Hyatt Place Sarasota/Bradenton Airport

8/10 Good

"Was good but the hotel had many people and was in maintenance"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

8/10 Good

"There's so much good to say about the Embassy Suites, with a couple of big negatives. First of all, it is conveniently located. We were able to walk downtown in Sarasota, which is a nice area with so many restaurants. There was one restaurant outdoors that had live music that we could hear for blocks. We were also very close to St. Armand's Circle and Lido Beach. The room itself was ideal. We had a separate bedroom with a living room and kitchen area (microwave, mini fridge, sink, and table). There was so much room for all of our things that it didn't feel cluttered. Housekeeping was completely on top of cleaning things and came daily. The view we had was amazing! Breakfast could be rather busy with a huge line and not much room, but the omelettes were worth it! We highly recommend them, and those serving them are masters at speed and accuracy. The major downside of this hotel is the extra fees. First of all, it's $40 a day to park, which adds up quickly. Second, they charge a $28 a day destination fee, which can be used for some things in the hotel like the restaurant or bikes, but it's rather ridiculous. Whatever you don't use, you lose. We were so busy going to the beach and trying local restaurants that we only used it once and that was to get smoothies after our workout. We only happened to notice a small sign about the smoothies in the workout room. If we had noticed it sooner, we would have purchased them every day to make use of the money being taken from us daily."

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, we had a nice stay and enjoyed the property. The only issue we experienced involved communication. Earlier in the day, I received a text message stating that if I needed anything, I could simply reply to that number. Around 8:00 p.m., while my husband and I were out for a walk, my father called to say he had a severe headache. I replied to the text requesting towels and something for his headache, but I never received a response. When we returned around 11:00 p.m., my father told me that no one had brought the requested items. I then called the front desk and was informed that the employee on duty was new and was not familiar with the texting system. I would recommend ensuring that all staff members are properly trained on the hotel’s communication system so that guest requests submitted by text are acknowledged and handled promptly. Aside from this experience, we had a pleasant stay."

During your visit, you can explore stunning landmarks, beautiful gardens, and vibrant art scenes, as well as enjoy activities like birdwatching and wildlife viewing. The sunsets along the beaches and the local entertainment options provide great value for money, making your trip both enjoyable and economical.
