West Samoset Hotels, Bradenton

"No ocean or beach view. The mini fridge was actually a wine fridge. The room was very clean, cute and comfortable. All my interactions were via text, even checking in, which to me was great! I would absolutely stay there again. There was a very short walk to the beach. "

"Great value"

"So clean, 10 mins from the beach loved the amenities "

"No issues at all, the room was clean and the air conditioning was great. Staff was amazing! "

"we had an amazing experience, such a gem! the property was really well maintained & the staff was incredibly kind. it was the perfect beach getaway! photos don’t do it justice. only thing I would critique was the beds could have been comfier, but it wouldn’t prevent me from coming back for the price we paid. "

"Fun retro"

"So and so "

"Never again. They have a parking fee in little ole Palmetto, FL. This is a town that doesn’t even charge for street parking! The resort fee is a joke. I’ve seen management reply and try to defend this resort fee to other reviewers, I don’t buy it. The hotel is not on the ocean and not on the River. They claim to supply fishing poles. For the cost of the rooms, this should never have been added. I will never be back and will let everyone we know about these extra fees. Shame on the owners of this hotel. When I checked to see if all Marriott’s charged resort fees, I got this response from Google. No, not all Marriott hotels charge a resort fee. Only a minority of the over 8,300 properties—fewer than 300—levy these fees, which are often called "destination" or "amenity" fees. Mandatory resort fees, ranging from daily, are generally found at leisure-focused resorts, not standard business hotels."

"Not much of a breakfast. Cheap and not cheerful. The coffee is awful. I love a coffee in the morning but this was hot water, well warm, with a few sprinkles of coffee. They run out of hot water to make tea and Swiss Miss hit chocolate mix. Don’t make your decision on their fake breakfast. Pool bar staff absolutely delightful. "
