I loved how upscale the hotel was, the room was spacious and very clean. Plenty of shopping, restaurants and nightlife around the area to enjoy as well.
Excellent recently rebuilt hotel. Huge shopping and dining options close by. Rooms are spacious, modern, clean— with mini- frig, microwave and bar sink. Excellent fitness center!
Very good location. Facility is wonderful. Restaurant staff and front desk staff were very pleasant. Many good eateries near by. Sarasota is a beautiful clean city. Will be back.
Property is clean and in a great location, made the quick (30 mins with no traffic) drive over to Ana Maria island for the beach. The check in process was a bit of a nightmare due to a disconnect in communication at the front desk. Took an 1 hr and 45 mins to get sorted. Bad experience after a 2 hr drive and kids in the car excited about hitting the beach/pool.
