Bayshore Gardens Hotels, Bradenton

"Great location near the causeway and access to a free shuttle to the beach. "

"Super clean room, thoughtful decorations, courteous and welcoming staff, and delicious free cookies. A 5-star rating is well-deserved."

"It was great! It was comfy and had everything I need! Would come back and stay again when in town"

"Great place, very clean & close to everything! "

"The good: staff was over the top friendly, cheerful, helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The restaurant Drift is amazing. Bar is great, food is excellent, service above and beyond. The not so good: Beach chairs are reserved at 7am when they open but aren’t physically sat in until 10:30-11:00. We got to the beach at 8:30 and got chairs but not along the waters edge while we watched the chairs in front of us sitting empty for 3 hours. Doesn’t seem right or fair to me. Our room was immaculate however we were given a 1st floor standard room with no view - shame on me for using Hotels.com and not understanding which building my room was in. We were in the older building and it was noisy as the occupants above us were stomping around late into the night. Always ask for the NEW tower when booking a room. Our room was equipped with a full kitchen which was a surprise but of no use to us for a one night stay. It’s a fantastic family oriented resort and I highly recommend it for families with young children. "

"Nice cute hotel Julio at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. I will be back"

"We did get an upgrade to beach view which was the best thing at this resort. BEAUTIFUL VIEW! Not happy about: 1. had to pay for parking all days except Monday-Wednesday. 2. Sky Bar - bar and grille did not have friendly staff. 3. Room was very small but clean-comfortable double queens, no table, and bathroom was very small. 4. Coffee pot in room but no coffee station in lobby like most hotels/resorts, they wanted you to buy their very expensive coffee and high priced breakfast/lunch. 5. As for entertainment - there really was none. 6. Hot tubs were not hot or not working. Heated pool was closed off and on during our week stay. "
