Top Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Kompose Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the stay. The hotel was funky in a good way. The front desk was very friendly. the bartender was a grump - but that wasn't a big deal. Loved the Citroen 2CV and the slightly french vibe. Overall - very nice"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Sarasota, FL

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in the spacious double queen suite with a bay view. The property was clean and the access to the restaurant was nice. We did not like that there were NO vending machines as a Gatorade in their lobby was $6! Definitely go to the store before arriving because the lack of drinks on site was an inconvenience in the evenings. Thankfully a Publix is close by."

Regency Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"This property has great potential, great location, and very well kept and clean. The only issue was with a staff member that created his own “curfew” rule and was extremely rude. I worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years as was outraged by how rude this individual was and his unreasonable rules. His curfew was only aimed at Hispanics to the point he called the police on us. The police agreed that this gentleman clearly had issues. I would definitely consider going back only after making sure this individual is either reassigned or no longer working at the property. What a shame for such nice place. Shelly (housekeeping) and the manager were extremely helpful. Too bad our stay was ruined by this individual’s behavior."
