Great hotel for the price. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable, and appears to be fairly newly renovated. Hotel is basically in a shopping plaza, so relatively convenient location. Solid choice for the price point.

Lacrosse trip saved by awesome staff! We had to book through a Third party and it got all screwed up - it was cancelled . I arrived at 1 am very stressed because we had no room and the team needed to stay together. I was greeted by a gentleman who understood and did his best to accommodate us at the same rate successfully. The next day we were in another bad situation. I met Jeneane and she immediately went to work to make sure our stay was uninterrupted and pleasant as can be . Wow ! This is a top notch hotel in their commitment to guest services and satisfaction . A sure disaster was averted and a wonderful time was had ! Thank you!

We traveled to Sarasota for the state marching band championships last weekend and had 65 students and 20 adults stay at this phenomenal hotel. The group sales team was phenomenal and Sylma was an expert at facilitating catering for dinner, breakfasts for our students, and a gathering room! Our entire weekend went smoothly and we’ll definitely be returning if we are ever traveling in the area again!

While my room was average, or what I expected for a Courtyard, what made this special for me, were the nicely designed common areas, lovely outdoor terrace, and Sandy, who works at the cafe. Sandy knows customer service and how to take care of her customers with humor. In a great area that is close to many shops and restaurants; easy access off I-75.

This was a hurricane evacuation destination and we could not have been more pleased. Staff was on high alert to meet any need and was extraordinarily friendly, responsive, helpful and caring to the full range of evacuees who wanted to make sure they were safe. Room was clean and very acceptable under the crisis circumstances.

The hospitality that this team provides is second to NONE! The bar has definitely been set! I’m on the road more often than not...this place is different. It’s a beautiful, well taken care of property in a prime location with plenty of options for whatever you need/want to do. The rooms are immaculately clean & SPACIOUS, providing a great option to get work done without feeling cramped in a small space. Great fitness center with everything you need to get a solid workout in. This property was close to max occupancy with youth sports organizations for most of my 2 week stay, and the entire staff functioned like a well oiled machine. There’s a family feel about the way these folks operate, and how they treat their guests. It was a pleasure meeting and getting to know the team; Sylma, Arlind, Clarissa, Alejandro, Jennifer, Garrett, Sandy, Pat, the entire front office crew, housekeeping...they all provided the most genuine service I’ve ever received and made me feel right at home. I will forever stay here any time I find myself in Sarasota. Looking forward to my next visit!!!

This hotel was spotless and totally updated. It's walking distance to several restaurants and shops. And the assistant manager, Clarissa, is a doll. So kind and accommodating. Ate at the cafe for dinner twice and their cook, Lili makes the freshest salads (I could literally drink her lemon vinaigrette dressing on its own!) So many nice spaces to hang out, the patio overlooking a lake, the banquet seating in the lobby and the small, but well-appointed pool area. We were here for US Rowing Youth Nationals and will hopefully be back next year 🤞
