The room smelled like mildew....ugh

Room was ok. Place needs work They did switch us rooms because the shower was not working. Service needs work. Place needs work.

The room was clean and comfortable. We did not use the air conditioner since the weather was nice. There was plenty of Hot Water in the shower. There was a ref and microwave. Nice to have those extras. The internet was a little weak even though we were only 3 doors down from the lobby. Sometimes it dropped out. Most concern that there was no one at […] the property at night. Went to check out in the morning at 6:45 and doors to lobby were locked. We just left because we had paid already by Hotels.com.

Though Super 8 was not the "best" hotel (e.g. decor of room out dated, well everything was out dated for that matter), the owners and housekeeping staff were very friendly and helpful.

Dirty

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our room's shower did not work so the first day we were not able to shower, the AC was not cooling well but it was acceptable. Then they moved us to another room and everything was great except that we were not able to regulate the shower's water temperature and had to take hotter than usual showers.

Great place to stay if you are just stopping over or going to an event. The owners were friendly and very responsive. Good simple continental breakfast hit the spot.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I might be going a little over board but the only reasons I stayed there was because it was pretty much the only hotel I can find that was still available for the Tough Mudder event in Sarasota. Nothing was working in my room, there was no hot water but I guess that was part of my Tough Mudder training, lol. Definitely not a place that I would recommend […] you stay ESPECIALLY if you have your family, which I did not. Now if you are by yourself and your there for just a night or 2 than reach down deep in your pocket, find your straw and SUCK IT UP! First time I do this online rating thing, can you tell, lol.

Great staff, Very polite and helpful.The only 2 minor problems we had were: 1. Did not like the policy on not being able to take the free breakfast by to the room. Yes i understand about dealing with slobs & cheats. But, just don't feel like getting up & mixing in the morning. Some times there are TV programs that we like to watch at the same time as […] we eat breakfast. 2. We would like to have been closer to the office where the breakfast is. Overall, everything was very good. Read more

This hotel was disgusting! Period! The room looked like it hadn't been really cleaned in weeks. The bathroom was horrible. The toilet was gross to say the least. There was urine stains all over it and needed desperate attention. The bathtub had hair all over it and was dirty! I felt like I needed shower shoes just to use my hotel tub. I stayed for two […] nights and the trash wasn’t taken out after the first night. I would never, ever use this hotel chain again. The Super 8 is obviously not suited for those who care about their living standards. Read more

Staff friendly. Nonsmoking room smelled like smoke and had cigarette burn in carpet. Motel AC units turned off between guests and all were residential type units that took forever to cool room, and with room smelling like smoke, that made it works.

I will never go back to this Hotel. I recommend that you stay away from it. The service is terrible. The concierge was rude and lacked motivation. I felt like I was bothering him just being there. Really bad...

This was our second weekend in a row staying here. The staff and the accommodations are much worth the price. Best nights sleep I have had in a long time.

When you go cheap that is often what your get. Much to my family's surprise that is not what we found when we checked into the Super 8 in Bradenton. We were late checking in and had already spoken to the front desk by phone. What a lovely experience our check in was. She remembered us from the conversation and had our room ready (curtains pulled and […] air on) and our keys ready. She was even apologetic the room was on the 2nd floor. Entering the room I was amazed. It was large, clean and fresh smelling. The temperature was just right, the bed was comfortable and I got one of the best nights sleep I have ever had in a hotel. In the morning the continental breakfast was nice (cereal, danishes, toast, and juices). The breakfast area was also very clean. I would highly recommend this to families traveling or someone who wants a nice inexpensive room for the night. We liked it so much we made reservations for this Saturday as well. Read more

The only Pro they have is that the lady at the front is very nice. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Fortunately for me & my boyfriend it was only for the night! We got in pretty late & when I opened the door, I was hit with a horrible smell. The air was so musty. The paint in the bathroom was peeling, same in the bathtub. […] Paid for a fridge in our room but they didn't include it. The carpet floors felt sticky & wet & the air conditioner blew smelly air into the room. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. It's disgusting!! Read more

The room and service was fine. The mini-fridge was working but, needed leg repair.

