Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota

The front desk was nice and helpful. I got a room on a higher floor (thanks Trip.com). The location is very good. City Center in walking area, safe neighborhood. But: the hotel is encircled by building and street construction sites. It is very loud. Not what you expect if you have holidays and want to relax. And USD 32.- (incl tax) per night for the self-parking, is too much.

Evening receptionist was a bit rude, Didn't want to answer question. not very helpful. a younger girl stepped in and answered all my question. I think she also got the vibe that the lady was being rude.

Not our first time at this hotel, not bad experience this time but not happy with the $30 daily parking charge for a regular self parking NOT valet service. Laundry room need attention, washer/dryers need a deep cleaning. Breakfast service still excellent but evening reception is getting worse with every visit, Still loving the location and still on our top options when visiting the area.

We were impressed with this hotel. The room was great! It was a spacious bedroom with a separate living room and small kitchenette. It had a great view of the water. It included a complimentary breakfast and happy hour with plenty of snacks! The restaurant view was amazing! The city provides a trolley that circles around the places we wanted to visit, including Lido Beach and St. Armonds Circle that has lots of restaurants and shops.

Good: Our room is really nice and just right for a long stay. Breakfast is good and it’s included in our rate. Not Good: In house parking is very expensive but we manage to park on the street for free.

I recommend going elsewhere. If you stay here, Check for hidden fees first. They add $30/day parking & $25/day amenity fees. This is done for profit. ******* can post a lower rate than the hotel website & the hotel can increase prices on customers without giving more to *******. ******* is paid on the room rate, not the amenity and parking rates. Use the restaurant & you can recover the amenity rate in your dinner. Amenity fees supports the restaurant. My room was not ready on arrival. They suggested I go to the restaurant. The dinner came out of my pocket, despite the fact that I had to pay an amenity charge. Bad service by the front desk staff. Random fees appeared on my CC. These fees did not seem to coincide with any specific activity. I was polite & merely asked about it without complaining. Regardless, the man at the desk seemed annoyed that I would dare to ask. The cleaning staff folded up the towel that was in my shower and put it back under the sink. I discovered this when I picked it up shortly after they left and discovered that it was still wet. I am not sure that the sheets were clean, either. Dirty floor. The location is extremely noisy. One bright spot: I received very excellent service in the restaurant. The supervisor there was diligent in making sure that we had a good experience in that space. The servers at the bar and restaurant were helpful, quick, and courteous. Second bright spot: Plenty of things to do in walking distance from the hotel.

This is a great hotel with a good dining in option. It is convenient and has great views. I highly recommend it.

The construction noise in the room next door. The walls are thin and can easily hear talking

Its a very nice hotel. The rooms were large and well furnished and were also clean. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was very good. The location was good. It was nice having an extra pull out bed and mini kitchen. Everything was very nice. The only thing I did not like was the parking garage. It was very tight and claustrophobic. Some people had huge vehicles in there. It made it hard to get past them. If it were full, I'm not sure it would be easy to turn around and get out.
