We stayed here in Venice Florida for 3 days and decided to stay at the best western. Last year we stayed at the Best Western in Sarasota which is only another 10 min drive from this location. I must say this hotel is ALOT nicer and cleaner. The rooms all have queen size beds and are very spacious. The staff... More

We got married in Sarasota and stayed at the Best Western Midtown and put our bridal party up there as well. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Could be updated, but overall no major complaints. Also conveniently located to many attractions - Pretty much in the center of Sarasota for whatever you want to do. More

If you're expecting some marvelous Resort or Hotel like a Hilton or anything else then you're staying at the wrong place. The rooms are nice for what they are, it has comfy beds, the staff is very friendly and I would definitely stay here again. The person staying next to us was kind of odd to be honest, but they...

My wife and I stayed the night of April 24, 2012. The staff was very friendly and courteous and the service was excellent. Our room was like new and was very comfortable. The coffee maker, refrigerator, and television all worked perfectly. The location is midway between Siesta Key beach and Lido Island beach and is adjacent to a shopping center... More

Rooms are little outdated, but was clean and had no big problems. Did have some little problems with the breakfast though. The pool was fine and the property has some really nice landscaping. Overall, it's at a great location for an even better price. More

Spent two nights in March. Mattress was fine but attempts to gloss over the sad state of the room with a bit of Target-purchased decor were fruitless - this place is in need of a full reno. The carpets and walls are shabby and the tub area so mildewy I couldn't bring myself to shower there. Breakfast was equally repugnant;... More

I stayed here for business last week, and was pleasantly surprised. I had never stayed at a Best Western before. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The location is great, too. Also, though I didn't get to enjoy it, the pool was just redone. I would definitely return. More
