Pros:

Location was good. Night staff were nice and tried to help the best they could with any issues.

Cons:

After check in and getting to the room the first time, walking in the room looked and felt great except the bathroom was dirty and full of hair everywhere and when I went to the office to try to get a broom or something to clean up the bathroom so that my son and I could at least take a shower, because it was nighttime, they said there was no broom or maintenance and she could only give me one hand towel to use. Then the housekeeping didn't even come to our room the 2nd or 3rd day we were there so I had to go buy my own broom and then again the front desk could only give me one clean towel.

The worst accommodation of our lives.
Pros:

Our stay at Days Inn Bradenton - Near the Gulf from May 23–25, 2026, was without question the worst hotel experience we have ever had.

From the moment we arrived, the experience was unacceptable. The hotel requires a security deposit, and according to the information clearly displayed on Booking.com at the time of reservation, this deposit should be returned before departure. However, more than a week after check-out, we have still not received our refund, nor have we been given any explanation regarding the delay.

We specifically booked and paid for a non-smoking room, yet the room assigned to us was overwhelmed by a strong cigarette odor. The smell was so intense that it made the room extremely uncomfortable and raised serious concerns about whether the non-smoking policy is actually enforced.

The problems did not stop there. The air conditioning barely worked, making it difficult to sleep comfortably. The television was also not functioning properly. Whenever we attempted to contact the front desk using the room phone, our calls went unanswered. It felt as though guest concerns were simply being ignored.

To make matters worse, basic toiletries that are commonly provided by even budget hotels were not available. Housekeeping staff knocked aggressively on our door around 8:00 a.m. while we were still asleep, creating an unnecessary disturbance and showing a complete lack of consideration for guests' privacy and rest.

On our very first night, our room key card was unexpectedly deactivated despite having paid for a two-night stay. We were forced to return to the front desk to have the issue resolved, causing additional inconvenience and frustration.

Overall, this property failed to meet even the most basic expectations of cleanliness, comfort, customer service, and professionalism. The combination of the unresolved security deposit, cigarette odor in a non-smoking room, malfunctioning amenities, poor communication, and repeated inconveniences made this an extremely disappointing experience.

I cannot recommend this hotel under any circumstances. I am genuinely surprised that major booking platforms continue to offer and promote a property that delivers such a poor guest experience. Travelers should carefully consider other options before booking here.

It is the worst accommodation experience I have ever had.
Pros:

No hay ningún espacio que se pueda destacar. Nada muy descuidado el espacio. They never return the security deposit and never explain why they keep the money.

Pros:

The room was clean, but had a slightly weird smell.

Cons:

There was no shampoo, soap, or conditioner in the bottles. They take a copy of your ID which I think is odd.
