Please train your employees to be more professional and helpful in assisting check ins You have some of the rudest front desk clerks I also requested no room service during my stay and confirmed twice, but when I returned back after a meeting, they still went into my room and just left towels on counter along with the bagged up trash on my counter, and left all the dirty towels I previously used

This will definitely be my last stay with this location Other hotels in the area are so much more professional and attentive

Frank Dietrich

The hotel had a good feel when we first arrived When pulling the blanket down I observed hair and crumbs in the sheets I advised the front desk that we needed clean sheets

She told me she didn’t have anyone available I asked her just to give me the sheets and I would make the bedShe again said she had noone and asked me what I wanted her to do We went out to dinner our sheets were delivered in a plastic bag on the floor by our door when we returned at around 11:45 PMI asked about the continental breakfast I was advised that I had a special rate and we weren’t entitled to the breakfast I offered to pay and I was told “no” I couldn’t do that The room was dirty, stains on the carpet, hair on the tray that holds the coffee pot( a dirty coffee pot) and ice bucket Wasn’t worth the money I do not recommend The front desk was rude I asked for a Mgr the following morning and advised her of my concerns She offered me points I didn’t want anything I wanted a CLEAN ROOM

Location was good, the hotel was clean The entire operation seemed understaffed, causing delays The employees are not friendly

no welcome greeting, no please or thank you Rather curt and cold No information regarding hotel provided at arrival The room was acceptable, not comfy or classy just OK The room door did not shut automatically and the shower flour is very slippery (both serious safety problems) Towels were inexpensive So – the takeaway that there were no big deal issues just too much for the rates that were charged – and the staff needs to understand they’re in the “Hospitality” industry

Hayden Shieh

Pretty typical Courtyard My two bed room was fairly large with enough space for two traveling golfers to put everything in Bathroom is nice and new but could be larger in my opinion

Beds are comfortable and clean but AC unit is a bit loud No complaints but taking off a star because it is ridiculously over priced for what you’re getting (but so is everything around) Great location to nearby restaurants within walking distance

Kelly Jean

Food at the bistro was terrible Spent $50 on breakfast and ended up throwing most away (home fries were exceptionally bad) Continental breakfast not offered at this location

Room had large kitchenette that took up an excessive amount of space, but not a single kitchen related implement (eg, napkins, utensils, plates) Furniture a bit basic, but I guess this was being updated during our stay (one of the furniture movers lost control of his cart which rammed into the back of my car) It wasn’t a terrible hotel, but for the price I expected something more up to the Marriott standards I feel I could’ve gotten something similar or better at a Comfort Inn or Days Inn, but paid half the price Shower and bed were great Didn’t carry the typical Paul Mitchell shower products

Edi Woodham

I can only say great things about our stay at this property The hotel is in a very convenient location and close to the beach, restaurants and stores The staff was very friendly and helpful, from Cameron and Sarah at the front desk to Yvonne at breakfast and Phoenix the housekeeper

The breakfast was plentiful and the rooms were quite and clean We also enjoyed the clean hot tub and pool area The outside patio and grill and the beautiful pond out back were the best part It was very relaxing Will recommend this hotel to everyone who would like to visit Siesta Keys Thank you for a nice stay We will definitely be back

Christine Coulter

This hotel was probably one of the best I’ve stayed at in a while

I didn’t want to leave! I’ve traveled a lot lately for work and have had some pretty horrible stays elsewhere However, here, the bed was very comfortable, the room was clean and spacious, check in was easy and all the staff were very friendly!! The property is well maintained and clean Breakfast wasn’t bland, it was actually flavorful and filling I even appreciated the option to tip housekeeping digitally Thank you!!

Sonja Dicken

Nice, clean, comfortable place to stay We stayed for a week and they don’t offer daily maid service but you can put towels and trash in hall for them and pick up supplies at desk This worked fine for us or you can request maid service after 4 days

Breakfast was decent with typical eggs, sausage, waffles, hot or cold cereal, toast, yogurt Staff friendly and helpful Would recommend!

