Other things to note:

1. the pool/bar is quaint and spacious
2. bagels only for breakfast
3. no exercise facility or affiliation with any local gym (I’d recommend management pursue an agreement with EoS for guests to get discounted daily/weekly rates, which is 3-5 minute drive from the hotel).

The free hot breakfast was a dissapointment compare to other hotels where I had free breakfast.

Nightly popcorn and cookies, breakfast, and a hot tub.

The complimentary breakfast offered was average with fresh bananas and oranges.

but it was very clean well runned and had what you needed for a siesta key vacation the breakfast was set up very nicely each morning and the pool was very nice and clean and they had a small bar which was perfect for an afternoon cocktail would definitely go back

Free breakfast was above average with many choices.

Breakfast was plentiful and good despite the crowd.

Loved the hot breakfast and evening popcorn!

The included hot breakfast had a nice variety of foods to choose from.

The breakfast room is large with a decent selection.

The buffet breakfast is fresh and varied for all dietary needs.

Very clean, great breakfast and a very handy location to everything we visited.

The room was, clean and quiet; breakfast choices included hot items as well as cold cereals and pastries.

The room was very clean, the staff friendly and the coffee and simple breakfast in morning was perfect.

There is also a free shuttle (just tip the driver).

There is a free shuttle service that takes you to the beach and other local businesses.

There are plenty of things within walking distance as far as restaurants and things to do plus the free shuttle to the beaches/village was super convenient.

Free shuttle to beach and Siesta village all day and evening!

They have a free shuttle that takes you to the beach -- what a plus!!

They provide free shuttles to Siesta Key Beach and Village.

The free shuttle service was a life saver for getting to and from the island!

The staff was friendly and kind, the room was clean, and the free shuttle (tip the drives) to and from the beach is one of the best things about this property.

The free shuttle was so helpful because we chose not to rent a car, which we frankly didn’t need.

With that said, I will start with the positives, they do offer a decent breakfast compared to other hotels I have recently stayed at and the free shuttle service is definitely a bonus.

The free shuttle service to the beach is great

Everything is nearby and they even offer a free shuttle to the beach.

This hotel was exactly what we needed: clean, friendly, pool, and a pool bar, and a  free shuttle to the beach and village.

I really enjoyed the free shuttle to the beaches.

There is a Free Shuttle that runs from Turtle Beach (South End) to the Village (North End) and there are some lovely beaches.

The free shuttle is a great way to get around Siesta Key.

There is free shuttle service which we didn’t need as we had our car.

They have a free shuttle service to take you around to a number of attractions in the local area.

The hotel a provides a free shuttle to the beach.

Guests were were friendly; we made new friends from Ft. Myers Beach.

Guests seemed very happy and were friendly!

Overall the place was very clean and the staff were very friendly.

Staff was friendly and things were clean.

Staff at the front desk were very friendly and efficient.

The staff is friendly and really tries to please.

The room was clean, comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast.

Troy at the front desk was friendly and always smiling!

Brian the pool bartender was super friendly.

but the pool is freezing and you can’t have drinks or food in the pool area.

Pool area surrounded by palm trees and has a cozy pool area tiki bar.

Nice pool area with many seating areas and games for entertainment.

Lovely pool area and on some nights a bar with live entertainment which were very good.

We enjoyed the pool area which is next to a cute, little outside bar — with heaters in case it’s cold!

Nice fire pit by the pool area nice bonus!

The pool area was wonderful and bar with music in the afternoons.

The hotel grounds are beautiful and well maintained, the pool area was one of our favorite places, especially the Jacuzzi!

The pool area is great and even has a bar.

Your location was very nice, we loved the pool area, and the games, hot tub, the bar area.

Pool area is very nice and water is warm.

There is a great pool area with a bar, plenty of sun beds.

In addition there is a bar by the pool area and there is live entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights.

The only area to do this is the pool area.

It was a very cool time so never used the swimming pool area

The breakfast was gross, fake eggs and stale bread.

Dark spots on bathroom grout (mold? mildew?)

Do yourself a favor: STAY AWAY from this nasty, dirty, smelly dump !!!!

Stay away from the hot tub, so many chemicals our skin/hair was messed up almost a week later.

Booked 1 month ago and when we got there they had booked our rooms to others, room smelled bad and tiny bugs all over.

