Sarasota Bowlero Gulf Gate Hotels

"We were able to check in to our room early & check-in was quick. Room was clean. Only 1 light worked in the bathroom, the cold water in the bathroom sink was a trickle. Shower floor was made of rough rocks….very uncomfortable Dishwasher smelled"

"Did not have a beach front view, but beach was close to drive to. Nice hotel, reasonable price. "

"Loved the vibe and landscaping of the entire property. Our suite with full size kitchen was amazing. Great location as well. Really appreciated the beach chairs, used for 2 beach days free of charge. Highly recommend and hope to come back! "

"Very clean, amazing location for us with great restaurants near by and beach access. It is a bit further from the main beach and town "

"My husband and I had a lovely weekend at Hibiscus Suites. The staff was friendly and the location was convenient, but it’s on a very busy street. It appears they have done renovations, however, it was apparent that they cut corners on the bathroom and there was very little cold water, for some reason, in the shower so we took hot showers. These things were pretty minor, though, considering the price we paid and the proximity to everything Siesta Key. We would stay again"

"Temp in the room was great, room cleaning was great, I didn’t realize they had a laundry service"

"I made my reservation months in advance and later needed to add a night to the beginning of my trip. I was told this couldn’t be done under one reservation and would require two separate bookings. Confirmed via email with office staff. However, on the very first morning of my trip I had a very upsetting experience. While I was outside quietly enjoying my coffee and looking forward to a peaceful vacation, a cleaning staff member abruptly entered my rental space and aggressively told me, “You were supposed to check out at 10am.” Her tone was confrontational and unprofessional. I firmly explained that I had an active reservation through Thursday. Without any acknowledgment or apology, she turned and walked away, still visibly irritated. The interaction left me shaken. I immediately called the office, upset and in tears, to report what had happened. I was told the property manager would be notified and would reach out to me as soon as possible. That never happened. I received no follow-up and no attempt to address the situation. The only communication I’ve received since then has been requests for photos for their social media and prompts to leave a review. While the property itself is nice, the lack of professionalism and complete disregard for the guest experience make this a place I would not recommend. Do yourself a favor and pick a place where guests are treated with basic respect."

"The area is quiet. The house is in a side road near a strip plaza. It’s cute and good for the tiny home experience. The microwave in our home looked pretty damaged on the inside. We did not use it but the stove top worked great!"

"It was a great little place and served just the purpose we needed it for. Van, the host, was great with communication and offering activity ideas, etc. Beach wasn't far for all our little outings. All in all, a great stay! However, worth noting, when I chose to rent this listing, it did say it had a whirlpool/hot tub as well as the heated pool. When I arrived there was no hot tub and no word of said hot tub or of not having one. I do understand things happen, and its no longer in the listing, but a heads up could of went along way...it wasn't the only house on my radar. Had it been important to me I could of chose elsewhere, they could of offered to make up for it in other ways. Not saying a word and hoping we wouldn't notice when we arrived didn't leave a good taste with me. It did not ruin my trip by any means but still, ehh.And I also didn't really care for receiving a text an hour before check-in saying to click this link and pay this fee before I will receive an access/entry code. (After VRBO has already sent me an entry code via email) I was well aware of an extra "resort" fee outside of the VRBO fees, they mention it often in the listing. I would of just appreciated receiving it prior to my mid arrival travels. It was an unnecessary last minute frustration I could of went without while navigating travel. Again, it all worked out fantastically, just some things worth mentioning. "
