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

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!

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

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

Nik Digilio

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!

Michelle Andrews

We had the opportunity to stay here at the end of March 2022 It was an overall good experience The room was clean and well laid out

Great balcony view as well All of the staff was accommodating and extremely patient and friendly We went to breakfast in the main lobby restaurant and had a fabulous brunch that I would highly recommend to anyone staying here We really also really liked that the self parking was very close to the hotel It felt like a safe place to be in and around the hotel My only con is in regard to the Hurricane Hut… the drinks seemed to be weak and full of sugar and the food was not super yummy However, the service was excellent and the portions were large Again, an overall good experience I will totally be staying here again if we ever return to Sarasota!

Bill Wright

Stay was a good time Parts of the hotel do seem dated Staff are 5 stars

Pool area was great What I liked less is hotel had a convention and a cheer group event during my dates They used the common space that at times took away from use of those not part of the events such as lobby seating area Wish it was different They have activities to do off site but what I would have liked is a good shuttle program to other areas or the beach I did see a shuttle to a restaurant if you wanted to leave to eatWhile mentioning food it’s a bit limited When I looked for dinner I noticed half the menu was same as offered at the poolWe had a mid sized car rental if your going into downtown get a car as small as you canGreat beaches and restaurants easy drive to visit

ReneeOnPoint

Do not let my three star rating discourage you from visiting this Hyatt Regency location You will receive five star service from check in to check out and that’s what will make your stay pleasant The location offers a beautiful view of the marina

There are so many restaurants within walking distance The hotel decor is extremely dated I just didn’t get that feeling of being in a “luxury” hotel The rooms offers all the amenities (robes, slippers, coffee, tea, toiletries) I read s company purchased the hotel and they plan to build another luxury hotel on the site I enjoyed my stay and will continue staying at Hyatt properties

Brooke Simpson

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

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

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

Absolutely loved our stay at The Capri at Siesta! The property and room were very clean and welcoming They have a grill, washer/dryer, patio on the property The pool is across the street as well as shuffle board

The beach is a short 1 minute walk down the private road for hotel guests only The hotel is a short walk from great restaurants and shops that have everything ie bikes, scooters, boat rentals, gifts, coffee etc If you are looking for a relaxing place without all of the traffic this is the place to go! We will be back!

Kish Clare

Very average hotel With no access to a pool in the hotel but a tiny shared pool between several hotels constantly filled with screaming children Small chairs were offered for the beach on a first coke first serve basis and all beds were an additional charge

The reception desk being empty most the time made it very difficult to get anything done The shower pressure was terrible and no room service or cleaning service was offered Would not recommend

Lisa Collette

I can’t figure out why The Capri has a 3 star rating on Expedia (at the time of booking) This hotel was fantastic! It was easy to find, a 2 min walk to the private beach (group of resorts who share the pool, etc) nice common area to sit, have guests, etc

The room was super clean, very relaxed, free laundry supplies and w/d to use We will book here again

Stayed in a two bedroom suite during peak spring break season

the rooms were spotless and clean, the service was good The sofa vinyl was peeling, but not a big deal We heard talking and running about on all sides, the dishwasher is about as loud a train engine, and the breakfast was worth avoiding The pool has what looks like a water jet, but it was suctioning water in and I found that out just a little late after brushing against it with an immediate bruise to show for it I was told there was a tennis court, but it is only an activities court I expected a lot more for the price, but the location was good so maybe that’s why it cost plenty

Dianne Mowat

Came with my Dragon Boat club for the World Club Crews in July 2022 Cannot overstate how incredible the staff were…always so accommodating to our teams The facility was just perfect for us! Being able to make meals, use the barbecue, gym, pool and outdoor space to stretch kept us race ready! Oh yes our club came away with 12 gold medals! 😊

Radwa Mohamed

They canceled our reservation on their own that we paid for in full through Priceline We called the day of the check in and explained to them that our flight is canceled due to weather condition and we will have to drive to Florida They said no problem, get here whenever you want

We get there the day after our check in time to be told that the hotel made a mistake and canceled our reservation because we did a no show The two ladies at the front desk from midnight and morning shifts were nice and tried to accommodate us but the morning manager was extremely unprofessional, rude, and wasn’t trying to do anything to fix the situation which she admitted it’s their fault We were refunded by Priceline, but the whole situation was inconvenient and stressful to have to find another hotel last minute Luckily we found another hotel where they appreciate their clients business and have more professionalism Never going to this hotel again!

