The staff was great and breakfast was fantastic

Liked: Location and the breakfast
Disliked: Beds, water pressure, no hot water, no tv guide for n what channels were available, and very hot at night (even when A/C was on the lowest

April 10-12 Hampton Inn Sarasota/Bradenton

Liked: The staff was exceptional, day and night!We liked the availability of breakfast, and the hospitality of the hotel offering complimetary cookies and flavored water for guests (although we didn't personally have opportunity to taste-test, so cannot comment on quality or value).We loved the overall esthetic of the property and its noticeable updates, and the room and bed/bedding were extremely comfortable and functional for travelers.
Disliked: Property could use some serious attention. Mold visible in shower around soap tray and little "shelf"; all except one or two of our towels plus bath mat were threadbare in areas and, although they clearly had been freshly laundered, appeared soiled or dingy; the outdoor area around pool and the adjacent patio were borderline hazardous--massive visible rust on many outdoor chairs right on the seat area, all outdoor cushioned seating was dirty/moldy, mismatched tables that didn't look like they were cleaned the entire time we were there (3 days/2 nights), an umbrella patio table that was cracked in many spots and also slimy/sticky/dirty with food and other "organic" matter from birds and animals (remained so the entire time we were there), pool looked potentially enticing, but noticing those kinds of oversights, we shied away from swimming (lack of attention elsewhere made us wonder about how well pool is being maintained). Also, this is more of a personal gripe, and not limited to this brand or location, but not everyone eats breakfast before 10. It was nice that we could still get some coffee, but wish there were options for those that don't fit the 9 to 5 mold. Knowing this about ourselves, we opted for a room that touted a mini-bar and a special Keurig coffee maker featuring teas, coffees and hot chocolate--we got neither of those things, but were offered a $10 voucher (which gained us one bottled soda and two bottled waters), and it appears that, after our inquiry about the missing mini-bar and Keurig, we were charged the non-premium room fee instead of the premium, so that was appreciated.

Very good

Liked: airport shuttle was excellent, even picked us up after midnight on arrival.
Disliked: Facilities are clean but dated. curtains did not hang level and were difficult to operate
