If you consider the very clean and up to date facility and rooms, thhe location which is adjacent to the Sarasota / Bradenton Airport, it is hard to see how you can beat the value afforded by this hotel. Also, the grounds are very lush and well maintained, and there are hotels that are a good bit more expensive within... More

Check in took forever. Don't try to pay with cash. A credit card was required for "incidentals". What incidentials? Phone calls? Although the "GM" was friendly, she was overly friendly. Questions into my plans were almost invasive. I originally picked this property because it was "pet friendly". I didn't bring the pets after all. Being near the airport was not... More

Stayed here for a week while my husband was in town for work. The room was clean and service was very good. Front desk employees were very friendly (Linda was especially nice) and offered suggestions on where to go and what to see. Location is great - close to airport, downtown, and the Keys. The breakfast was fine. I have... More

We had a great time. The staff was very helpful with locations of attractions and restaurants. We bought our hotel stay at www.floridavacationauction.com at a great price. We did like making our own belium waffles in the morning. More

Question: When is a national chain mid-priced hotel a desirable accommodation destination? Answer: When you’re flying into the Sarasota-Bradenton Airport on the gulf coast of Florida. The SLEEP INN is located across from the entrance to the airport on a winding tree-lined cul-de-sac in the neighborhood of several other high-end hotels. Even the most generalized reading in the area of... More

I've stay at so many different hotel and this was my first at Sleep Inn, they should rename it "Stink Inn". The room had a foul ordor, the bed did not have a mattress sheet, it was covered with a regular bed sheet.

From reading other reviews, I was expecting the worst. Luckily, it was much better than I expected. It was a very small room though. Small bathroom too. No tub, just a shower, but it was a big, roomy shower. We had enough room to set some things around. We both enjoyed the breakfast. It was mostly typcial continental fare, but... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words.I am very glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. Our hotel has walk in showers( that are surprisingly roomy as you discovered) and our rooms with the king size bed are compact, but for those guests that would like a little extra room should look into booking our double double rooms....

Having read some bad reviews of numerous mid-priced motel/hotels in Sarasota, I was a little unsure of what we would find. We tend to stay in a variety of the Choice Hotels and are almost always pleased. Unfortunately, several in Sarasota were getting rather bad reviews. The Sleep Inn across from the airport entrance is the one we settled on... More

The photos are deceiving. The first room smelled like smoke, the hallways have not been kept up, badly broken door into the front desk office area. I would never stay at this hotel again. Obviously, management doesn't care. More
