Looks nothing like the pictures online. They have a bunch of trash taking up 30-40% of their parking lot. The main entrance sliding doors were broken, you have to pull them apart yourself. Theres a big sign in front desk saying “100% smoke free hotel smell the fresh air” once you check in the clerk also tells you anything we break will get charged to our card or if it smells like someone smoked in the toom. Which I completely understand and agree with. Now when i go up to the room it smelled horribly like cigarette, I go down to the front desk and inform them and I asked for a different room in which I was told “no we are completely booked” which i could understand but no “I apologize for the inconvenience” i didnt get no “we’ll refund you a 50% at least of your stay” NOTHING! We were dealt to deal with the sickening smell, my husband and I made the decision to stay only because we were still 3-4 hours from our house. The walls were all scratched up, the bathroom doors have gone through a war, the hallway carpets were stained and smelled. Definitely a disappointment and not worth the $200 I spent for a 1 night stay.

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS HOTEL
From the beginning main door wasn’t working you literally had to push it hard to open and close.
The rooms had a strong smell of smoke
AC wasn’t working properly not cooling at all.
We have a 90+degree weather and this place had not cold water to shower water was literally burning hot.
Doors didn’t lock so if you plan on getting a room for 2 or more people you’ll have no privacy.
On top of all that they charged us some extra fees for our dogs being too loud apparently if you bring your dog you have to keep them quiet the whole time which is impossible so do not bring your pets with you.
In other words worst hotel experience so far.

My tv did not work. Somehow, an animal was inside my bed, and urinated on my clothing. I was moved to a different room that should have been at a lower price, but was never given any credit. I asked to speak to the manager multiple times, but he was never there. When I finally did see him, he said he was leaving for the day and would look into my issues. He never called me. He didn’t even apologize. He blew me off and knew that he did not care. The unfortunate part of this is that his staff was actually very good. They just had no authority to assist me.

Very little unsecure parking spaces. A lot of construction. The room had acceptable air conditioning. There were no cleaning services offered in the 9 days I was there. During my 9 day stay and three rooms later, they finally found a room that the phone worked. Family trying to contact me could never get anybody to answer the main phone to transfer to me. I had to go to the main desk and find somebody to use their phone. Not a very pleasant experience for the almost $1,000 I spent at this hotel

When you first walk in, you are greeted by the smell of old building. The place definitely needs a total renovation. There was signage for smoke free facility and walking up the stairs you could smell marihuana all over the stairs and hallway. The ceiling tiles were stained. Then in the room the plumbing needed some assistance with flushing and sink drainage, the shower had hair from previous guests. I could go on and on. The bed and pillows were comfortable. In summary, we won’t stay there or recommend it to anyone.

It looks like the hotel is getting fully remodeled. Which is great but it was not in good condition, there was an odd odor throughout the hallways and the amenities were not what we expected. The lights in the parking lot were not on and did not feel safe.

Our stay at Sleep Inn was very disappointing. The hotel was undergoing renovations that were not fully disclosed at booking, and the conditions were unacceptable.

We were given two rooms, both of which were dirty and covered in dust from the construction. Cleanliness should not be compromised, regardless of renovations.

As part of the Choice Hotels brand, we expected much better. I would not recommend staying here until renovations are complete and standards improve.

I have stayed at other Sleep Inn hotels in PA, VA. NC. I have found them all to be different in room design, decor, amenities,and age of hotel.This one in North Sarasota. FL, had a nice reception area and a cute sitting space near the entrance. The 2nd floor room was clean, but sparse on soap, shampoo, lotion, 1 small size of each, and no conditioner. I'd registered online for a same night stay for 2 adults, 2 beds, expected queen beds, got doubles. The room itself was small. The sink was separate from the very small bathroom space- a toilet and shower closet with a glass door. A wooden sliding door which stuck halfway (seemed off track) separated the toilet and shower ftom the rest of the room. The shower had great water pressure. The breakfast selection was nice, especially the waffle maker. To be honest, if all rooms were like this, I think it might be more suited for a business person or an on the road driver who just needed a place to shower, sleep, get breakfast, and go.

Some other guest arrive later and running and yelling up the hall right outside our room for 45 mins. I went to ask the clerk for another room and he said they were full and \"his hands were tied\" There was nothing he could do. He said the people would probably settle down anyway. We literally were there a total of 3 hours from check in, went to dinner, came back and CHECKED OUT at 9pm. I got only 2 days refund but we want the other day also. We are contacting the management company. DONT GO THERE.

Very average if you just need somewhere for getting your head down overnight from the airport across the road, but anything beyond that then sadly avoid! I was only staying for 3 nights but still checked out early at my expense to go elsewhere. Hotel felt cheap and seedy, was very unclean. The shower had long hair still stuck to the walls (I have short hair!), nail clippings in the toilet room that defo weren’t mine. Beer bottle caps under the table that weren’t mine showing the basic even cleans weren’t done. The sheets had wear holes through them where they’re probably 10 years plus old! I ended up needing to keep shoes on in the room as my white socks and feet went black without them on where they clearly don’t mop! When I checked out early due to this the staff couldn’t care less, just checked me out where this is clearly a very common issue. No doubt management will respond below “thanking for feedback they can learn from” but you shouldn’t need poor reviews to understand a hotel room needs cleaning between stays. I’d avoid this one and look elsewhere