Jennifer Collins, Realtor

I was impressed with the location as I was able to walk to the beach in 2-3 minutes, and I was 4 minutes from St Armand’s circle! Our family was able to walk anywhere we wanted and shop till we dropped!Breakfast is not included in the price of the room but is available until 11:00 The buffet option is $20 per person or you may order from the menu The view of the ocean is the perfect morning refreshment!As for problem solving, the hotel was more than accommodating and responsive

I was especially impressed with the young lady at the front desk with her positive attitude and demeanor The only recommendation I might say to the owner is to update the mattresses There are some super affordable comfortable mattresses these days that come rolled up in a box and ship easily Other than that, I had a very nice stay!

Kerry Petz

The front desk staff were always welcoming and helpful The views speak for themselves, even when there are 30 mile an hour winds and a bit a chill in the air Primary areas of the hotel are clean and nice

Our room was on the parking lot side and guessing not the renovated side Our bathroom shower head was low, my son and I had to bend sideways to wash our hair being we are over 5’8 The tub liner was floating off the original tub and drainage was slow We called about the drain and if maintenance came it did not resolve the issue I write this so future guests have an accurate description of the rooms you could be given It was a perfect location to travel the area from, but as other guests have mentioned time for some upgrades and tlc for a property that could be even more amazing

Urban Traveler

Dated That’s the one word I would use to describe this propertyBathroom gave me the creeps and you needed courage to venture in there, there were stains on the carpet, AC equipment was way too noisy, not enough elevators for the quantity of rooms by floor, swimming pool always crowded

This hotel must have been top notch in the 90’s but clearly not nowadaysHowever, every cloud has a silver lining they say and staff did their best to patch everything upLocation is unbeatable with public beach that is gorgeous right in front of the hotel however when I put into the equation the price paid I believe I am not break evenGuess I will not come back unfortunately

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!

We had a great stay The price, amenities, free breakfast and decent rooms made for a comfortable stay Thank you to Caroline who works front desk ! she was very kind and answered any questions we had, our room key had stopped working and she with no problem replaced it for a new one

We enjoyed the pool and hot tub, its in a great area right across from local stores and restaurants and most important its only a few minutes from siesta key beach! We will definitely be back 😊

Uyen Dang

The room doesn’t look fancy but decent enough with the price, cheapest we could find with close range to the beach and have good reviews Our room is very clean and it takes about 8 min for us to drive to the beach The breakfast is free and includes normal dishes like egg and sausage, however tastes excellent comparing to all the breakfast we’ve ever had at other hotels

Hotel doesn’t allow you to take their towels to the beach though so bring your own towels!

Jeffrey Martinez

We decided to go to the beach over the weekend to relax, and we chose Siesta Key The hotel was spotless, and the staff was friendly We were greeted when we arrived, and the gentleman at the front desk (from St

Cloud, MN) forgot his name I believe Joshua that I may be mistaken He was very helpful in mapping out our next day’s itinerary, showing us how to get around and the best places to visit This was extremely helpful to us because we were new to the area and needed to visit the same places I was relieved that the hotel was clean and did not have that moldy odorI didn’t feel stuffy at all when I woke up The breakfast included in the morning was delicious, especially the pancake maker, which was my personal favorite Every time, they are fresh and properly cooked They also had eggs, bagels, coffee, drinks, and so on The hotel is in a great location and close to Geko grill and bar, which is fantastic if you arrive late and can order Togo and walk there The pizza there is fantastic!! Furthermore, the pool was warm and clean, and there is an outside area called Sand Dollar I liked how the accidental room charge of $30 per night when staying there could be used to pay for drinks at the Sand Dollar Highly recommend this hotel

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!

