“Great Hotel”

Reviewed 19 June 2013 NEW

Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Free popcorn and coffee selection. Room was very clean and beautiful. Very easy to get across to Siesta Key. Publix and shopping center right across the street. Restaurant within walking distance. Awesome breakfast selection, restocked often with plenty of options.

“Bed bugs.”

Reviewed 27 May 2013

The service was great. Staff was accommodating and appropriate when I came to check out after finding a bed bug and the feces spot on the mattress. After we found it, as well as hair in the sheets that were not changed, my husband and I searched the web on our phones to make sure it was a bed bug... More

Thank you for your review. Your room was well inspected upon your departure and was completely clear of any insects. We are exterior corridor. Guests and personnel entering and exiting rooms leave the ability for insects to possibly be present from time to time. The room has been rented several times since your departure without incident.

“Great hotel near Siesta Key.”

Reviewed 23 May 2013 via mobile

This turned out to be a great choice for me and my 2 children, rooms are a little on the small side but it was o.k. They have a great breakfast and pool area. Staff is very nice. Check in and out went smooth. We would stay here again for sure when coming to Siesta Key.

Thank you for your review and we appreciate your compliment about our breakfast. We do pride ourselves on having the best complimentary breakfast around, including fresh fruit, cheese, Danish and 3 hot items every day. We hope to be able to host you for another stay in the future. More

“close to Siesta Key, but better value”

Reviewed 22 May 2013

I was surprised to see this hotel changed flags, but the stay was just as good as the last time. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is fantastic - lots of good options. It is close to the beach which makes it even more attractive. The staff were very friendly at check in and check out. I'll be back... More

“No decent hotels adjacent to Siesta Key”

Unless you want to pay a fortune and stay directly on Siesta Key, there are no decent hotels within two or three miles inland from the island. I think that Best Western Plus is as good as it gets - which, that being said, isn't very good. The lobby of the hotel has been renovated and is nice and modern.... More

Thank you for your review. I must, however, point out a couple of your assumptions as being incorrect. This property underwent a $1.5 mm renovation, completed in July, 2012. Among the many things that were upgraded were the corridor coverings, which is all brand new exterior carpeting. Being exterior corridor, as you can understand, we are subject to the elements....

“poor service/staff/response”

Reviewed 13 May 2013

The hotel itself is fine for what it is. The breakfast was good. However the staff and General Manager are lacking in professionalism. We had in an incident where the housekeeping staff (presumably) used our bathroom and when we notifed the front desk/mgmt spoke with the General Manager who had absolutely no compassion for the situation. Was told there would... More

Thank you for your review. Your review states that a housekeeper presumably used your bathroom but your room had not been serviced. This unfortunately, does not sound as if it was our staff that had been in your room. If we did not leave towels for you during your stay, that is not part of our normal service unless you... More

We have just returned from a 7 night stay. We went to Sarasota for a family wedding and did a lot of research of hotels in the area prior to booking.

“Great Location and Reasonable”

We stayed for 5 nights. Wanted to be near Siesta Key beaches but not pay too high a rate. This hotel was clean, staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Kudos to the breakfast lady who worked so hard each day keeping everything replenished, fresh, and always with a smile. Access to restaurants, beach, and shopping was quite... More
