Family Inn

First, the charged my card before I ever got there. They charged the full amount. I thought it was weird because no one’s ever done that before. The front desk lady was rude and couldn’t look like she hated her life more. There was so many signs and little rules all over the plastic hanging between you and front desk. Most importantly being that you have to call them 5 minutes before you check out so they can come up to the room and look at it. By the way, there is no phone in the rooms. Thankfully, the front desk person in the morning was very nice and told me not to worry about it. I think he was the owner. We got a physical key and it didn’t lock the deadbolt, just the handle. The door locking mechanism was wobbly and had definitely been kicked in before. Didn’t feel very safe there,

the door looked like it had been kicked in it was covered with paper. the window did not have a curtain, the room did not have a phone, towels,shampoo,or blow dryer. the fire alarn was not there the wires were all out, the ac would not turn off, no coffee maker. the mini fridge froze everything..nothing we ordered online to eat delivered there. under the bed looked like they haven't cleaned im months..tje staff was friendly and the beds were very comfortable. they knocked on the door to say we get 10$ off if we stay another night. it was definitely not worth $104 a night

I was forced to stay at the Family Inn as a result of poor upkeep and planning on the part of the hotel across the street. That was a whole different review and not good. I paid $95 for one night for a double room at the last minute. The room was pretty shambolic. The shower did not drain, the toilet did not flush properly, the bed was not comfortable at all. Towels were in need of replacement as they were rough and threadbare. The manager was nice enough although the $10 key deposit should have told me what kind of place I was staying at. I guess for last minute at least I had a room. Would not stay there out of choice.

Overall I must say this is a very nice m management is awful. I work in Sarasota so I hop from otel to hotel finding the best place available at the time. My first visit there was pleasant except for the fact that that their claim to offer free wifi only applies to the Siesta Inn side of the place. Cynthia argued with me that I was not putting in the password correctly. I showed her that I was indeed connected to their wifi but when I walked to the Family Inn side of the motel it wasn't in range and would automatically disconnect. She refused to believe that I knew what I was talking about and even walked with me and when she saw it disconnect she said it was my phone. Anyone who knows about Wi-Fi knows how that works. I tried to explain to her but to no avail. She was willing to o

The price was as close to right as I could find on line, but as they say, you get whet you pay for. With a name like Family Inn I expected a small motel, but gee whiz. At check in access to reservations was unavailable. After we went to our room we found a bed that looked like one of Ringling's elephants has flopped on it, but the television worked. A move next door produced an acceptable bed but the television didn't work without a lot of coaxing. Wi-fi? Forget about it! Recently redone floors looked great. Bathroom showed signs of recent redo, but lacked outlets for hair dryer, shaver, etc. Bathroom door had hole punched in it. Wall behind front door busted through by inside knob. And on and on. Nice folks, though.
