Hampton Inn & Suites Venice Bayside/South Sarasota

The night manager was pleasant. The only problem that I ran into was that they do not accept cash. The other thing I noticed was apparently the property was going through some sort of renovations

Construction seems to be taking a long time! The gym was not operational, and an elevator was out of order.

Bed was comfortable. The new refrigerator was broken forcing us to move to another room where the refrigerator worked but the new dishwasher did not. Very rude front desk worker blames the new non working appliances on prior guests not informing them. Disappointing.

Family Trip to Venice Beach !! Wonderful hotel !! Very nice people in every department. Great breakfast. Very efficient staff.

Very clean and comfy room. I’m very picky especially when traveling with my kids as I know they will touch everything and be all over the ground. The staff were very friendly and accommodating if we needed anything. Very short drive to the beaches and many places close by to eat. I would absolutely recommend to someone and plan on staying there when we vacation in the area.

This hotel IS HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DOING A COMPLETE REMODELING from *******, the website, and guest while booking. Typical garbage corporate GREED. This is not a small job and it should be closed while they are doing a COMPLETE REMODELING. This is the place for you if you want to smell what I can best describe as the lumber and paint department in Home Depot. Soon as you set foot in the lobby you'll start to cough, sneeze, and have eyes watering. As you walk to the elevator you'll see what looks like Dexter's kill room with tarps hanging up sloppy not keeping a thing from contaminating the rest of lobby and you will have to pass this EVERYTIME you use elevator. The rooms were actually very nice and spacious. Our favorite part was the smell of cut drywall and wood as well as smelling paint fumes every day in the room. We would have to go outside from time to time to give our sinuses a break, and there you'll be greeted with a shady unsafe area, complemented with guests drinking out the back of pickup trucks, as well as freak shows sleeping in cars and mindless people walking around property. Don't let little Billy walk alone!! Breakfast?! Do NOT believe the reviews about this hotel having a great breakfast. It was horrible. But, good luck actually getting anything because you'll be having to deal with this hotel actually letting all the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS they hired for construction go use the lobby and eat breakfast. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
