Bentley’s Boutique Hotel

Great hotel. Very good service, pool and tiki bar are awesome. Some confusion about the «complimentary breakfast «, evidently you have to pay more for your room which was a let down, however it forced us to find the Breakfast Cottage down the road which was awesome. Overall I will stay there again it is not in a crowded tourist area yet convenient to everything.

Weren’t sure if what we saw on line would be what we got! It went beyond our expectations! Newly renovated in a hip modern style! The free breakfast is an actual «real» breakfast in the restaurant! You get a card at check in for each person per day that gives you 4 different breakfast choices! Eggs, bacon & toast or pancakes or waffles or oatmeal& coffee & juice included!

My girlfriends and I stayed here for a girls weekend and I must say… It was fabulous!
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are beautiful and clean! The pool was amazing especially at night. If you stay in the back THE VIRAGE you get free breakfast and it was delicious and large. Our waitress was the sweetest lady. Across the street is a national park so we went kayaking. It was only $ 10.70 an hour! I give this place 5 stars! I would definitely recommend to stay here!

Very cute hotel! I love the modern décor. The room was CLEAN (major priority for me!). The bed & pillows were very comfortable. We stayed 2 nights, for a mini anniversary get away. We did not eat at the restaurant or go to the nightclub. I would definitely recommend Bentley’s & will stay there again if I’m in the area.

We found this hotel on Hotwire while we were stopped for dinner on our way down to Venice for the night. It has a great location and is away from a lot of the big tourist resorts. We received a great last minute price considering what we were seeing earlier for this hotel on other sites. Checking in was a breeze and welcoming. The hotel itself seems like a older hotel that’s been updated. The rooms are very modern and the bathrooms are huge with a roomy walk-​in shower. We got in late and were unable to take advantage of the pool and tiki bar. We ended up going to the restaurant inside the hotel for a drink after getting settled. The restaurant and bar stays open until around midnight and serve food all the way until closing. Overall the experience here was a good one. The only downside was the room was very humid and you had to have the temperature extremely cold to battle the dampness in the air. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay here again. Now onto the beach!

I can’t say anything bad about this place. Stood here last night and I would come back. Rooms were very modern and clean. The bathroom is HUGE and very nice with a big glass walk in showered. Free wifi and free breakfast in the morning. I didn’t get the pancakes or french toast but I saw them go by me and there was a lot of food and they both looked good. I can’t complain about my breakfast because then again it was free.

What a sweet hidden gem.
My boyfriend and I stayed at Bentley’s Boutique Hotel last April for one night on a getaway to Venice. We had booked the hotel using Groupon, so the rate was very reasonable. I’m not sure what their regular rates are, but I can tell you: they are probably worth it.
The hotel looks very 80s, but it’s definitely been renovated inside… for the better! The hotel room was beautiful. There isn’t a much view outside (no balcony or anything) but it didn’t matter to us. We booked a room with a king sized bed. It was so comfy and clean. There is a huge mirror on the wall next to the bed, which is such an interesting touch. The bathroom was beautiful. The shower was completely glass. Amazing. Definitely not expecting that.
There is a pool outside for guests to enjoy. It was very busy when we stopped by, but it was nice to see people enjoying themselves out to the pool. I think it would be fun to stop by on a hot day when it’s too hot to be on the beach.
Check in and out was totally easy. It was a pleasure staying here and we would definitely do it again.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Definitely not in the tourist area of Siesta, which is definitely a plus. The room prices are high, but the atmosphere and décor of the hotel deserve it. The service is excellent and the food exquisite. Also I have to stress that the pool area and the Tiki Bar are beautiful. The Cabanas are super posh and you can spend all day enjoying the beautiful pool area. I am doing a separate review for the Tiki Bar, We were given a great room with views to the pool. Their bed linens are very classy and the bed super comfortable. Very attentive service. Evidently they are continuously renovating and the pool furniture looked like it had been changed recently. Will come back here definitely.
PS.They have a super cool nightclub that was closed. I was craving some trance, or techno or something…

Great little hotel. a little off the beaten path. ½ way between Nokomis Beach and Siesta Key on a busy road so there’s no walking to and from other places.
Very well done renovation. Had that 80s feel with modern appointments. Tiki bar was ok for an end of the night drink or if you just wanted time to yourselves (as a couple)… not super «fun.»
The pool and lounge area was AWESOME. The pool water temp was perfect and thwre were plenty of places to sit and different options.

This was one of the worst hotels I have stayed at. Walking in, the décor is dated and the odor is overwhelming. The restaurant closes early and both service and cleanliness were subpar. The rooms look like a motel and again the Febreeze type of odor is present. There are only blinds in the rooms and most of the items in the room, like phone/​tv/​lights don’t work. The gym equipment didn’t work either.

Stayed here while visiting relatives in the area. The room was Clean with a little porch facing the pool area. The staff was friendly and very helpful when we realized we left some coats in the closet after we’d checked out. We would definitely stay here again.