From the moment you walk in you’re greeted by the two most wonderful young ladies with smiles that make you feel instantly welcomed!!! Our room was clean, very modern and overall very nice The pool was amazing and refreshing, the tiki bar was a blast with the most absolute best bar tender Denise, once she takes your first drink order she remembers your name and makes sure you are always taken care of, making everyone feel as if they come first Top notch service here from the office all the way through!!! This is by far one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at and I will definitely be going back as well as highly recommending!!!! Thanks so much for welcoming our family and making us all feel right at home!!!!!

Demat

My room was recently remodeled, sparkling cleanedThe hotel is very well maintained, security cameras everywhere and the laundry and pool accessible only for guestsExcellent customer service

This hotel worth every dollar spent

Joe Klapperich

This place was absolutely AMAZING Older? sure

undergoing renovations? Absolutely The room was spacious, updated, pristine and wonderful Check in was effortless Tiki bar was VERY nice, bar tender was friendly and prices were more than reasonableONLY ISSUE – this is a VERY INEXPENSIVE place where you are getting MORE than double your money as an experience HOWEVER – this ALSO means that the “Riff Raff” chooses tom stay there Persons can be friendly, or rude We found 80% friendly, the other 20% wanted to ENSURE that everyone know they were there, they were visible, and that they didn’t care what ANYONE else thoughtManagement did the best they could, but in the end – not a whole lot they could doWould we stay again? 100% yes! Will be our “go to” next time

E’ala Burgess

I love that as a Hilton honors member we get a $10 credit per person for breakfast, it’s the reason why I always book garden inn Breakfast was yummy and our server was absolutely wonderful, very friendly However I was a little surprised that they do not have any fresh fruit for the pancakes or French toast

The night time gentlemen at the check in desk was very kind and even helped to store some pies for us in the restaurant fridge until checkout Which meant so much to us, because they were for my mom, and I wouldn’t have been able to do that without him! All in all, the service here is fantastic and the employees really match the Hilton way by giving great service to their guests The pool is also a decent size, and gets lots of sunshine so it’s nice to lay out And it’s nice that they have brochures with all the things to do in the areaThe rooms however are a different story The beds are extremely uncomfortable, hard and old The room has a very clear musty odor as soon as you open the door (probably from the very old carpets and curtains getting stuff spilled on them over the years) There are no fans in the bathroom so pray nobody needs to go number two during your trip And the pillows under the cover are completely yellow The hotel needs a serious renovation, especially being in such an upscale town like Sarasota Being an airport hotel is not an exception, especially when there’s another newer Hilton in the same parking lot

Theresa Hoban

The hotel is very spacious with nice modern decor The restaurant and bar had good food and drinks but only to go because they have no servers The pool is large and great for families

The staff were very nice and customer service oriented They have some cleaning and repair issues The grout in bathroom was moldy, stain in bathtub, wallpaper peeling and stained, carpet had dark spot needing cleaning Shower curtain is loose from wall Furniture needs touch up where it’s scratched up They made error on final bill that I caught when I was home They corrected it and got the $10 refunded

Ana Lopez

Booked this place because it is pet friendly and my family and I were traveling with my small dog Our stay was OK, nothing extraordinary but we did not book any extraordinary rooms I like that they do have a pool available

Only thing that we did not like is the welcome We booked online 2 rooms and when we arrived for check in, the guy only gave us one key We then realized that we booked for 2 rooms, went back and asked He said that since we didn’t say anything he didn’t know But don’t these people have a computer screen in front of them with all information? Like we were already charged for both rooms, but if we don’t say anything we don’t get both keys? Also, he didn’t ask Very sarcastic tone was given For a one night stay its fine but will look for something else if its for longer

Magnificent hotel Don’t forget to ask for the super comfortable recliner to be put in your room The service was wonderful

Connie was very helpfulI would just like to add a couple suggestions For this great of room I feel there should have been a microwave in my room A toilet seat cover, and a shelf to shave my legs on in the ample shower would have been nice Some variation on breakfast would be nice tooI’ll stay here again

michele chinchilla

The girls at the desk were very friendly and helpful The hotel was beautiful, clean and spacious I love how they had an extra little room to get ready in, with a sink, huge mirror and also a long mirror hanging up

The pool was very clean, warm and beautiful The gym looked great too! The complimentary breakfast was the best I ever had So many different things to choose from Awesome waffle machine makers we got to make our own waffles our selves The only thing was the bright lights coming through at night from the lights out front of the hotel, I prefer it to be dark in the room but other than that everything else was amazing I will definitely be going back, I actually didn’t want to leave, wish I could of stayed longer

