Courtyard by Marriott Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront

I’m not one to complain but I didn’t have the best experience at this location. It smelled musty in the hallway and the carpets were horribly dirty. They had little commercial fans a couple nights of my stay right outside my hotel door.. I guess the ice machine leaked and they were drying the carpet? I paid extra for a river view room and it was awful the room spelled like bad body odor I had to go purchase a candle and car air fresheners to stick on the AC unit to try to make it smell better. It just felt all around dirty. The lobby was nice but beyond that it’s nothing like what they picture online. Also the first night I was there I got woken up by people SCREAMING at each other right outside my balcony because there’s a riverwalk right there, i tried to be nice and ask them to quiet down that I had to work in the morning and they proceeded to cuss at me and continue yelling so I called the front desk and asked if they had any security that I had people screaming and cussing outside my room and they asked me if the individuals were on the property? I told him I’m not sure if it’s the hotel property or considered the riverwalk but they are MAYBE 150ft away he says well if they are not in the hotel property, then there’s nothing we can do about it. You have to call the cops. Let’s just say it wasn’t the best experience I’ve ever had.

Great

This is an excellent place to stay when balancing location and cost.

This hotel is a great option if looking to be in this area at a good nightly rate.

It was just a great experience to stay in this hotel..It is near all the good things you are looking for. Excellent location great service
