Fairfield Inn and Suites-Lakewood Ranch

We decided to do a spare of the moment trip to explore Sarasota and wound up staying overnight at the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott. They claim to be pet friendly Yeah. For $ 75. Almost as much as the room!!! The hotel is pretty and clean the room was ok. BUT the mattress was hard and because we had our small dog with us we were put on the ground floor. OK fine
The window had only sheers which meant anyone walking from their car could see right in our room (I checked) and the parking lot light could not be closed off so it lit up our room all night. Won’t stay here again
Drury Inns are still the best and only charge $ 15 more for your pet

Everyone is super friendly and the establishment is very clean. They are very prompt about breakfast, so don’t be late! There is a business area in the lobby, so if you find yourself in need of doing stuff on there it’s a good, quiet area.
Beds are comfy and a good size. My only con is that the AC sometimes doesn’t cool the room enough so it becomes a bit humid, but all-​in-​all the rooms are spotless. Comes equipped with all the essential basics and if you need more towels, the front desk is very quick to deliver.
Hotel is located in a very good area: surrounded by tons of restaurants, a Publix supermarket, Super Target, and a fairly large mall. Is a quick drive away from Siesta Key and St. Armands Key. Would recommend this hotel to anyone coming this way.

Excellent service. Nice amenities. Dave at the front desk is very helpful and accommodating. Good location too, central to restaurants and shopping.

I’ve been here twice this year, the staff is always very friendly and helpful. Everything is kept and clean, every morning they have hot/​cold breakfast that is great (along with a selection of steaming hot coffee, hot water for tea and hot chocolate provided as well). You can make your own waffles! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a relaxing stay away from home. Its at a great location, Another Broken Egg Café, Chili’s and even Publix are just a short walk away. The pool is great for the kids and the whirlpool is a nice spot for the adults. Lynn is the BEST, so warm and helpful. She’s sure to brighten your day :)

Great hotel! The rooms here are a bit smaller, only 1 television in the room (I know, I know, how many television’s can you really watch at once?) but the rooms are clean and comfy which is the main thing. I had no microwave, but a mini fridge
Typical Marriott layout and set up. Amenities include a business center, gym, outdoor pool, coffee and tea in the lobby area and a hot/​cold breakfast in the A.M.
Friendly staff and a very relaxing atmosphere. The Sarasota airport is about 8 miles away and there are a few restaurants that are a walking distance from the hotel. One word of caution, this is also a convention and meeting center. If you want peace and quiet, try not to book your rooms on the 1^st floor. It could get noisy in the A.M.

Excellent hotel… its been a while since i have been in such a decent hotel. With great quiet rooms. The breakfast its awesome make sure to try the waffles with chocolate chips. Definitely will come again!

Great customer service. Very clean and nice rooms. Lynn at the front desk is beyond helpful. I got to the hotel before check in, my room was not ready and she helped in finding another one for me so I didn’t have to wait. Very friendly. Would recommend to anyone.

Pretty standard as far as a Fairfield Inn goes. The breakfast included potatoes, which was a nice addition. It’s located next to a Publix shopping center filled with plenty of places to eat. The lobby and rooms were spotless.
