It takes a while for hot water in the shower so you might be tempted to think something is wrong.

It was like bath water and not refreshing whatsoever.

The only small concern was the low water pressure in the shower,

Our only complaint was the shower- it had very low water pressure.

This shower has no drain so the water just pools by the side of the room.

Walking distance to the beautiful beaches and the entertainment of Siesta Key Village was so convenient.

Steps away from the beach, pool and village!

All the beach extras included were a major plus - chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, cart, etc.

It’s super close to the village, is basically across the street from the beach and has a pool.

(101 also has a pull out couch)

I could walk to the beach easily, and I have trouble walking so that’s saying a lot.

It has all the beach supplies and is a short walk to town.

The beach access which is a very short walk away does not have public parking so it is like having our own private beach.

The high points about Sea Spray are one block to the beach (at Beach Access 10), very clean and well maintained, spacious rooms with kitchenettes, and a fantastic location not far from the village.

Our apartment (#203, the Egret) was spacious, clean and has everything you need to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation (beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels) as well as a mini-kitchen (full-sized fridge, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher).

Close walk to the beach access 10 and the trolley stop.

They give you beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and a cart.

0.6 mile walk to village,  steps to beach.

Beach towels and beach equipment were provided.

Bob was extremely detailed and gave us great information about the surrounding area, and even hooked us up with a great beach buggy, umbrellas, and chairs (all included) to find our way to the cool sugar sand of the ocean.

We had enough towels both bath and beach and enough supplies for our 7 night stay, the details were thoughtful!

The room was very clean, had a nicely stocked kitchen, provides beach towels, beach gear, and wagons to transport things back and forth.

- Can walk to beach

We paid $349 per night for all that grossness!!

Really good location and the beach supplies were very handy.

There is no elevator so you need to climb stairs if you book on the second or third floors.

Upper level rooms may present challenges for some guests given no elevator.

Bob & staff were exceptionally friendly at every encounter.

The accommodations were satisfactory and comfortable, the staff was friendly, and the property's location was convenient.

Bob runs the place and he is friendly, helpful, and thinks of everything.

Bob was very welcoming and cleaning staff friendly.

Just spent a week with Bob, Gigi, and the friendly crew there in #7.

The staff is super friendly and always very accommodating.

Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful.

Bob who runs the place is very accommodating and friendly along with the other staff.

We were greeted by Bob who was warm and friendly.

The owners are amazing, very friendly and accommodating.

Bob and the entire staff are super friendly and always greet you with a smile.

The staff is amazing, accommodating, and friendly.

The staff is very friendly and really accommodating.

Very friendly, well equipped, what a great touch to have chairs, umbrellas, and a beach cart for your use.

Bob and the staff were friendly and personable.

Bob and Sharon were wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable.

Bob, the resort owner, made it SO EASY to check-in.

Bob and his crew were all very nice and helpful 👍 😀 👌.

Getting the phone call from Bob the morning of our arrival and welcoming us to check-in at any time was first class.

Thank you again to Bob and the entire staff!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights and from check in to check out, Bob was wonderful and helpful.

Couple who operates the place were welcoming and helpful.

The provided chairs, cart with umbrella are great along with the tropical landscaping and neighborhood to walk and enjoy.

The village is approximately half mile walk from hotel.

Half mile walk into the village (restaurants, bars, grocery).

Takes about 10-12 minutes to walk into the village to any of the wonderful restaurant offerings, a grocery store, the trolly or Froghopper tips only taxi…and is a block from the gorgeous beach.

but we stayed at a condo that was close to the beach, but over a mile walk to the village.

The village was a .5 mile walk that even my six year old could easily do.

Easy walk to the beach or downtown to shop or eat out.

Quick walk into town if you want a bit of nightlife.

Easy access to beach (>5 minutes to beach trail) and about a 10-15 minute walk to the village.

Within a 10 minute walk to the village and 2 to 4 minute walk to the beach.

If you want to stay somewhere where you can walk across the street and be on the beach then this is the place for you!

but close enough to walk for all the fun and sun we could want 😊😊

The beach is a  block away and the village is half mile walk.

The beach is a brief walk away and with no public beach parking it is almost like you have your own beach with a soft beach sand.

Be aware it's still a couple minutes walk to the beach from the public entrance since Siesta beach is so wide.

There are carts available to walk to the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas!

Great location: easy walk to BEST beach and into town for dinner/sunset.

but to sum it up the condo is amazing, location couldn't of been better (3 minute walk to the beach and less than a 10 minute easy walk to downtown where all the bars and restaurants are) We will absolutely be back and hopefully can stay for a longer time next occasion!

The walk to the beach was an easy 5 minutes.

