Food was delicious. The only issue is we only had two days of 28 with a heated pool. When evening temperatures dipped to 47 degrees the water was awlful. Many people complained to the hotel staff but there was no rush to fix it. Our room was most enjoyable. ##### Randy M. Stayed 28 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony B.

Excellent outside lighting and camera coverage. Stay was quiet and comfortable. The decor made the space feel warm and relaxing. Consider listing within the space or electronically which amenities are inclusive and check-out guidelines. This information was not clear to me, therefore to avoid hidden fees I did not consume items in the space. ##### Anthony B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott K.

Listing could have provided details on snacks and items in fridge … didn’t know if they were included/complimentary or if I’d be charged if consumed so didn’t eat any of the items. Check in was good and staff friendly. Restaurant on site was busy with live music Friday and Saturday. We were NOT happy with their service on Saturday night as they “lost?” our order as several others who arrived long after we did received their food. We sat there for over an hour waiting and finally walked out. ##### Scott K.

We appreciated the provided snacks & beverages. Plenty of towels in the bathroom, every small appliance that you might need in the efficiency kitchen. Beware of the spray from the bathroom sink, hard to avoid soaking the counter. Selected this property partly due to it's proximity to the Sarasota airport, but be aware that flights start about 6AM, will wake you up, & are continuous. SRQ is not the sleepy airport that it was a few years ago. Parking area a bit seedy. Party atmosphere at pool & bar. Would not be a good choice for a family with young kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay. ##### James F.
