Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota

Good service, nice atmosphere — it’s worth coming here to relax. The food at the restaurant was good, and the breakfast as well.

Comfortable Everything was perfect. There was some mixup with ******* where they canceled my reservation because my credit card declined My credit card declined because I had canceled it due to fraud and did not remember to add the new credit card to my ******* account. However, ******* did not notify me that my reservation had been canceled. I called Embassy Suites to confirm my reservation from my departure airport and was informed that it have been canceled by *******. Embassy got me a room thank goodness, however, my original reservation was for two queen beds and upon entering the room I found I have been given a king size one bed. My daughter and I ended up sleeping in the one bedroom. The lady at the omelette kitchen is amazing. She’s very pleasant and fun to be around. The only complaint I have was the lamps that are attached to the wall are coming off. So that kind of ruined some of the room’s aesthetic. The housekeeping staff was amazing the front desk people were amazing. I do, however I think $40 a night for parking is a little steep, especially since the rooms are already very expensive, and the $28 resort fee is a little exceptional as well. Although Embassy does say if you charge something from the restaurant after lunchtime, it will be credited against the $28 a day fee

Sarasota Hotels We stayed here while we moved our daughter into college. It was very comfortable. MUCH bigger room than we expected. Pool was nice and relaxing after a long drive and move in day. Staff was TOP NOTCH. We will definitely being staying again when we come to visit. This was the 3rd trip and 3rd hotel we stayed in while in Sarasota. Out of the 3 visits this was by far the nicest hotel we stayed in.

Pros: The corner room in 17th floor was nice and a nice view. Workers were nice. The breakfast was great. Location 5 minutes drive from my favorite beach Lido beach. The city trolley makes a stop in front of the hotel(if you dont rent a car). The gym is small and simple equipment for a simple workout. Bed is comfortable. Cons: parking $40night (outside parking in the street is free) they charge a $28 restaurant fee per night (if you eat at they're restaurant they will avoid the $28 and just pay what you consume, not many options on the menu, they're dishes are $5 to $6 higher comparing outside restaurants) but that limits you on trying a restaurant outside. Staff not trained properly on how to explain this fee so had a little confusion. Another $25 fee per night is added (stay fee). The swimming pool is very restricted, closing early at 7pm. (A glass window that divides the pool and gym is/was cracked). Internet/wifi access is not free and limited. No free streaming channels access, even we all have these services now days I think adding them is a plus(even I offer them for free in my airbnb rental). Pillows not comfortable.

It is a high quality hotel just be aware of the hidden charges like 40$ parking and 25$ “credit” who knows for what.
