So, we booked this looking at the pictures and reading the reviews. When we checked in our room had broken air conditioning.... the place looked tired and two parties were taking place and it was loud... we asked for another room... there wasn't one... we asked for our money back and were told to call Expedia. Went to another hotel knowing they would sell the room again. Called Expedia and was told this property wanted a $350 fee to refund the $250 we paid for the room? Ridiculous. Expedia said it was beyond their control... lesson learned... no more Expedia... buyer beware!

Great location and price

The room was small but perfect for what we needed. The location is amazing especially if you want to see a lot of places. It was easy to get to Lido Beach, Siesta Keys and Tampa. Staff were willing to do anything we needed and the Tiki Hut bar and pool area are really nice. Very affordable and super easy to come in and out whenever we needed.

Nice old Florida charm

Didn't want to stay in the cookie cutter hotels so found this gem. Comfortable, clean, nice heated pool with lots of poolside seating. Very close to downtown and other attractions. Cute microwave and refrigerator with FREEZER! Quiet yet on a main road.

All the staff were very friendly and easy to approach with questions and concerns. The rooms were decent. The only complaints were a smell of mold when we first came into the room. But overall it was a nice stay just for one night.

I loved the pool-house ambiance of our balcony room. The grounds are well kept I would definitely stay again and bring friends! You have to bring food or order food. Some food options are only a short walk away.

Old style motel with nice staff.

Kitchy place with some character. Staff was very nice, and pool area beautiful. However the rooms - notwithstanding the cute retro fridge and microwave - are small, not particularly comfortable, and lacking in some basics: decent soap, even a soap holder for the shower area, a quiet air conditioner that is adjustable in terms of where it blows, etc.

Fun, vintage hotel. Large rooms and very clean. Reminded me of key west in the 60s/70s, but updated rooms. We don’t get a chance to enjoy the pool or barn but both looked clean and fun! On property, check in staff was very nice. Would definitely recommend as a reasonably priced stay in the area.

Excellent staff, nice clean hotel in a location that feels like is a little separated from most of Sarasota's best and most popular destinations (with Ringing Museum being the obvious exception). I do wish their tiki bar would have food at night, especially if I'm trying to not have to go out again for dinner, but that's not a dealbreaker.
