“Overnight New Year's Eve - great location, close to multiple restaurants”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Nice, clean, near-new hotel. Granite counters and bathroom, microwave, refrigerator, free wired and wireless internet, good computers and free printer in the lobby. What's not to like? The only disappointment was the "suite" wasn't really much of a suite, per se. We expected a private sleeping area from our kids, but the room is set up more like a sitting area w/pull-out sofa not far from the main bed. Still, fair price, good breakfast, and the shopping mall across the street had a half-dozen restaurants nestled in among the many stores. Take a walk or drive around to find them all; you'll be surprised. Almost ate at the World of Beer next door, but am glad we investigated across the street! Very reasonably priced Total Wine warehouse store in that shopping center, with very low priced cigars, too! Breakfast was among the better Comfort hotel chain breakfasts, and, all in all, the hotel is a very good value. We'll definitely consider this place on a return visit.

Room Tip: The rooms on the East side might be a bit noisier because that's where Rt. 75 is, but ours was o...

“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We took 5 rooms while on a golf holiday, easy to find, great location, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. World of Beer next door was ideal for an early evening drink. The rooms were first class, very comfortable beds, spotless bathrooms. Breakfast is DIY but fresh and plenty of it. The staff were very helpful especially the lady on the front desk. Great value for money and will certainly use it agin next year.

“What a find!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel was perfect for our family visit. A short ride from the airport, close to restaurants and lots of shopping and the family we were visiting.
The rooms were large and comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast was very good, but it's important to get down early. In the late afternoon there were fresh cookies!
I will certainly stay again when visiting Sarasota.

“Stayed 2x's in 2 weeks - Very Nice!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

First - ask to stay in the North Tower. It's newer and is just a bit better than the older-updated rooms to the south.

Next, you'll enjoy the variety and cleanliness of the morning breakfast (ends at 9am - so don't miss out).

Service is very good. Each time I spoke with staff (at front desk, room service, and the delightful person who maintains the breakfast room) I was more than pleased!

The rooms are spacious, moderately appointed (however, not much storage - only one étagère - which took up space with an extra blanket stuffed in the bottom of it). The sitting area was ok - slightly seperated from the sleeping area. Internet was fast enough. Marble-like countertops throughout and quiet . . . yes it was quiet . . . and clean. They also have drinks and snacks available for purchase at the front desk - handy. I've stayed twice in two weeks (pick the North Tower!). Used AAA discount for lowest rate on internet and got reward points too through Choice Hotels.

Room Tip: Stay in the North Tower
