What I can confidently say is that the place is clean, friendly, and the owners could be seen on site all 4 days I was there and actually getting in the trenches and working hard. Refreshing to see and proves rheyre dedicared to delivering a great experience. I'll be back. "

"Was a cute hotel and great location "

"Room was clean and comfortable. The pool area was nice and whole place was being updated and nice."

"Room was very clean . Beds were comfortable. Staff and check in went smoothly. Pool location is in the parking lot, along side a busy road . Pool was fenced in and well maintained . Hotel building is older but inside is modern and updated. The AC worked great but was very noisy. Very close to airport great for early morning flights out. Parking was safe . "

"Husband was injured when the grab bar in the shower came out of the wall"

"This was a last minute booking as my first one was no-show to give me the key. Location is great, if you have a car (short drive to many beaches), and is part of “Old Sarasota” (lots of hotels along that strip of road on Tamiami trail, this one being one of the more expensive ones). I stayed 1 night at the Regency Inn (less expensive motel), but switched to this one, based on listing pictures, and it’s higher price point, making it seem more highly sophisticated. I was deceived. Sadly, turned out to be lipstick on a pig. Mostly a paint job, with a few upgrades. Room claims to have a “Refrigerator”, which is a (new) dorm fridge. The coffee maker could not be used to heat water for tea or oatmeal because coffee grinds filled the spout. I had to move it to the bedside to use it because the cord didn’t reach the fully stacked power cord. However, if I only wanted my caffeine before 10am, I could get it with the continental breakfast. The bathroom sink and counter were probably older than me…, lots of peeling, worn layers, and paint drips on it. The baseboards were unfinished, The bathroom door was warped, and cracked. The AC had a remote with no batteries. The couch pillows had paint and other (???) stains on it. My bed quilt was torn and my bed sheets were stained! The privacy sign was so tattered it would fly off the door handle. Staff was friendly, but little consolation to other issues. Should have stayed at the Regency, it was undeceivingly older, but spotless!"

"Generally rundown with a fresh coat of paint. Shower did not work but no offer to fix it that morning. Was offered a different room that was not made up yet."

"We killed a HUGE ROACH @3:30am. The water pressure was non existent. The pillow were flat. For the amount we paid I expected WAY MORE!! "

"Our room was clean - staff members were hospitable - HVAC worked well."
