Perfect location

The location is perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and right on the beach is a place to get food and drinks and a restroom. And Armand's Circle is very close also. It is a 15 min Uber ride into Sarasota. It was clean. It just needs a little updating. The shower was clean but the faucets were not completely attached to the wall and getting the temp just right or getting them to shut off was tricky, the toilet was newer tho and worked well. The towels were so thin and scratchy. The second bedroom had two twin beds with only a fitted sheet and a top sheet. Also very, very thin. The other bedroom with the king bed was made up with sheets, blanket and comforter and more pillows. The living room area was cute. We needed a few things and they were delivered to us promptly. So communication was good. Overall it was good. Had everything we needed and the location is amazing. They also have some little beach chairs you can take to the beach but no beach towels as advertised. Just needs a few more upgrades and some attention to the little things. Felt very safe in the location also.

The location of this motel is prime, it’s also an inexpensive option to stay on Lido. The hot water in the shower was luke warm, I did notify the manager- but it never got hot for our stay. The shower diverter is leaking badly causing low water pressure. There is not much, if any, insulation in this motel- extremely noisy, babies crying, people talking in the room above.. it was difficult to sleep. The duct tape on the windows to close the gap of them not closing correctly, allowed for the car traffic to be very noisy as well. The standard room barely fit two suitcases, can’t imagine what the petite room offered. The Comcast cable boxes need help, they are loose w/wires all over and they cut out. The remote doesn’t work to turn the TV on/off, but it did work to change channel so long as the cable box had a good connection. Although we left there in such a hurry, the cleaning lady was kind enough to take my husbands dress shirts from the closet that he accidentally left behind and keep them safe overnight until a friend was able to get them for us. We didn’t notice They were missing until we reached our next destination and the manager was responsive when I texted asking about having them picked up. So although we would not stay here in the future, I will say the staff was helpful when I contacted them about the clothing we left behind, and also helped explain how to get the tv to stay working.

The short walk to the beach was awesome. The property definitely needs some attention. Room was nice but could use updating. Lack of access to clean towels was unhandy.

I was immediately texted after booking with a “free upgrade” to a larger condo, this should have been a red flag. The space we were “upgraded” to did not have a functioning tub, so I asked to move. We were moved to a different condo, still not my original reservation: the space we moved in to also did not have a functioning tub, the cold water knob is literally coming out of the tile and the knob just spins but water does not come on, the heat does not work, there are no extra blankets in the rooms, and the bathroom window does not close. This is not a rentable space. Do not stay here with your family. It was clean but you can not shower and you can not sleep without blankets. I called the host and she explained the shower was from hurricane damage. I asked about the cold temperature and she informed me that the air was warm enough. I asked about blankets and she said there are extra in the closets (there are none). I asked about the bathroom window, and again, she said it is hurricane damage. I asked why she felt this space was rentable and her explanation was “there is another rental down the street for $400 a night. This isn’t the Ritz Carlton.” I explained that the Ritz Carlton is only great if you can shower and sleep there, you know, with blankets. I asked her to consider a refund and she told me I should have complained upon check-in, which was approximately 11pm.

We’d do it again

Heat didn’t work the last night. The spigot from the shower was hanging off the wall and the handle to adjust the water temp was leaking right into the gap between the wall and spigot. The bathroom could have been much cleaner and mold was found where the vanities door opened at the hinge side. Bed was extremely uncomfortable and wasn’t wrapped to protect from bed begs. I was told there were 12 rooms and 12 parking spots, there were only 11, had to park in the street one night thankfully it was off season so not much traffic. Sign to business was gone after the storm. Wasn’t really sure we were at the right place initially. Property still needs a bit of cleanup outside. No room service so had to catch the person who flipped the rooms to ask for more coffee, only caught her one day. The location though, that’s the start of the show! Even after all of these things, we would stay again just for the location.

Alma the maid is wonderful. She keeps it spotless and the cleanliness and location are perfect. Bed is comfy and room is clean! Really clean..I always wear slippers in hotel rooms because the floors are never clean enough, but in this room you can have bare feet! The cons.. there are no bikes and no beach chairs. No coffee in room available even though a coffee maker. Microwave and fridge worked. But coffee is necessary. I would def stay again because of location cleanliness.

Upon arrival we found the bathroom floor so wet we had to dry it with one of the clean towels to prevent slipping. There were multiple flying bugs due the moisture in room. The TV would not turn on nor the air conditioner. Upon texting the property manager received a snippy response about tv and they managed to get air working. When we returned later the air was out again. Several texts back and forth I was told they were working on the matter. Never had air return and slept uncomfortable the remainder of the night.
