Baymont by Wyndham Sarasota

Had a big hole chewed in the curtain by a dog sometime

This review is in praise of the staff. Lamar was exceptional in wanting to help us in a difficult situation with a declined credit card. He probably spent 10 minutes trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat but it was not possible. All the while he was so helpful and personable! We were so impressed that my friend returned the next day when her card was straightened out and spent a few nights. Although the motel itself needs upkeep, it is a big loss that it is closing soon. There are so few affordable motels in Sarasota, especially close to the hospital. Staff member Bitsy was also terrific. The Baymont was fortunate to employ them both!

Location

Put you wherever they put you for the cost & should put you in a place without animal smells & a/c should work But later switched rooms cuz of this

Disappointed in the quality of the hotel Obviously an older structure that needed updates. Elevator was quick and quiet but needed a facelift. Carpet worn and shredded in room. Front window curtains were shredded and torn. Front exterior door had no seals and you could daylight around door jamb. A/C was difficult to adjust and maintain a comfortable temp. Bathroom sink had several cracks. Discolored bathroom tub. Bed was comfortable and sheets and blankets appeared new and clean. Plenty of towels and hangers Furniture in room appeared worn, stained, mismatched.

Typical breakfast buffet. Good selection. Biscuits and gravy were better than expected.

Hotel is older. Room smelled musty but was clean. The carpet left my socks dirty. Lighting in the vanity area was poor. Sheer curtain on the window was torn and inside of the blackout curtains were either dirty or stained.

The room was clean and adequate as we passed through. However the TV didn't work, the air conditioning unit was extraordinarily loud and the freezer section of the fridge was in desperate need of a defrost. Being close to the airport there was a fair bit of noise but we couldn't really hear it inside over the sound of the air conditioning unit. We found the breakfast simple but adequate. The location suited us being close to what we were visiting Sarasota for. Plenty of parking.

Room has drywall cracks throughout the ceiling, significant water damage to shower ceiling, smells strongly of smoke, rust on door frames, hair on bed

Dumpy, smelly and dirty

We had an event in the area and this was the closest hotel to the museum. Check-in was ok. We could not really inspect the room because we only had 30 mins to get in, take a quick shower and go to the event. The bathroom was not clean. We got back late and found out the room also had roaches. Everything else around was sold out and it was too late to make other arrangements. We will never stay here again.