The beach is a few minute walk away and not crowded.

This hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10-15 minute walk to the village.

Walk to the beautiful beach or walk to the village for shopping and nice assortment of restaurants.

The location is perfect with a short walk across the street to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the village where we had dinner.

I walked along the beach at night and felt totally safe!

We chose to stay here so we could walk to the beach and the village.

Great location: short walk to Siesta key Village and an even shorter walk to the beach.

The blinds, baseboards, and most surfaces need a deep cleaning.

We had to open all the doors and windows to be able to beathe. 2.

Large vertical Blinds need replacing with curtains and poles as these were not practical for privacy either.

When the lady in the office first brought us to the room she goes let me open the blinds to “let it air out.” It smelled so bad it was a combination of disinfectant and a moldy smell.

This hotel is in the middle of nothing except the airport.

Those flying in will find it conveniently situated just outside the airport.

Chose this for the airport convenience and affordability

Be warned right next to the airport, so you hear a lot of plane traffic.

It's also very quiet considering the proximity to the airport.

Very close to the airport, so nice to stay there before an early flight.

Located just two minutes from Sarasota airport it’s a very convenient location.

Location of the hotel is convenient, close to the airport, 10 minutes away from UTC mall and only 17 minutes away from IMG Academy.

Hotel backs up to mobile home park and across from airport.

Great location near the Sarasota airport - staff very helpful, accommodating and pleasant

Rooms clean and breakfast buffet was very good - similar to other properties

I used Marriott points for my stay, good Marriott property , clean room - king suite ect.front desk staff friendly , breakfast buffet good , no blender for yogurt smoothies ,,

overall no problems , location is by airport and easy acess to Bradenton and the town plus beaches..

Springhill Suites Sarasota Bradenton is convenient to airport.

The property is located conveniently next to the airport and is a relatively new building.

Right by the Sarasota airport and tons of shopping, restauranta and attractions (including the art museum an a classic car museum).

The hotel is located directly across the street from the Sarasota airport, and offered a nice continental breakfast in the morning.

The staff was good and friendly for the most part.

The only redeeming thing about the hotel was the two breakfast attendants who were amazingly friendly, outgoing, bubbly, and efficient.

Hotel team members are friendly and helpful.

The rooms are incredibly spacious, clean and comfortable, and the staff are always friendly!

Upon check-in, Front Desk Receptionist (I think her name was Rose) was so friendly and pleasant.

The location of this hotel is convenient and the front desk staff is friendly.

Friendly staff, clean,  
convenient to stores and shops, nice pool, and very nice fitness center, good breakfast.

Instead, the front desk were very friendly and made sweet jokes of our worries.

This hotel has a great location, very nice and friendly staff and very spacious rooms,

The check-in staff was very friendly and the hotel itself and the room were clean.

The staff, especially Michael & George are friendly and professional.

The staff is friendly the breakfast is good.

Adam at check in was professional, friendly and very informative by highlighting 3 or 4 main things I would need to know as a new guest.

This hotel is located right across the street.

Good location, hotel update looks nice, BUT, The hotel inside feels dark, not light and bright; same as in the rooms.

Plenty of nicer places to stay in a better area 5 miles West of this location.

We were very happy with the personable and helpful staff, the rooms were very clean, the location was excellent for walks, good dining, and just relaxing, and we thought the price was very fair.

The location is good with free parking, internet and breakfast.

Since the hotel was clean and in a good location I would probably stay again if nothing else was available.

The breakfast was fine and the location is convenient and clean.

but if I strike out and I can again score a similar killer rate on this location I'd consider staying there again.

Fantastic location close to everything in the area, great suite accommodations, includes complimentary high speed internet and complimentary breakfast and restaurants & shopping nearby.

The hotel location is great for Sarasota and environs,

My air conditioning barely worked and was droning loudly all night.

8) I placed the agent on the speaker phone so she can hear the night manager’s tone, attitude, and dismissal of the situation.

We were afraid w'd be put in a closet down the hallway at a horrendous price.

The bathroom exhaust fan, which came on when the light was turned on, sounded like a jet engine.

The improvements involved a wing of the hotel and did not disturb the guests with typical construction noises.

A very strange noise from the bathroom all night long, musty smell near closet so did not hang up my clothes,  iron spilled out water and black all over my white blouse.

It also blew directly on the bed so there was no escaping the draft or the loud noise it if you didn't want to be hot.

but I've only heard 1 airplane and I stayed in my room more of the day.

The rooms (we tried several) smell musty and old, the furniture is creaky and wobbly, the A/C is a noisy floor unit that inadequately cools the room.

However, there was noticeable road traffic noise.

I did not hear a plane takeoff or land at all.