Carpet was nasty, manager would not return my call.

Many people now a days do not like the smoke!

Instead we got a view of the parking lot and apparently everybody would come and stand outside our room to smoke cigarettes so it filled our room with smoke.

The eggs were disgusting way too much salt.

but our room had a musty smell and was outdated.

and there was dried poop smeared on the side of the toilet bowl.

even though we put ours off Changed room at 10 pm as too noisy New room was slightly better still fan noise in bathroom as well as a bit of an odour!

Staff did not seem to be bothered by this disgusting incident.

The new room, located at the 4th floor seemed bether and didn´t smell like the first one.

The toilet in the bathroom smelled *strongly* of sewer gas.

To make matters worse they blew debris and sand all over my newly detailed car.

The air con would turn off and was noisy.

The room was clean, AC was loud, there were cracked bathroom tiles, found a long dark hair on a towel.

One problem, the AC fan blew on the farthest bed, a common situation in hotels.

However, we are not fans of common use serving spoons and tongs.

my only issue was that the air conditioner did not work in the fitness center.

The bathroom exhaust fan was non existant or broken.

My only complaint with the room was the loudness of the air conditioner.

There were school sports teams there and the hotel was at capacity so the water heater did not restore to a warm temp for us to shower.

- while the thermostat really responds, don’t be afraid to lower it during night as it gets warm only to raise it as you get-up.

When I got to my new room Juan had set the heat to the specific temperature I had mentioned when he tried to fix the heater in my first room.

The bathroom floor was sticky and the air conditioning unit was clunky.

Only disappointment was that the AC motion sensor turned the room temp up while we were gone and the room was damp and warm upon our return.

There was no fan for ventilation in the bathroom and you could see where they'd painted over mold stains on the ceiling of the tub.

I am happy that they are finally installing additional washing machines as one is just not enough, especially during soccer tournaments.

He told me the government made them install the Inncom thermostats.

There was a cockroach in our room and the a/c has broken.

This hotel had some issues with their A.C. Units.

Excellent customer service, quiet room great location near airport.

Was recently their and had a great stay , I was their for 3 days and Drew @ the front desk was great clean newly remodeled rooms and great breakfast options , and great location near the airport and near the beaches and a bit safer area 

I took video and pics  and posted it on tik tok 
coastiegal68 is my acct with video portion of my hotel room .

proximity to the airport with shuttle was a huge plus

First off, if you're flying in or out of the fabulous (little) Sarasota Bradenton Airport, this hotel is the closest and within walking distance of the airport.

No hallway noise which is a plus I would recommend this Hampton also close to the airport.

If you are looking for a hotel near the airport in Sarasota/Bradenton this is perfect.

My Fiancée and I Stayed at your Hotel located at 975 University Drive Sarasota Florida near the Airport.

we stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, staff was great and friendly, By the airport within walking distance to some nice areas and ocean .

Very close to airport and Ringling Museum as well as New College of Florida.

The hotel is very close to the airport and it’s kid friendly there is a full gym and great big pool.

This Hampton Inn is close to the airport and convenient to downtown.

Spent 3 nights here; comfy, nicely appointed, clean and surprisingly quiet despite its proximity to the airport.

So close to the airport and Uber trip to/from the airport is complementary as well.

We also noticed how quiet it was which surprised us because of it's close proximity to the airport.

Great location near the airport and Sarasota , excellent staff both front desk and housekeeping, superior breakfast selections and oversight by attendant   
I am a diamond member an =d stay here frequently and would would never go anywhere else in Sarasota.

It is close to airport & we never heard any planes.

Perfect location outside the city and close to the airport.

but isn’t that the point of staying close to the airport?

Included breakfast was quite large in variety and good.

(I also had a free delicious cookie one night).

Hotel was clean, rooms were nice, and breakfast did not disappoint.

Breakfast was great and had lots of options.

The breakfast buffet was inviting, clean and plentiful.

The morning breakfast was very good and there were plenty of choices to pick from.

Love the modern decor, the variety of food at breakfast, and the glass of wine at check-in on Thursday evening was such a nice touch!

Breakfast was ok needs music or TV back in the dining area where it use to be.

Wifi good, breakfast good as we have come to expect at the Hampton!

