Fine hotel in Sarasota, FL
Very nice, non-chain hotel. A little bit older, but clean, safe, and quiet. A nice hotel for a night or two in Sarasota.

Would stay again
Staff was friendly, room was spacious and clean, with nice amenities of a keurig, refrigerator and soaps/shampoo etc. Pool looked inviting and had a happening tiki bar on premises. Only thing that would have made it better was if there was a continental breakfast offered.

Could use some TLC.
Hotel is a little run down. Grounds could use some TLC. This was a repeat stay for us. Everything is old. Lobyy could use a make over.

Receptionist was knowledgeable, friendly and profesional.
The room was implacably clean and the Tiki bar was a 10.
New furniture in the rooms and the grounds were well maintained. Still going through a major renovation.
