“I loved this hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

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 very first hotel that I've ever stayed in that didn't have that moldy smell to it. Even the beds were comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The bartenders made THE best drinks. This hotel is located between Ringling and the Jungle Gardens. Everything else was in driving distance within 10 min with traffic. I completely walk the streets of this neighborhood at night without worry. It's FAR from being a ghetto. I even plan to rebook at this hotel in a few month when I return to Sarasota for another visit. Thank you Golden Host Resort for making my Birthday weekend the best!

Room Tip: Ask for a room that is pool side.

“Nice stay at great price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

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.

“Not Golden At All”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

people found this review helpful

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.

“Pleasant”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2011

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.

“DO NOT STAY HERE PLEASE!!!!!!!! Zero Stars”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

people found this review helpful

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 have happen...the place is terrible, dirty, unsave feeling, and the people that own it are unhelpful...

Room Tip: Don't stay here!!!!!!