Hot buffet breakfast with vast choices, 2 free bottled water daily (if you ask), free parking, free wi fi.

Breakfast was hot and had a good variety.

The breakfast was good, with lots of choice.

However, we enjoyed what we had at breakfast and everything was spotlessly clean.

Breakfast was okay..  We always stay here when in Sarasota..

We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and the afternoon snacks at the font desk were a wonderful touch.

Because the rooms are not cleaned often the carpets need to be replaced.

Carpets are worn and dirty, needs paint .

In addition to the booking fail, the carpet in the rooms were also very filthy.

They have removed the draperies and replaced them with pull down shades, carpet is poor quality.

Carpet in the room was very stained and unsightly which was quite unpleasant

You can tell the carpets in the rooms and halls have not been cleaned for at least 6 months.

Very small rooms, dirty carpet, and the staff would not provide me with a receipt upon checking out.

Carpet stains throughout the hotel hall and in our room.

No laundry room and hallway carpet very dirty.

The walls are grey and the carpet is a dingy grey.

.the carpets were dirty, the walls were dirty, the refrigerator didn't work, dust everywhere, and the curtain rod in the bathroom was ready to fall off the wall.

There is some minor things the hotel is still working on such as new carpeting or carpet cleaning is needed throughout the hotel and also some extra cable channels.

there just stains on the wall , couch , curtains, and on the carpet

The lighter color choice of carpet was a poor one for a hotel.

There were some stains on the carpet in my room,

Carpet worn, drapes dangling off of the hooks, bathroom needed caulked.

Carpets throughout the hotel and in our room were a spotted mess.

The hallway carpets had obvious stains and were in need of cleaning.

On the downside, carpet had stains and wrappers,

Great, friendly staff,  very good breakfast, comfortable rooms, near Ringling Art Museum, Ringling Circus Museum, and Asolo State Theaters.

The hotel was a perfect choice, only a 3-minute drive to the hotel from the museum which  we toured first.

Location is good - close to museums and airport.

And the location is great , half mile away from the John and Mable Rangling museum of Art.

He doesn't just point when asking directions, he walked me out to the sidewalk to show me where the car museum and the Ringling Museum are located.

It is also close to the beautiful Ringling Museum and close to many nice restaurants.

You can walk to the airport , rose garden and museum.

We would stay here again as the location is close to shopping, a mile from the Ringling Museum, and a 10 minute drive to downtown.

Walking distance from The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art.

It is located within a 10-15 minute drive of everything in Sarasota (airport, Ringling museum, indoor mall etc.)

This is a very comfortable modernly decorated Hampton Inn in a superb location, at the gates of the SRQ airport, a one minute drive from the Tamaimi Trail and the Ringling Museum and ten minutes to the I-75.

Shopping, museum and beaches all close by.

It's literally one minute from and on the same street as the entrance to the Ringling Museum.

The Ringling Museum and the Sarasota Classic Car Museum are less than 5 minutes drive.

Great location near the Ringling Museum and downtown.

Hotel is right outside the airport yet allows quick and easy access to Museums, St. Armands Circle  downtown Sarasota and Bradenton FL.

The motel is close to the Sarasota airport and close to the Ringling Museum and school.

The location is quiet and safe, and close to the Ringling Museum and located near many restaurants.

It was close enough to shopping, beaches and museums, restaurants were close too.

We were in Sarasota for the first time to sightsee with The Ringling as a focus.

Location is pretty good - it's right across from the Ringling Museun, close to downtown Sarasota, and about 15 minutes from St. Armands Circle.

The hotel is located right by the Ringling Museum and the airport.

You can walk to the Sarasota Car Museum and the Ringling Museums.

We went to the Ringling museum which was less than a mile down the street.

It is only about a mile from the Ringling complex.

The hotel was very close to the Ringling and getting there from this hotel couldn’t be any easier.

On our free day we were able to spend time enjoying the Ringling Museum/house/grounds - a mere 3 blocks away.

We chose this hotel because it was conveniently located near the Ringling Museum, and it was an easy drive to Lido Key.

The location is perfect for Asolo Theatre attendees or the Ringling Museum campus.

The location is great if you need to be near the airport or the Ringling Museum which was my goal.

It is also within walking distance of the Ringling Museum and has a bunch of restaurants and activities within a short driving distance.
