Courtyard Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront

I travel with my work, so my reviews are ways that I can look back and re-book places that I have stayed previously. I would likely choose a different hotel next time. The air conditioners are loud. It kept me up the entire night. I called front desk and asked for maintenance but nobody ever came. In the morning, I reached out and asked to go to a different room or different hotel. The staff in the mornings are amazing. I would highly recommend them as they really try to keep the guests happy. I ended up moving to another hotel for the remainder of my work week.

We got this hotel room for my son and dil, me and hubby (4 adults) to be near our dil specialist Dr appointment as she is having a complicated pregnancy with twins. The next morning the front desk said we could only have 2 breakfasts. Never stayed somewhere that only allowed 2 of the guests to eat breakfast.

Pictures way better than the actual hotel. The pool area leaves alot to be desired. The hallways are dark. Needs more lighting. The grounds are unkept. Anyone walking the Riverfront can walk right in. Big safety concern if you have kids!! We had a rat or squirrel scratching the inside vents at night Plenty of better places nearby to stay.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very much in need of update and repairs. Towels laid flat along hallways to soak up some sort of leaks. Awnings gone but frames still in place. I will definitely stay somewhere else. Shame on the owners of this hotel for renting it in this condition.

We stayed at this hotel in May 2024 with multiple rooms booked for a nearby skating competition, and unfortunately, our experience was quite disappointing. The management appeared uncaring about our concerns. We were given different rates for the same type of room, and we were not informed that our package rate included breakfast. When we later inquired aboutour package, they said there was no recourse, even though it was clearly part of our package. Additionally, despite being promised points as compensation for the oversight, we never received them. I later spoke to the hotel manager, but there was no remedy offered to address our issues. Overall, the lack of communication and the unhelpful attitude of the staff left a lot to be desired. I would not recommend this hotel based on our experience.

Great location if you want to combine visits to Sarasota, Tampa and the beaches on Santa Maria. We even got a visit in to the busy honkey-tonk area of Madeira in St. Pete. Half hour to the beaches on Santa Maria - go before 9 am. Nice, intelligent staff. Great pool. Clean and well-maintained.

The location is great and the staff is very nice. We stayed on the first floor, where you have to pass by the rundown staff break room and the laundry. The dark and dank smelly hallway takes you to a room that needs a major overhaul. The air seemed to work loudly when it wanted to. Around the back of the hotel is what looks to be an abandoned restaurant, so you don’t exactly feel comfortable walking past it in the dark going to the restaurant across the street. This is purely a hotel for convenience. Definitely not a place to stay a few nights for fun.

Overall the hotel is okay. The lobby is nice but the rest of the hotel needs upgrades and new carpeting. We stayed one night on the 2nd floor but the carpet smelled terrible and the view obstructed to see the Mantee River. The pillows were a bit too fluffy! They moved us to the 5th floor with good views the rest of our stay. Thank you! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My husband loved that he could get his favorite coffee Americano each morning. The breakfast flatbread was amazing & big and after 5pm food offered was also very good like wings, flatbread pizza and burgers. I loved walking in the morning along the Riverwalk front. I would stay again.

We stayed Friday night. When I made the reservation I was told they only had a king room with a balcony and the price was close to $400 a night. Not that I wanted to spend that much money, but I said we would take it. Well the balcony was a 12inch cement slab on the 1st floor overlooking the parking lot with a door that did not even open. The room was ok, definitely not worth what I paid. The shower liner was black on the bottom and the cabinet in the bathroom was dusty. Then they do not even provide complementary coffee in the morning, it cost me another $9 for 2 cups of starbucks.
