Hampton Inn

My home in Sarasota. I travel all Florida for business and here In Sarasota, this is my home away from home. Its clean, well maintain and always I receive a smile at the front desk

This place is gut tickling awesome. Everything is new. My room literally (yes not figuratively) made me say damn when I saw it. I will DEFINITELY stay here next time.

Super Hampton!
Super location within walking distance of shops and restaurants.
Staff is very friendly and thoughtful. Rooms are cLean.
There is a slew of TV channels, Including BBC America and National geographic. This is a great treat, as I have not found these stations at other hotels.
I love the coffee station with hot water that is always available in the lobby.
The pool and hot tub is one of the best I’ve seen at a Hampton. The design is modern, and they even have comfy cabanas!

We were really impressed with this Hampton Inn, from the great customer service to the super clean room, our one night stay was really wonderful!
Awesomeness: Everything smelled fresh and clean; big pool with a little waterfall and jacuzzi; free breakfast with something for everyone, including diy waffle bar, eggs and bacon, pastries and an oatmeal bar; very peaceful and quiet, and the hotel is close to everything!

This is for the HI called Lakewood Ranch near the Sarasota crew racecourse on I-​75. There is at least one other HI&S nearby. Make sure your phone/​GPS doesn’t get confused.
I was here for jr national crew races last month and was fully prepared for a forgettable stay in a mediocre limited service property. Long redeye, early arrival, no sleep, i was cranky to say the least, a potential complaint-​nado. However, these guys hit it out of the park w every interaction. The room was very large and clean. Every single staff member was beyond friendly, happy to serve. Management was very visible all weekend. The breakfasts were varied and tasty (for what they were, mind you) hot egg or omlette option plus protein with whole & sliced fruit, oatmeal, boiled eggs, pastries, etc. All items were good, fully available on the buffet, with at least two sets of eyes ready to replenish. I have never seen a hotel of this type so on top of this. OK the coffee was weak (it is FL) but the staff were all over the room, replacing items, cleaning, etc. you could tell they were serious about product and service delivery. Nice to know there are owners who are willing to do this right. I am in the business and can’t say enough. This is a place where management was engaged and doing their best to deliver.
The location was great to I75, a bunch of good malls w everything from decent food to super target to Nordstroms nearby. The rowing racecourse was one mile away, so close you could actually walk if you didn’t have a car. (Not recommended mind you).
I can’t say enough about this place. Check out the other reviews. You will not go wrong here.

I don’t give many 5 stars when it comes to hotels, especially Hampton Inn hotels. For the most part they are cookie cutter, same bedspreads, same breakfast, same coffee.
There are few things that separate one from all of the others. The first is the staff, this evening Eric greeted me and them promptly upgraded me to a sweet suite.
The fitness center is well equipped, from a nice Hoist machine to C2 rowers I was impressed.
This might just become my go-​to spot when I’m in Sarasota.

This Hampton is an easy 5.
When I arrived there were three pleasant staff ready to check me in. They greeted me as a Diamond Hhhonors member. I cannot overstate how nice and friendly they were.
My room was really nice. Clean and well stocked. Every day the room was cleaned well and restocked. No complaints there at all.
The breakfast was the best I have ever had at a Hampton. I have reviewed other Hamptons and I know some are better than others. This was the best. Janet was the attendant. Every Hampton should have a Janet. She was amazing. How nice to be greeted every morning by a friendly and sincere employee who really hosted a nice breakfast. Management… please thank her.
Nice pool and spa and fitness centre.
Hotel was quiet at night. Lots of nice shopping and restaurants within walking distance.
Now for the negatives. I did not see a recycling bin. Why not? Please put some recycling bins in the hotel.
And Hhonors members take note. As a Diamond member I did not get an upgrade. As a Diamond member I should have been give a suite. I know there some available, the staff should have been proactive and given me a suite. I didn’t care either way this time. However, Diamond members should definitely be proactively upgraded. We spend enough nights in your hotels that this should be automatic.

While his location is a bit hard to find (turn into the shopping center and follow the mini-​signs to the hotel), this may be the cleanest, hippest, best run Hampton Inn I’ve seen in many years. I felt welcome from the moment I entered the new, modern lobby. Free wifi, free breakfast, a stocked workout room/​gym, along with a pool and jacuzzi, this place is hard to beat. Came back from a dinner meeting to find a card from the manager, asking if there was anything I needed. Front desk always greeted me, again asking how they could be of service. My room was comfortable, stocked with Neutrogena products, and full of plush towels. Overall, as a business or family hotel, this earns a five star designation.

