This hotel has went down hill…read more My first stay at this hotel was a few years ago with my family and a friend of mine. Top floor suite, great view, and satisfactory breakfast. Since my prior experience was great, I decided to book a little weekend getaway with my boyfriend to show off the establishment. I called to book our reservation and described IN DEPTH the suite I stayed in previously. I'm unsure if it's just Hampton Inn or all Hilton hotels, but the booking was done through a call center. The call center wasn't a problem, but the outcome upon arrival was. I called to confirm our reservation with the front desk to which I was laughed at (I believe her name was Rebecca). I hung up immediately because I've never experienced such condensation in my life for the most simplest of questions. We almost cancelled our trip right then and there because of the blatant disrespect and arrogance. Mind you, I described IN DEPTH the previous suite i've stayed in. Explain to me how we were placed in a small room with no microwave, fridge, and no garbage bags for the bins. We were pissed! $520 dollars for two nights in a room that we didn't even request. But wait there's more... We were able to get moved to a "suite", aka the same room with a microwave and refrigerator. The TV options were minimal (the times we could get it to work), still no garbage bags, and extremely cramped. Morning rolls around... My boyfriend couldn't even drink the coffee. He relayed to me that the hot breakfast looked "inedible", so he opted for a grab n go yogurt that wasn't even cold. We left the morning after. It was that bad. My entire childhood has been hampton Inn's and It's so beyond disappointing that a Hampton with so much potential (location, history, etc.) could be so careless. Do better.

Being able to walk past the pool to the Riverwalk and sit on the bench while drinking my coffee in the breeze was lovely. However, see the dolphins swim by you in the river ( YES Dolphins!!!) made this place even better. Based on the amount of locals watching and walking by, this is a daily thing. Ok, back to the hotel. There is plenty of parking. When you go in, there is the kindest staff waiting to greet you with a smile. This means a lot. They also have water available which is a nice touch. The restaurant serves Starbucks coffee and some items for breakfast for purchase and dinner too. I just got coffee and an afternoon beverage to enjoy by the pool. The pool is right out back and has lots of seating. There is also a hot tub. The hotel has 5 floors. Our king room was a nice size with plenty of bathroom space. It also included a couch as well as a desk, which was great since I was working from the hotel. The air conditioner worked very well. The room also had a small patio so I was able to open the door and get some nice fresh air. The humidity was kind of high so I didn't keep the door open often. The only small issue was there is a train that goes across the river and it blew its horn pretty early in the AM. Not the end of the world and kind of cool to watch the tracks go down for the train and then up so boats can pass. There is one restaurant across the street which had decent food. We didn't walk to the downtown via the Riverwalk, but you can and it's about an15 minute walk.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the gentleman at the front desk who was extremely…read morefriendly and welcoming. I wish I knew his name because he truly deserves recognition for his kindness and professionalism. He makes the check-in experience so pleasant and sets a positive tone for the entire stay. The hotel is always clean, comfortable, and inviting. The rooms are cozy, the beds are comfortable, and the Jacuzzi tub is the perfect way to relax and unwind. You can tell the staff take pride in keeping everything well-maintained and making guests feel at home. The prices are reasonable, which makes staying here an easy choice. This Best Western is comfortable, relaxing, and clearly managed by people who care about their guests. Highly recommend it!

Home2 Suites by Hilton is one of my favorite Hilton brands to stay at. I travel often, and having…read moreHilton Honors Diamond status definitely keeps me coming back. This stay was for a quick overnight work trip. I arrived pretty late -- completely exhausted and starving after a three-hour drive -- but the hotel was easy to find with GPS, parking was simple, and I was greeted right away by two very polite front desk associates. The lobby is beautifully maintained and nicely decorated. There's a coffee bar right when you walk in, which is a great touch (though I'm not sure how frequently it's replenished throughout the day). My room was on the second floor, and it was spotless. One of the reasons I love Home2 Suites is how spacious the rooms feel. It truly feels more like a mini apartment than a standard hotel room. There are so many functional spaces to set your things down without feeling cramped. I had a full-size bed, a couch, and a long counter that could easily serve as a workspace for two people at once. I especially appreciate having the option to prepare your own meals. When you travel often, sometimes you just want to stay in and not eat out for every single meal. The bathroom was roomy with amazing hot water -- exactly what I needed to relax my muscles after that long drive. I slept great, no noise issues at all, and woke up fully refreshed. I didn't try the breakfast because my boss had suggested we go out instead. My only general suggestion -- and this applies to many hotels -- would be to focus on serving more fresh, real breakfast options. When you're staying at a Hilton property, you expect quality across the board, including the food. Overall, this was a great stay, and I would absolutely return.

My husband had a conference, and I had a soccer game so it worked out. Got here a little later than expected so I called the front desk before arriving. The lady greeted me kindly and let me know she would be at the desk until later on. I was happy to hear because when I finally arrived, she was actually there. I was greeted with a warm smile and she quickly checked me in so we could get settled. I asked about some amenities I may need and she pointed me to the right direction. They have a washer and dryer, which is something I do use when I go on vacation. The actual room was spacious. Always a plus when it's a couple of people in the room. It was clean and maintained so throughout our stay. Overall great hotel. The only "complaint" I have is the mattress however I feel like this is common in most hotels. Wasn't the best mattress that I have ever laid on but it worked for the couple of nights I stayed.

