Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Bradenton

Had occasion to go to the pool bar on a Saturday afternoon. Lisa, the bartender, was so personable! We had such a fun time. There was a wonderful DJ and Lisa helped everyone there enjoy the afternoon. There was dancing and singing(several of the guests joined in with some Kareoke). We were so glad we chose the pool bar with the Lisa & Joe Combo....AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! Thank you Aloft!

This property was so close to restaurants and the free trolly service. We loved the rooftop pool, and the complimentary bikes helped us get to Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in only a few minutes. All of the staff were extremely kind and helpful. Super trendy and fun place to be, we enjoyed the views, bar, pool, staff, comfortable rooms, everything! Definitely worth a stay.

I was really impressed with this property. Excellent walkable location, affordable, nice common areas and bar, and fabulous pool!! We weren't even there on the days when the pool bar was open, that would be even better! Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Sarasota.

Great location, mostly friendly staff, adequate room, great rooftop pool area with cabanas and bar/live music, lobby a value-add with bar/comfortabel tables and pool table area, outside patio nice, very convenient to downtown shopping/retaurants... definitely over priced for king room we had (but they put us in an accessible room so that may have been part of the problem), bedding and towels minimalistic at best - not cozy or luxurious as intimated, advertises restaurant on website but no food on site except snacks for purchase, bar costs very expensive for offerings...would still recommend staying during non price-surge periods as it is a solid hotel with friendly staff and a great location

Good place in Sarasota. Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. Rooms are normal and not very big. I guess that is Aloft style. No upgrades available as all rooms are the same. Rooms are quiet and very dark which is good for nice sleeping. Breakfast is just a few items to pick from nothing fancy. The pool is really nice and kinda rooftop. It is weird that apartments completely overlook the pool, But overall its nice. several shops and restaurants are nearby and within walking distance. Also, there is a waterfront within walking distance as well. Good place for a short business trip. Enjoy!

Quiet location , Clean rooms pretty nice pool . Friendly staff . Very nice sunrise view . Could use some breakfast to go with the morning coffee but there is a Waffle House next door that has really good food and friendly staff. We stayed here a week while visiting family and it was real nice.

Red roof does it again, 100%. Everything was great. From the front desk clerk to the king size bed. Online reservations are simple and easy to book. Which made checking in a little bit faster. The pool was perfect temperature. Will definitely be booking another stay soon.

Check in very quickly great service Nice clean rooms!!! Good WiFi and nice pool we had an amazing experience surely coming back. Also they have good restaurants near by you can try and love just wishes they had a jacuzzi

The room was decent and the pool was nice. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Very accommodating to us traveling with our 2 dogs.

Nice and quiet hotel. Clean and neat. We are very thankful for providing us with the room in beautiful spot, it was near the water pool and with the lake view. Beautiful spot in the backyard with tables was very pleasant to enjoy morning coffee. All devices worked properly.

Nice place close to Anna Marie Island and just 25 min to st Pete. Nice pool, beach club would be fun for families. Nice overall. Had a nice drink pool side while we waited for early check in. Staff friendly

We liked the restaurants and the comfort of the rooms. Very spacious. The pool area was nice and wait staff excellent at Revive pool bar. Great way to spend my bday weekend!

Great Place to 1 or 2 nights, close to Sarasota, Bradenton Downtown, outlets. Included pool, outdoor seating and access&transportation to Beach club with Pool (no beach!)and many amenitites.

Amazing hotel, amazing employees, amazing environment. Beautiful place to stay, lots of amenities. Pool bar, separate beach pool area, outdoor fun, just awesome.

Beautiful new hotel. I love the pool area. We had lunch and drinks by the pool.

