding! I’ve stayed at many hotels recently and have not had that level of service. I will definitely be staying here again if in the area on business.

I needed to find a place to stay and work for five days while my house got plumbing problems fixed. There are no luxe features here but, bottom line, it was the perfect place to perch for my needs. Plenty of room (I booked a one-bedroom studio) for work and rest. The kitchen amenities all worked (they could supply larger bowls, tho); the bed linens and towels were good quality; and the place was clean. The front desk staff all seemed very accommodating. My only complaint is that I encountered Wi-Fi problems, which made it challenging for me to work. Even worse, while I was there, one of the "engineers" grabbed my phone to do something (before I could stop him) and, whatever he did, seemed to interfere with my messaging/text functions for the rest of my stay there. Maddening. Aside from that, I highly recommend this hotel. If I ever go back, though, I’ll try to get a room that overlooks the back/east side of the property—away from the pool side, which is brightly lit all night.

Clean, well maintained facilities with exceptional staff. Thank you Michele Reisdorf and Keri at front desk. You made our hard trip so much easier for us. The entire staff from your maintenance, housekeeping and service area were kind and accommodating at all times, day and night. It was a welcoming surprise to have a hearty/ versatile breakfast everyday. Thank you very much , we appreciate all your hard work and hospitality. Will return again for sure

My wife and I came into town for a 3 day business trip. My business was 35 minutes away but we still chose to stay here because the staff and the accommodations are so good. Ronda always goes out of her way to make my wife and I feel at home. She seems to know every guest by name. The breakfast bar is very good and the hotel is always clean and comfortable. This is our second trip Herr. This time we brought our fur baby and she even remembered his name. The swimming pool is heated. It felt more like a vacation than business and we look forward to coming back.

Organized and Cleaned Great service and Kerrie she is the best customer service person during my stay she went over the expectations feels safe environment. Great experience staying at the hotel well stay again and highlight recommended the hotel for your stay

Not happy! Stayed for a week. Needs some updating and new management. Not friendly at all except for the cleaning staff. Terrible breakfast. Except for one day there was no cooked food. Sandwiches premade, very little choices and kitchen staff hard to find.

My wife and I stayed here for the very first time, during our annual Spring Training Baseball trip. Typically, we stay in Bradenton, but I had Marriott points this year, and we have always had good service with Residence Inn. The property is right on University Parkway. The staff is very friendly and supportive. It and the rooms are clean and well laid out. Had a little noisy neighbor next door at 2AM, but a "tap" on the wall shut them up. Water pressure in the shower was a little lacking, but workable. I will put this on our list of locations to stay, next year. We enjoyed a couple of the eating establishments recommended by the front desk. The Orioles Player Development people stay here, during part of Spring Training.

Very Peaceful Stay. My Wife And I Loved Our Stay!! I needed to come to Sarasota Florida for 3 full days of business. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The front desk staff member named Ronda went out of her way to make sure my wife and I were comfortable. My wife needed to stay at the hotel during the day while I was in the meetings and she really enjoyed her day on the property and by the pool. They had an excellent breakfast bar and good size fitness center. We look forward to our next day here.

Recently during a stay the room was given an extra $250 in charges! After 2 weeks of daily calls trying to get a manager, nothing changed. I was always met with anger. Two weeks, and when I finally spoke to the Head manager SELINA said, "I have work I could be doing instead of having this conversation". I work to.... which is why it was ridiculous the discussion took two weeks to happen. I thought I enjoyed my stay until they charged me (without ever informing me). Nope, not again.

We enjoyed our stay here at this very clean hotel and with an exceptionally clean room. The breakfast buffet was very good with both hot and cold foods.The staff and their service were excellent. The only thing I would suggest is ask where the rooms are with dogs and get placed far from them. It appears they are on the first floor near the exit doors.
