Great value for the location, quality of rooms, friendly staff, and food & beverage options! The hotel is about a half-mile from Old Main Street in Bradenton, and it's a beautiful stroll along the Riverwalk. We walked along this route every day. The lobby and rooms are nicer and more updated than the pictures show. We had a spacious room with a king bed, desk, couch, tv with 100 channels, refrigerator, and large bathroom with a huge amount of countertop space. We enjoyed using the outdoor pool and hot-tub every day. Very nice stay, and we would definitely return for the location, amenities, reasonable rates, and friendliness of the staff!

Great location, room was great. View from balcony had many piles of debris from construction. They are doing interior construction so it was very loud. Due to construction restaurant/bar was closed. A continental breakfast on 3rd floor. Very minimal with coffee, cereals, bagels, some fruit and packaged danishes.

Clean, comfortable room with a so-so view. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the room, easy parking, and quiet building. Our only frustration was that the hot tub was only open dawn to dusk, so because of our daytime plans we were not able to enjoy it as we had hoped.

We were happy to be close to our family's and Riverwalk. Staff was friendly. The property is older and we realize they were in the middle of renovations. When I booked the reservations I was not informed that the restaurant on site was closed.There was still debris from the hurricanes outside our room what looked to be shingles and water logged drywall.

We really enjoyed the hotel but it was pricey. We liked that it was close to some really good restaurants. The only thing we were disappointed in was the pool was closed so early we didn't get to enjoy it after dinner. We only stayed one night so forthe price would of like to have enjoyed the pool that evening since we had to check out early the next morning.

I gave this hotel a low rating because it was not clean. The hallway that led to our room had a bad odor (not food). Hallway also looked like it was not vacuumed in over a week. Our kids found a beer can on the balcony. Hair found throughout bathroom.

When we checked in our room was on the first floor. As we entered the hallway to go down to our room you notice the carpet is black from filth. The smell of dirt and musty mold is over powering. There are 2 doors open to the housekeeping rooms (like inventory) As we peaked in it was disgusting. We went back to the check in and requested another room. I told them my complaint and they gave us the 4th floor this time. Better hallway carpet but the couch in the room looks like it’s from the 70’s. Doesn’t look clean at all. We paid $287 for this room. I can’t believe this is Marriott. Never again. A motel would be better.

Our room were staying in smelled and felt very muggy. We did have alive cockroach in one of our bath towels. The worst part was the loud noise that sounded like an outdoor air conditioner unit that would turn on and off throughout the night which would wake up everyone in the room with a loud noise. With that being said it was a very uncomfortable experience for our family with little sleep.

A very bad experience. The toilet was damaged. We had to call a technician twice, and it took three hours for him to arrive. He fixed it just before we left. We spent the night with the toilet full of our feces. The tub was yellow, and so were the curtains inside. It was very shabby for the price.

Balcony views overlook a garden area, very pretty. Staff attended to everything we needed with friendliness, and we had a LOT of extra requests over the week. Beautiful cafe with coffee, breakfast sandwiches and wraps, etc. and the grounds were just so beautiful with an outdoor pool in a garden and a Riverwalk easy walking distance just across the street. Very close to the University Town Center mall, shops and restaurants. Definitely a great pick.

I am grateful for Claire Jaeger and Rayana Waters for their patience, empathy and being so accommodating. You ladies have no idea what your kindness meant to me and my mother. Thank you!

The check in staff needs to be more detailed in the check in. After i paid for incidentals, she just said "okay, you're checked in" but never gave me my room jey or room number. I had to ask for it and which direction was the elevator? Going to a new hotel and not knowing the area is a great opportunity to ahow good cuatomer service. Offer insight into any needs the guest has and ensure the guest knows where to go. At the very least tell them the room number and give them their room keys and then say "You're all checked in. You'll find the elevator to your room to your left." Hope that helps.

The condition of the hotel is a little worn and needs some updating in a few areas. Our shower didn’t drain and we ran out of soap after the first evening. But they gave us bodywash when we requested it. But otherwise, it is a nice hotel for its price.

They will tell you the time they would tell you that it was a continental and they made you think that it was free when it was not that part I did not like because I felt like I should’ve been told ahead of time so I can allocate for it.
