This is a solid hotel. Rooms and common areas were spotless. Staff was warm and welcoming. Pool was nice as was the pool bar. We were even able to borrow beach chairs, umbrella and cooler for our day at the beach. Only drawback is the location. It's located on a highway with fast food and big box stores. It is however, a short ride to the beach.

I stayed at this hotel recently and overall had a mixed experience. The property is quite old and could definitely use some updates, but the bed was very comfortable, which made it easy to get a good night’s sleep. One thing to keep in mind is the breakfast. If you’re expecting a varied or hot breakfast, you might be disappointed. The options were very limited — mainly bagels and hard-boiled eggs, and this was the same throughout the entire stay. In the evenings, it was also difficult to get hot water for tea, as it wasn’t really hot anymore. The coffee available all day long but didn’t seem fresh either. The hotel may suit travelers who prioritize a comfortable bed over modern facilities and breakfast variety, but there’s definitely room for improvement in amenities and food service.

The hotel provides precisely what you pay for: 1. Basic rooms nothing fancy- bed was a little not comfy for my liking and the pillows were not the greatest… I still managed to sleep fine given we spent our days full of activities that sleeping, was no issue (Note, rooms have no noise isolation so you can hear it all)… the room has no slippers nor bathtubs neither have safe. 2. Location- we rented a car so Never used the beach shuttle. Beach (Siesta) was 7min driving and the little village was another 2min… downtown Sarasota was 15-20min driving and St Armand was also another 15min driving Overall good location 3. Service- attention was good. I was able to text and they responded quickly when asked for late check-out …. I didn’t make use of the swimming pool nor tried their complementary breakfast but the section was large and people seems happy with both. The hotel has ice machines on each floor which was helpful. Parking is free and there is plenty of it, we never had a problem. Room service was good New towels every day and bed sheets were changed I think on day 3. Overall good hotel- just good. I guess I was expecting more given the price, especially given the fact that we went off-season. The hotel made feel I was in motel, the outside is not that invited …my only observations are the water pressure is not the greatest (we were on the 4th floor dunno if that matters) and room didn't have a safe which made us carry our valuable belongings at all times.

The filter at the water bottle refill station needed to be changed. The red light was on and the water didn't taste right. The breakfast was good but one day boiled eggs weren't available. Overall the room was clean and comfortable and staff was friendly and helpful.
