Check in was quick and simple, and staff was very friendly. The room was spacious and clean, though the AC didn’t work very well (I didn’t notify management) and there could have been more lighting. The pool area was clean and well maintained, and I felt very safe. I’d definitely stay again.

The room was clean and so cute. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Great location, 15 minutes to the beach so we took advantage of that each day even though that’s not why we were in Sarasota. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice location. Clean hotel. Great pool. I will say I wasn’t happy that we could not check in early. They wanted to charge me 20$ an hour for early check in. So we had to sit around for almost 3 hours before checking in. The room was ready too. Made no sense to me. I stayed in a lot places never was charged for early check in. I will never stay here again for that reason.

Not the nicest area of Sarasota, but a quick 10 minute drive to downtown Sarasota and all that it offers. Rooms were fine. Tiki Hut is not the most happening place I ever have been but nice if you want some live music.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and well kept. Loved the 50’s vibe. The Tiki hut was awesome, staff was so friendly. My only complaint was the shower curtain was too short, so water poured out onto the bathroom floor.

My bed was EXTRAORDINARILY comfortable. My room was quiet (which surprised me, because the bar next to the property had very loud outdoor music). My room was clean, the staff was all lovely. The POOL AREA was amazing. I was very pleased with my stay.
