Ratings and Reviews of Courtyard by Marriott Sarasota at University Town Center

9.0 user rating
  • Excellent hotel! I stayed in many others in that city and this was by far the best. The beds were perfect, not too firm, not too soft. The rooms were spacious and in good condition. The patio at the back has view on a small pawn with has an alligator and turtles (totally safe). The wildlife is far below the top deck and children don't risk anything. But it is nice to see gators for tourists. The staff was also very friendly and the Internet was fast! The property is right next to many fast foods (you can walk to some of them) and shopping center.
  • Excellent recently rebuilt hotel. Huge shopping and dining options close by. Rooms are spacious, modern, clean— with mini- frig, microwave and bar sink. Excellent fitness center!
  • All employees were awesome! We stayed the for 20 days and they treated us like family. Recommend this hotel for people with pets.
