• Great location!
• A little outdated.

“This hotel is in a wonderful location, right on the beach and within walking distance to great restaurants and shops. The staff was friendly and the rooms were adequate, though a bit out-dated.”

• Walking distance to St. Armand's Circle and nice beach across a two-lane street.
• Not on the beach and not romantic or upscale for our anniversary - my mistake - I thought it was a different hotel.

“For a moderately priced hotel, it's great. Very convenient location - walking distance to restaurants and shops. Beach is across the street and it's a beautiful beach. Rooms are clean and totally adequate but if you're looking for a romantic get-away or an upscale experience, you'll have to spend more in this area.”

• The location was right on the ocean which is just what we were looking for.
• There was a roach in our bathroom and the hotel was undergoing construction.

“Housekeeping did an excellent job on our room. The hotel needs to hire an exterminator.”

• Very comfortable beds. Awesome view from the balcony. We were on the city view side but that was awesome.
• It is on the beach but you still need to cross the street to get to the beach.

“Nice, clean and most important of all, the beds were super comfortable.”

• I loved the ocean view.
• The hotel needed a few updates.

“The hotel was within walking distance to the beach, which was great. However, the drain in the shower and sink didn't drain fast enough, so someone had to be called. The bathroom ceiling was discolored and wasn't appealing. The bathroom was way too small. Te curtains had something brown on them and didn't look to clean. I would've rather spent more money for a nicer room because this wasn't worth the money. Other than the room, the staff helped with all my requests.”

• Location to the beach and St. Armands Circle (Shopping).
• The elevator noise was terrible. Awoke early every day.

“The hotel surpassed our expectations. Much nicer than we expected. The Gulf views from the restaurant were beautiful. And just a short walk away is the shopping at St. Armands Circle. Lido Beach is a beautiful location. It was room on the back side of the hotel. It must have been right against the mechanical room for the elevators. The noise woke us early every morning. Sometimes the room shook. I had asked earlier for a different room but was told the hotel was full. (However, after Saturday night the hotel parking lot seemed only half full.) Other than that, we were pleased with our stay.”

• Very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way.
• Their coffee was a little bitter. A Great Place to stay.

“They were excellent in their friendliness and hospitality. Rooms were clean. Parking was free and safe. Staff was wonderful. View of beach and ocean was amazing. Asked for a late departure and they said, "yes" immediately. Made for a very enjoyable stay. Would most definitely stay there again.”

• Great location and view of the Gulf.
• I would replace the plastic furniture on all the balconies.

“The location of this hotel is within walking distance of St Armbands Circle which is the hub of activity in Sarasota. The view of the Gulf of Mexico from the room was beautiful and the sunsets from the balcony were worth the cost of the room. The staff was courteous but not intrusive. The room was clean. I had a great experience and will stay there again.”

• The room was more spacious than we expected. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful.
• Nothing specific that we didn't like.

“This hotel is very conveniently located to one of the best places to eat and shop (St. Armand's circle) that you'll find in this part of Florida. It's across the street from the beach, but there's nothing on the other side of the road, so you can look out at the beach if you have a beachside room. It's a very lovely beach, with white sugar sand. The room was nicely furnished and clean. We didn't use the bar or restaurant, so can't speak to them. Very good value for the money, we felt.”

• Location on Lido Beach; proximity to St. Armaund Circle (upscale shopping & dining), convenient to Downtown Sarasota.
• Mattress was worn out.

“Excellent Location on Lido Beach; within walking distance to St. Armaund's circle (upscale shopping & dining), and convenient to Downtown Sarasota. Room decor is about what you would expect for a Holiday Inn.”

• Staff was friendly and helpful.
• Ac allowed great changes in temperature. Could not get the wireless internet connection to work.

“Great location near St. Armand's circle and lido beach. The staff could not help me get the wireless internet connection to work & the ac did not keep the room comfortably cool. The room was clean & pleasant and the bed was comfortable. But the room needed touch ups in spots. However the staff was friendly & helpful.”

• You can sign out beach chairs and towels so there no need to bring or buy your own.
• On site eating options were pretty slim.

“This was a nice place to stay and great if youre going to enjoy a day at the beach. Right up the street from the circle and across the street from the water. Great pool and poolside bar to get a drink and cool off from the sun.”
