Hotel is in a great location just off Anna Maria Sound. Two restaurants on site (one in hotel, one next door). Convenient to drive, walk, or run along the water. The room was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

We booked our stay through Expedia after reading the reviews and checking the area. Name recognition was another reason. The staff was knowledgeable about the area and knew how to treat their guests. Breakfast was a big plus. Most places we go advertise free breakfast which generally is a disappointment. Not so at the Compass. Perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon potatoes, and spinach frittatas. I almost forgot the breads, muffins, oatmeal, assorted fruit, coffee and tea. Fit for a king. Our room has a king bed and a large bathroom with a shower. The room was spotless and it smelled fresh. Not artificially fresh either. Parking is available in the front and on the side of the building. If the weather was warm we would have spent a lot of time at the pool.