Hotel room service is fine; batroom is old-needed to remodel/renew.Receptionist isn't nice; breakfast is poor. Air Conditioner is too noisy at night. No iron in the room

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We went during the middle of the week for only 2 days. Low occupancy. Swimming pool in nice condition and heated. Breakfast bar extremely minimal. Juice was watered down. Told desk clerk who said an outside vendor takes care of it and he would call them. He said they come to fix problems asap, but we were getting ready to leave. Staff were pleasant. […] Would go back. Ringling Bros Museum and beach great. Read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Older motel. Some things did not work. Room was clean, and it was very close to where we had to be the next day. In this day and age you get what you pay for. We wanted a place to rest for a few hours before our appointment the next day, and we got it here for a very economical price.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was inexpensive, and while located in a less nice part of Sarasota, it was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. The handle on the bath stuck a bit, but worked after wiggling. The television had many cable channels. The room was clean and we were quite comfortable. The service from the staff was excellent. The continental breakfast […] was a continental breakfast, and was perfectly adequate. Read more

OK for the money. Smoke alarm started beeping at 3:00 AM, so I really didn't sleep much.

Although i had pre-booked and paid for the room, the hotel tried to scam me into paying more to them for a room with a micro fridge which i had already paid for and had the reservation sheet to confirm. They said Hotels.com had made a mistake - htey don't have Queen bed with microfridge for the price i had paid. In the end i had to take a double with […] micro fridge because they refused to give me my queen bed with micro fridge Read more

Hotel was close to main attractions and not far away from the beach. The hotel staff was nice and friendly. Simple continental breakfast was provided. The pool was nice and clean. The pool furniture could have been cleaner. All in all a reasonably priced hotel with no frills and just what we were looking for. Didn't spend much time at the hotel so we […] were satisfied and would stay there again. Read more

Hotel Staff was very pleasant and helpful. I was there on a business trip and was not looking to spend a fortune on a room. I am happy to report that my room was clean, nice and I was really surprised to find a refrigerator and microwave in my room. You can't beat the value. I would definitely stay here again!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

From the very friendly girl at the reception to a surprisingly clean room, it was actually better than expected for a super 8, but...it IS a super 8. Is fine as long as you don't expect The Ritz. Can't beat the price for a few hours sleep, also it was very centric, not bad.

It is no exaturation to say that I have never stayed in such deplorable conditions in my life. Our reservation was non smoking...only had smoking. They gave us several keys so we could pick out which room...their words..smelled the least. The entire complex..in a nice neighborhood..was liked a demiliterized zone. Tub plug had to be closed at nite to […] keep cockroaches from racing in tub...both beds had dents in center over 12 inches deep. Slept in our car third nite rather than room. Calling it a flophouse would be a compliment. Read more

I had a comfortable stay here with my wife and toddler. The large room had two decent beds, a tv, fridge and coffee maker. Wifi was included, but it didn't work very well in the room. I used it in the dining area instead over breakfast, which was included in the price. We needed to do some washing, so were very pleased to see that the motel had washing […] machines and dryers. Overall it met our needs for a short stay and I would stay here again if in the area. Read more

Floor was filthy---shower handle did not work properly, and couldn't shut the water off fully. Sheets looked like they had been used while someone was changing oil. A/C did not generate cold air. Had to set the temp below 70, and it still couldn't bring the room down below about 78. Loud explosion in the parking lot at 2-3 in the morning. Who knows […] what that was. All in all, a bad motel experience, and would not recomment it to anyone planning on staying there while in Sarasota. Read more

Softball tournament led us down to Sarasota and we ended up staying at Super 8...very pleased...such friendly staff and ver y accomodating. If in the area again...I would stay here! Very pleased for the money!

We wanted to visit the Ringling Museum and this hotel was the perfect spot as it was within walking distance. Staff were helpful and could recommend places to eat at night. Breakfast was the only down side... not very much on offer compared to other Super 8's. Could not get wifi in our room, but could get it in reception.

The hotel and room were clean and comfortable. The A/C unit was the best I have ever encountered in a hotel for being efficient and quiet.

DO NOT Stay at THIS TRAILOR TRADH MOTEL, they need to tear it DWN n Keep it DWN, Do NOT STAY HERE

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is run to the very lowest standards, with horribly dirty carpets, musty room and rude desk staff during the day(who I suspect was the owner). Hotel was cheap and you get what you pay for. I normally stay in nicer hotels for business so I am a little spoiled, but at a minimum expect the carpet not to blacken my feet.
