Searched for a last minute beach destination and totally got lucky! This adorable hotel is about 3 miles from the actual beach....but there was so much more. Loved how it was about 2 blocks from downtown and all the activity. It was a total hit out of the park. Drove to the beach on our way in and then headed to the hotel. Spent the afternoon and late into the night walking and enjoying the restaurants and late night spots. The next morning, slept in -- the room was perfectly dark and chilly, just like we like it! Then, walked back into town for coffee and checked out. Hit another beach on our way home. Who knew 30 hrs could bring so much activity and new found fun places! You won't regret a stay!

It was all good!

Location Staff was friendly and helpful. , Bed/bedding were comfortable but lacked weight-had to request blankets-staff happy to comply. Valet Nick and the woman on Wednesday were extremely nice and helpful.

Rooms were TOO barebones for the price. No qtips/toiletries, no daily cleaning so would've liked bigger garbage cans or trash liners with drawstrings as an alternative. Would've like a small, non rolling chair with arms esp in a ADA room. Room upon arrival had 2 flying bugs(no open windows/doors in room), something that resembled dried boogers in top of shower) no luggage racks. Killed both bugs prior to leaving.

Great location, nice lobby, friendly valet parking, nice lobby bar (but limited hours), great workout room with lots of machines and free weights, good workspace, good TV service

key operated elevator was spotty, every-other-day housekeeping would be good, but they didn't always show up as scheduled and the cleaning so/so (dusty bathroom spaces).

The location of the hotel was less than a 5 min walk from Main Street and the Marina so if you want to see Sarasota and experience the boat tours etc this is an excellent choice of hotel. Staff were very friendly, helpful, always had a smile and are a credit to the company. Absolutely nothing to fault about the stay.

I am being picky here. Parking is either Valet, on the street (restricted) or a 5-10 min walk from the hotel. But at $20/night I doubt you would be cheaper using public parking (plus the Valet Guys are brilliant). There was no restaurant in the hotel but Main Street and the surrounding area is full of places to eat for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I love the outlook from the pool area.

The first morning I met this lady who was very rude at the front desk. I went for some extra coffee creamer and Suger but went to the wrong area, I didn't know. So I try asking the young lady behind the kitchen counter but as I went to ask the lady at the front desk rudely said u need to order over here. I said I wasn't trying to order anything I just had a question. She than says its in this corner over here and pointed. The way she talk to people comes of rude and it could be better. To think I found out it was the GM. Other than that everyone else was very polite and pleasant.

We very much liked the location, especially for the cost. The staff was incredibly friendly and check-in/check-out was quick and easy. The size of the room and location of the hotel more than met our expectations given our plans to be out and about most of the day.

We could hear much of what was happening around us while in the room. For example, if any room around us flushed a toilet we could hear the flush but I imagine the other patrons could hear that from our room as well. However, when the AC kicked on or if we put the sleep timer on the TV we couldn't hear anything.

Convenience. All staff, front desk, valet, very nice and friendly. Plenty of pillows, very nice view of city.

Room lights not well coordinated. Bathroom light not isolated from rest of room. Got warmer in room at night so must be on a monitor of sort regardless of how you set room temp. Sheets poor quality in my opinion kept getting tangled up in them.

The room and the bar at the looby was very nice. The location is perfect for exploring downtown sarasota.

I didn't like that the person that handles the booking.com account didn't replied to one concern I had with my credit card and a purschase made at the front thest. I had to contact them directly via email to get reply.

The hotel is conveniently located to many bars and restaurants. The hotel lobby had a nice vibe.

This hotel is very noisy. I was originally on the seventh floor on my first night in hotel. I barely slept due to the sound of constant air coming through exposed air ducts. I was moved to the second floor for the remainder of our stay, but it was still noisy. The bathroom door needed to be kept shut in order for the constant air noise not to drive us crazy.

The staff were very friendly. The room was very modern looking, complete with electric shades.

The shower was awkward and the connector for the showerhead couldn't support its weight. The pillows were also practically nonexistent.
