Bradenton Hotels with Swimming Pools

Clean, bright hotel with excellent front desk service. Shout out to Nate, in particular, for being so friendly and helpful. The room was spacious with a good size bathroom, couch, desk and partial water view. Bed was comfortable. Would have liked a few more TV channels but streaming was an option. Restaurants close by. Breakfast was included with the expected cereal, bagels, waffle, etc. Overall, a good stay.

Exceeded expectations 👍🏻 Upon my arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the inn’s owner. I was very happy when I entered the room to find the floors weren’t carpeted, the room was clean, I was able to get restful sleep in a very comfortable bed. Thank you, Matt Erickson, for your kind attention to my reservation and requests during my stay. In addition to Matt and the owner’s excellence, I want to give kudos to the housekeeping staff. My stay was an excellent experience and a great value. Thank you! Peggy Akrigg

Super 8 was clean and comfortable but on entering the room it was set up to kill my girl. We came in late and there was no light available when turning on the door switch next to the door. My angel stepped into the room hands full and due to the lack of light immediately fell over a badly placed coffee table where she proceeded to fall with hands full over the table badly bruising her chin not once or twice but three times and was in extreme pain. Nice room but please consider the customers and their safety next time you place a coffee table inside a door and in the immediate walk way.

While this is an older hotel, (paint on paint) we found the location was great, on the water walk, great pool and hot tube. Staff could not be any more pleasant and accommodating. We used the suite with two adults and 3 children. Sofa bed not bad (its a sofa bed). two queen were comfortable. We loved it.

I liked the hotel decor, room was confortable and my kids really enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was plentiful and very busy on the holiday weekend but the the lady running the kitchen was really patience and handled the crowd very well. I asked for her name was Adina, she should be recognized!

I would’ve given this place 5 stars, but they were having issues with the water heater so the showers were lukewarm until the last day. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and well designed this hotel was. I’m a bit of a hotel snob, but I’m so glad I stayed here. The staff was very nice, our room was comfortable and parking was ample. I really enjoyed the free breakfasts (especially the cinnamon rolls!). The pool was nice and had towels for guests. Decent location as well.

It became obvious on check-in that the staff were pulling double or triple duty. Certainly as a result of staff shortages due to Covid, these folks were all pulling together to get things done. Not always available, there was always someone to find what you needed. The room was clean and the beds very, very comfortable. The breakfasts were good and well maintained. Julie, Holly and Jeff made my wife and I very welcomed.

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.

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.
