Hampton Inn By Hilton & Suites Venice Bayside South Sarasota

Very disappointing stay was expecting...

Disliked: I was texted during the first night to see if I needed anything and I asked for a pillow and got no reply walked down to get one after waiting 30 minutes. All the ice machines are broken except for kitchen. Left my gummy’s on the nightstand overnight and woke up to them covered in ants. Ran out of body wash in the shower because it wasn’t refilled. Wasn’t notified that it was under construction and smelled like dust and made access terrible because only one door and elevator were open for the whole building. Bought a daiquiri slushee Friday and still wouldnt freeze be Saturday. Asked the housekeeper cleaning the rooms on my floor for a garbage bag or empty laundry bag and she told me I had to go ask the front desk when she had a cart full of everything.

Bad

Disliked: Very disappointing experience. I specifically chose this hotel because their website said it had a gym, but when I arrived, I was told it was under repair — and there was no prior notice about this. For travelers who value keeping up with their fitness routine, this is a major letdown.On top of that, there was no electric vehicle charger available, which is unacceptable in the era of electric cars. The hotel should be much more transparent with the amenities they advertise and keep up with the basic expectations of modern travelers. I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it.

It was good

Disliked: Water pressure in shower
