Red Roof Inn Ellenton - Bradenton NE

I planned this trip to celebrate my birthday in Sarasota. I got this hotel with very good deal. The hotel room was very clean and was smells good. I parked my car very close to my room. I was very happy with my choice.

We came from Montana for my Granddaughters Graduation our stay of 5 days was great. The rooms are a little dated but very clean we were on the bottom floor across from the pool. The room was very quiet no noise from surrounding rooms. Ample parking, close to restaurants, gas station, Hwy 301 with easy access to shopping. The rate was great it made our trip super affordable. We enjoyed our view of lake Lovelee, the hotel offered coupons for the nearby restaurants which were very welcome. The manager was a little short with my daughter and i heard that she or someone close might have been feeding the alligator that lived at the lake. I know they were short staffed, and it might have been a bit to being overworked. Not sure about the alligator but i did get a nice video when it saw me it swam right for me. There is a fence that separates from the lake so i felt pretty safe. Don't feed the alligators and i think this would be a great place to stay.
