My husband and I stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights in late February. My husband has stayed here for the past several years but this was the first time I was here. The room was clean and comfortable. We did not have a refrigerator or microwave in the room, but we called the desk and requested we have... More

We stayed here a night during our tour down the west coast of Florida. Unfortunately I have to say that in general Best Western hotels have lost their charm and are now all old outdated places. The room was clean but certainly not more than that. They didn't even have a flat screen TV, even a La Quinta has a... More

We stayed in this motel for two nights while in Sarasota for some sight-seeing and beach combing. We had reserved only one night, but decided to book a second night because this motel is within 4 miles of all the many attractions and beaches we wanted to see, and although it is older, it was very clean and comfortable.

To be fair, I don't usually stay at 2-star hotels, so this was not the usual accommodation I prefer. A friend and I stayed for the Sarasota 1/2 marathon and we needed simply a bed and bathroom for one night. It was average, nothing special, but served its purpose for our needs. Room and bath were clean. Beds were a... More

Stayed here a night before our drive home after a cruise. We had stayed here years ago as well. Bed was huge & comfy, room was large (esp after being on a cruise!) and quiet. TV is not a flat screen, but who goes to Sarasota to watch TV? Breakfast was small but a nice start to the morning. Good... More

We stayed there New Years eve. We were waiting to get into the house we rented in Siesta Key. The room was very musty smelling and less than clean.

There is nothing good to say about this place. Room smelled musty, the carpet was filthy, everything was dusty, the cable for the TV was run out of a big hole in the wall across the top of the dresser, etc... Spend a few extra bucks and stay at a Marriott or something. More
