Our room was indeed spotless, except for the bathroom. The shower head was leaking when we got there, and I'm guessing the house keepers decided the way to quiet the drip was to throw a towel on the shower floor. It wasn't. It was still loud, and now we have to take care of a wet towel that's been in the floor for who-knows how long. Even though house keeping came back and gave us clean towels and took the used ones, they left that disgusting wet one in the shower, and we had to step around it. Also, we were in 308 and getting our car out of the lot, especially with many others, was a hassle. It seems to me they're would be an outlet at that end of the parking area.

It’s listed as a resort hotel but truthfully it is a normal motel/hotel. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the facilities but resort gives the idea of a lush all-inclusive vacation spot. The rooms are simple, well kept and nice enough but not a true resort-style room. The staff were friendly and helpful. So it was a nice hotel to stay at in Sarasota but not a resort.

The shower was hot but had terrible pressure. Also, it was a walk in shower with nowhere to put our shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. - no ledge or anything. A $5 shower caddy would have made all the difference. We were forced to put everything on the floor. Receptionist was friendly.

Best motel I've stayed in. Super clean. Felt safe despite it not being the best area and no impediments to area entry. Rain prevented pool experience. I don't drink but if I did the Tiki Bar seemed amazing. Invite me back at a discount and I will consider 5 stars.
