When I booked this hotel, I was expecting a hotel worthy of a retirement home(but it was the closest to where I was going). All I have to say is the service was awesome; the location was in a rapidly up-and-coming area; they have a beautiful pool and best of all, they had great cookies had the front desk ;D.... more

As a photographer for a New York daily newspaper, it's not uncommon to get a last-minute call to go somewhere ridiculous and random RIGHT NOW because a story is breaking. This happened a few weeks ago, when an NBA ref was implicated in a gambling ring; he lived in Bradenton, and my newspaper wanted 24-hour coverage at his house. Barely... more

Stayed one night with my wfie and our two kids. The front desk staff were great! Very Very helpful with all of our little requests. Room was very clean as was the bathroom and the entire facility. Breakfast was very good with many fresh fruit choices and hot waffels. Our kids loved the waffles. Would reccomend to anyone traveling in... more

This hotel has to compete with the awesome Holiday-Inn Lakewood Ranch (see Sarasota hotels) which is just one-half mile away and they do a great job of it. Clean, excellent service and good rates. Good restaurants within walking distance. There iS active competition between these two Lakewood Ranch properties and both hotels are outstanding -- but what else could you... more

Bear in mind they're not the Ritz Carlton, nor are they TRYING to be but if you want a lot of bang for your buck, this particular hotel is consistently one of the best I stay at when I travel for work. I'm here at least once a month and the staff is always friendly and quick to greet you.... more

This was a great find from the minute we walked in the door. We were using it as a stop over along the east coast on the way to the keys, so we weren't in the area long. The staff at the front desk were very pleasant and very polite. Agree with the other reviews that hotel was like new,... more

After a nightmare journey getting there from Indianapolis, hotel was easy to find - right off I-75. I breathed a sigh of relief when I was pleasantly greeted at check-in. Hotel was like new and being a female traveling alone I felt completely safe. Staff was very friendly. Free continental breakfast was as expected but since I prefer bacon/eggs, I... more

We recently stayed at the Fairfield Inn for 2 nights and were very pleased with the courteous staff, comfortable accomodations, and wonderful location. If you are expecting the Ritz, you will be disappointed, but if you just want a very clean room, comfortable bed, and very pleasant staff to work with, then you will be delighted. One bonus is the... more

Lovely, clean hotel. Looks new. Has a whirlpool, pool and exercise room. Free internet access and they even have a computer in the lobby you can use. Coffee available at all hours and cookies and fresh fruit in the evening. We stayed when they had a group of school children here and you didn't hear a sound! We generally don't... more
