The breakfast was okay . The hallways smelled like absolute mold .they need to remove all the carpeting. Whole building has not been detail cleaned in too long. Must make improvements for all of our health

Pool was unavailable when we were there. It was a little tricky to find, but it was close to Siesta Key Beach and Turtle Beach. Also close to Siesta key village. Had a great time and will probably book again next year

Everything was in order, but the first thing we found was a small cockroach on the ceiling of the room, and the breakfast was meager—very sparse; there was almost nothing to eat.

The pool was open and available to us and was being cleaned. Breakfast was hot and kept up by a nice older man. A digital kiosk greeted us at arrival- not a real person. Neither of my requests were met even though I made those requests upon booking. Not early check in or connecting rooms or rooms next to each other. We were told to wait in the lobby when I asked if we could wait by the pool. So we left for an hour and came back to find a real person this time but he was not very friendly. He sent us up to rooms that weren't ready. My daughter went down to complain. Then he came up to us to say his manager would give us two rooms on the first floor across the hall from one another. We agreed. Then we had a leaky toilet that we didn't complain about but when it got clogged we went to the desk. This guy put his hand on his forehead and did an audible exaggerated sigh when I told him about the clogged toilet. He asked if we wanted a new room. I said it was not necessary if it worked after it was plunged. Then he asked me if I wanted a plunger. While he went to get it, I tried to flush it and then it worked. I thanked him when he returned and left the hotel to have dinner with my family. During the night my adult daughter was woken by the fire alarm in the room at 1:30am. She went to the desk and asked the digital kiosk for help. The women told her that there was no one in the hotel to help her. She went back to the room now wide awake and tried to get back to sleep. As she was about to fall back to sleep at 3:30am it went off again. She went back to the desk. The lady on the screen told her again that no one was there to help her. My daughter went back to the room, climbed on a chair and dismantled the alarm herself and brought it to the front desk telling the digital kiosk lady what she had to do. Needless to say that she only got about an hour of sleep all night. We will not be using Quality Inn again. I want a full refund. We even had to deal with the digital kiosk when we were checking out. No manager there then either. What a nightmare!

The room was well maintained. It was clean and had exactly what was needed for our 2 nights. The outside common areas were also well maintained. The a/c worked wonderfully and ice machines conveniently located on each floor. Good hotel for the price paid.

The breakfast was very limited and the steaming area very small. My wife me and our kid could not even sit at the same table.. many families standing waiting to sit..

The room was clean, but there is a mildew smell. The staff is not very helpful and charged the wrong person and simply said there was nothing they could do about it even though they were told to call if they had any issue. The staff at the front desk doesn’t seem to want to help you and just send you to a kiosk with somebody on the screen. And even when you try to find out who was working a different shift they say they have no idea because nobody was there when they got there. Very dismissive and not helpful.

The worst part was checking in. There were no people to help. A man showed up on a screen connected to what was very much like an ATM. Okay fine, it was very obvious I never seen this before and the guy ‘Mike’ kept rolling his eyes at me. The machine then broke after money being placed in it and I was told it needed to be fixed and sit and wait. 3 cleaning people walked through with nothing to say and after 20 minutes a man came to the front of the desk asking if I needed my keys made…yes, I did. In short the hospitality was nonexistent.

The check in check out with a virtual agent was not a simple process and caused delays. The room was clean and bed was nice. Bathroom worked well, and just some cosmetic issues with maintenance. They had all the essentials and overall a good value choice.

The airconditioning was broke. 2 people were sent to look at it. They could not change my room because they were full. Offered refund but never gave it. Your company never got in contact with them. I paid you in full and you paid spark hotel in full so As the customer I get screwed and both you and a lying hotel owner steal money. Not acceptable!

I shouldn't be asked to sign a blank screen! I was told I was signing that I wouldn't smoke or have a pet in the room but there was nothing in writing to show that. Because of that, I can't give a better score even though it was a nice hotel with only minor issues.

We would especially like to thank the owner, Sam, who was extremely supportive, understanding, and always willing to help. His kindness and support truly made a difference during our stay. The hotel was very clean, the rooms were well maintained and cleaned daily. Breakfast was decent; we would have appreciated having bread available, but this is only a small suggestion. Overall, everything was great and we had a pleasant stay. From Quebecers who traveled over 2,500 km to stay in Sarasota — thank you for your warm welcome.

The person at the front desk just walks out at three o’clock. I was waiting to check in and get a room number and a key. The bath tubs in two rooms were so slick that my girlfriend fell and our friends both fell. They had the nerve to tell us they would give our money back but move out!!! What ever happened to real customer service?

Everything was really good except that at night there was a lot of noise from the nearby rooms and they tried to open the door by pulling it several times, which made me feel unsafe and I couldn't sleep well. For the rest, everything was fine, although I don't think I would stay there again.

This place is average. Halls smell like curry and other things. Why? lol Anyway, The rate was ok for the room for 1 day but the 35 dollar extra charge to basically put your bags in the room 3 hours earlier than “check in time” at 3 pm was ridiculous imo. If the room is available and already cleaned what’s the big deal? Not sure if this is standard for a lot of motels but there’s 24 hours in a day not 20-21.

Gross. Don't stay here. Pool was filled with bird poop. Rooms are basic at best. No staff at front desk. You communicate with off property people via screen. One night is survivable, other than that avoid at all cost.

The hotel is located close to shops/restaurants. We arrived late for check in which went smoothly. Our room was clean, however we encountered roaches. We called down to the front desk and was told the hotel was completely booked and we were told to follow up with management in the morning, which we did. We were able to get half price discounted for our stay with no issue.

I booked through expedia 2 weeks before my stay and when i arrived the person at the front desk couldn’t find my reservation or the manager, they suggested i reach out to expedia, which i did. The agents at expedia tried calling and kept getting hung up on, they also tried to email as well and conveniently their system went down. Well, after 2 hours of back and forth i had to pay for another room directly through them for a much higher price. It was a busy day (valentines) so most hotels in the area were booked. Expedia was able to get me a refund for my original booking. I suggest if you must stay there Just book through them directly, the manager at the property claim “it happens all the time, blaming it on expedia” but expedia explained to me that they sent the reservation and the hotel did not confirm it.
- 2/5
People sleeping in their cars in the parking lot. People doing drugs in the parking lot in the daylight openly talking about it. The kiosk check in situation is rediculous. No wonder the grounds are a mess, the limited staff due to outsourcing the front desk job to computer screen will get you that. This is a sub $100 a night hotel. Don’t overpay for this. WiFi is also unreliable.
