Lovely owners Great location. Great pricepoint, comfortable bed.
The room was clean and I had no issues. Fairly nondescript but it was in a good location. Seem very safe in the area and was close to a lot of different things

Look. It’s close to Sarasota Airport, but not worth more than $99 a night.

The staff was very friendly and it was relatively clean. The Inn has been there for a long time, so it’s by no means new, but overall it was clean and what you might expect from a his era motel. Turn the fan on and you can hardly hear the outside noise and planes at night
Clean and fresh room, comfortable bed. Friendly owners. Air conditioning working well.
Pool closed. No ice machine but, owners provided ice. Loud traffic, air conditioning muffled noise some. I would stay again for a quick stay.
Surprisingly nice considering the cost. I don't typically go low end on my stays but at the hour I flew in to Sarasota and being the flamingo was close to a client I had to visit in the morning, this is where I stayed. Not the cleanest, not the most up to date, but was one of the better beds I've slept in any hotel this year so far. They actually have real size pillows and not those postage stamp size ones the chains have. No Frills but a cheap stay.
There are many options available in the area, but this property had the best ratings over others by a lot and that was the reason why I picked it.
This is an older property, but very well maintained and loved. Rooms are upgraded and spotless clean and the owner was friendly and accommodating. Rooms could use some touch up paint job that is about. I will definitely stay here again.
