Fantastic amenities. Pool with cabanas and plentiful outdoor seating we’re superb. Great fire pit and grills too. Proximity to a Nathan Benderson park was a major plus, the couple of minutes walk to the park was great. Provided a great option for early morning walk or jog in a gorgeous setting. Plus loved that there were nearby food and shopping options. Only drawback about a 30 minutes drive to Siesta Key or Lido beaches.

The hotel is beautifully decorated. Its very clean from the lobby to the room. The room was spotless, the beds were comfortable and they supply shampoo, conditioner and body wash in their bathrooms.

The pool was another wonderful feature, clean and heated with plenty of chairs and tables. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. There are...

The room was very comfortable and clean. Checking in was a breeze. The kitchenette is perfect for cooking and just enough space for two people. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. Very home-like feeling. The room was a very nice stroll away from Siesta Key beach which is so lovely. There is a heated pool which was very nice when it was windy outside. All in all, it is a great place to stay for a relaxing time. Small grocery, restaurant and bar all in walking distance.

This is a great hotel in the heart of downtown Sarasota with a fantastic lobby and walking distance to just about anything. The lobby has a great vibe with a larger elegant bar and the staff is fantastic at check in. The rooms carry that modern vibe without being too much to get in the way of the experience. Great bedding and while I didn’t have any special view it was still a view of downtown so good city feel. Walking distance to Main Street with LOTS of local restaurants, stores,...
