“Nice hotel for a long weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed at this hotel at the weekend, rooms were clean and comfortable with fridge and microwave, found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room comes with a breakfast with hot items, not bad. The pool area is very nice so we managed to grab a few rays there. There is a bus service opposite the hotel that will take you over to Siesta key ( Voted best beach in North America) for $ 1.50 each quick and clean, or grab a cab, ask at the desk one company will take you to Siesta key village for $ 6.00 same company will take you to the airport for $ 22.00. Also on the beach they have small Electric buggy,s that will take you anywhere free, just tips ,great. There is a restaurant on the properties parking lot called Bogeys, happy hour all day, good food and very close. Big shopping mall across the road, if you want to shop, lots of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Siesta key village is a great place to visit we had Oysters at SKOB, happy hour price $ 6.00 a dozen, amazing, also make sure you visit Captain Curts restaurant won best clam chowder in North America, the best chowder I have ever tasted
I would recommend this hotel for a weekend break, will go again !!

“So little sleep...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The best part of staying at this H.I. was the breakfast. I would much rather have had a decent nights sleep. I will say that the grounds were very nicely kept and even the room was clean but gave the appearance of being old and dingy and that is exactly what the bed felt like. We only spent one night here but I would not have spent another even if we were going to be in the area. It is not convenient for beaches, tourist activities. We did walk to dinner but basically it is a hotel on the main drag and I think there probably are better options available.

Thank you for your review and for staying with us. We are delighted that you were satisfied with the complimentary breakfast and the cleanliness of your room. This hotel is located on the mainland in Sarasota at the south bridge to Siesta Key, surrounded by many restaurants and shopping and a short distance to the beach (under 1 mile). The building is setback some 150' from US 41; your review doesn't indicate the reason for your disatisfaction regarding your night's sleep; I am assuming you chose a parking lot side room instead of pool/garden which alleviates the traffic noise. We would appreciate the opportunity to host you again and upgrade you to a pool/garden room, complimentary.

“Very good hotel for a short stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We used this hotel as it was a short distance from our main holiday accommodation near Crescent beach, and we need a one night stay before travelling back to Tampa airport.

Our room was a good size, with decent bathroom & shower, also had a fridge & drink making facilities.

Free buffet breakfast was one of the best we have encountered, having stayed in similar accommodation in various other places in Florida.

We checked out at 11am but were allowed to use the pool facilities, which we thought were very good indeed.

Staff were efficient, overall very good hotel which we would recommend for a short stop.

“Great place to stay in Sarasota.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

At the time of our stay, we had three kids under the age of 7. If you are a fan of Holiday Inn Express this one will not disappoint. Our kids really enjoyed themselves in the pool area. The only negatives to the experience--grumpy old people seemed to be annoyed with our kids in the pool area, but they seemed to warm up after awhile, and the hotel is not located on Siesta Key like the name suggests. It is close to Siesta Key beach but not on Siesta Key Beach. I suggest doing a google map search so you know exactly what your location is before booking. With three small children we still had to drive to the beach.

Room Tip: I suggest asking for a room on the back of the hotel, facing the pool.

“NOT EVEN CLOSE TO SIESTA BEACH!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Located facing a congested route 41 and miles from beach is not what I was leaded to believe.
Price was pricey,room smelled stale, needed at least a steam cleaner for carpet. Last time I stay there. Reception seemed overwhelm and too short when asked questions.

Thank you for posting your review and for staying with us. This property is located on the mainland, 1 mile from public Beach Access 12 on Siesta Key and 2.8 miles from the public beach. It is unfortunate that you were not aware of our location and we apologize if we gave you a different impression.