I was given a room on the 4th floor next to the fire escape No complaints about the room That said, I could here every foot step taken in the ro above me at 5am, and the folks using the fire escape at 11:30pm Breakfast was typical hotel breakfast No bacon, but the waffle I had was great

Pros: The property is beautiful and well maintained The property had an outdoor patio area with a grill, fire pit, and comfortable patio furniture The room was spacious, extremely clean, and had a super comfortable bed

The included breakfast is fantastic The staff were all friendly and accommodating The breakfast has your basic continental options but also has a station for fresh omelettes, sausage, scrambled eggs, waffles, etc The high quality of the breakfast is rare in hotels in this price range The lobby has a water station and all day coffee/tea, which is a nice added touchCons: If you put a do not disturb sign on your door for the morning, you don’t get housekeeping services unless you call the front desk and ask for it This was not made clear upon check-in and was only explained after I asked The location is about a 15 minute drive from downtown, and about a 30 minute drive from beachesso not terrible, but not super convenient The shower has a weird design and gets water all over the bathroom floor At least on the 3rd floor, there was a very odd smell in the hallway but wasn’t in the room

Susan Mellen

As usual, a most enjoyable winter getaway! I love everything about this place: the rooms, the pool area, the staff, the breakfast! Only thing I would suggest is that someone should monitor the pool as I noted 2 cars full of people that brought young kids in to swim for the day; obvious they were not hotel guests The other suggestion would be 1 chair on the balcony; balcony was nice but none of the room chairs would fit out the sliding door so there was no where to sit and read or relax Otherwise, my stay was awesome! Great place ( miss manager Rhonda though, she was great!)

Angela Clay

Decent hotel Clean, check in was fast They offer free breakfast daily

Homemade omelets, fresh fruit, juice, hot coffee, oatmeal etc etc very nice Reasonably priced Pretty close to everything downtown Sarasota Lots of choices for restaurants and shopping Close to University Town center Mall I would definitely stay here again

It’s a bit on the lower end of what I expect from a Marriott property The staff is not bad, but the amenities and rooms need to be updated and repairedThe breakfast consists of pre-packaged burritos and breakfast sandwiches like what you would get at a convenience store

And yes, they are as soggy as you’d expect from microwaved breakfast in a bagThe rooms are not properly maintained or cleaned We’ve asked twice for refills on the soap and shampoo in our shower, but still don’t have any There was still debris on the floor from previous occupants that didn’t even get cleaned up after our room was serviced twice The AC barely worked and then only when we got the settings just rightPlease fix this place upIn the meantime, I’ll stay at the Hyatt Place next door for my next visit to the area

Chloe Sedlock

If I could give 0 stars, trust me it would be Rooms are fine but staff is terrible We gave this hotel 2 chances and we were treated horribly each time

I have a broken arm, baby, and dog and my husband had called 3 days in advance asking if we could check in early on day of and was told yes no problem at all! Then, called the night before they said same thing no problem we will even leave a note and call if it’s not possible Never received a call so I show up today and am told the room won’t be ready til 3pm normal check in time I get that’s the normal check in time, but don’t say yes multiple times then to early check in! Just say no and we won’t stay here! My husband is here for spring training with the orioles so the hotels we can stay at are limited So frustrating and unprofessional Do NOT stay here! Especially if you have a family Front desk women are terrible

This place is a gem! The decoration is gorgeous, it feels renovated, refreshing and current Every person of the staff is generous and kind, they clearly enjoy their job The gym is stellar, and the pool and the jacuzzi excellent! Breakfast is delicious and with a variety of options

I 100% recommend this hotel and would definitely coming back

kira simring

This is fun hotel with a wonderful staff It has a youth hostel vibe but it’s great for families The beds are very comfortable and the decor is wonderfully playful

The one problem with the room is that space efficiency comes at the cost of privacy There’s a sliding door between the toilet and the shower so you can only close one at the time! The lobby has excellent snacks and a coffee bar

This hotel is awesome! In the middle of our stay so far and we feel its tops! Breakfast is amazing 👏 after seeing reviews saying it was not good, really like you didn’t like the fresh strawberries for your freshly made waffles The fresh biscuits & gravy and homemade quiche! Muffins, cereals and the toppings bar for the oatmeal & cereal 😋 👌 great coffee, tea and hot chocolate available all day All the employees have been incredible 👏 Will definitely stay here again

And the room by the way was spotless and roomy! Great job Homewood!

