Courtyard by Marriott

For business travelers, relocating professionals, or work crews on assignment in the Sarasota area, the Courtyard by Marriott Sarasota at University Town Center provides a reliable and comfortable home base. This hotel is designed to support productivity and relaxation during longer stays, blending modern amenities with a highly convenient location. It serves as an ideal solution for guests who need more than just a room, offering the space and features required to maintain a routine while away from home.

Each room and suite is thoughtfully appointed to accommodate the needs of a long-term guest. For meal preparation and storage, rooms include a partial kitchen setup with a mini-fridge and microwave, perfect for handling leftovers, snacks, and simple meals. A large, well-lit work desk with an ergonomic chair and easily accessible outlets ensures you have a dedicated and comfortable space for catching up on emails or finalizing reports. When the workday is done, you can unwind on plush bedding while streaming your favorite shows on the flat-screen TV.

The hotel’s on-site amenities are tailored for convenience and efficiency. The Bistro, located in the lobby, offers a great start to the day with Starbucks coffee and a variety of breakfast options, and it reopens in the evening for dinner and cocktails. This eliminates the need to find a restaurant after a long day on the job. A 24-hour fitness center allows you to stick to your workout schedule, while the outdoor pool and patio area provide a welcome space to relax. Crucially for any extended stay, the hotel features on-site guest laundry facilities, allowing you to pack light and keep your wardrobe fresh throughout your assignment.

The hotel’s location is one of its strongest assets. Positioned at the dynamic University Town Center and just off I-75, it offers direct access to corporate offices, business parks, and construction sites throughout the Sarasota and Bradenton region. The surrounding area is filled with dozens of restaurants, cafes, and retail stores, so everything from a team dinner to weekly groceries is just moments away.
