Nasty

The window in the shower would not close all the way. The window in the small room had tape all around it on the outside. The bathroom door would not close all the way and the front door you had to push on the really hard to lock it. They also tried to charge us a cleaning fee up front. They kept trying to charge us different fees. I finally told them I would only pay what I was quoted online and nothing more.. This is the worst place I ever stayed at.

Good for the price.

I went to help my daughter move into her dorm and get set up. I stayed 6 days in the hotel. It was clean and the maid came every day with new towels. The manager was very pleasant and helpful. I had to ask for the WiFi password, but everything was as expected for the price and the location.

STAY AWAY

this place is a dump it looks nothing like the pictures, i usually read the reviews and get an idea of the place, did not this time and paid for it. first i reserved what was supposed to be a non smoking room, this room smelled so bad of stale smoke the bedspread was full of burn marks, some guy came wondering around to 3-4 different rooms looking for his drug dealer another guy asked if i was looking for a girl for the night. it looks like they arew trying to fix the place up but it doesnt seem to be working. i usually don't expect much i knew i wasn't renting a room at the hilton but this place should be closed down i really cant think of anyplace else i've ever stayed that was this bad

The most horrible place to stay in Sarasota!

This was worse than Bates Motel in the movies. The room was horrible, it had a terrible odor, it was very unclean, there was no wifi as indicated in the advertisment, there was no cable with multiple channels, there wasn't even a telephone in the room and the floor was full of dirt spots, dust and papers left over from the previous person. The smell was the worst though. The stairs to the second floor where rusted and the whole place looked like it was not taken care of. I would not recommend this place to anyone, friend or foe.
