Fairfield by Marriott at Lakewood Ranch - Sarasota

Breakfasts were great. Lots to choose from.

The noise of the side entry door closing. Our room was the closest to it. The rooms were on the small side.

The lobby had a constant sulfur smell. Housekeeping only came once and we had to ask for them to come, even though we requested daily housekeeping.

The front desk staff were all very friendly at this Fairfield Marriott. What was frustrating was that when I arrived, she set up daily room cleaning for my room since I had a baby with me. They cleaned the first day but never saw them again after that. I was gone for the majority of the day each day and when I returned, room still not cleaned. And it’s not like I can just ask them to come clean while I step out, if you’ve traveled with a baby, you’ll understand. The hotel was outdated, the breakfast was meh and so was the coffee which is what I’ve come to expect at these free breakfast hotels. They put the crib in the room as I requested but no sheets and when I asked for some, the lady gave me some bed sheets and said I could ask housekeeping for proper crib sheets when they arrived in an hour (it was already late and past the baby’s bedtime). Overall, they stay wasn’t terrible but it’s def not my first choice.

all good great place to stay.

Nice staff. Not quite a suite. Just a room with a microwave. Microwave was broken. Fridge and coffee maker worked. Not convenient for walking to the major malls even though the distance on a map looks like you could. It is on the other side of major highways and no direct walking routes if you do not rent a car.

Hotel was very nice, however pool area was not maintained. Overgrown weeds, dead plants, and pool and jacuzzi needed a good cleaning.

Breakfast was great.

Call front desk to get the ice machine fixed on the 3rd floor 5 day stay it never got fixed

The hotel was decent, the rooms were as spacious possible and the breakfast was okay. However the front desk crew and the breakfast lady were very friendly.