As others have noted in their reviews, Ken and Jeff are constantly working to keep up this lovely family resort. It is clean and landscaped beautifully, and the rooms are just right! With a sitting area in our two bedroom, we enjoyed the recliner and couch as we watched movies in the evening. In our full kitchen, we stocked the refrigerator from the local Publix and made our breakfast and lunch, which we packed for the beach. Many guests chose to grill out as we saw when we would load up to go to a local restaurant for dinner, but we preferred eating out! On our first night at Hurricane Hanks restaurant down the road, we met up with a resident who offered us more ideas for restaurants for dinner. There's nothing like walking right out onto the beach to spend a morning watching the waves, seeing dolphins frolic, observing osprey catching their breakfast, and swimming in the water among schools of fish. Many of the guests knew each other from yearly vacations, and we have already made our reservation for next year! Anna Maria Island is quiet and family friendly. White Sands Resort offers shuffleboard and corn hole right next to the pool, but the best show is the sunset. On our first night, we were surprised to see how many lined the beach to see God's beauty, of course clapping at the end! Thank you to Ken, Jeff, Joy, and Esther for a wonderful stay. We wish you the best in the coming year, and we look forward to seeing you again!

We came for dinner and cocktails. Sitting outside at Rufa was very pretty. I wish the cocktails had a better pour of alcohol though, but they were certainly beautiful and unique. We had dinner at Jack Dusty's which was more than average, but the setting again, was just absolutely beautiful. I had the pan seared grouper, my husband had cioppino and another in our party had the filet. (No photos of our dinners since we wanted to be present for the whole experience) The sunset was nice, the service was fabulous and top-notch as you would expect a Ritz Carlton to be. Prices are also in line with what you would expect to pay. Don't expect two or three star service and prices. However, if you're trying to leave an impression on someone, this is definitely the place!

The Ritz-Carlton Name Without Ritz-Carlton Standards…read more The Ritz-Carlton Name Without Ritz-Carlton Standards This property is tired, poorly maintained and nowhere close to what anyone should expect from a Ritz-Carlton. The wallpaper was literally separating from the walls, the carpets were dirty and badly worn, and the room had a persistent musty smell. Even the telephone did not work. The condition of the room was bad enough, but the complete lack of responsiveness made the experience worse. When the air-conditioning stopped working, it was extremely difficult to get anyone to take ownership and resolve the problem. The managers appeared indifferent, and every attempt to speak with one was met with the same explanation: they were "in a meeting." The general manager was never available. Luxury hospitality is not simply a recognizable name on the building. It requires well-maintained rooms, responsive management and people who genuinely care when something goes wrong. This hotel failed on all three. The physical condition is unacceptable, the service recovery is practically nonexistent, and management seems either unwilling or unable to address legitimate guest concerns. At Ritz-Carlton prices, guests should not have to chase management for functioning air-conditioning, a working telephone or a room that does not smell musty and look neglected. This property needs a major renovation and, just as importantly, a management team that understands accountability. Until both happen, I cannot recommend staying here.

Super clean and tidy hotel as the Hampton name is usually known for. You fill out a breakfast sheet the night before on what food you want and pick it up in the morning, it works really well (at least for covid measures when we were there). They have a gated pool, workout room, and ice machines on every floor. Plus a little pantry with drinks and snacks in case you get any random cravings and don't feel like leaving the hotel. The lady working at the front desk was really sweet and helpful when our electronic key wasn't working. Didn't get her name.. I must say it was a little difficult to find because like I said before it is BEHIND UTC and there's only a few tiny signs pointing it, so look for the PGA pro shop and go behind it. But other than that, hotel has just about all you could want!

You can grab a hotel provided umbrella by the front desk if you need one. The free breakfast has more options than I've seen at similar hotels and includes eggs, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal, waffles, cereal, muffins, yogurt, and a variety of fresh fruit including fresh oranges, bananas, grapefruit, and fruit salad. They even put out grab and go breakfast bags with two granola bars, an apple, a bottle of water and a packaged waffle pastry. I did not care for their no name brand coffee. While the cleanliness of my room was fine., the cleanliness of the hotel itself could've been better. The tables in the breakfast area were not well-maintained and it was not always possible to find a clean table. On occasion the trash cans by the breakfast area were overflowing. There also does not appear to be anyone monitoring the cleanliness of the lobby and elevators . On one occasion, I got in an elevator, and there was coffee spilled all over the floor and an empty cup left on the floor in. I returned to the front desk to report it. The night clerk said he would have someone clean it up right away but when I got into the same elevator around 9:30 the next morning, the coffee spill, and cup, was still in the elevator. I reported it to the front desk a second time and told them I had reported it the night before and nothing had been done. Dozens if a hundred guests were subjected to standing in a disgusting mess. The daytime desk clerk had someone take care of it. Overall, it was a comfortable hotel with a good breakfast and plenty of seating and tables with electrical plugs. They could do a much better job, maintaining their lobby and elevators for cleanliness, particularly around the breakfast hours.

She somehow received third-degree burns on both of her feet. Went to the ER in Wisconsin, and they wrapped the feet and put on some ointment. We get back to Naples, and she goes to her doctor, said to go to the burn unit. No burn unit in Naples, but there is one across the state in Miami and one north of us in Bradenton. I had to have a place to stay at least for a night until they figured out what her treatment plan was going to be. I liked the layout for breakfast. However, I didn't eat anything. I had some coffee, and it was good. The true test of any hotel is whether I would stay in it again. I would say yes.
