Regency Inn & Suites Sarasota

At first glance the rooms seem a little dated, in reality the furnishings are what would now be considered retro. It's actually what I grew up with being 68. I had been moving from one hotel to another and decided to stay 2 nights. The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. I'm moving here and looking for long term housing and was able to get a lot done.

My husband and I really liked the motel. Very comfortable, with all the essentials and quiet even though it's close to a main street. The price is very good. The cleaning staff were very friendly. The check out staff were very efficient and nice. We got what we paid for and it was very reasonable

When arrived in the sketchy neighborhood I had a gut feeling I was going to regret making reservations here. At check in the guy was unfriendly asked me if I had pets or smoked I said no. He mustn't believed me he asked 2 more times I said no pets & I haven't taken up smoking yet! Now I was annoyed. Got into the room the stench of something was so strong. Immediately checked for bed bugs ...didnt see any but the mattress wasnt in a mattress case, the bed spread had a bunch of stains on it. The toilet ran all night. Didn't use the toilet til morning and it didnt work. Bathroom sink you had to pull out the drain thing for water to go down and it had someone's hair stuck to it. Bathroom was full of mildew... GROSS. Definitely overpriced.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I booked two family members who were traveling down from Ohio two separate rooms based on "good" reviews from Expedia. When they arrived after driving all day from Ohio, I was informed that they found bedbugs in the corner of the mattress and both rooms smelled of mildew. The second room had a bare light switch exposed in the bathroom, and the toilet would not flush. After speaking with the front desk, my family members were told they would be refunded, since they were not comfortable staying there and had to go to a different hotel up the street. My brother was told the refund would appear in a couple of days. No refund was ever issued. Expedia was also no help and said the property refused to refund the rooms. $800 wasted because this hotel refused a refund on ro

The problem that I have with Regency Inn, they didn’t return my deposit. My stay was less than 24 hours, no damage was done to the property and they still chose to keep my deposit. I called the property manager, who was reluctant to give his name. He asked me my name, never ask the room number. He told me over the phone that my deposit was returned, I checked out on 12/26 but the deposit charge was posted for 12/25. I have proof that my deposit was never returned. Is the economy that bad where businesses had to commit fraud? Ridiculous, it’s not about the money but the principle. People work too hard to be cheated and lied too.
