Homewood Suites by Hilton Sarasota

Very nice property, stayed only for one night. Accommodations were fine, the room was on the large size, with a kitchenette. I understand the need to limit pool hours, but we would have liked to have been able to at least, sit in the pool patio area in the evening, after hours, but it was locked down.

When I showed up to check in. My room was upgraded. Very clean place to stay

Great customer service and shuttle to downtown. Breakfast was quite good. Overall, very nice stay!

Building lighting was bad. Checked in at night. Men walking thru lot while trying to park. Figured out getting cooler and sitting outside door drinking beer as I was trying to enter my building area. Loud all evening sitting on stairs in hall beside my room and slamming doors endless.

The staff were friendly and did their best with what they had. The breakfast was fair but always running out of food no matter how early you went. The hotel needs major renovations. Everything was old, outdated and over used looking. Our room was very bleak and the bathroom had a permanent urine smell that would permeate throughout the room no matter how hard I tried to locate where it was coming from. I had previously booked an extra week the first week of August but canceled due to poor conditions we experienced the 2 days we stayed upon our arrival. Cannot recommend unless things, especially the hotel gets major improvements/renovations done.
