“No decent hotels adjacent to Siesta Key”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

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

“poor service/staff/response”

Reviewed May 13, 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

“Great location - good hotel”

Reviewed May 8, 2013

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. The hotels close to the beach were very expensive but this hotel was very reasonable and in a very good location for all attractions including Siesta Key, and not... More

“Great Location and Reasonable”

Reviewed May 5, 2013

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

The morning breakfast although the exact same every day was certainly adequate. The only negative was at night you could hear alot of traffic activity that usually died off after midnight. I would most definately stay here again as... More

“Best Western Gateway Siesta Key Florida JUST OK!”

Reviewed April 28, 2013

I stayed at the Best Western Plus Gateway Siesta Key from April 22, 2013 - April 27, 2013. Not to far of a DRIVE from Siesta Key Beach, but not normal walking distance. I have been traveling every year/every other year for about 15 years. Have stayed at this hotel when it was under the Holiday Inn Express ownership. Siesta... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I was surprised to read that you didn't take advantage of our free, on-demand shuttle service to anywhere on Siesta Key from the hotel which operates from 10AM to 2 AM everyday. This would have alleviated your parking issues at Siesta Beach. I was sorry to read that you lost... More

“MEDIOCRITY IS OK”

Reviewed April 27, 2013

I stayed at the BWP Siesta Key and the keyword is 'gateway.' It is nowhere near Siesta Key and you pretty much have to drive if you want to get there. The Siesta Key Beach is nice and the town is not exactly charming but worth a visit. (The food there is overpriced and rather mediocre, but there are plenty... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I was disappointed to read that you were not impressed with the area including Siesta Key Village, a quaint and charming hot spot on the island. Our hotel property is actually under 1 mile from the public beach accesses on Siesta Key, named the #1 beach in the US. We... More
