We booked it because of low pricing and appealing pics. We stayed one night. First impression was horrible, room mold smelling, inner part of toilet cover with dry urine. We decided to return to hotel late, just to take a shower and sleep, hopefully, checking out earlier next morning and leaving that "Hell" behind. However, the bathtub started flooding as... More

Room was clean and property seemed reasonably well maintained but old and very dated. Complimentary breakfast was no more than coffee, juice, toast, or cereal. No refrigerators or microwaves in room. If on trip with wife or family, you probably will want to stay somewhere else. More

Hotel was too expensive for what you got even considering it was prime Spring Break season and whatever you do don't venture in to the Bahi Bar at the front of the hotel yikes. Oh and did I mention the prostitute across the street turning tricks, be carefull with this place. On a positive note the staff was helpful and... More

Iesha, (hotel manager) blocked out 11 rooms for my baseball team 2 weeks prior to our first tournament in Sarasota. Upon arrival we had discovered that the hotel manager decided to sell our hotel rooms to Spring Breakers and left us with 2 small rooms for the entire 11 player baseball team + their families! After driving from across the... More

My friend and I purchased a 2 nite stay online at one of the travel sites for 175. including taxes which was a good deal. The room was clean and fairly good size, but there were no refrigerators or microwaves in the room. The beds weren't that comfortable, but I have slept in worse ones, the pillows were bad though....

Stayed a few days, room was clean, water pressure wasn't so great. Basically empty so we had the pool to ourselves! Beautiful grounds, good locations, but definetly what you would expect from a motel. Would stay again. More

We made reservations to stay here last Saturday night to visit the beach after a Disney vacation. When we arrived, they told us they were overbooked, and had no rooms available. Thank goodness for that! It was run down, the parking lot was in pieces, and there was very little light outside. My husband talked to the woman at the... More
