"The property wasn’t the one in the advertisement…. It was advertised as “the Gyp-Sea” but it was actually “the last Hoorah! It was not very clean , the toilet was broken, there was things stored in the bathroom and also in the shower , so we were unable to even go in either! The loud generator on the boat was almost out of gas. The 4 workers that took 2 trips to get us on the boat were the only good thing about this .

Weirdly one of the very best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. It was superb in every way. Comfy, quiet, great A/C, immaculately clean, great lighting, lovely shower, it really does an excellent job of being a hotel. Breakfast was lovely and the area which you eat was welcoming and comfortable, I wish I had a reason to stay again :)

Upgraded to single king suite when we arrived as we were staying for 3 days. Loved our room. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Most accommodating!!!! Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

This is a fantastic hotel for spending time in Sarasota. It has a cool, modern and upscale vibe; it’s well located with easy access to all major amenities, including the beautiful Lido Beach.

Hôtel est d'une propreté exceptionnelle, tout est propre lobby, ascenseur,passage, les chambres ainsi que la terrasse et piscine extérieur. Un des Hôtel les plus propre que j'ai fréquenté !
Les deux seuls petits points négatifs pour moi, le déjeuner est " basics " comme a bien des endroits d'ailleurs mais par contre la salle a manger est super propre et j'ai trouvé le matelas un peu mou a mon goûts mais certain vont adoré. À recommandé sans hésiter !

Very good hotel just could be closer to the beach because it takes 30 mins to drive overall very good hotel. Also great breakfast options and everday they give complementary free cookies.
