Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota

"The hotel is a Motel from the 50's. The bathroom is outdated, hot water was on and off at times. The bed sank in the middle, the rooms smelled of strong bleach. The older gentleman at front desk was friendly but the neighborhood is not a place where you would walk after the sunset."

"I was very disappointed to find out that there is no elevator and I was unable to get a room on the 1st floor. When I explained this (I had a lot of stuff to carry and have a bad knee) to the desk, he was very clear there is no refund and I should have called them first. Expedia asking for a refund but hotel was not understanding at all. I was working an art show which is 12 hours of physical work already and could not handle carrying the items up the stairs!"

"We've been staying at the Regency, usually multiple times a year, for at least 5 or 6 years now. We've tried other hotels in the area, but keep coming back to the Regency. Great location, close to the airport, The Ringling, numerous fantastic restaurants, and within walking distance of several great places to watch the sunset (Indian Beach and Sapphire Shores Park). The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the few times we've had problems, they've been addressed quickly and satisfactorily."

"From check-in to check-out, we were very pleased with our stay. We were in Sarasota for a soccer event with our son. We found Regency Inn online and thought we'd give it a try (even with the mixed reviews on Google). Honestly, we don't understand the mixed reviews because it was great! To start, the hotel has a retro vibe from the outside because it's looks like a 70s road side hotel but with modern paint/fixtures. The outside and parking were well lit and we never had concern for our safety. It was quiet during the day and night, even though it was at least 1/2 to 3/4 booked. The rooms had laminate hard wood floors, which we love. We stayed in a suite which had a living room/kitchenette when you walked in the door with a small couch, table & 2 chairs, and TV. Then there was a bedroom with 2 beds, TV, and bathroom off bedroom. We loved the bathroom with the 70s tile on the wall around tub mixed with modern tile and fixtures. If that 70s tile is original, then WOW it is super clean (including the grout). I always bring cleaning wipes to wipe down at any hotel. I didn't pick up anything as I wiped down anything. But what was even more surprising was that there was no dust on the faux wood blinds (which my husband noticed!). So, the housekeeping department does a FABULOUS job! The older gentleman at the desk was very nice and always said "let me know if you need anything." We were very impressed with the Regency Inn and would return if we are ever back in the area."

"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota, and I cannot express how delightful my experience was. The room I stayed in was not only impeccably clean but also incredibly inviting. The attention to detail was evident, and it was clear that the hotel takes great pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort. The comfortable bed provided me with a restful night's sleep, ensuring that I woke up refreshed and ready to take on the day. What truly stood out during my stay was the exceptional customer service. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed and more. Their willingness to assist with any request and their genuine interest in ensuring my stay was enjoyable made a significant difference. I felt valued and appreciated as a guest, and that made my stay all the more special. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Sarasota, and without a doubt, I will be returning to Regency Inn & Suites. Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow travelers. Thank you for a memorable experience – I can't wait to be back!"
