Hotels in Bradenton with Swimming Pools

As Ambassador Elite, we have had the opportunity to stay at many Marriott properties. This was our first stay here and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is located right on a large marina with beautiful views. The suite was spacious, very clean, and bright. There is a restaurant on-site, Oak & Barrel, which has a great Reuben. There is a rooftop pool (small, but large enough to do laps). There is also a very busy roof top bar and restaurant - part of the Oak & Barrel. The fitness center has sufficient equipment, but could use a stationary bike. Parking is free at an indoor garage, very close to the hotel. Of great importance to us is the very professional and welcoming associates/staff. We experienced outstanding service at every level, with special thanks to Nikki, as well as to Kira and Armando. We are looking forward to our return visit in 2023 !!!!

Exceeded expectations 👍🏻 Upon my arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the inn’s owner. I was very happy when I entered the room to find the floors weren’t carpeted, the room was clean, I was able to get restful sleep in a very comfortable bed. Thank you, Matt Erickson, for your kind attention to my reservation and requests during my stay. In addition to Matt and the owner’s excellence, I want to give kudos to the housekeeping staff. My stay was an excellent experience and a great value. Thank you! Peggy Akrigg

My room was spacious and well updated. The value was well worth the price. Conveniently located within 5 minutes of Sarasota airport and in a great area for fast food and casual dining locations. I will definitely book here again.

While this is an older hotel, (paint on paint) we found the location was great, on the water walk, great pool and hot tube. Staff could not be any more pleasant and accommodating. We used the suite with two adults and 3 children. Sofa bed not bad (its a sofa bed). two queen were comfortable. We loved it.

This Hampton Inn has excellent walkable access to the downtown Bradenton area including the restaurants and bars. The Riverwalk is just 2 blocks away. It is a very unique property holding onto vestiges of a 1920's hotel, yet holding all modern conveniences with elevators, the bathrooms etc. The parking lot is on the backside of the hotel. There are a few parking spots by the front door, but your vehicle will be alongside the road for the night if you leave it there. Breakfast is typical Hampton Inn. Nicely done and solid. Staff are friendly and respectful. The only area that is a bit hurting is staffing of the front desk. I came in on a Sunday evening. There were 3 people waiting in line, the phone was ringing constantly and only one person working the desk. The management needs to be in place in situations like this and assisting the front desk staff. Morning check out was much smoother.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this location. Excellent, clean rooms and property. Best breakfast selection. The pool was heated, which my daughter enjoyed tremendously. Staff was very friendly. Some of the housekeeping staff didn't speak any English, but I was still able to get what I needed from them. I wish I got her name. She was so nice. Will definitely start staying at other locations.

Very cozy hotel! The Iped was lost in the parking lot and was picked up by the staff. Since it was set in Chinese, there was no way to contact me, so I charged it and waited for us to go back to find it. Very touched!

The staff is great. Jasa and Chris were so helpful. When I checked in, the toilet wouldn't flush. Jasa offered me an opportunity to switch rooms. She also had maintenance come straight up to fix the toilet in my original room - so I stayed there. The rooms are ok, from a design/decor point of view. Air conditioning works well. Shower has good pressure. Parking is easy and convenient. The carpet, though, is, quite honestly, filthy, and not just in the guest rooms. I wear white socks. Walking across the carpet in the room left them really, really dirty. I dampened a washcloth and rubbed it over a very small section of the rug, just to test, and it was alarming. Management should, at the very least, have the carpets throughout the hotel cleaned. I know that this has been an ongoing problem, based on other online reviews. I can't recommend people stay there until that gets resolved. Also, the red chair in the room I stayed in was very dirty. I wouldn't sit in it. Once these issues are resolved, I would change my rating to 4 stars.

This was our second visit to this area to visit family and this hotel has a lot going for it -- central location near restaurants, the interstate, shops, friendly staff and atmosphere, exceptionally clean and modern guest rooms and public areas. Once again, we felt welcomed by the reception desk and rest of the staff each day as we had during our first visit last year. However, some suggested areas of improvement: 1. If snacks are from 5 - 7 p.m., have them out on time. Only happened once in a week. 2. Remind us at check-in we could have received more bottled water as Hilton Honors members, and 3.Last, but not least! Eliminate the little slips of paper that were strewn all over the hallway each day (a week for us) from the new General Manager. We felt they were a waste. If they are left on doors, they don't stay there and litter the hallway. (What if you are handicapped and cannot bend to pick it up?) Not a good image/perception, at least for us. This did not happen last time we stayed and we felt just as welcome without the litter in the hallway when you opened your door each morning. Only good as scrap paper since pens and notepads are no longer provided in rooms (perhaps because of the pandemic?). Consider alternatives, e.g., a Welcome placard/tent card on the desk in each room with the same message from the GM with her contact info should suffice, and/or have a board (electronic or otherwise) by the elevators or by the breakfast room where you can post the daily forecast and who is serving breakfast, and a daily message from the GM. We've seen this done at other hotels, conference centers, and cruise ships. You are modern in every way ... come into the 21st Century with that gesture too.
