Just had a wonderful stay at this lovely small hotel. Spotless, very comfortable rooms and suites, perfect location right in the heart of downtown. and welcoming owners and staff make this a perfect choice for your vacation. The owners were very warm to our 4 yr old daughter and could not have been nicer to our family. Highly recommended! more

This hotel is the perfect place to stay in Sarasota. It's walking distance to/from Main Street to all the shops and restaurants, including a movie theater. You could probably walk to the Marina too. The rooms are so comfy and we actually said this would be a REALLY nice apartment in NYC. It's ultra modern and still has the 1920's... more

I will add my 2 cents to the previous 89 reviews and say this is the coolest building conversion! My husband and I spent a half hour just looking around the room at all the design details - we got the room for $99 and it was great. Has a kitchen with all utensils, iPod player system, cable, a/c, fantastic... more

There aren't many amenities, but staying in downtown Sarasota, you are two blocks from everything you need. The rooms are huge, very modern, and comfortable. We had a great stay for one night, flawless. more

We picked the Hotel Ranola based on previous reviews and after correspondening with the owners Robert & Kim, and we were not disappointed. The hotel was a perfect base for our week stay in the Sarasota area, close to some of the best beaches in the US, Siesta Key & Lido only 10-15 min drive, and very close to bars/resturants... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Ranola and were delighted with our choice. The apartment was comfortable and clean and having a full kitchen made for relaxing breakfasts. The Ranola's location is superb if you like to have a wide selection of excellent restaurants within a few minutes walk, very important if you like some wine with your meal. It... more

We spent 3 nights @ the Ranola in downtown Sarasota and throughly recommend this hotel. On arrival we were greeted by the owners who could not have been more helpful, they gave us and good overview of the city and the attractions and recommended good places to eat. We stayed in a king room and could not have been more... more

If you like unique, family-run, centrally located and small hotels, you'll love the Ranola. Our "room" was a nicely appointed one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room and kitchen. We had flat-screen TVs in the bedroom and living rooms and a sleep sofa in the living room. The staff loves their hotel...one of the employees came out to welcome us... more

I found Hotel Ranola through Trip Advisor and booked two rooms for a long weekend in Sarasota to attend a wedding. I could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. The rooms were spacious, furnished with style and taste, and were clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could need including wine glasses and cocktail shaker. The big... more

We love Hotel Ranola and look forward to our return. The warm welcome immediately makes you feel at home. The rooms offer more than what is expected. The location and parking are perfect. My husband is not a boutique hotel patron and can't say enough good things about Hotel Ranola. We spent a lot of time visiting friends at a... more

So glad you are working on converting your husband to a boutique hotel lover. Thrilled that we were a positive part of his experience. It was great meeting you both and I hope to see you again soon! Thanks for taking the time to write a review.
