We had a wonderful stay at the Marriott in Bradenton. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. What truly stood out was the exceptional service—especially from the manager Delaney I think its his Name, who was attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect during our stay. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and professional care. Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!

Positive things first: * Rayana ("Ray-Ray") at the front desk is one of the most pleasant & happy persons I have ever met! She was one of the highlights (along with Mattison's across the street), and the other Courtyard staff members we interacted with were friendly and accommodating. * Another plus was the Lobby - great vibe - clean, inviting, bistro/bar, lots of comfy furniture & decor...looked modern and renovated. * The garden area is designed beautifully, but time is taking its toll on the pavers, steps, tiles, fountain, etc. * The gym on the 3rd floor seemed renovated, lots of nice equipment. * Location is nice - right on the Bradenton Riverwalk and next door to Mattison's restaurant, which I highly recommend! Now for the not-so-great things: * Although I am a low-ranking Bonvoy member, they didn't accommodate my simple request for the highest floor with a nice view (the hotel was nowhere near full at check-in, and I put the request in when I made my reservation) so we got a view of the parking lot and dumpster, but luckily lots of tall beautiful trees at eye-level. * The room: very clean, except for the pieces of broken tile along the shower wall laying on the floor, furniture seemed old and outdated, shower needs updated (yellowed grout, old tile). * The pool seemed clean but while wading in it, a large clump of hair floated by, and the circulation into the drains seemed slow...lots of stuff floating on the top. * Hot tub needs resurfaced or painted...was stained and yellowed, not inviting. * The connecting building facing the riverfront outside of the pool area looks abandoned (apparently was a nightclub/lounge) the windows to the door were broken and the doors locked but open enough for critters to get in. *No local guidebook or hotel info guide in the room. * No conditioner and body wash in the shower pump containers, shampoo was watered down. * Scarce amenities in bathroom - only 2 small bottles of body wash, 1 makeup remover cloth, 1 tiny bar of soap, no lotion. * The tv kept auto-turning off after a certain amount of time and the "click ok" option never worked, also the streaming went in and out...had to keep resetting Netflix. * No blankets on the beds or extra blankets provided, only a thin duvet on the beds (we had to call the front desk/housekeeping to request blankets). In summary, we were disappointed in this property as we had expected it to be of higher standards being a Marriott, with Courtyard having consistent good ratings over the years. This property is getting close to being a run-down motel. I imagine the potential of the old lounge being a new riverfront restaurant, renovations and updates to the garden and pool area, rooms updated. Hopefully the friendly staff will stick around!

“Expected More”

Good location. Room was dated and needs a refresh. Was disappointed a Titanium guest couldn’t get a complimentary bottle of water.
