It is located near the places I need to visit when I'm in Sarasota. Its clean, safe and staff is very friendly. It has a funky 60s retro style and I don't need much more for a quick trip. Great price!

Doors to the rooms had a gap in them! Was taken to two other rooms and had the same problems! Patio had mold on it from the water draining onto the patio floor! I could not believe that hotel.com showed a rating of 8.4 for Golden Host, which it should be rated at a 5.0. Hotel.com should verified hotel that they advertise for, to assure people that hotel.com have our back!
