I was surprised to see this hotel changed flags, but the stay was just as good as the last time. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is fantastic - lots of good options. It is close to the beach which makes it even more attractive. The staff were very friendly at check in and check out. I'll be back... More

Unless you want to pay a fortune and stay directly on Siesta Key, there are no decent hotels within two or three miles inland from the island. I think that Best Western Plus is as good as it gets - which, that being said, isn't very good. The lobby of the hotel has been renovated and is nice and modern.... More

The hotel itself is fine for what it is. The breakfast was good. However the staff and General Manager are lacking in professionalism. We had in an incident where the housekeeping staff (presumably) used our bathroom and when we notifed the front desk/mgmt spoke with the General Manager who had absolutely no compassion for the situation. Was told there would... More

I actually was surprised at this hotel after reading some of the reviews..I went to see for myself on a business trip and I am so glad I stayed. The hotel staff upon and arrival and departure were excellent! I will stay again!! The breakfast surpised me! French toast & fresh fruit with all the other normal good stuff. I... More

We have just returned from a 7 night stay. We went to Sarasota for a family wedding and did a lot of research of hotels in the area prior to booking. The hotels close to the beach were very expensive but this hotel was very reasonable and in a very good location for all attractions including Siesta Key, and not... More

We stayed for 5 nights. Wanted to be near Siesta Key beaches but not pay too high a rate. This hotel was clean, staff was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. Kudos to the breakfast lady who worked so hard each day keeping everything replenished, fresh, and always with a smile. Access to restaurants, beach, and shopping was quite... More

The room was clean and the daliy service was excellent. The staff at the desk was always cheerful, helpfull, and prompt. The morning breakfast although the exact same every day was certainly adequate. The only negative was at night you could hear alot of traffic activity that usually died off after midnight. I would most definately stay here again as... More

I stayed at the Best Western Plus Gateway Siesta Key from April 22, 2013 - April 27, 2013. Not to far of a DRIVE from Siesta Key Beach, but not normal walking distance. I have been traveling every year/every other year for about 15 years. Have stayed at this hotel when it was under the Holiday Inn Express ownership. Siesta... More

I stayed at the BWP Siesta Key and the keyword is 'gateway.' It is nowhere near Siesta Key and you pretty much have to drive if you want to get there. The Siesta Key Beach is nice and the town is not exactly charming but worth a visit. (The food there is overpriced and rather mediocre, but there are plenty... More
