Hampton Inn & Suites Venice Bayside South Sarasota

Fresh colors and decor, bright, open

Wasn’t anything I didn’t like

This was the best stay we've had at any hotel. Staff was friendly the place was super clean and comfortable and close to all the beaches.

I booked this trip last minute for an overnight staycation with my partner and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this hotel. We were quickly greeted and checked in and the lobby was very nicely decorated and clean. The elevator ride to the third floor was also quite nice but most importantly the elevator was clean. The room itself was spacious and had a nice view, but again, most importantly, it was very clean. Everything from the bathroom appliances to the fridge were clean and new like. The free breakfast was good overall, for example, the waffle maker was on point, but there are some tweaks that need to happen.

Unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable. The mattress was so firm that I needed to take Tylenol the next day, because my back was hurting. The free breakfast was good overall, except the hardboiled eggs seemed as if they had been boiled a week ago and were not fresh or tasty.

The location was great and staff was amazing!

The bed pillows are terrible and the door into the room wouldn’t close unless I slammed it. The property was smoke free however, the hallway to where my room was located smelled like stale cigarette smoke.
