To start my review, let me set the context. We were a family of three, with our son being 17 months old. We wanted something with 2 rooms so he could nap, as well as providing us w/ some extra space. The Residence Inn fit the bill, but I was a bit worried because there weren't glowing reviews here. But... more

Stayed here for one week in April and everythig was positive. Went back in August and had nothing but problems. Room next to noisy pool/barbecue area - moved us upstairs to a room that door lock did not work. Saw a locked door in bedroom and wondered where it went to - that night we found out - behind the... more

So I've been a resident at this hotel for the past two summers (this one included) and am amazed at how far it has sunk in less than a year. One of the first things I noticed was the general cleanliness of the hotel. In terms of the maid service, it's just not as thorough as it was, probably because... more

Old and dingy. Needs a face lift bad. Stay at the Spring Hill Suites next door if you like cleanliness. Beds are small queens and uncomfortable. Pillows have no support at all. Coffee in lobby is awful. They use only the cheapest coffee and cheapest teas and foods. Bathroom faucets are old and rusted and partially corroded. Disgusting! In poor... more

We then were lucky enough to be given our room which was next door to three... more

My husband and I spent one very short night at the Residence Inn in Sarasota, located across University Parkway from the airport. We live about an hour away from this airport and have stayed many, many times in the Sarasota area over the last 16 years. We often take early morning flights out of SRQ and have stayed at the... more

I booked a 2 br suite with my adult daughter so we could enjoy a holiday together and still have our privacy. This is one of the few "suite" hotels where what we got was a real suite. In fact, it was a two bedroom apartment about the same size as the apartment in the assisted living community my mom... more

This is a fabulous guest-oriented hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean and well appointed, e.g., the one bedroom room has two televisions, a wonderful kitchen completely equipped and there was an outdoor grill and small heated pool/spa. I was impressed by the staff - always courteous and helpful. The hot full breakfast is great, although at times the dining area... more
