The hotel was exceptional in all respects bar one. The staff could not do enough for us. The decor was stunning. I had one of the best steaks in my life. A hotel for adults and probably not families.

The hotel pool was closed - although we were able to use the sister hotel Lido Beach Resort which was very impressive and more of a family hotel.

Lovely decor and the view from the balcony was stunning. Great location as it’s a nice quiet spot but is only a short walk to dozens of restaurants and shops. Staff were fantastic. All of them were friendly and helpful.

Could do with a sign so you know you’re at the right place.

Great location. Across the street from Lido Beach and blocks from St. Armands Circle. Nice pool and service.

The lobby furniture and rooms are looking worn. Time for update.

Location, service, similar in the pictures 👌🏼

The room smells like dog it was the only thing I didn't like

this has to be one of the best located hotels in Florida - the views are exceptional and the brief walk to St Armand circle ideal

this is an older Holiday Inn hotel and is in need of a makeover - the rooms and en-suite bathrooms definitely need an upgrade - the staff keep the rooms very clean, the sheets and towels are pristine but the hotel is a bit jaded…

The location is perfect and we love the staff. This was the second trip in 3 months.

It wasn’t the property as much as the menu had changed. The food was so good 3 months prior. It was still good but the breakfast menu was gone and only buffet was available. Again the staff was amazing.

Food was outstanding, very polite staff- attention to detail in restaurant was greatly appreciated

For just opening 9 days ago - what a great experience seeing the staff on their toes! Way to go!

I was so worried based on all the reviews - but couldn’t have been happier when we arrived to the hotel. Every room is a view room. We had a gorgeous view of the city. Easy and fun walk to Armand square. Beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and everything was just perfect. I will always stay here when I come tobSarasota! The best!

Housekeeping and staff was great!! Location of beautiful beach right across street, 5 minute safe walk to St Armbands Circle with shops and lots of restaurants. Highly recommend them!! Hotel offered free shuttle service to St Armand's if u don't want to walk. Free coffee and snacks everyday. Free pool towels. Pool was still being updated and is small but very clean. Tiki bar has very reasonably priced $10 drinks which u can take to beach. Can have groceries delivered but be sure to check items before delivery person leaves. Also beach lounge chairs and umbrellas are avaible for modest price!!

I was hoping for close public transportation to see more of Sarasota. At first glance of ad is that breakfast is included to guests which it isn't. But no biggie!!

This was a great find! Recently renovated so clean and fresh with large rooms. We loved the beach/ocean view sunsets from our room. Only a 1/4 mile walk to be on St. Armand's Circle to enjoy plenty of food, drink and shopping. The pool was in nice condition and the bar staff for snacks and drinks there was excellent.

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not part of this resort so plan accordingly. There is a person providing rentals across the street but it's a limited quantity. If you're staying longer than two days you should just buy your own on the way into town.
