Great spot for our Spring Training Trip
This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

Hidden Gem
The hotel exterior is under construction due to hurricane damage but that is superficial. The room was practically brand new inside and the amenities and common areas were well maintained.

Fine hotel in Sarasota, FL
Very nice, non-chain hotel. A little bit older, but clean, safe, and quiet. A nice hotel for a night or two in Sarasota.

It is a solid stay for the price.
This was my 2nd time staying here in the past year. Overall the price isn’t bad for the stay. Building itself needs some repairs. The room was good. Bathroom could have been cleaned better due to hair being left behind.

Would stay again
Staff was friendly, room was spacious and clean, with nice amenities of a keurig, refrigerator and soaps/shampoo etc. Pool looked inviting and had a happening tiki bar on premises. Only thing that would have made it better was if there was a continental breakfast offered.
