I don't know what other people's problem was with this hotel, but we had a great time. A friend and I came to Sarasota to site see not to spend all of our time in the hotel. While we were at the hotel, our room was extremely clean and smelled fresh I didn't even need Febreeze! It was also the... More

For the price this was a really great stay. The place is a little older so there was some wear in the room, but it was also clean. Quiet community. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Located so close to the beach, and downtown Sarasota. More

Chose this resort due to the low price and close to the airport. We stayed just one night. But BEWARE! This is not a resort!! It is in a bad area of Sarasota. The pictures on the website must have been taken when they first built it long ago. The rooms are very worn down and smelled moldy. More

The place is definitely NOT first class, but for the low price they charge I have to say this motel is surprisingly decent and clean. More

The place is a total dump...plus they gave our room away then moved us to the next crappy hotel next door that they also owned...and wouldn't even change the rate to the "not so Super 8 hotel" rate that they made us stay at...wi-fi and door key didn't work the whole time we where there... even if all this wouldn't...

The writer of this review DID NOT stay at our hotel. We believe that the writer of this review and the writer of review "Dirty and Disusting" are either same person or part of the same party. Both reviews were written on July 18, show Virginia address and elected to assign lowest "1" rating to all categories. This party had... More

I would not recommend for anyone to stay at this hotel. We had booked 2 rooms for our family vacation and when we got to the hotel and asked to see the rooms the front desk clerk showed us a room they had a very foul smell!! Even the desk clerk made a comment that the rooms would be fresher... More

We are very disappointed that the guest did not even stay at our hotel but elected to write such a strongly worded and damaging review. The guest was a "no show" on July 4 weekend when our property was completely sold out for that entire week.The guest objected to the "No Show" charges and wanted the charges to be waived.... More

My wife and I had been recommended this place by our friends, great choice! Friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms (our patio walked out to their pool area), great rates. I don't know what more you can ask for. Will recommend it all our friends and family. More

The pool was fantastic and the front desk manager was excellent! The grounds are beautiful Florida and what we'll remember. The only negative is trash bags had leaked from a nearby receptacle and were not cleaned. More

After an afternoon of shopping at St. Armands Circle, my family and I wanted to shower up before going to dinner and a show at the nearby Performing Arts Center. We checked into the hotel a little after 6pm. We called and asked for a late check-in and they told us that was fine. [We booked the hotel through hotels.com... More
