Very clean quiet hotel, rooms were very nice. Breakfast variety is amazing. Heated pool was nice during a cold front when we stayed. Chilli's and Another broken egg is located next door, Publix is also down the road too. The University Town Mall is 5 minutes away which is next to the Florida Turnpike. Will stay again next year during Dimitri Cup.

This was our second visit to this area to visit family and this hotel has a lot going for it -- central location near restaurants, the interstate, shops, friendly staff and atmosphere, exceptionally clean and modern guest rooms and public areas. Once again, we felt welcomed by the reception desk and rest of the staff each day as we had during our first visit last year. However, some suggested areas of improvement: 1. If snacks are from 5 - 7 p.m., have them out on time. Only happened once in a week. 2. Remind us at check-in we could have received more bottled water as Hilton Honors members, and 3.Last, but not least! Eliminate the little slips of paper that were strewn all over the hallway each day (a week for us) from the new General Manager. We felt they were a waste. If they are left on doors, they don't stay there and litter the hallway. (What if you are handicapped and cannot bend to pick it up?) Not a good image/perception, at least for us. This did not happen last time we stayed and we felt just as welcome without the litter in the hallway when you opened your door each morning. Only good as scrap paper since pens and notepads are no longer provided in rooms (perhaps because of the pandemic?). Consider alternatives, e.g., a Welcome placard/tent card on the desk in each room with the same message from the GM with her contact info should suffice, and/or have a board (electronic or otherwise) by the elevators or by the breakfast room where you can post the daily forecast and who is serving breakfast, and a daily message from the GM. We've seen this done at other hotels, conference centers, and cruise ships. You are modern in every way ... come into the 21st Century with that gesture too.

The staff is great. Jasa and Chris were so helpful. When I checked in, the toilet wouldn't flush. Jasa offered me an opportunity to switch rooms. She also had maintenance come straight up to fix the toilet in my original room - so I stayed there. The rooms are ok, from a design/decor point of view. Air conditioning works well. Shower has good pressure. Parking is easy and convenient. The carpet, though, is, quite honestly, filthy, and not just in the guest rooms. I wear white socks. Walking across the carpet in the room left them really, really dirty. I dampened a washcloth and rubbed it over a very small section of the rug, just to test, and it was alarming. Management should, at the very least, have the carpets throughout the hotel cleaned. I know that this has been an ongoing problem, based on other online reviews. I can't recommend people stay there until that gets resolved. Also, the red chair in the room I stayed in was very dirty. I wouldn't sit in it. Once these issues are resolved, I would change my rating to 4 stars.

My room was spacious and well updated. The value was well worth the price. Conveniently located within 5 minutes of Sarasota airport and in a great area for fast food and casual dining locations. I will definitely book here again.

This Hampton Inn has excellent walkable access to the downtown Bradenton area including the restaurants and bars. The Riverwalk is just 2 blocks away. It is a very unique property holding onto vestiges of a 1920's hotel, yet holding all modern conveniences with elevators, the bathrooms etc. The parking lot is on the backside of the hotel. There are a few parking spots by the front door, but your vehicle will be alongside the road for the night if you leave it there. Breakfast is typical Hampton Inn. Nicely done and solid. Staff are friendly and respectful. The only area that is a bit hurting is staffing of the front desk. I came in on a Sunday evening. There were 3 people waiting in line, the phone was ringing constantly and only one person working the desk. The management needs to be in place in situations like this and assisting the front desk staff. Morning check out was much smoother.

The location is within img academy, so it is very suitable for boarding student care, the swimming pool is convenient to use, and the facilities and interior of the rooms are excellent.