I stayed here for Thanksgiving weekend 2015. The staff at check-​in Carolyn and an older gentleman were extremely nice and helpful. The room was nice and had some modern amenities that we enjoyed including soft close drawers and the shower. The bed was super comfortable and made for a good night’s sleep. The only issues I had were the TV which only got about 5 channels of nonsense and the breakfast which was only cold cereal and muffins/​danishes. I checked in with Unilocal and got a 10% discount though :)

The room smelled and had a weird feel to it. I felt like I was staying in a room at a family members house that I didn’t get along with. Oddly decorated, maybe 10 tv channels, nothing nearby, slow WiFi, bar closes before 9. I wouldn’t stay again.

I don’t think the people that have reviewed this place actually stayed here. Or they don’t have any concept of what a «nice» or «luxury» hotel is. Bentley’s isn’t even close. The highlights of my stay: the first room we stayed in smelled like wet dog and mildew. There were more than 10 flies in the bathroom that multiplied like bunnies. The restaurant didn’t serve us after 20 minutes of sitting there STARING at the waitresses. There were only blinds in the room. There were very few channels to chose from on the TV.
I will definitely not be returning. You guys who think this place is amazing, need to up your standards.
I’m updating this because when we checked out, we asked her about the Unilocal discount and was confused and didn’t know what we were talking about. When I showed it to her, she said she had no idea and would have to call the manager. She didn’t call the manager, but magically remembered you can only use it if you book through the hotel.

The room itself is nice and very clean. However, the service from the front desk was not courteous at all. They didn’t even look at the coupon from Unilocal before saying they wouldn’t accept it. But even more than that, asking them a question about anything received a very minimum and curt response. It also turns out that unless you stay at the Virage building you are not entitled to the continental breakfast and instead can pay 7.99 for one breakfast item (such as a sandwich or omelet) and then you pay extra for any additional items like juice.

Visitng from Orlando. This hotel was great. Modern look. Everything is clean. The complimentary breakfast was very great. Large portions.
The only negative was the limited amount of channels. ¹⁶⁄₂₀ channels mainly news type of channels And non HD as well.
But other than that great atmosphere

We had a great getaway weekend at Bentley’s. The trick is to stay at Bentley’s proper (NOT the weird Virage building in back) and pay the extra few bucks for a ground floor room with a patio opening onto the pool area. We went to Total Wine, stocked up the fridge, and had an amazing pool party weekend. The pool was definitely the focal point of our stay. If you are super picky about other amenities (e.g. restaurant, fitness center), you might have a lower opinion.
As other reviewers mentioned, the rooms do not have blackout curtains. We also noticed that the shower was not really clean. Other than that, the room was comfortable. Our patio neighbors were friendly, and the tiki bar provided a festive atmosphere.
There were some oddities with the service. When we checked in, the front desk clerk said there was a free continental breakfast included. When we came down for breakfast, a woman working at Morgan’s Restaurant told us the free breakfast was in the Virage building. However, the Virage was deserted, no food or staff in sight. The front desk gave us free breakfast vouchers for Morgan’s as a result of this mix-​up. We used those the following day, and found the breakfast to be tasty but slow. Most importantly, it was free since we had those vouchers:).
We tried Morgan’s prime rib for dinner at the recommendation of another guest. It was okay, not amazing. There was live music (piano) and we had good service from Kent the waiter.
Overall, we had a relaxing tropical getaway and would definitely come back for a ground-​level poolside room.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The service was very pleasant. We booked our stay on
based on reviews and its proximity to siesta key. We actually hooked a room at their hotel behind the main one but at check in we were told we’d be upgraded to the Bentley hotel.
The room was nicely decorated. All that was missing was better cable and a microwave, what good is a fridge for food without a microwave to heat it up? The TV received about 10 channels and none were very not sharp images.
The room offers organic toiletries which I loved very much. I asked for a couple more since it worked well with my eczema and they gladly gave it to me.
The complimentary breakfast was awesome, far better than the ones we received at other hotels during this vacation. Even if we had to pay for the breakfast it’d be worth it. Only $ 6.99 per person and they were big portion sizes.
I’m excited to visit this area again someday and stay here.

I love this hotel!
Neat, clean with good stuff.
We stayed there for 4 nights and it was great!
Our room was on a first floor with a pool view and balcony.
The pool was good and deep;
Tiki bar was nice (the most we liked hot dogs and brownies);
Room was fresh and comfy (only one thing was missing is microwave in the room, but it’s was in the adjacent building);
Breakfast was fine (only bagels were little hard, but it was the best fresh orange juice I’ve ever tasted).
So we were happy staying in Bentleys hotel!

Stayed here over the weekend of August 2^nd, 2014. Found the hotel on Orbitz, which is where I would start for bottom-​basement prices. I think we got in for something like $ 110 per night.
For the quality of the room, facilities, and location, this was a great price. The whole place, rooms and all, is completely updated and very modern. The pool was nice as well, though it got very crowded in the evening. Drinks at the Tiki were good, but a little pricey at $ 7 apiece. I left here with very little to complain about.
There is something very British going on here. Definitely heard some Birmingham accents, which is always a delight.
As for the location, that is probably the main drawback. It’s not quite on the beach, but close. Not quite in town, but close. I will gladly take an off-​the-​beach hotel with great facilities and a good price.
Free breakfast. It was good, not mind-​blowing; a step up from continental, with hard boiled eggs and various juices as well as your usual offerings.
For the price, I would definitely stay here again and recommend Bentley’s most highly.
