Old Florida style motel property. All staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Adjacent tiki bar was a good time. Great place to unwind after a hot summer day. Live music on Friday night was nice addition. Not fancy, but clean and comfortable for a great price!

It was my first time here at this resort it was pretty nice it was clean and I like how you can just ask up front for stuff you need and they’ll give it to you and the pool is very nice just wish the hours were longer hahaha there is also a couple walking distance things to do but not too many just keep that in mind but things to do are usually not longer than 30 mins from here depending where you’re going of course

The room is really cute and very clean. Bed is comfortable and the shower worked well. The staff is great too. My only comment is that if you have a bug suitcase and end up getting a room on the second floor, it can be a bit tricky as there are no elevators. It’s just one flight of stairs though :)

Clean rooms and met all my needs for a great price. Bed was very comfortable which made for a perfect night sleep. Loved the pool area! Resort was right off the bus line (99 which was free). Loved that they had a tiki bar at the resort that allowed me to walk across the parking lot to get back to my room.

Great price for an overnight stay. Very convenient location…6 mins from SRQ. Cute room with 60’s vibe. Comfy bed and a nice shower with good water pressure. Tons of choices for local eats and entertainment. Didn’t stay long enough to enjoy the pool area, but it looked like a cool tiki setting. I’d definitely recommend this accommodation.

We had a great two-night stay. The studio was very clean and well renovated. The pool, outdoor areas, and bar were excellent, and the front desk service was outstanding. A small improvement would be to empty the trash daily, especially since housekeeping (bed making and towel changes) is not provided every day. Overall, a very good stay

I LOVED Golden Host Resort! Super easy check-in, friendly staff, and even got a complimentary drink card from the car for me and my guest to use during our stay! I loved the pool area and all the palm trees and high top tables to sit. Super relaxing g and clean. Everything was newly renovated and had a very 50s/60s tiki vibe to it and it looked great. Such a fun vibe! I would definitely stay here again!
