I would first like to say I understand the frustrations that everyone else is writing about. Imagine having all of your family staying there the weekend of January 13th through the 16th and construction/renovations taking place until the very last second they walk through the door. But this is a testament that miracles really do happen! ALL OF IT IS... More

We had reservations to stay at this hotel in 2 weeks. Would you believe they called us and told us that we no longer have a room. They are remodeling and our room or any like it are not available. I can't believe they didn't know about this earlier. I will not be trying to stay here again. We did... More

We have stayed at this hotel in the past. It now officially is called Siesta Key East Suites. This change began around mid Oct & they told us that their intent is to become part of the Holiday Inn chain, but that this isn't a done deal yet. It still is a nice hotel. Staff is friendly. Breakfast has all... More

Stayed here 2 weeks ago an found it to be very comfortable and a great value. The facility was clean and the staff very friendly. As other people mentioned there is a musty smell which I assume is from the dampness but it was no big deal. The only thing needing improvement is the carpeting needs replacement other than that...

I was a little concerned about the mentioned moldy smell and staying here. The hallways have a just sprayed freshener smell, so the moldy smell was not detectable :). Our room was clean, no mold or air freshener smell and very nice. My one major complaint was the evening/night shift woman on duty. She definately needs a class in hospitality.... More

We went to the first room assigned to us and could not believe how damp it was. We were then given a room on the top floor which was much better but you could still feel the dampness in the air. They have out of this world cookies, good parking, and Dunkin Donuts right in front of the hotel. I-75... More

We apologize for any musty smell you may have encountered. Being a Florida property, it is always a challenge to combat dampness. We are happy to hear you found us to be a great value and conveniently located. We look forward to having you as a guest again soon! More

We had planned on spending twice the money to stay at a room on the beach but most were taken or not the preferred room. We've never been to Country Inn & Suites and picked them randomly and got a PLEASANT SURPRISE! This is the most comfortable we have felt at a motel in years. For a couple looking for... More

Stayed here 5 times in 4 years and it has always been clean. Yes we had to change rooms for musty smell once, and broken air conditioning once, but the staff always tried to accomodate us. Breakfast is great, and rooms are always very clean. Our only complaint is the comfort of the beds. We choose this hotel so my... More

Our family stayed here for 3 days and 2 nights over the weekend with 3 other families. We all got 4 rooms. Our room was fine although the bed covers looks a little shabby they were in good condition - just not appealing to the eye. We stayed in the 2nd floor with the view of the pool and the... More
