Top hotels in Bayou Oaks
Hyatt Place Sarasota/Bradenton Airport
Upon entering, I was greeted, staff was always very friendly. Breakfast area kept clean and stocked all thru breakfast hours. My only con is, when house keeping came in, fresh towels given, etc, but the bed was not made. Also, the towels were a bit hard and scratchy.
