Great location - short walk to Main Street. Very comfortable. Pool is nice. We didn’t find the staff very helpful. No tourist information on hand in the hotel. Went for happy hour drinks but none of the beers on the list were available. Breakfast was very limited

Didn’t give me the room they advertised and that I paid for, a charge for 50 bucks for who knows what.
I was really impressed with this property. Excellent walkable location, affordable, nice common areas and bar, and fabulous pool!! We weren't even there on the days when the pool bar was open, that would be even better! Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Sarasota.
The property is in a great location on the quieter edge of downtown Sarasota, but within a 3 block walk of all the activities on Main Street. The facilities were new and nice. The ONLY complaint I have is that you need separate light switches for the shower/toilet room vs. the sink and vanity area. If there were two separate light switches, someone could use the restroom or shower without automatically turning on the light near the sink and vanity which shines in the main portion of the room waking up other sleeping individuals.
We were welcomed by Alexis upon arrival and she was awesome. Super kind and detailed and went above and beyond. Let us check in at 11:30 and gave us a room with a great view. The valet guys did a great job and were always very energetic and professional. Always smiling and ready to assist. And at the inside bar was Jacob. Awesome guy who did a great job and was super social and knowledgeable about the area. Kept the glasses full and was very attentive.
The room was perfect and we enjoyed the pool table and the cleanliness. But the staff make it a 10 for us. We never met anyone who didn’t go above and beyond to make sure we were cared for. They are shining examples of what takes businesses to a whole different level of customer satisfaction.
Keep it up Aloft. We will certainly be back. We visit Sarasota often and love your hotel.
