Independent Sarasota hotels

"The staff was very accommodating, professional and courteous. "

"I stayed at Lantern Inn & Suites for one night while passing through, and overall it was a good experience. The room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable, which made for a nice, restful stay. The location worked well for me since it was close to where my friends were staying, so that was definitely a plus. The only downside was that there seemed to be quite a few empty rooms, so I feel like I could have been given a room with a better view. Other than that, everything was nice, and I had no issues during my stay. For a quick overnight stop, it did the job, and I wouldn’t mind staying there again."

"The property is a quiet, tropical paradise. Very relaxing."

"Great location, and very nice staff. Only had issues with the TV, some of the channels wouldn’t work, or would freeze. Also, a little stingy on the towels for the rooms, and pool towels were too small. "

"Room was very clean. "

"Clean rooms, staff was excellent, breakfast was excellent. "

"My wife and I were really impressed with our experience. The service was outstanding, from the valet to the front desk to the Tiki bar staff and servers at Drift. We would definitely return and recommend to others."

"Great place to start a tropical getaway. Very nice decorations and easy access to many family friendly places!"

"Dinner at the bistro was ok after an hour wait with hardly anyone else there. "
