The hotel is a perfect location for travelers looking for a clean newly renovated room not far from the airport or the city. The hotel has great open spaces outside and a large pool area with plenty of chairs and space. The pool is clean and refreshing. The manager Katrina was particularly helpful and attentive to guests needs. I certainly recommend The Golden Host Resort for your next visit to Sarasota.
