Palmetto, Florida hotel rooms at the Independent

"Restaurant & bar staff, service staff & Cabana beach service is outstanding ! Beach access is unmatched ! White flour soft sand ! However the Parking lot access to hotel was obstructed by several large service delivery trucks ! This is unacceptable & a very bad look ! This needs to be resolved! A simple parking lot wall & delivery row parallel to building is the obvious fix.!"

"I love staying here when I’m in Sarasota. The rooms are efficient. The work out facility is outstanding with circuit training, free weights, Peloton, stair master, tread. The breakfast is plentiful. The staff are friendly. And the price is excellent. A great value. I look forward to my next visit. "

"When we first drove up we thought this facility was going to be subpar because it looked rather old. However, the rooms were adorable and it was just a short was just a short walk down to Siesta Beach. "

"The staff was very courteous and accommodating. The room was clean and the facilities were very nice. Unfortunately it was probably the coldest it’s been in Florida for quite some time so we didn’t get to use the pool, although it was open and maintained every day. "

"It was clean and the beds were comfortable. Lots to do everyday. Would definitely revisit."

"The suite was clean and comfortable, and the hotel staff were corteous."

"Amazing location with the most friendly staff: everyone from the front desk to the servers to the pool attendants to the cleaning staff were all helpful with genuine smiles. The option of an adult only pool & hot tub area was a nice touch. Great restaurants on site and a convenient (and free!) shuttle to downtown area were especially appreciated in the chilly weather. Chairs on the private beach with free towels are also convenient with bar service provided to the area as well. Room was spotless with all the amenities we could want. We loved our stay!"

"Everything was great!!"

"Everything was great except the cold, rainy weather!"