Only problem was there is no backup generator, so when power went out, so did the the guests.

Didn't offer to change our room, just threw us 500 Marriott points, wow, what am I going to do with those, and sent down a dehumidifier, which sounded like a jet engine and only worked for half of the room.

I had to use a newspaper to fan the smoke alarm for the sound to be off.

The air conditioning was so noisy that my husband hardly slept all night.

though airport was near, never was distracted by plane noise.

Did not get a king bed, air conditioner was too loud and layout of the room was really odd.

The attendant said, "We are only serving breakfast until 8:30 today," when asked why there was no food, sending a Little League team coach and his team into a panic.

We requested to speak with a manager and no one was on duty.

The first floor elevator is out so we asked to stay on the first floor so as not to have to carry our luggage up the steps.

When she asked why our room didn't have one they said they would check into it.

but a customer asked staff for assistance because it wasn’t working.

Please note, the Marriott Customer Service Agent was on the phone and I even asked her if that was true that the communal area closed at 12pm.

The first room we were given when we checked it had such a musty smell that we asked for another room.

The Mobile check-in is worthless since he asked I pulled my Credit card to swipe it (even

If that's a problem for you, request a room higher up on the back side of the building and further back from the road.

I asked the front desk why the alarm would go off like that and will it happen again?

I asked to speak with the hotel manager and was told that he would not be in for a few minutes.

We asked about the cribs and were told they didn't have any.

Asked 3 times to have it checked and nothing.

I had asked the front desk to email me a copy of our final bill which I haven't received yet so will have to call.

He asked to put me on hold while he called the hotel where I asked why couldn’t that have been done 5 days prior?

I requested a link for my guests to use to book and continued to request this from July until I finally got it in JANUARY.

We were initially assigned a room next to the ice maker and asked to move.

We went down to the desk and asked for another room.

Went downstairs and I asked how could housekeeping clean the toilet without water.

but they worked very hard to cover it up - so you may want to request to check your room if you're sensitive to that.

Hotel we were walked to, Kompose Hotel Sarasota,  was excellent.

I look forward to staying at this hotel the next time I return to Sarasota!

This is our new go to hotel when in the Sarasota area!

We had an extremely pleasant stay; close to the main attraction of Sarasota: the Ringling Museum and grounds.

You made me feel at home and I will definitely return when I am in Sarasota again.

If you are traveling to Sarasota, I highly, highly recommend this hotel.

We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Sarasota.

We stayed at the Springhill Suites Sarasota Bradenton for 2 nights during Christmas to visit family.

but enjoyed Sarasota so much we stayed an extra night!

Stay here for business and it's right across the street from Sarasota/Bradenton airport.

I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Sarasota.

We were taking a week long vacation down the Gulf visiting friends & family and book several nights in different SpringHill Suites from Tampa, Sarasota and Ft Myers.

When we arrived the front desk attendant told us they had our room ready for us (2 queen beds) on the 3rd floor.

We are Marriott Vacation owners and usually depend on the high quality of their hotels.

Employees there were extremely helpful and courteous

This place is a super black eye for Marriot which to my surprise hasn't been corrected.

Desk clerk was the only employee in the entire hotel.

Staff alerted and replied she would alert supervisor in the am.

The staff, especially Monica and Jorge, were incredibly helpful and attentive.

During both stays, I had the pleasure of talking to George and Jessika at the front desk.

Chris at the front desk was very helpful also.

It's evident that the staff is well managed.

I’m expressing my discontent with specific staff and how they handled this entire situation.

The room was dirty, not enough towels, hallways were dingy with ripped wallpaper.

If you want clean towels you need to bring the dirty ones to the front desk and get the clean ones.

No towels in the room and none available to pick up at the front desk until The next morning, making showering and cleaning up impossible.

Long story short - the room smelled of mold and mildew, which triggered a migraine and a cough, the sheets and towels were damp and the couch and the rug were dirty.

but to lay a towel to sleep even on my pillows!

What a pleasure to not have to call down and wait for towels.

The pool towels were not stocked when we were there,

The cons were maids that didn't empty waste baskets or replace towels, a dead cockroach in residence on arrival, and a very crowded breakfast area.

but still noticeable issues included paper-thin bath towels and a truly filthy, gross carpet in the elevator.

There were a few maintenance issues, toilet not flushing properly, towel holder in restroom coming off the wall not to mention the room stewart trying to get inside the room at 930am to clean up while I was in the shower.

but free)
5) Clean Rooms

Cons:
1) The hotel needs to be renovate (towels, furniture, bedding beginning to show wear and tear and don't get me started on the tv)
2) There is only one clunky tv (that does not have a swivel console) in the suite.
