Magnuson Hotel Bradenton Review (Welcome to the Third World) I made and paid a reservation in advance for February 26, 2026 at the hotel. The clerk was sitting behind what looked like a bullet-proof glass window with all kinds of scotch tape ends still stuck to it. As I opened the door to room 123, I smelled the heavily perfumed room masking the smoking smell (supposed to be a non-smoking room) and turned on the light, the first resident roach informed me that the faucets on the sink don't work and there is no hot water. Furthermore, he said that there in no watchable programing on the tv and that the Internet access number provided didn't connect to any known network. The second resident roach pointed to the mirror and mentioned that someone had spray painted graffiti over it a while back. And I noticed that the bed had just a mattress over a wire frame and no box spring to support it. On a good note........the sheets were clean. Jonathan

The staff are incredible here. They go above and beyond for your needs there’s such limited parking around the room that I’m sometimes forced to park at the end of the parking lot. Also, you can be prepared to wake up abruptly from anyone outside. They slam their doors and the talking in general is somehow intensifying

If you want my honest opinion for me its about the people not the place.If the people are good people and treat you right i can overlook certain aspects of cleanliness or property conditions.I would much rather go to a place with imperfections and good people.These people were good to me.Love is everything.

We stayed 2 nights during the tropical storm, non smoking double room. Very clean, didn't smell muggy like some motels. Didn't see any bugs. Staff is very accommodating and welcoming. Beds and bedding were super comfortable. Even had a little coffee maker with a little packet of coffee. Always felt very safe. I've stayed there before and they always remember me.

Front staff was very nice. Room was basic and older, but very clean! It’s on a busy road so it’s a bit noisy overnight. Breakfast options are limited. But overall it was what we needed at a good price.

The room is in much worse condition than the photo shows. Also had to put $100 deposit down which I was informed I couldn't get a receipt because I was leaving early the next morning and no one would be there to give me one…. On a very busy road and a sketchy part of town. The pros….. Close to the airport, very hot water and you can’t hear the road noise also the pool area looked clean and nice. All in all would not stay here again.
