Courtyard Bradenton Sarasota/Riverfront

DO NOT STAY HERE. They made us wait over two hours to check in, even with my Marriott status. Finally they started checking in others who had just arrived, ignoring myself and another man who had been waiting quite a while. No explanation for the delay was given. The hotel is generally gross. Hallways are dark, dirty and stained. The rooms were only a little better, there were stains on my bedding and the bathroom gets worse the more you look at it. I barely slept, there was loud yelling from outside late into the night and talkative crows all through the day. I have stayed in nicer trucker motels. This property is a waste of money and embarrassing for Marriott.

Great location !Right on the River Walk Walkable to Downtown.We came for New Years .Entertainment and Restaurants on Main Street. Hotel is going thru Renovations in the Lobby area will be great when done Check in - Went Smoothly thanks to Claire Complimentary Breakfast open 6:30 -10:00. Gym available and well equipped. Pool and Hot tub available- We did not use it was to cold for us! Room - We were on the 4th floor with River View King bed- very comfortable. Bedding Maid came in daily to make bed and freshen up room . Would definitely come back. Convenient beaches Day trips to Sarasota and St. Pete Loved to walk every Morning and Evening.

I’ve stayed here multiple times for work trips. I’ll always book this one, the rooms are pretty good and the staff are friendly and helpful. I like the riverwalk right behind the hotel

Here on a work trip and it's been pretty horrible. For the sound of 300 dollars a night I have gotten nearly 0 sleep because the building is being repaired and construction sounds were disturbing my sleep since 8am. I work as a traveling manager and checked in at nearly 2 am. Originally booked the room for two nights but likely checking out early due to the fact that the construction has been so disruptive to my sleep. Also; infestation. I bring packaged, closed food with me and I wake up in the morning with ALL OF it infested with ants including the fridge! I've stayed at motels and super 8's that have been more accommodating, less disruptive, and no bugs. If Springhill is available, go there. But don't consider this hotel. Get an AIRBNB instead. Only positive side to this stay was the gentleman at the front counter overnight. He was pleasant and friendly but this stay otherwise has been subpar. PS: charging for breakfast and any other little thing for a mediocre run down hotel room is bad business.

I called and the person I spoke with told me to go because they had rooms, when I got there 5 min later the person that was there told me they had no more rooms, then took 20 min to check me in and apparently got the worst possible room because the A/C was at 72 so I changed it to 69 hoping it would get colder but when I got up in the middle of the night it was at 78, so the next day I asked to be changed when we got back at night and the A/C difference was noticed immediately. The fitness area was great and the rugs on the hallways can use a little love. Aside from that the other front desk staff and the stay was great.
