"Everything was awesome"

"I never write reviews but I greatly recommend Carlisle in Sarasota. This has to be the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms are spacious, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The free breakfast included was perfect. I will definitely make this my go to hotel anytime I visit Sarasota. My husband and I had a great experience. 10/10"

"The hotel is easy to get to and just across the street from the beach. The room was spotless and well maintained. Besides a microwave and mini fridge it also had a toaster and dishes. "

"Clean hotel, great customer service. Easy check in process. I did see little roaches in my room. Other than that very clean. "

"Breakfast buffet had many items, including many hot options. Room was clean, but musty smelling. Staff was very pleasant."

"BEWARE! The pictures you see of the beach are not what you get. We were there for four days and two of them, the seaweed was a foot high, hot and smelly and went into the water so you couldn’t just step over it. I told the front desk, they said I was the first person to mention it (I find that VERY hard to believe) and the next day it was still there. I literally paid for the amenity to walk to the beach (like the one they had pictured) and we couldn’t even stand to be down there for two of the four days. We could have stayed somewhere inland for a cheaper price. I feel like we got ripped off totally. I tried contacting the manager twice and it’s been a week and he hasn’t returned my calls. There are plenty of other places to stay. Shop around."

"The room was clean and big. Had everything I needed. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee machine. Excellent restaurant attached to the motel for breakfast and lunch. Pool was located outside the rooms double doors. Venice Beach was about a mile away. Walking distance since I didn’t have a car. Shopping all within walking distance."

"Clean well kept rooms and property. Close to the beach. Very good food. Seems like a way more relaxing place to stay than the sister property Lido Key Beach Resort. Close walk to restaurants and shops. Nice staff."

"Beautiful Maids. Clean Rooms"
