Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway

8/10 Good

"Basic room with mini fridge. Water pressure could have been better but wasn’t horrible. We did not use the pool so can’t speak on that. The breakfast was simple, some cereals with oat & cow’s milk, bagels (delicious), breads, condiments, fruit, juices, & coffee. All in all, it’s was great for the price"

DoubleTree by Hilton Sarasota Bradenton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The Doubletree at SQR is adjacent to the airport, so very convenient for travelers. The hotel offers a free shuttle to the airport. However, when my colleague tried to request the shuttle using the link on the website, it took him directly to Lyft. With some searching a phone number to call the hotel with a shuttle request appeared. Everything was clean and in good shape. The breakfast buffet ($20) was average: eggs, bacon/sausage, biscuits & gravy, fruit, cereal. There is also a made-to-order menu of pancakes, French toast, omelette, etc.. Gluten-free options were lacking on both the buffet and menu."