We were stuck in a hotel for a few days while awaiting work on our RV (aka our home). Check-in was pretty easy and the staff were friendly. We didn't know to ask but we got a first-floor room facing the pool. It's a little longer of a carry for bags but I imagine it's a ton quieter than the parking lot side of the building. The pool and hot tub area are quite nice and there's a little pond out back that is nicely landscaped. My wife and kids got breakfast each morning. Standard "continental breakfast' fare food. No one complained, but no one raved about it. Apparently they could tell who was on clean-up duty each day, some days the breakfast was cleaned up by 9:30 (end of breakfast) and others it was just starting to be closed up at 9:30. Beds were decently comfortable and the room was decent size. The air conditioner didn't blow as cold of air as we would have liked and it never quite got down as cool as we would have preferred. Usually not a problem, but it messed with our sleep a bit. My wife used the laundry. One machine didn't dry the clothes. The staff refunded her money and she used a different dryer that worked fine. Just around the corner is a BBQ place called Sonny's BBQ that was amazing. We actually stopped there a second time after we checked-out. A short drive away is another restaurant called the Shake Station. This was an absolutely fantastic little dinner with great food and ice cream.

this is our 3rd or 4th time we've stayed at the quality inn bradenton fka comfort inn. we always spend a week or two in bradenton during winter, but it has been a couple of years since we've stayed here. the hotel which has the motel style outside entry room doors. the walkways, lobby, breakfast area, pool is kept very clean. our room had two queen beds, of average size, was super clean with what appeared to be new carpeting. the bathroom with shower and toilet was a smaller separate room to the sink that was outside it. beds were very comfortable. nicely furnished with microwave and refrigerator. the tv was good size, with showtime. the free breakfast was very good with eggs, sausage pattys, waffle and pancake maker. sausage gravy and biscuits was very good. average coffee. oj, fruit, cereal, etc. many copys of usa today newspaper available. we happy the usual breakfast was served during the coronavirus. not many people there, so you could even eat in the breakfast area/lobby. pool was open too. our room # 211 internet/wifi did not work very well, connection would come and go. appears this room too far from modem/router. if we were gonna stay longer, we would have asked to be moved. price just alittle high at $95 not including tax/fees, since it is far from beach(that was closed), near I-75.

My wife and I stayed here for one night waiting for our power at home to return. I'll have to say that this was the best Quality Inn that we have ever stayed at, and that has been quite a few across the states. The double queen room was VERY clean, spacious, beds were comfy, shower was GREAT. Breakfast was very good, always love biscuits and gravy! Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice size pool. Adequate workout room. Great location- many good restaurants nearby, close to I-75. Price was reasonable as well. Definitely would stay here again and I recommend this hotel to all that my be looking in the area.

Big room! Clean. View of pool and courtyard. I usually do not like when each room Opens to the outside. This one has doors on outside that open to an enclosed courtyard. It was nice/ quaint. Sink separate from toilet/ shower! The best. Jacuzzi tub for 1 not 2 as stated on website. Breakfast was complete -3 protein choices -eggs/sausage/yogurt Other standard breakfast items like bread/ muffins/waffles/cereal... Breakfast attendant kept items filled and was willing to assist with anything and anticipated needs. Overall good value!

This is now Quality Inn. This is the nicest Q.I. I've stayed at. Large , clean rooms. Looks recently renovated. Large flat screen TV with all the channels. Great job with breakfast. Pool area is clean. Water us great. Entire staff very helpful and friendly. Miranda and Melissa went above and beyond to help us. I highly recommend this hotel.

Breakfast was very good with many a la carte options; Front desk staff very friendly; Service staff courteous and helpful; Pool and pool area were clean and very well maintained; Lobby area clean; Room was clean and fresh. Nice touch with lemon water available in the lobby for all arrivals.

I came to the Courtyard Bradenton on 1/20/23 and I stayed 4 nights. I found the room to be spotless, the pool and patio areas were lovely and relaxing. My room had nice amenities and was very comfortable. The cafe in the lobby was very convenient. Every member of the staff that I met were wonderful. They all were helpful and very professional. My room was very quiet. I stayed on the first floor. I had no idea that there were lots of soccer kids there for a tournament until I opened my door in the morning. My next 3 nights were equally quiet. It lightened my heart to see so many happy kids My trip was for a sad reason, my brother fell ill, and I stayed at Lakewood Medical Center with him until he passed. I needed a close place to stay afterwards to take care of matters. I am so grateful for the kindness of the staff and very appreciative of the hospital discount. Thank you, Leslee Siano

While this is an older hotel, (paint on paint) we found the location was great, on the water walk, great pool and hot tube. Staff could not be any more pleasant and accommodating. We used the suite with two adults and 3 children. Sofa bed not bad (its a sofa bed). two queen were comfortable. We loved it.