Nicholas Marcantonio (Nick)

Very nice and family friendly hotel My only complaint was that the shutters in the room don’t block enough light Outstanding breakfast and great evening socials on Wednesdays (should bring this back on all weekdays!)

I stayed for over two weeks and had a great timeBe aware this hotel is used by the nearby park for summer camps Lots of rowing kids LOTS And they show up in a giant flock and tend to eat everything in sight all while staring at their cell phones or each other’s cell phones and giggling Hard to get breakfast when they eat it all

Margaret Smith

Prosgood location, close to shopping and restaurant, plenty of parking service was good room had a nice decor, plenty of space

ConsBreakfast was a bust There was a large group of young adults that “took over” breakfast By the time I got there the food was picked over and mostly scraps by 8:00 am Appeared hotel staff had a tough time replenishing food Suggest hotel designate a meeting room and cater breakfast from there when booking large groups Too many people trying to serve themselves at the same time equaled chaosRoom 109 reeked of fried chicken grease from previous guests cooking in the room, the smell was baked in, recommend giving the room a good cleaning It did not smell fresh, clean or invitingLimited local TV channels

Really nice hotel Being next to the airport I thought I would hear planes taking off frequently However, in my 2 nights I stayed there I only heard 1 plane take off near the hotel and it was in the morning

They had a dishwasher, microwave, full size fridge and dishes They also had a grill by the pool Great option for families It was fairly new and very clean I would recommend this hotel for anyone

Debbie Jones

I love hotels with grills! This one didn’t disappoint If you have a vehicle this is a great place! Without a vehicle it’s a little remote but there is a restaurant and bar in the sister property behind The room was very clean and comfortable

The bed was comfortable as well The grill and grill set were well kept and helped me make some delicious “home” cooked meals The staff was super ni e and helpful as well I would definitely stay here again!

Most staff is nice except for some I recommend you know some Spanish if you want to be able to talk to some of the housekeepers Considering the cost the room is relatively small and if you have more than 1 person in the room it can be pretty cramped

I would also say that breakfast should be served for a little longer because if you want to be able to actually get food you’re gonna have to wake up at around 8:30 am The location is probably the best part about this hotel is the location being at least 20-30 minutes to most top beaches in Sarasota

SSTRIDE Admin

Great people, comfortable and clean room! Traveling for work is never fun but every person I was in contact with was top-notch and seamless They helped me book travel and paid attention to every detail in regards to state funded travel Thank you to Colette, Lynn, Linda, and Blanca

They were all so professional, helpful, and made booking easy Highly recommend staying here!

Solo Camping Adventure

I could give it 10 points, but:Breakfast could be more healthy Would like to have a fat free yogurt and more variety of fruitsAlso, cleaning service wasn’t every day only by request and I don’t understand why room service only after 5pm- very inconvenience

Air conditioner thermostat was set on 68f and you cannot go lower than 68f, but actual temperature in room was 74F I had to remove cover and use axillary button to make thermostat go to 60F

Edit to add: David Alexander the GM may want to stop making slanderous remarks This is my account – I posted my honest review!!! You and your employees have HORRIBLE customer service!! Once again

video will show there was no disruption at your hotel but will show your crazy behavior!! Stop being a bully!!! The owners of this property should be ashamed to have you as the GM!! You are showing your true colors by your slanderous responses to my review!! This is my account!! No one has made any false accounts Your accusations of such are disgusting!!Nothing about my review is false You have horrible customer service I don’t need to complete a stay at your hotel for me to write a review on my personal experience I was not disruptive and there is video proof of that You threatened to have me removed but I calmly left your hotel with no issues Your staff is poorly trained in customer service The GM David Alexander was very unprofessional in his dealings with me I have every right to post my honest opinion on my experience with the staff at this hotel If you don’t like what I have to write then you should have treated me with more respect!! If other people have posted bad reviews that has nothing to do with me This is my review and I stand by it!!

