The hotel was beautiful and the view from our room was gorgeous. We could even see manatees in the water from our balcony! The hotel is in a perfect location for access to Anna Maria Island or further into Bradenton. We never even rented a car and used Uber to get anywhere very easily and quickly! It was perfect! The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. If we needed anything, the staff was quick to help and get us what we needed. The room temp was easily controlled and very comfortable! The restaurant within the hotel was delicious with large portions. Floridays restaurant, next door, was also very delicious, again with large portions.

There was nothing we didn't like.

The hotel was great , the amenities were good , the view and the pool amazing ! We loved the shower in the room too :)

A microwave would have been helpful . Don’t mind a pet friendly hotel, we have a furry friend also …but there was still dog hair all over the carpet in our room :( Maybe only have specific rooms with furry friends ? Another reason is that I was sneezing pretty much the whole time while in the room , which was likely from the dog fur . (Our dog is hypoallergenic). There was also a lot of barking , which was sort of annoying .

So glad that the hotel is a bit off AMI as it made easy access but wasn't right in the crazy traffic. The back porch/deck had the most comfortable chairs for relaxing and pelican watching. The marina made a good view. The walk in shower is an appreciated change from tub/shower combos. Breakfast buffet had the usual variety ..what made it AWESOME were the 2 ladies manning the stations. So nice to engage with them..

Housekeeping missed the mark for a 10 rating. A light bulb replacment in the bathroom took over 24 hours from the time I reported it. The hotel utilizes a " Light" turnover system with just bed making and towel replacement etc. That would have been fine but coffee K cups should be replaced EVERY DAY and their timing on the service was underwhelming. I'm an early person so when I leave the room for the day by 9 am, my expectation is that the room would be serviced BEFORE 4 pm. A discussion at the front desk led to me being told about check out rooms go first blah blah blah. I felt like I was being lectured..

Location of Hotel is perfect. just minutes away from everything and place you would like to go. Staff are all nice and rooms were comfy and clean. Great size pool. *Quick Tip; during happy hour, go the compass bar and not the Floridays bar*

The Breakfast options were great but the whole management process needs a little work. Stations are very dirty and not clean in between switching out trays and refilling. Staff should be looking out on that to give a better look for guests. Also untencils were always in short of and came out still wet.

I liked that we didn’t have to drive to a restaurant unless we chose to. The location was definable a factor in selecting this hotel. we spent hours just sitting and enjoying the Florida weather and the activity of the marina next door.

we didn’t like the task of turning left when we drove out of the property. There is no light there and the traffic is bumper to bumper headed to Anna Maria Island. it could take anywhere between 5 minutes and 15 minutes, depending on the kindness of the moving drivers!

Our breakfast was exceptional and we enjoyed it each morning. The staff who helped with breakfast, made sure everything was refilled and cleaned at all times. They were pleasant, accommodating and very kind. The location of the hotel was perfect and so close to everything.

I can honesty say that there was not one thing to complain about. The hotel and it’s staff deserve 10 stars! I plan on writing a very nice detailed review, when I have a free day this week, as it is an exceptional place to stay at.

The breakfast buffet was fantastic! We stayed for two nights and had two different breakfasts that were of high-quality and were very enjoyable. The decor was very beachy and attractive and The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also grabbed a snack from the restaurant downstairs that included the french fries and hot pretzels and both were excellent! We appreciated the free waters in our room and the flavored waters and treats downstairs. I loved being on the water and the views it provided!

This was beyond the hotel’s control, but there were little sand fleas or some type of insect that ate up our legs during the time we spent near the pool in the evening and morning.

The hotel in is the perfect location right across the bridge from the main part of the island ... the room was spacious and very comfortable. There's a complimentary breakfast buffet every morning, I loved that someone from the hotel texted every morning and asked if you need anything. You could rent bikes .. We went to Manatee & Coquina Beaches (Manatee is over the bridge and Coquina is about a 10 minute drive) there's a laundry center near the marina building and if you have a chance go to the Ugly Grouper the food was great !!! I plan to go back soon !!

I have no complaints it was great !!

The view, pleasant staff. Very upbeat, Jimmy Buffet style hotel. They should advertise more that they also own the restaurant next door. We ate basic fish and chips dinners which was great being on the water. Everything was really amazing. Better than the pictures online, they make anything look good in a picture. This place was outstanding from start to finish.

The only thing i found little silly was the toilet paper holder next to the toilet is in an akward position when you sit down its next to your knee cap. This can really be overlooked was something very minor.

The room, customer service and stay were all nice. The cleanliness of the room was appreciated, and we loved the synthetic hardwood floor. The bed was comfy, parking was easy, location was great to visit Anna Maria Island and surrounding area. At sunset, the marina is a great place to view it.

The pillows weren't that supportive. They were ones that flattened when you laid on them. The soundproofing could be better, but most hotels are like this. Staying on a Saturday had the most noise with people staying and mingling downstairs at the bar. Lastly, there is no microwave.
