Homewood Suites by Hilton Sarasota

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 Everything was old, outdated and over used looking.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.

Needs serious renovation. Tile grout nasty. Bed noisy and uncomfortable.

Had never been disappointed with a Homewood Suites stay before this trip. So many defects that make the hotel look old and unsafe. The worst was the non-working lock on the sliding door to the balcony. The breakfast was awful... soggy tater tots, watery eggs, old and barely warm coffee, etc. Also an employee dropped a bunch of food on the road between the lobby and the row of rooms on the left which happened to be the only way to exit as the road is one way around the hotel. He very slowly continued to hose, then sweep the mess away without stepping out of the way for anyone to exit. Would not recommend and will not stay again.

Having never stayed in Sarasota before, I chose this site for it’s close to the golf course, however, people running through the halls all night, until 3 of 4 am. Next time I’ll stay at the one off University. It was a nice suite other than that, breakfast was just ok,
