We tried to stay at this hotel with a group of family and friends after a big celebration...BAD IDEA. Almost all of the reservations were wrong: wrong name, wrong floor, smoking room for non smokers or no room at all. The night receptionist was totally unprofessional, rude and ABSOLUTELY not willing to help the situation and so is the general... More

Second time I've stayed here. I LOVE that my dog is welcome, and they go out of their way to make sure room has easy access to outside, and anyone not wanting to be near a dog is accommodated. breakfasts are ok and standard fare. if you don't like the selection, the cracker barrel is within walking distance (about 1...

We stayed here while visiting family for the Easter Holiday and we would stay here again. It was clean, nice breakfast, and friendly staff. Great location for visiting the beaches in the area . We took a ride to Manasota Key and found several shark teeth....what a great weekend! Close to the Cracker Barrel and i75. I would definetly recommend... More

I agree with the positive comments from other helpful reviewers but it should be noted that this hotel can get real busy in season and there is only one elevator. Not a problem for some but can be annoying if you have to get to a higher floor during the morning rush to the breakfast bar. The attendant at the... More

The hotel is close to the interstate but far enough away that it isn't noisy. The front desk attendant was cordial and helpful. The rooms were decent sized and clean. The breakfast area was large and had a hot breakfast available with bacon, eggs (reconstituted) and sausage gravy and biscuits. It wasn't bad considering it wasn't a restaurant. The carpet... More

Stayed 3 days and used the motel as a base for beach and other sight seeing trips in the area. Good breakfast with homemade cinnamon rolls. Right off I-75 on exit 193. About 5 miles from 2 beaches. The Caspersen Beach is the better of the 2. Walk out to the pier and watch the fishermen. More

Unfortunately, I had to travel to Florida to bring my mother back home to CT after she suffered a bad fall while vacationing with friends. I hadn't slept well before I left, worrying about the challenges ahead. I arrived in Venice ahead of my check-in time, but the kind lady at reception was willing to find a room that was... More

Hotel is very nice, have stayed there 3 years running. if you are a non-smoker, DO NOT TAKE A ROOM ON THE FOURTH FLOOR. The non-smoking rooms up there are fine once you get in them, but the hallway reeks of smoke and pets. Once in the room, there is no smoke smell, an the room was fine, but getting... More

The property was very clean as expected. We did not expect the exceptional service from both Ernie in the breakfast area and Bridget as we checked in and later when we realized we had left one of our bags. Even to the Mr Ping Chinese Restaurant advice. A fine and restful stopover. Only one suggestion... a Jacuzzi would be a... More
