This Comfort Inn is like most in my opinion. A small step above a Super 8 but below a Hampton or Fairfield. My wife and I stayed at this property for 3 nights in late March. Being the busy season around Sarasota and with Spring training for baseball, hotel rates were very high. A family friend works at a Comfort Inn in Minnesota so we were able to get a employee rate of $69. I wouldnt want to pay much more than that. This property is an old, two story motor lodge type motel. We had no complaints about the room itself. There was a refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker with coffee, iron, and ironing board. The bed was comfortable and the a/c worked fine. The continental breakfast was standard fare, but the do-it-yourself waffles were pretty tasty. We were kid-less on this trip so we didn't use the pool, but the pool area was clean. The location is convenient to I-75 and is next door to a Walmart supercenter, McDonalds, Subway, and Cracker Barrel.
All in all, I can't complain about the place really, especially for the price paid.

While going South on Interstate #75, we got a room at this motel without prior reservation and paid $121.51. Prior to registering, I requested a quiet room with a King Size bed. When we got to the room, it had one queen size bed and one double bed. After phoning the desk clerk, she said " didn't I tell you that we are out of Kings".

There were 3 hand written signs in the room indicating that there was no heat ( my guess was that they were left by a previous occupant of the room). Since it was a cool night, my wife went to the desk clerk to request a blanket. The clerks response was that she didn't have any, but would put the request in her computer.

I would guess that the motel was built in the 1960's. I thought that cleanliness was OK, but my wife kept her socks on because she didn't want to touch the carpet with her bare feet. The toilet would sound like a siren for about 30 seconds after flushing (quite an unusual experience) and the bathroom ceiling fan sounded like a big truck was coming thru the room. So long as we didn't use the bathroom, this pool side room was quiet

The Cable TV had more premium channels than is typical. The TV remote was missing it's battery cover.

Unlike some previous guests, I didn't notice any bugs.

This area has a cluster of at least 4 motels within sight of each other. We had first tried to get a room at the Holiday Inn Express, but they were sold out. Based upon the Trip Advisor customer reviews of the Holiday Inn Express, that will be much better deal when available.

As noted in the previous post, there seems to be a termite/bug invasion along the walls of the complex so that we wondered if the second floor would crumble during the night. Might be worth the management calling Terminix or Orkin out for an inspection.

Rooms were adequate, although carpet was kind of sticky (!?). The most disconcerting thing was that this seemed to be a favorite of rednecks on a Saturday night, with people sitting outside their rooms drinking beer and empty cartons of beer stacked downstairs along the pillars the next morning. And people drinking beer in the parking lot when we checked in. Not exactly a great clientele, but maybe we just hit a bad weekend.

All in all a decent night's sleep, but there are better places to stay -- the nearby Holiday Inn Express nearby, for example.

There were disgusting bugs all over the stairs, handrails and hallway leading to our 2nd floor room (no elevator, door opens directly to outside). In our room the previous occupant had left a used coffee grounds packet in the coffee maker. After using the iron & ironing board, we couldn't close it. A note left on it was ignored by housekeeping. Had to ask they remove it from room which they did. On the plus side the swimming pool was large and the complimentary breakfast was good. Wouldn't stay here again.
