What guests think

At Magnuson Hotel Bradenton, reviews portray a budget property with very mixed experiences, emphasizing basic, dated rooms and an overall no-frills feel, while some guests highlight friendly staff and decent value for short stays.

Cleanliness feedback is frequently negative—stained linens, odors, and occasional bugs—though a minority reported clean, comfortable stays. Breakfast is extremely minimal (mostly cereal, toast, or packaged pastries) and coffee often criticized; several reviews also mention closed, dirty, or oddly located pool facilities. The location works for SRQ access and main roads but brings traffic noise and, for some, a sketchy feel. Expect a simple stopover with notable trade-offs and variable quality.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also liked having the refrigerator and microwave in the room. However, inside the room the bathroom faucets were very dirty and there were weird stains on the bathroom shower curtain. It got quite noisy at night time and you could see through where the door shut to lock (the crack). Also, the refrigerator sometimes stop cooling completely so that the small freezer part melted and got food wet. It happened enough, drinks rarely got very cold. Outside, the pool had stains on the bottom and several of the columns in front of parking spaces looked as though they were either collapsing or had been hit by cars. All in all not the worst given it’s price point. But it could be at least cleaner.

The room is in much worse condition than the photo shows. Also had to put $100 deposit down which I was informed I couldn't get a receipt because I was leaving early the next morning and no one would be there to give me one…. On a very busy road and a sketchy part of town. The pros….. Close to the airport, very hot water and you can’t hear the road noise also the pool area looked clean and nice. All in all would not stay here again.

The hotel was okay, nothing special. Needed a hotel near the SRQ airport as we had a very early flight. The toilet squealed loudly every time it was flushed. Could hear people talking outside a lot. Pool was in a weird place. Very pricey for what it was.

The hotel in general is dirty, the sheets have stains, the bathroom wall is broken from the spicy food, the aviation wall is broken. I asked for a non-smoking room and they gave me a smoking room. An unpleasant smell of cigarettes. I had to use a lot of air freshener and perfume. I asked for clean sheets. I do not recommend staying at this hotel.

We arrived after 1am. We were given the wrong key to the wrong room. We after received a new key to another room, to apparently a none-smoking room. It reeked of cigarettes and weed. We after move to another room that was right beside the front desk. Around 2 am we could hear the front desk agent on the phone having a very load and aggressive conversation, that kept us awake. I was just about to go complain but the phone call stopped.

We had the amazing bad timing to arrive when it became certain that the THIRD storm/hurricane was on its way. Not hotel's fault. So we spent much more time in an economy hotel than would have liked. An ok deal, clean—bad that there is no little freezer in fridge—tho is an ice machine below. Bathroom cramped. WiFi fine, lots of stations on TV. Bottom line: place would be just fine if you have normal beach vacation—and you are not there too much!

They have a kitchenette, they should have atleast even a few stuffs like pots or pans, utensils for cooking. Tourist can’t bring and buy everything they need for the kitchen because its a waste. Its either they’ll throw it after using those pots.

Beds and bedding were super comfortable. Even had a little coffee maker with a little packet of coffee. Always felt very safe. I've stayed there before and they always remember me.

Microwave looked like someone caught it on fire. Carpet had big burn hole. Bed sheets had burn holes all over the place. First day the maid didn’t make the beds nor take out trash only gave 2 new towels. Second night was the same way. Third night everything was made and changed out. Last night there nobody cleaned the room at all. Had no clean towels.

Nothing quite like the comfort of checking in with someone behind bullet proof glass. This is the type of shady motel that you see in movies. I booked 2 nights and stayed for less than 3 hours even knowing I wasn't going to get a dime back. I didn't feel safe the entire time I was there. I didn't even feel comfortable enough to connect to the Wifi out of fear of having my information stolen. I can't believe I gave them my credit card upon check in. I'll be spending the next few weeks checking said credit card for unapproved charges. I'd say it's the worst place I've ever stayed but I didn't really stay and instead spent the time finding somewhere else to go.