Such a nice facility - it has a nice gym, pool, and hot tub and is close to Ana Maria Island beaches. The room was spacious and clean. I also left some clothing in my room when I checked out and the team was able to find it for me and coordinate a return!

The pool area didn't appear to be kept up very much. The hallway to our room was kind of smelly. Plus it was kinf of awkward walking past all the worker areas to our room. Will all of the doors open and peaple working it felt pff.

I enjoyed my stay here. Will definitely choose Magnuson again. The only issues I had was that the pool was down and I didn't know about the $100 deposit. But overall the visit was great

They change the towels and clean the room daily while you stay the property is clean from outside the pool is super clean

great breakfast, great heated pool and spa, great location, not far from beaches and plenty of places to ride bicycle

We stayed at the Hotel for a month in March-April 2016. If you have seen the movie mentioned in the title of this review you might appreciate the connection. Overall, the M-Star appears to be run on a tight budget and as a result some amenities and updates need attention. The folks that run the place were really great, friendly and very accommodating. A lot of the review rating is for them. If there is something you want or need just mention it to the manager or staff, but you do need to ask. If staying multiple nights, mention at the desk if you want the bed linen changed every day. The rooms we stayed in were comfy and clean. The bathtub/shower and toilet area are behind a closed door. The wash basin, mirror etc. for shaving, makeup etc. are in an open space that is part of the sleeping accommodations. There is a small refrig and a microwave in the room. The breakfast area is small (3 tables) and offers coffee, tea, fruit, cold cereal, packaged pastries and oatmeal. With reference to the movie, we thought the pool was quite uniquely situated as were the palm trees in the rear of the complex. The hotel is conveniently located right on a well traveled road that has easy access to all of the downtown Bradenton malls, restaurants etc. We would certainly consider staying there again on our next trip to Bradenton.

We stayed 2 nights during the tropical storm, non smoking double room. Very clean, didn't smell muggy like some motels. Didn't see any bugs. Staff is very accommodating and welcoming. Beds and bedding were super comfortable. Even had a little coffee maker with a little packet of coffee. Always felt very safe. I've stayed there before and they always remember me.

Very quick check in and out. Stayed 2 night, asked for new sheets second day and they had someone come in and clean whole room over again plus new sheets for both beds, all we needed was the sheets but were so pleased with how above and beyond they went. Rooms were updated, very roomy and clean, didnt hear anyone around us so noce and quiet as well. Used laundry on site, worked great. The pool was warm and very enjoyabke for us and the kids. Have a tiki bar right next to the pool which is AWESOME. Racetrac located right nextdoor and only 15min to a good beach. Only downfall was current construction on the building following the last hurricane but didnt bother us much and wed definitely come back!

We were very impressed with Lantern Inn and Suites for the price. Our room was a nice size, clean, had comfortable beds, and seemed recently renovated. The pool was kept clean as were the washers and dryers (I had just stayed in a hotel in a different town that had some that left stuff all over my clothes so it is the first thing I noticed here). I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sarasota.

They cleaned our room every day! Made our bed, emptied trash cans, and gave us new towels!! It was so nice to come back each evening to a tidied room!! The bed was comfortable and even though it’s close to the busy road, it was nice and quiet! The tiki bar and pool is a rare find at a hotel like this and definitely so much fun!!

The staff was excellent! The room was very nice and very quiet! The bed and the pillows were the great! The pool was nice although the weather wasn’t warm enough for us to go in. The Tiki bar was a nice added bonus. We were there on St. Patrick’s Day so it was hopping. We had a great time!

Everything was terrific! The staff is friendly and efficient and definitely believe in service with a smile! There is a great tiki bar out front that the local people come and enjoy. The location was pretty central and just minutes from the airport, waterfront, and the center of town. The heated pool was icing on the cake!
