We needed to stay an extra night in Sarasota due to a flight cancellation. We booked our stay through Booking.com not really knowing the area. The facility was pretty new and was clean. It was relatively close to the airport. We were first sent to a room that was not prepared to accommodate new guests. We went to the desk and then sent to a room that was fine.

The Breakfast and Pool for our granddaughter we're our favorites

Our family had a wonderful time and I do recommend but Noise is my worst complaint because the walls are paper thin you hear everything including the bathroom and in the neighboring rooms, the doors are heavy and slam shut loudly in the night when your asleep

Breakfast was very good. Hot food was served hot and was replenished regularly. Didn't catch the name but the tall, blond lady working the kitchen was excellent - great personality and hard worker.

We were staying to avoid concerns with Hurricane Idalia. We live locally in Sarasota. Only concern was bathtub vs walk-in shower. This is not really a problem but would be nice to have a choice.

The breakfast was good but bring back the bacon! :) The staff was very friendly and the rom was clean. The location was perfect for me. I will be back!

AC/Heat was not working correctly in my room and the bathroom faucet was leaking at the base, but did not cause a problem.

The breakfast was great, staff was friendly, and the rooms were clean.

I stayed in room 302 and the window blinds were broken and it was a wait to get clean towels. The price was also very high at around $240 per night; however, it was spring break so I understand why. No major complaints though, I survived! 🙂

It was clean . The location was convenient. We had fresh towels every day.

The building itself is somewhat dated. Compared to other hotels, the beds were not as comfortable.

The staff was great. The building and room were clean and tidy. The only issue was a barking dog, however i was unable to determine where the dog was located.

The staff was very helpful
