Best Hotels near Publix Super Market at Lockwood Commons, Bradenton

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.

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.

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.

Very clean hotel, was very pleased with front desk lady Margaret, she was very friendly The lady at the breakfast bar during our stay there was very friendly every morning and always greeted us with a smile every morning, We noticed one morning at breakfast that she was laughing and teasing over a special juice blend she makes- it was nice to be around such friendly atmosphere The food was always fresh and hot Room was clean Enjoyed our stay allot Would recommend to anyone

The resort was conveniently located on the beach and the decor was nice. We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms. The bar tenders and most of the staff was very friendly. There was one front desk girl with painted on eyebrows that was not so much. The electrical and equipment/fixtures were another story. The first night was like we were staying in a low budget hotel, and nothing really changed. We arrived late for check in. There was no hot water in any of the facets in our suite and no water pressure in the bathroom sink facet. The lighting fixtures above the nightstands in the bedroom would turn off and on at random times a couple times an hour. The ceiling fan in the bedroom was broken and had a mind of its own. It would speed up and slow down on its own. When it sped up too much the thing would rattle and shake and make noise during the night. The fan would also stop all the way on its own and reverse directions. Then the AC/Cooling system on the roof would turn on and vibrate and hum in our room off and on all night. Not peaceful at all! It was like we were staying in a haunted low budget hotel. When I woke up in the morning (if I slept), my phone was dead even though I had it plugged into the convenient phone charger on the nightstand. I brought these issues up to the front desk the next morning and they sent maintenance staff up to our room. The breaker was tripped on the hot water tank, so that was resolved, and we had no more problems with water temp. The phone charger on the nightstand was not plugged in behind the nightstand and this was fixed. We were told: All of the bathroom sinks had the same facet and no water pressure. There was nothing he could do about it. The lights above the nightstand had some sort of sensor that he could not adjust. After he left, I tried waving my hand around to activate this sensor and the lights never responded to my action but would still turn off and on at random times a couple times an hour. He also said he did not have an answer for the fan or had no control over the noise level of the AC/Cooling system on the roof. We stayed there 4 nights with blinking lights and a haunted fan in the bedroom and had to put up with the noisy AC/Cooling system. Worst (4) nights of sleep in my life. I also received a $75.00 parking citation for parking the golf cart the wrong direction in the parking lot, which was a dead end. I was told I could park there by the front desk, but never told I had to be facing a certain direction. Love the Florida beaches, but will stay elsewhere next time.

Booked this hotel for a quick overnight stay. The price was reasonable compared to other hotels in close proximity. We normally stay at a bit nicer hotel but took a chance on this one based on the many great reviews. Pros Extremely nice check in staff Convenient to airport and highway Nice heated pool Cute tiki bar area Room was clean and newly painted spacious Bathroom was clean although tub was old Bed comfort was ok Couch in room Small kitchenette for longer stays Elevator available Free parking Cons Room has old carpet smells musty Tub is old and worn Furniture is worn and tired Noisy street and planes Humidifier in room was full and noisy The musty smell would prohibit me from staying here again. They started updates they may want to consider removing the carpet next. Otherwise it wasn’t bad for a quick stay.
