Stayed at the hotel with wife and twins aged 3 and had only one complaint; the breafast area was too small. The room was a typical Hampton Inn room and offered us what we required. The pool area was ideal for the wee ones. The shopping was ideal for the wife. I would stay here again. more

Stayed here for one night. The sheets on my bed had holes in them. My comforter was stained. I woke up with bug bites. The bathroom had mold. The water running through the pipes and air conditioning were so loud it felt like a 747 was landing in my room. I was so uncomfortable at this place that I did... more

Great music on the Manatee River with a view of the Interstate. Good cheeseburgers and fish sammiges. more

Our family recently stayed at GuestHouse Inn in Ellenton Florida. I booked the room through the 1-800 number because, I was unable to get through to the Ellenton location. Once we arrived the front desk clerk was unable to find our reservation and replied that they lose them all the time. I was worried because, we were in town for... more

We just enjoyed our second consecutive Friday evening at Hickory Hollow. I don't care for barbeque ... however I love this place and the food! The NC pulled pork is amazing, the ribs are succulent, and the greens are cooked to perfection. My husband and I are both from the Midwest originally ... the genuine good food, nature, and intentions... more

Went with my daughter on a business trip for 2 days and her company booked us here. I was very please with the rooms the view and the staff. The pool is nice and clean but as others have stated it is noisy from the highway that is near. It did not bother me though as I was using it... more

Woody's River Roo offers fine food at reasonable prices. It is located on the Manatee River in Ellenton, across US 301 from the outlet mall. Service is prompt and friendly. It can get crowded on weekends. On Sundays, it is a popular spot for bikers. For casual outdoor dining on a sunny day, Woody's is ideal. If you are looking... more

We were in Florida at Easter 2008 (our 5th visit to the state) and as always we like to eat out and try local restaurants rather than tourist traps. I checked on my friends pc before we booked this restaurant as I wanted to see what was good in the locality. The review was actually for the sister restaurant and... more

Finally, a non-chain BBQ in Manatee County worth going to. Through our friends at TripAdvisor we discovered this great little BBQ shack literally 5 minutes from our house in Bradenton. We almost missed the place driving at night because the sign doesn't light up. "Why doesn't the sign light?" you ask. That's because this place closes at 8pm. Get there... more

We decided to have a bit of a cultural come shopng day out from our base in Indian Shroes,FL. So we searched and found a plantation and thought that would be a good place to go to learn about the real Florida,plus it was not far from the ellenton outlet mall where my wife and daughters wanted to really go!... more

Was here at this Subway, and I have to say that it was one of the friendliest and cleanest I have ever been in-- Very nice selection and a great healthy alternative to the fast food and food court type eateries.. more

NB The Hamptons now have the new bed linens (suggest you take a look at main Hampton website. It may be mainly a business persons hotel, however we found this ideal, as it is nice and... more

This is my all-time favorite barbeque place. Donnie, the owner, is the sweetest human being that walks the earth. How she tranforms meat and veggies into food of the gods, is down right miraculous. Okay here's what to order: the pork barbeque dinner (traditional), with corn pudding, spinach souffle and squash & cheese. And don't forget the hush puppies. I... more
