Home2 Suites by Hilton Sarasota - Bradenton Airport, FL

I was booked at this property, but Hilton moved me to the Hilton Garden Inn which I DO NOT recommend. The property is under construction and the inside is a mess. My room had baseboard tile coming off, the pillows smelled like sweat, the tv remote wouldn’t work (and I did request it to be programmed but no one did it), the side table drawer was cracked, the tv stand/ dresser drawer didn’t close, there was no safe,the tub had a hair in it that wasn’t mine, the tub was dirty, the ice machine on my floor didn’t work and there was a bucket of gross “stuff” next to it. I have an egg allergy and the egg spoon, potato spoon, and bacon tongs were all in the same resting plate. Travelocity did work with me to help me get a discount ($39) but I don’t think that was enough. The rate I paid was for a Hilton and the quality I got was NOT. Oh, and if you want a hotel with a fitness center, don’t bother because it’s closed. I saw a family walk in and demand a refund, saying they weren’t staying there. I wish I had that option but there were two large tournaments in town and no vacancies, and I don’t have family there I could stay with.

The room was spacious, but had only one comfortable chair, I know most hotels only have one, but if my husband and I wanted to eat a meal at the table, we only had one chair. The bed was comfortable and my request for extra pillows was taken care of immediately. The handicap bathroom was great, lots of bars to hold on to. We were on the front of the hotel and the traffic bothered us all night and someone on the floor above us, not your fault, stomped around all night the second night we were there, but I have booked another stay there because of the size of the rooms and the convenience of being close to my family.

This was our first time at a Home2Suites by Hilton, and we absolutely loved it. The rooms were cute and modern. The staff was always friendly and always gave us the towels we asked for, or extra sheets. Breakfast was good. That was a plus. The only thing we disliked was the bathroom door was such a pain to open, we always got locked in and had to leave a spoon in the bathroom to get the kids out when they would go in. Other wise we loved the whole place, and staff. The swimming pool was clean and fun! Such a great place definitely will recommend to anyone who is visiting in Sarasota.

I didn’t like that there wasn’t available baby cribs for my two toddlers. We stayed there three nights and I checked every day at the front desk for them. None were available! The laundry washing machines smelled bad. The dryers didn’t dry my clothes fully. The breakfast time-the staff didn’t put new items in once they ran out. I asked the male associate to fill the orange juice as it ran out, he never did. Yogurt ran out, cereal ran out at 6:30 am and they didn’t fill. The hotel could be cleaner, the carpet had big dark stains all over the place.
