Very close to the airport. It's an older property and not super impressive, but quiet and clean which is most important. Communication via text isn't great (half the time I wouldn't get a response and I'd end up calling or stopping by), but staff was very nice and helpful. They were so kind and gave me a free disposable toothbrush and I was so grateful as I was carless while staying there. Large smart water price was totally do-able. Overall I was pleased and would stay there again in a pinch. Thank you!

Clean room, bed a little lopsided, air not working well and a little noisy- room was comfortable but warm at night. Overall, for a small hotel we were pleased. Small area had tons of rafts etc. for use in the pool.

It is located near the places I need to visit when I'm in Sarasota. Its clean, safe and staff is very friendly. It has a funky 60s retro style and I don't need much more for a quick trip. Great price!
