"Helped us get a 1st floor room!!"

Homewood Suites by Hilton Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival it was just as pictured. Walked in to a super friendly staff. Nice sitting and eating area, pet bar was so cute. Smelled clean and inviting. The air freshener might have been new because it was too strong and overwhelming for my senses. The halls were very long and bare. Lacked decor. Entered our room/suite, super nice. Comfort level 10/10. The amenities are great for family on budget being able to cook our own meals in our room. Ceiling fan was great. Hot water for a great shower. On to the pool area; little putting golf course and plenty of seating near the grills for our use if needed. Pool water was refreshing. Sad the hot tub was out of order. Breakfast buffet consisted of 4 hot trays, scrambled eggs, potatoes and 2 meats for tacos. (Never thought tacos for breakfast) Wish they had bacon. Cereal, oatmeal toast, bagels, make your own yummy waffles, fruit, yogurt and muffins plus coffee, tea and juice. All in all or stay was great and will definitely choose Homewood again for our next adventure to Sarasota."
