Bentley's Boutique Hotel, BW Premier Collection

We spent a week at this hotel with our two young adult daughters. We loved this place. It's near lots of shopping, beaches and many great restaurants. Sarasota is 5-10 minutes to the north and Nokomis/Venice is 5 minutes to the south. The pool was warm and there were plenty of lounge chairs and tables. The entire hotel was very clean, staff was great and the price was right. There's plenty of off street parking, the rooms have small fridges and hair dryers, very comfortable beds, pillows and linens. Lots of closet and dresser space for clothing, water pressure was great, and the AC worked well. The free breakfast is pretty good and overall this hotel is great! The day we left we spoke with the front desk and had questions about pool side suites. She took the time to give us a tour of two rooms, very thoughtful and helpful. we will definitely come back. Constructive feedback: would be nice if the rooms had a microwave Beds are double, would be nice to have king size or at least queen (but are very comfortable) we had four people in our room but only got 3 towels consistently, even after requesting for 4 every morning the blinds are white and let in the sun very early in the morning the breakfast is decent but the eggs seem to be from powder (?) and the bacon was microwave the tiki bar was fun but the drinks are too expensive. $25 for two pina coladas including tip. too much. Food was also a bit expensive for what you get, but tasted good. We heard some of the rooms had a sign in the bathroom listing the cost to replace items (linens, etc) if they went missing. unnecessary and tacky We thought the staff was great and we are planning to return to this great hotel again! less

I stayed here 3/13 - 3/17. The price was a little high for the value. The check in process was ok but the staff needs a lesson on customer relations. The lady was miserable. The room was a good size and it was decent. The bed linens had tiny holes. The refrigerator was good and storage was good. The shower had mold on the grout. The shower drain was was running very slow (Fixed) but every time you took a shower here was a huge puddle on the floor. That took two towels to mop up. It was not fixed. It did include breakfast which was in a small room. it was in a small room and with the CO19 was a tight space. The pool area was decent. less

I really liked this property because it took me back to an old Florida feel with modern amenities. I was presently surprised by the room...it was very clean, the shower was awesome and the bed was very comfortable. What more do you need from a Florida vacation. The proximity to beautiful Nokomis Beach was a major plus. Would definitely stay here again...after the Coronavirus emergency is over less

We were very happy with this hotel overall. It was a bit far from family which was inconvenient, but not the fault of the facility. It was very clean, nicely updated rooms and decor, comfortable beds, great WiFi, and a decent pool area with tiki bar. We had to unexpectedly leave early and staff was very accommodating. There are many stores close by including Walmart. less

We arrived at the property around 5:45 PM, took some photos of the entrance and then went in to find some food and drinks prior to our 7:00 PM show time. Their entrance makes you feel special and they seem to take pride in first appearances. We found a bar and dining area just inside the doors plus we found a nice Tiki bar and serving area out back next to the pool. We selected that outside area and ordered drinks and dinner. Their menu photographs are poor, blurred and not representative of a high class establishment (I suggest they upgrade those ASAP). I had beef tacos - delicious; my wife had a hamburger and fries - excellent choice (their fries were unique, you have to try them). But to our ultimate delight was the bartender out back, Leo. His customer service was fantastic and his drinks were excellent. We would recommend this hotel for a visit and especially drink service from Leo. The comedy show ($15 per person) was really fun too, they are working at making it a destination hotel with shows every other week. less