We had a choice between the Hampton Inn and the New Courtyard Hotel that’s about ½ a mile away. Due to the price that the Courtyard was offering when we arrived (it’s better to book online right away, or they’ll hike up the price within minutes), we decided to find somewhere to stay.
We drove around Bradenton for a few mins., when we discovered the Hampton Inn within the same vicinity. I needed a place to stay that was a short walk from LA Fitness as well as restaurants, for a reasonable price. I wasn’t looking for anything exclusive or high-​end. Just average.
Hampton Inn did more than fill the bill. The price was reasonable, and it was still within walking distance to the gym, stores and the rowing lake. We didn’t have a fridge and microwave in our room. Guess what? They had the maintenance man bring them up. Our room was large, clean, and way beyond my expectation for the price.
Like one of the posters stated, it’s not very easy to get to? But I think you’ll get your money’s worth with this hotel. Great staff, Housekeeping was fantastic, and the fitness center was beyond what I expected. If you can’t get to the gym due to inclimate weather, or you can’t afford the $ 15.00 drop-​in fee with L.A. Fitness, I think the hotel’s fitness center is more than adequate.

I was in town for work and chose this location given its close proximity to my work destination. That convenience was the driving force behind me choosing this hotel.
The hotel is conveniently located right off of I-​75 in a retail shopping/​dining development. Thankfully, there are Hampton Inn signs with arrows which were a savior in terms of my being able to successfully navigate through the parking lot in order to find the hotel. Absent those signs, I might have had a hard time finding this place. Additionally, the maps function did not correctly recognize the location of the hotel, which would have added to the challenge without those signs. It is tucked into a corner of this development, where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shopping opportunities. I didn’t use any of those during my one night stay.
I was able to check in early and get a quick workout in before an early evening work function nearby. The check in process was quite efficient. The room was standard in size and typical of the Hampton brand. In other words, I was indifferent to the room. Again it was all about location, location, location.
The workout room is located on the first floor near the lobby. Given the size of the hotel, I wasn’t sure what the workout facilities would look like, and the neighborhood wasn’t all that conducive to banging out a run outside given the traffic and the lights. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few rowing machines (likely a byproduct of the area recently building a manmade lake to host the World Rowing Championships, could be wrong), a couple of treadmills and elliptical machines. There were also two benches for using the free weights available. There was also a medicine ball and some weighted balls next to the free weights. The room also had antibacterial wipes to clean the machines, water, magazines, and towels. I used it on two occasions and for the most part had the place to myself.
The room was spacious in size, had full size mirror on the closet door, and had a thermostat to control the temperature of the room. The doors weren’t not all that thick and you could hear noise from the hallway. Normally I wouldn’t notice it, however a family with small children were making a bit of noise late in the evening which woke me. Outside the control of the hotel, but do wish the door had better soundproofing.
Breakfast was a typical Hampton breakfast, however the area was definitely cleaner than some of the other hotels I’ve visited. I had a quick bite and was happy to see that they had plenty of hard boiled eggs available. A few other Hampton Inns haven’t always had them available.
Should my work travels bring me back to this area, I would be content to stay here again.

I’m a Diamond member and typically I don’t stay in places with the word «inn» included (I know sounds snobby) but I have to say this Hampton was ok.
The ONLY problem I had was that they placed me on the 4^th floor surrounded by smoking rooms. Being a former smoker, I thought I could deal with the smell. Well. I couldn’t. It was seeping thru the vents and I had to switch floors and rooms. Seriously Hampton. Try not to out the people that spend the most money at your chains in rooms that are NOT their preference. I do recall clicking non-​smoking.
Luckily the guy at the front switched our room without question.

I like the Hampton Hotel chain. I’ve stayed at many Hampton hotels throughout the country and I prefer them over most chains. This one had to be one of the better ones I’ve stayed at.
At the end of a long day at the beach I took a steaming hot shower and jumped into the big fluffy clean bed. It felt like I was at home!

Nothing spectacular but clean and somewhat new. Front desk personnel need a tad more personality. Wireless works and decent speeds. Breakfast was not bad but not stellar. Breakfast area needs a little more room and quicker cleanup. The pool area is small but really nice with music playing in background. It’s next to a really nice outdoor mall off interstate; so several places to shop, eat and nightly strolls.

Never stayed in a Hampton inn or in this one in SRQ but it was incredibly well appointed, clean, comfortable and affordable. Highly recommend it.
