After having an evening flight canceled at Sarasota Airport, I feel lucky to find the Lantern Inn via Expedia. It was a reasonable rate compared to the surrounding national chains. It was convenient to the airport. I would stay here again.

Hidden Gem

The hotel exterior is under construction due to hurricane damage but that is superficial. The room was practically brand new inside and the amenities and common areas were well maintained.

This was clean enough and basically fine, but the street traffic noise was immense. Far too loud for a hotel. I would imagine some areas of the hotel aren’t as loud, but the room they put me in was facing the highway out front and was ridiculously noisy.

Loved the floors - no carpet! Plenty of towels and washcloths, and they were big and fluffy. Bed was very comfortable and TV was easy to operate. Only downside was all coffee was decaf, no regular. Overall, great value for the money.

Great spot for our Spring Training Trip

This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

The property is under renovation from the hurricane. The room was clean and nice. The people we dealt with were nice and knowledgeable. The only downside was the noise. I heard people in the breezeway and the next room and the airport. I m a very light sleeper so that should be considered. I woiuld stay there again
