After two days on the road and one miserable night in another motel, we found the Econo Lodge in Bradenton and were very grateful!!! The room was cool and roomy. (The motel we stayed in the night before was smaller than my bedroom at home and the a/c just could not keep up.) The bathroom was very clean and just... more

This place was the worst place I have ever stayed. I was with my husband who was in Florida working and my children and I had went alone with him. The room had a funky smell and you could feel moisture in the air. The cable tv only has like 20 channels and the most of them are like cnn... more

We chose this motel for its proximity to our friends. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the room. There was ample parking for our big pickup. We would definitely stay there again when we are in the area. more

Pros: - Got a good rate of about $50/night - Close to lots of good stuff (Wal-Mart; Interstate exit; Cracker Barrel; Waffle House; Rita's Ice Cream; Publix; Outlet shopping, etc.) - Close to interstate, but you don't notice the noise of it - Decent pool - Comfy bed - Nice, helpful staff Cons: - Older facility that is showing some... more

I spent three nights here in early March, 2008. it wasn't my first choice, but for $80, the price was right. I had read the previous reviews and decided to try it out. The location is right off rt 75 and is convenient getting to Sarasota, St Pete or Tampa areas. There are fast-food restaurants nearby, if that's what you... more

Older motel located close to food. Room was worn but fairly clean. Bed did not have a fitted bottom sheet so was not very comfortable. There are other motels in the area so will plan to try another spot next time. Had to change the booking date at the last minute (arriving sooner rather than later) and they would not... more

This motel was very convenient to everything (next to Wal-Mart, walking distance to McDonalds, 2 gas stations, and even Cracker Barrell). It's 15 miles to Anna Maria Island. It's 20 miles to Skyway Pier. We paid less than $70.00 a night for 4 people in a room. If we stayed on the beach, it would have been over $200.00 a... more

Our family of four spent four nights in this hotel during the middle of March. I used Choice Priledges points for my stay, however, I know that the rate for a stay was less than 1/2 of what most other chain interstate hotels were charging in the area. Don't get me wrong with my title. This hotel is an older,... more
