Stayed here several times and management went out of their way to provide a room close to entrance for my partner who was ill. The manager and a staff member helped us with our bags and our wheelchair. We felt that we had a friend there during a trying time and we greatly appreciated their help. less

my wife and i stayed at the best western plus gateway cortez avenue bradenton, florida for 5 days. OUTSTANDING!! we had high expectations because of the good reviews i had read on tripadvisor and booking.com. we have been staying alot in bradenton/sarasota on our last 4 trips to florida. the best western was by far the BEST. first, the location is great; near 41/tamiami trail and 2-3 miles(?) from our favorite beach coquina on bradenton beach. many restaurants within 10 minutes; walmart toward the beach; gas stations; banks, etc. also, close to bradenton/sarasota airport, and only 15 minutes from downtown sarasota, maybe 20 minutes to st. armands circle, 30 minutes to siesta key beach, 12 minutes to ringling, and 15 minutes to marie selby gardens. the hotel is right behind a cracker barrel restaurant. the hotel is relatively new; the manager told me 10 years old. really clean and well maintained outside parking and landscaping, nice area to pull-up to unload car. plenty of parking. pool is very clean, with tables and chairs. the lobby is nice, also serves as the breakfast area. the staff were very welcoming, especially manager and cleaning staff. we always slept late, and maids were always able to make-up/clean our room. the room with 2 comfortable queen beds was medium size, with blackout shades, plenty of pillows, microwave, coffee maker, fridge. the internet worked fast, and easily connected. our room was a handicap room, so bathroom was alittle bigger(room # 214). breakfast was very, very good. the usual carton scramble eggs were ok. sausage patties very good. biscuits and sausage gravy. YIPPEE!! i love the SOUTH. other cold cereal, milk, grits, fruit, o/j ok. very good coffee. one of my favorites, was there was ALWAYS ice tea, ice water with lemon, and coffee available during non-breakfast hours. very thoughtful, and very appreciated. i would recommend the best western plus gateway bradenton, florida!! for sure. looking forward to staying here again. the price, we paid $106 during the week and $124(?) on the weekend days. less

One important reason to select Best Western is knowing that you will receive great customer service and that is true at this Best Western. All staff, and especially manager Chris Sears, were attentive to our needs. Breakfast was well supplied with a nice variety, rooms were comfortable and the location was suitable for our travel plans. less

I recently checked into the Best Western Plus/Gateway Hotel in Bradenton, Florida on Cortez Rd. At check in Carla and Chris were smiling and eager to help me! They had my keys ready for my room and told me about restaurants in the area if I was wanting to dine out. The house keepers, Zach and Maite made sure my room was cleaned and always asked if there was anything I needed to give them a call. The following morning I went down for breakfast where Mary was making sure that everything was in order and coffee was ready. My room was comfortable and quite. Upon check out I meet the owner PD and made sure that I got the names of everyone that had made my stay the very best! Above and beyond customer service! Thank you all!