Live in Jupiter and had to spend one night in Sarasota for a friends late birthday party The hotel looks brand new, the next day we were shocked to learn it’s almost 3 years old Service was excellent, a whole non-smoking floor, room was clean and the sheets were soft as anything you have at home! A/C was cold, bathroom was super clean

The next day we had the pleasure speaking with Jodi at the desk? Former head of housekeeping now assistant general manager she is one of the biggest reasons the place maintains such high quality She truly cares Keep it up JODI

Rebecca Jackson

Excellent hotel and service! Highly recommend! Location was excellent off 75 but you would never know it because it was quiet and peaceful! The pool area, rooms and staff were amazing! Free hot or cold breakfasts were perfect! We always stay at Hiltons and this one was all that we expected and more! Thanks to the courteous, friendly and helpful staff! Usually stay closer to the beaches but this was a fast drive to beaches, right down Bee Ridge… It almost goes to the entrance of one side of Siesta Key Most of our day trips were to places off of Interstate 75 so the location was perfect!

Екатерина Мергес

It is a nice and clean hotel They have a heated pool, which is a plus if you have kids The gym isn’t that good

If you are a fitness person you would understand It looks very depressing and demotivating and it is small!!! Very small! The breakfast options aren’t great Everyone says is because of COVID but it is just an excuse The stuff was nice and responsive The location is convenient

We have stayed at this property many times and always had a wonderful stay The facilities and Beach club are fantastic But this time we were even more impressed with how friendly and helpful the employees were— across the board// from Rachel at the front desk? Who always remembered sho we were, to Tatum and his crew on the beach, to Todd and his brother at the front door

Our favorite was Jane at the cute little market at the Beach Club, Kemp’s Market The items are very tasteful ( I think my wife and I bought one of everything), but Jane was the one that made it special – sweet, helpful, and mostly, genuine Make sure to stop in and see Jane

Bella Luna

Pros:Beautiful hotelGood locationClean, nice roomsStaff very friendlyBikes and other fun amenitiesBeach club- some may view this as a con because the hotel isn’t on the beach but it was really nice There’s a huge pool with service as well as shaded loungers in the beach They give you complementary ice cold water and towels, there’s a few choices to eat as well as lockers to wash off

It’s actually pretty amazing They have shuttles every hour to take you thereCons:The club level could have a little better food in terms of selection (it may be worth it if you value convenience)No fridge in the roomIf you have a baby or toddler that sleeps in the crib you may be better off bringing your own The crib they had was really small, and metal My son didn’t sleep well in it

Kenny L

Stayed for 4 nights, there both the good and the bad The good, the access to the beach club is the main reason you want to stay in this hotel If you don’t go to the beach, don’t stay here

The hotel also has some games that are fun to spend time They have a pool table, table tennis, foosball table (broken), puck sliding There are bikes to use but only for adults The hotel pool is kind of small but it is nice that you can sit by the pool and they bring you drinks And in my opinion, all rooms don’t have a nice view, one side is looking over the road, the other side looking over a little harbour There is one shuttle going to the beach club every top of an hour and stopping by the circle However, one evening at 8:35 at the circle the bus came in full, so we needed to wait for 30 minutes for the bus to come back The bad, the facility is not luxury at all, it is aged and the hotel took out all the costs The tile under the toilet seat turned yellow which is very disgusting They only have cheap pens in the room There is just no luxury in this hotel at all and I would call this only a 3 star experience Last thing is this hotel and Ritz as a whole really need to review their sustainability strategy because it is basically disregarding the environment impact at all It is surprising that a hotel that big, with the beach club has no thoughts of any recycling, or anything to save the environment that it is in
