I read the reviews before booking and was a little worried about some of the negative opinions on TA. We checked in June 2 before 3 pm and was given an upgrade from what I had originally reserved which was a king bed. The room was clean and had 2 queen beds, frig. desk & wifi. The breakfast was good... More

- The maids don't change the bed comforters only the white sheets. - The General Manager uses his hands to serve breakfast to guests. - Their breakfast tastes like dog crap. -It is not a safe location; (cops were in parking lot cause someone's car was broken into) - Over rate this place for what it's actually worth.

Stayed here for several nights while house hunting. The first room we were assigned had to be switched since the scanner on the door was broken. After several tries, they still couldn't program keys to make it work. The breakfast room was small, uncomfortable, and dirty. There was no one person assigned to replenish and clean the bar and tables.... More

Older establishment, but a nice place to stay. Centrally located to many attractions. The pool was excellent! Free breakfast was okay, our main complaint was seeing a male memer of the hotel staff restocking the donuts and bagels with his bare hands, no sanitary gloves. Because of that, we will not stay there again.

The Sleep Inn is right by the Sarasota/Bradenton airport, is almost secluded in its location, with palms and vegetation all around, and surprisingly quiet. Didn't hear planes at all. The room wasn't real large, but was pleasant and clean, with fairly simple decor. Good TV service and WiFi connection. The nicest feature was the spacious walk-in stall shower. Breakfast was... More

I had been to this hotel in past years and found it quite decent. This year was different. To begin with, the King Sized bed room was very small, with the bed taking up most of the room. There was only one chair, and it was obvious the room was intended for one rather than two people. My wife's jewelry... More
