Springhill Suites Bradenton Downtown/Riverfront Celebrating our anniversary, my wife and I were fortunate to choose SS Bradenton Downtown/Riverfront. The location on the Manatee River riverfront, river walk, and marina incredible was incredible. We checked in early on our Marriott Bonvoy app. When we arrived, Stephanie and Lindsay, at reception, were wonderful. We were celebrating a special occasion and they made it more special. Our room on the 7th floor was very nice. The riverfront view, with balcony, and late Spring weather exceptional. We won't forget our stay at SS Bradenton Riverfront. In the evening, we were able to our enjoy time on our balcony overlooking the riverfront. We would add the free breakfast served by the restaurant was fresh, not pre-packaged, and excellent. There are so many things to do within easy walking distance of the hotel. The morning of our departure, a farmers market was setup a block from the hotel entrance and we were able to enjoy time there. Before I forget, the 8th floor roof is where the pool is located. In the evening, the pool bar is connected to the bar for the Oak and Stone restaurant, where you can order drinks and food from the hotels deck. The Oak and Stone restaurant is not operated by the hotel. Also, access to the Oak and Stone restaurant is available from the hotel lobby (hint get there early in the evening). I would add that our room was directly below the Oak and Stone's rooftop bar; the crowd was large but we were not disturbed by any noise (if we hadn't known the rooftop bar was there, we would not have known.) The room exceeded our expectations. It seemed the entire staff knew we were celebrating and always asked if we needed anything. We will be returning to Springhill Suites Bradenton Downtown Riverwalk!
