Hotels Near taiyou tours in Manatee County

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.

Facilities: General Sanitation: General Environment: Good, close to the sea, great scenery Service: Very good

Every time my boyfriend and I stay as this hotel we are always so pleased with the customer service and friendliness of the staff. The girls always make sure we are taken care of. We are locals and stay here so we can have some time together. I couldn’t be more happy with this hotel! I highly recommend staying here. The rooms are very clean which is a plus!

Very clean hotel, was very pleased with front desk lady Margaret, she was very friendly The lady at the breakfast bar during our stay there was very friendly every morning and always greeted us with a smile every morning, We noticed one morning at breakfast that she was laughing and teasing over a special juice blend she makes- it was nice to be around such friendly atmosphere The food was always fresh and hot Room was clean Enjoyed our stay allot Would recommend to anyone

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.

This Home 2 Suites is located at the far end of a shopping plaza and has a large lake and park about a tenth of a mile from the entrance. The hotel offers free bike rentals for you to enjoy the park which is nice. First impressions send out higher end boutique beach hotel. For the price this place is amazing! Many guest were checking-in for a month or longer stay. The lobby is open and well decorated with a separate and equally open space for free breakfast and daily snack hour. The hotel gives you a pamphlet when you arrive to tell you of their wonderful amenities and times of availability as well as all the things offered nearby. Free yoga anyone? The suite was open with a nice kitchen including two burner stove, full size fridge, dishwasher and microwave. Seating area had a nice chair and comfy sofa. The bedroom was separated by an actual door and offered a desk and very comfortable beds with multiple plush pillows. The sink and counter area of the bathroom is separate from the shower and toilet, great for two or more people getting ready together. Nice closet with many wooden hangers and a safe. Overall great first impressions of cleanliness and the room smelled fresh. This is where the almost perfect comes into play. Later in our stay we noticed two things. One, the carpet wasn’t as clean as it appeared; leaving our feet black if we did not wear slippers. Two, you must get up with the sunrise. Even though the window treatments gave a clean beach vibe and the windows were privacy tented, they were far from light blocking. Not good for someone who likes to sleep in late. The laundry, gym and pool area were all exceptionally furnished! The laundry had nice high end appliances for 2 dollars a load. The gym offered Peloton products as well as other equipment. There is even a small basketball court. The pool however is the crowning glory. Located outdoors it was nicely sized and offered covered cabanas and group seating with very nice grills. Plan on staying here again for my next visit to the area. Great overall experience, just need to bring a sleep mask.

This hotel was clean, quiet and the managers were great. Best cleaning staff among other hotels. The location is wonderful as it was good for walking and near everything. The managers make sure that you are taken care of and treated very well as a customer.

Kathleen was very nice, attentive and very helpful. I looked forward to seeing her every morning at breakfast. She wasn't afraid to talk to people and help people at breakfast. Everyone just stood around, didn't help or even talk to you. You could tell that Kathleen loved her job and what she does. The front desk staff was amazing (Maria). Thank you to all the staff who made our 7 day vacation amazing!! My husband and I will definitely return. I forgot to mention the availability to ride the bikes was a pleasant experience and all the shops, mall and stores was in walking distance.

I booked the hotel for one night, no breakfast included because I wanted to have breakfast with some friends at a restaurant nearby the next morning. The difference between breakfast included or not was 20 dollars. On my way there I realized they had added what I thought was the breakfast fee on my debit card to the total pending transaction. During check in they told me that Breakfast was Included and showed me the menu and times, so I didn't have any reason to doubt that the extra 20 dollars they had charged me was the breakfast fee. I didn't wanna make a big deal about it so I didn't say anything and just called my friends and we arranged to meet at dinner instead. Next morning when I was ready to have breakfast they told me that they made a mistake and breakfast was not included and when I told them about the extra charge on my debit card they explained to me that the extra 20 dollars was for incidental charges in case if I decided to use other amenities or services and not for breakfast. What a coincidence that the breakfast fee was the same amount as the incidental charges. They did remove the extra 20 dollars during check out but I ended up having a very mediocre super expensive breakfast there because it was already too late to call my friends and change plans again. Instead of 20 dollars I had to pay almost 50 for breakfast at a place that I didn't plan to have breakfast in the first place and they tricked me to do so.

We came in as a late check in and the night person Eric was amazing! Make sure to give him a pat on the back or an Amazon gift card lol he was awesome he definitely helped my family out with a smooth check in. Thank you Eric! Oh also everyone at this location was very nice. It was clean bed was comfy and breakfast was tasty and the pool was warm at night.
