Look someplace else!!!

It was not as clean as it should be. There was a long hair on bed pillow and my daughter wanted to leave. Then the bathroom had hair on the floor.The maid came in and only made one bed, because the was a bag on the bed i guess.I would stay someplace else for the money we spent.

We arrived early and was able to get an early check in. This property is located about 20 mins from the airport and is seemingly quiet even with the traffic on the main road. The restaurant in front of the property isn't very good, but there are other options nearby. The staff were friendly and seen all around the property. People were consistently looking after the property which was nice to see. The room seemed clean, however the carpet left our slippers dirty and 2 of us woke up with huge red bites on our arms. I can confirm, after visiting a medical professional, they were spider bites. But we were left to finish our trip with itchy, oozing bites on us. The property itself is a little dated but you can clearly see efforts are being made to update things. The pool was nice and convenient. They also partnered with a local free shuttle service. Be sure to have cash on hand as the drivers do encourage a $3-5 tip per passenger. I did not have cash one ride and the driver was not happy at all. Uber is a good alternative that costs about the same. I would recommend this property for an overnight stay, but if you are looking for a longer stay, I would probably go with another property. While this property is conveniently located in between family friendly attractions in Sarasota and the white sand beach of Siesta Key, it left us a little lacking.

The hotel is very nice. It's near a plaza with shops and small restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast could have been a little better. I mean, scrambled eggs instead of boiled eggs. Other than that, it was okay.
