Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota

This is a good overnight stay near the airport. The area seemed safe. The parking is located close to your unit and is well lit at night. Check in and out was easy. I gave it 3 stars because the bathroom and kitchen area needed an extra scrub. The bed was clean and comfortable.

Room was very clean . Beds were comfortable. Staff and check in went smoothly. Pool location is in the parking lot, along side a busy road . Pool was fenced in and well maintained . Hotel building is older but inside is modern and updated. The AC worked great but was very noisy. Very close to airport great for early morning flights out. Parking was safe .

The biggest problem I had was I had NO hot (nor even luke warm) water. I literally ran the bathroom sink tap for 45 minutes - no even warm water. The same in the sink in the kitchen area. I also ran the bath tub faucet (to take a shower) for about 10 min - no hot water there either, but I did have at least 6 inches of water in the tub - drain didn't work. So forget about the shower. I had to leave the room at 6:30 for an early flight - got to the top of the steps and the outside lights all went out! I had to walk down the stairs with my suitcase in the dark! For an older person, this isn't a good idea. Minor - the description mentioned a hair dryer in the room. None there. I asked for one when leaving for dinner. He said he would put it in my room. Not there when I returned, I then called the desk and he said it was on the chair outside my room - evidently he remembered and saw me return and hurried the dryer up - there was no dryer on the chair when I returned, as I turned the chair to match the others. Now a bigger problem: My friend needed a first floor room - her companion can't do stairs - they stayed there 3 weeks previously and were promised a first floor room when they returned - even gave them a room number. When checking in (around 3:30) they were told there were no first floor rooms and put them on the second floor. If they didn't want it he would return their money. He was very rude about it, no "I Then I checked in and they me a first floor room!

Bed sheets and towels are not fresh and are very old. Bathtub had some mold, WiFi was very weak and we actually couldn’t use WiFi inside the room

Room was a good size but very little in the way of amenities. No shower cap but I wouldn’t use it because the shower was discusting to look at. Room was a bit dirty. No phone in room to contact desk . TV was not easily connected so I had to go outside to office for assistance. Beds were fine.

Good price. Average room. Smelled musty. Mildew on window in shower. Shower didn’t not properly drain. Ankles deep in water while showering.

Very clean room, well maintained. We appreciated extra help getting our luggage up to second floor, when we were unable. Thank you! We would stay here again, also great location.

The thermostat was broken / we alerted John thr desk person. Florida was very cold on 2/22 and 2/23 and we were uncomfortably cold.

Shower was awesome and staff were very courteous. Beds were a lil firm but not horrible. A mat outside shower would be highly recommended due to a tendency of the tile floor getting slippery when wet.
