Work was still being completed, but the updates were amazing. The Tiki Bar is a nice added feature, but the bartenders didn't make the best tasting drinks. No breakfast offered.

There was a weird smell in both the lobby and our room. Like they were trying to cover something else up. The bed was not comfortable at all.

The staff the evening I showed up was extremely helpful. I was traveling with my son and we were having credit card issues. She waited patiently while I contacted the bank and sorted out the issues. Took me a half hour and that didn’t rattle her at all. Thank you for an extremely pleasant experience. Very best, Rich and Dylan

We were very impressed with Lantern Inn and Suites for the price. Our room was a nice size, clean, had comfortable beds, and seemed recently renovated. The pool was kept clean as were the washers and dryers (I had just stayed in a hotel in a different town that had some that left stuff all over my clothes so it is the first thing I noticed here). I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sarasota.
