Great location. Across the street from Lido Beach and blocks from St. Armands Circle. Nice pool and service.

The lobby furniture and rooms are looking worn. Time for update.

this has to be one of the best located hotels in Florida - the views are exceptional and the brief walk to St Armand circle ideal

this is an older Holiday Inn hotel and is in need of a makeover - the rooms and en-suite bathrooms definitely need an upgrade - the staff keep the rooms very clean, the sheets and towels are pristine but the hotel is a bit jaded…

Housekeeping and staff was great!! Location of beautiful beach right across street, 5 minute safe walk to St Armbands Circle with shops and lots of restaurants. Highly recommend them!! Hotel offered free shuttle service to St Armand's if u don't want to walk. Free coffee and snacks everyday. Free pool towels. Pool was still being updated and is small but very clean. Tiki bar has very reasonably priced $10 drinks which u can take to beach. Can have groceries delivered but be sure to check items before delivery person leaves. Also beach lounge chairs and umbrellas are avaible for modest price!!

I was hoping for close public transportation to see more of Sarasota. At first glance of ad is that breakfast is included to guests which it isn't. But no biggie!!

The location is perfect and we love the staff. This was the second trip in 3 months.

It wasn’t the property as much as the menu had changed. The food was so good 3 months prior. It was still good but the breakfast menu was gone and only buffet was available. Again the staff was amazing.

Cleanliness and access to the beach and water. I was also glad to have a workout room for fitness.

Expanded restaurant/food options.

the location, staff, room comfort, breakfast, feee laundry, pool, beach access, beach toys, beach chairs, afternoon snacks, refreshments 24 hours free and the blonde bartender she was amazing.

the room bathroom were run down, the air conditioner don’t work under 69 degrees and that’s hot for people like me that are coming from New Jersey. was extremely hot to sleep at night. we open the balcony at night. the shower head is in the middle of the bathroom I’m 5’7 very average and I had to put my head down and bend over in order to be able to get water into my head. like how a gentleman above that high will shower comfortable. very weird.

This was a great find! Recently renovated so clean and fresh with large rooms. We loved the beach/ocean view sunsets from our room. Only a 1/4 mile walk to be on St. Armand's Circle to enjoy plenty of food, drink and shopping. The pool was in nice condition and the bar staff for snacks and drinks there was excellent.

Beach chairs and umbrellas are not part of this resort so plan accordingly. There is a person providing rentals across the street but it's a limited quantity. If you're staying longer than two days you should just buy your own on the way into town.

I was so worried based on all the reviews - but couldn’t have been happier when we arrived to the hotel. Every room is a view room. We had a gorgeous view of the city. Easy and fun walk to Armand square. Beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel staff was friendly and everything was just perfect. I will always stay here when I come tobSarasota! The best!

A great hotel with lots of good quality amenities with a super comfy bed. The very friendly and knowledgeable staff are apparent at check in. We arrived a couple of hours before check in time and instead of having us wait like a lot of hotels. we were able to get our room. The location is fantastic! right across the street from the beach not to mention the sunset views were spectacular! We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Although it was ok, the breakfast on the top floor wasn’t in my opinion anything special. sine it’s on the 7th floor and large windows the view was terrific though!