I can no longer, in good conscience, continue to recommend this hotel Their customer relations are non-existent and the General Manager makes false accusations I would tell you that there are several nearby hotels with comparable or perhaps even lower rates

I myself suggest trying the Hilton Garden Inn by the Sarasota Airport They have excellent customer support and will go out of their way to accommodate you Additionally, this Hilton gets 5 stars for cleanliness

First let me tell you, that every single person that works here exceeded expectations! Super friendly and helpful Hospitality was very welcoming and more importantly, it was authentic Free breakfast was a huge bonus

The food served was good too I loved the location because it was close to everything that I needed to get to during my visit The only thing needs improvement, in opinion, is the bathroom There’s wasn’t a working exhaust fan to vent out all the steam from a shower Also, there wasn’t any air vents to allow the air conditioning into the bathroom I traveled with my two daughters So you can imagine how hot it would get in there after a shower That made getting cleaned up and ready to go very difficult Overall, my visit was great and I would recommend to friends

This hotel is nothing short of perfection From the cleanliness, to the staff (hi Tim!) to the amenities, the bed that sleeps like a cloud, to the pool, sauna, cabanas, and the complimentary hot breakfast I have decided whenever I come to the west coast, this will be my hotel! Hyatt Place? Should be renamed Hyatt Palace! Until I see you again

Keep up the excellent work ♥️

Updated and clean rooms Friendly interactions with the front desk staff Great location on University close to everything

Close to the interstate but no road noise could be heard in the room Only small complaint would be a king bed is not a true king Most likely a “super queen” but not a typical king width It was comfy though so still a good night 🙂

Disappointed since we had other expectations based on the review prior to staying at AloftFirst of all, make sure to park on the street, Sarasota has free overnight parking and you can avoid the $18/night valet fee The valet that was there when we arrived on 2/13 gave very poor service, did not open the door for either of us or help with our bags and was very adamant about tipping which I found strange since it’s well known that you tip a valet (or anyone really) AFTER the service is done

Why would I tip you before I get my car back? Especially when he didn’t do anything that a typical valet would help with other than the bare minimum This didn’t bother me but I didn’t like how pushy he was for a tip He even told us it was his only day working that week to coerce us to tip him before the service and we literally saw him there a day laterThe front desk staff were great, and the gym was very good especially for a hotel These were our favorite partsOur room was unfortunately very dirty, I am going to try to attach some pictures to see This is how it looked when we arrived I hope that Aloft takes this feedback to improve and give other people better experiences

The good: hotel staff was friendly, pool was nice, bathroom was nice, decor was modernThe bad: beds are very cheap, hard, and uncomfortable Sheets are worse than amazon basic sheets; they feel like paper

In the queen rooms, one bed is entirely in front of the ac, so you get blasted all night I literally had to wrap a towel around my head as a hat to keep it from freezingThe walls are super thin and you can hear everything Pool view rooms let in noise from the pool, which is open til 11pmPretty sure the hotel is haunted My faucet turned on and off multiple times throughout the night, stuff rattled in our bathroom, the chains to the blinds kept being pulled, and pillows flew off our bedThe area the hotel is in has nothing but a few excessively expensive shops At least 10 minutes to any beach aroundAnd parking is a mandatory valet system ($18/night), unless you’re only staying Saturday or Sunday night, in which case you can get away with parking on the street if you manage to snag one of the eight or so spots, 2 of which are handicap Parking there is 2 hour max 9am – 8pm, “unenforced on Sundays,” per hotel management

*** LOVE! LOVE! LOVE this Aloft Hotel***Beautiful property in Sarasota The moment you walk in you’ll fall in love with this property The lobby is modern and has a great vibe

Love the music, the colors, the bar area, you name it! Rooms are clean, modern and spacious with great amenities such as complimentary in room bottled water (2 per day), free in room coffee, also free unlimited shampoo, conditioner and body wash The beds and pillows were super comfortable The pool and spa was amazing as well The location of the property is outstanding Walking distance to many restaurants and shops The only thing lacking in the room is having hooks to hang the towels There’s only one hook, which it was a bit frustrating Overall experience was tops and the staff was super friendly, courteous and professional Will definitely love to stay here again!
