Good Stay Near the Bay
Had a good stay here— rooms could stand to be deep cleaned and updated, they felt quite stale and dated. For the price, you could easily find a hotel with more modern amenities. The major bonus here was the rooftop pool and bar with amazing views.

Hidden costs
We enjoyed this hotel and love Downtown Sarasota. If you’ll have a car, parking is Valet only at $50/nt. Couple this with $100 for breakfast and the very reasonable rate becomes less reasonable. The beds are wildly comfortable and the rooftop pool was very nice. Go to Project Coffee.

Relaxing
Wonderful Hotel! Nice location (if you fly in with out a rental…Breeze76 bus can drop you off right at hotel for $2…short minute walk to check-in desk…room was perfect! Looked and smell clean. Nice view with balcony. Big enough for us two with a table and two chairs. But not for walking around. Short rideshare to downtown Sarasota and shops.
