  While the room was nice and comfortable, the bathroom needs work.

  Unfortunately, even though we personally liked the manager, Tristan, we are leaving very unhappy and feeling that we did not receive what we paid for and what was advertised. Stayed first night and everything was very good and as expected. Tristan was a great representative for the hotel. Because of his attitude and great demeanor we felt very welcomed and appreciated. Day after we checked out, we decided to come back for 2 more nights. Things took turn at this point. We were checked in to a room with smelling like body odor pillows, used sheets, and very clearly unvaccumed floors. New room was assigned without any issue and were able to quickly shower before getting a new room. Exhausted from the day was moved to another room, 4 floors up. Now sheets were clean and so were the floors. But one of the shower heads did not work, the other one had barely any water pressure making it a very long process to rinse off properly. The worst part was that I was standing in the bathtub up to my ankles in drain water. Quite disgusting. Decided to not bother the night shift and go to bed and address the situation with Tristan the following day. After expressing my disappointment and stating we need to stay one more night in town, I was offered a $80 rate as a recompensation for the inconvenience and unpleasant experience. That was a little over $10 discount versus online rate that I was paying. So we decided not to take the offer and leave. Also earlier that day, I asked about late check out with lady at the front desk and she said "There arent any available!". Proceeded to question why can't I stay an extra hour. She answered with, "You can, but it will be extra $20" and that's what I got after I spent 3 out of 4 nights there and even purchased meals at their lobby restaurant. Very strange interaction which at the end resulted in not being charged for late check out. The hotel at the time was already pretty much empty, at night there were maybe 5 cars, so I am confused why not put more effort in making sure your guests leave happy and satisfied by their purchase. Besides that unpleasant personal experience, there was also a pool filter that wasn't running and the pool ended up being full of dead insects and small debris. Pool area had leaves around the hot tub area and bunch of ants. No ashtrays in designated smoking areas leading to people being surrounded by cigarette butts. There was an empty coffee cup and medical blue glove down the hall for almost 2 days, looking like a kidnapping scene. Unfortunately it started off very promising and ended up being another disappointing experience in an low average hotel.

  Tried to leave a review with my other account but it may have got deleted…. I stayed here last week for work. It was only for one night but it was a great hotel. Ana at the front desk was amazing and went above and beyond for me. Vicki in housekeeping was absolutely fantastic. No matter what I asked for they were all so accommodating! Rooms were okay for the price and the restaurant dinner menu was delicious. Loved Makayla at the bar. Business doesn’t bring me to Sarasota too often but I’ll definitely stay here again if I can
