The bed was very comfortable, the staff was great, and the bar was very fun with great original drinks. The room itself has very cute retro style decoration that definitely stands out. The shower curtain unfortunately, was a little bit on the short side so the water was not completely contained when in use. And lastly the faucet for the hand sink felt very loose. That being said, it was a great stay and will like to return.

The staff were very helpful and professional. The room wasn't as nice. The shower was dirty and the shower head had a white residue. There were holes in different things ie-the headboard, inside the bathroom door and blood stains on the bed cover

liked the room, pool, staff, and the Tiki Bar was awesome. Biggest critique would be all of our towels were frayed and falling apart.

Very close to the airport. It's an older property and not super impressive, but quiet and clean which is most important. Communication via text isn't great (half the time I wouldn't get a response and I'd end up calling or stopping by), but staff was very nice and helpful. They were so kind and gave me a free disposable toothbrush and I was so grateful as I was carless while staying there. Large smart water price was totally do-able. Overall I was pleased and would stay there again in a pinch. Thank you!

Clean room, bed a little lopsided, air not working well and a little noisy- room was comfortable but warm at night. Overall, for a small hotel we were pleased. Small area had tons of rafts etc. for use in the pool.

It is located near the places I need to visit when I'm in Sarasota. Its clean, safe and staff is very friendly. It has a funky 60s retro style and I don't need much more for a quick trip. Great price!
