I love staying here when I go to Sarasota. I never rent a car because I can walk downtown. Near restaurants and shopping. The rooms are clean, the beds are really comfortable and it's really quiet.

Testimonials:
"Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely use your site in the future. This was my first time setting up a conference for a government agency so I have learned a lot. By having the hotels bid for business or at least advise if they could accommodate was a HUGE time saver. I started by throwing darts at hotels in certain locations and cold calling them before I found your website! I really appreciate yours and the teams help." C.B. - Denver, CO
