This was an affordable stay convenient to the beach, downtown, and shopping. We loved the heated outdoor pool. The beds were really comfortable. Even though it’s close to the airport there was little to no noise from planes. The bar next door seemed to be a big hit for lots of people.

We really enjoyed our stay at this mid-century gem in Sarasota, a stone’s throw from the airport and an easy drive downtown and to the beaches. The room was spacious, clean, and we especially loved the comfortable beds and linens. The retro bar is great fun as well. And the staff is top-notch.
