Great property! Wonderful kind staff, quiet, comfortable and clean and was priced well. I loved the pool area and so close to the airport, Marinas, Beach and the Ringling Museum. Here for work, but will be back with the whole gang one of these days!

Kitschy to the max! This place had some major character and if your into the 50’s Tiki look you’ll love it. I observed it could use some TLC. Paint, cleaning, etc. but the pool was huge. Evidently they have huge parties and concerts sometimes. Lots of places to lounge by the pool but not too many shady areas. We went during the heat of the summer so it was intense. The pool was refreshing. They provide towels. There a Tiki bar on site and they had some entertainment. Free drink vouchers for the first beverage of your choice. The location was nice for getting to Sarasota, St Armand’s circle and Ana Maria Island. It was all about twenty minutes away with light traffic. Not great for walking anywhere that I could tell. If they would have had carpet rooms and the place a bit more clean I would have given a higher rating.

The location of the place was ideal for our intended purpose. Everything was mostly clean, except for the sheets underneath the covers and the blankets. We did not complain because we had our own sheets and it was late. Additionally, the lady at the front desk could have been a bit more pleasant and provided more information about the hotel.overall was a good stay

Hotel is cute and the Bahi Hut bar next door is a lot of fun. Pool is very nice. Great value for the price. A few minor suggestions: more than two pillows in a room, shower has NO place to put soap or hooks to hang towels, etc. Room also had mild mildew smell.
