“Beautiful medium sized hotel in the middle of Sarasota.”
Room was large and comfortable, facilities were good with lovely roof top pool. Hotel was clean and had nice artwork throughout, they even had art seminars that you could join. Was presented with a rum cocktail on arrival which started our stay well.
