Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The location is great and the staff is very nice. We stayed on the first floor, where you have to pass by the rundown staff break room and the laundry. The dark and dank smelly hallway takes you to a room that needs a major overhaul. The air seemed to work loudly when it wanted to. Around the back of the hotel is what looks to be an abandoned restaurant, so you don’t exactly feel comfortable walking past it in the dark going to the restaurant across the street. This is purely a hotel for convenience. Definitely not a place to stay a few nights for fun.

Overall the hotel is okay. The lobby is nice but the rest of the hotel needs upgrades and new carpeting. We stayed one night on the 2nd floor but the carpet smelled terrible and the view obstructed to see the Mantee River. The pillows were a bit too fluffy! They moved us to the 5th floor with good views the rest of our stay. Thank you! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My husband loved that he could get his favorite coffee Americano each morning. The breakfast flatbread was amazing & big and after 5pm food offered was also very good like wings, flatbread pizza and burgers. I loved walking in the morning along the Riverwalk front. I would stay again.

We stayed Friday night. When I made the reservation I was told they only had a king room with a balcony and the price was close to $400 a night. Not that I wanted to spend that much money, but I said we would take it. Well the balcony was a 12inch cement slab on the 1st floor overlooking the parking lot with a door that did not even open. The room was ok, definitely not worth what I paid. The shower liner was black on the bottom and the cabinet in the bathroom was dusty. Then they do not even provide complementary coffee in the morning, it cost me another $9 for 2 cups of starbucks.

Family 'stay-cation' overnight on Bradenton's Riverwalk. Booked a King bed with a Sofa bed and view of the Riverwalk. We let our son decide which floor we should stay on and he chose the highest level, which is the 5th floor. Our room was quite spacious and the view of the Manatee River and Riverwalk was beautiful and panoramic. Yet the King Bed won me over. The sheets are very smooth, indicating high thread count, which made for fabulous sleep quality on this enormous and extremely comfortable bed. If you desire quality sleep and a noise-free environment, book a room on the far north end of the hotel, which is the Riverwalk view. Yes, this hotel is showing its age, and there were a few things that weren't 100%, but the sleep quality and attentiveness of the staff made up for it.

While this is an older hotel, (paint on paint) we found the location was great, on the water walk, great pool and hot tube. Staff could not be any more pleasant and accommodating. We used the suite with two adults and 3 children. Sofa bed not bad (its a sofa bed). two queen were comfortable. We loved it.

My husband and I came to this hotel because it was near Manatee Memorial Hospital. I was going to have a procedure at the hospital. So, we stayed two nights because the first day I was going to have preop testing and the second day I was going to have the procedure. This hotel is great for party animals that do not require much sleep. But we were there to get a good night's sleep before my procedure. Unfortunately, neither night did we get a good night's sleep. There were party animals in the room next to our room, plus there were noisy people outside near our room. And if that was not enough the air conditioning unit is extremely loud. We were told it would be repaired, but that was a lie it did not get repaired. We were told that the second night there would be no party animals in the room next to us. That was another lie. I need to come back in May for another procedure at the hospital. We have reservations at the Hampton Inn for a little less and they provide hot breakfast. I have read the reviews of the Hampton Inn and are confident our stay will be more pleasant than this awful Marriott.

Dear patriciasL373TL, I recognize your time is valuable and appreciate the feedback you have provided. Receiving warm and friendly service from our staff sets the tone for a great stay. This was not your experience, and I sincerely apologize for failing to meet your expectations.

Basic hotel but very clean a good representation of a Courtyard Marriott. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Great Starbucks coffee and good breakfast food. No restaurant on site but restaurants within walking distance on the Riverfront. Stayed for 4 nights would recommend

The hotel is average. The rooms need updating. The chair in our room had bleach stains which leads me to believe something unsanitary was cleaned. Chair should have been thrown away. They put us in a handicap room which we didn’t need but it has more room. The shower was a walk in so with every shower taken the bathroom floor was soaked.

I came to the Courtyard Bradenton on 1/20/23 and I stayed 4 nights. I found the room to be spotless, the pool and patio areas were lovely and relaxing. My room had nice amenities and was very comfortable. The cafe in the lobby was very convenient. Every member of the staff that I met were wonderful. They all were helpful and very professional. My room was very quiet. I stayed on the first floor. I had no idea that there were lots of soccer kids there for a tournament until I opened my door in the morning. My next 3 nights were equally quiet. It lightened my heart to see so many happy kids My trip was for a sad reason, my brother fell ill, and I stayed at Lakewood Medical Center with him until he passed. I needed a close place to stay afterwards to take care of matters. I am so grateful for the kindness of the staff and very appreciative of the hospital discount. Thank you, Leslee Siano

OMG!!! I was so excited to see "PET FRIENDLY" in the amenities list. So I called to double check and I was informed that there is a ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR, NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT!!!! Clearly not pet owner friendly. You want to put a hold on my debit card in case she eats the bed, that's fine but 150 bucks because she's with me?? I can get her her own room for that much!!
