This review is written as a courtesy to other travelers & constructive feedback to property management. I booked 3 nights and expected budget accommodations that were clean. To be fair, technically it mostly was. The check in was friendly and the room was private, quiet and accommodating. What startled me tho was a discoloration on the comforter that looked like something bad happened. The manager came to my room and confirmed it was clean, just a dye misprint from the time it came out of the package. I was hoping for a swap of comforters or even a sheet to put over it since the appearance was very disturbing. At least I knew it was clean & could put it inside out so I didn’t have to look at it. The sheets were old, stained and had cigarette burns. At least they were clean. However they were so old and over washed over time that they were clingy, very uncomfortable. The pillow itself was old and smelled like dirty scalp. The odor kept me up. Instead of checking out, I decided to purchase sheets & pillows to use there & then take home. That helped a lot. Next issue: toilet paper. Day one, a little over half a roll of budget paper, no spare roll. I figured they would at least provide a spare roll when they cleaned the room. They didn’t. Morning of day 3, we ran out. Good thing I had a package of tissues in my bag. I left a note asking for more TP & they did provide a new roll & a spare. Last issue: hard powdered coffee creamer all 3 days. Overall I felt a lack of hospitality.

There is no pool. The room was clean but the phones in the rooms were not working. The mini fridge freezer was not cold enough to make ice. The packages with sweetener and powdered cream were so old the “cream” was hard.

I appreciated. The bedding was like mine from home. There was a beautiful water color painting above my bed and the shower was a cool retro Florida thing. They were quiet. It was refreshing and cafe italia arabica coffee, Central American decaf & black tea stocked w/ cute apple fragrance Salon Selectives bath stuff which I hadn’t seen in awhile

So the reasoning for me giving the staff and property condition one star is I'm a heavy set female and over the last year and my spouse have been staying in hotels around Sarasota I've never had a hotel complain that I broke their bed when it came time for them to send me back my $100 deposit granted my spouse went and ready to room earlier on in the day to surprise me with being able to see him when I did arrive and he took my ID to the office they mentioned to him that the last room that we stayed in they need their deposit back because I broke their bed why would you give me my deposit back and then wait until we visit again to then tell me you broke our bed your when I left now the room that my husband is in is 111 and him being skinnier male maybe about 150 the bed's cracking and popping. This place is doing everything possible to keep the deposits or make you pay extra so my opinion is if you're a heavy set don't stay here because they will accuse you of breaking their beds because the beds they have aren't sturdy I didn't even stay the night with my husband I sit in the chair for a few hours watch TV with them wouldn't even lay down on the bed next one because the bed isn't sturdy and I wasn't getting on it and getting accused of breaking the bed again when I didn't even break the first damn one

The pool is filled in with concrete. No hair dryer in the room. The owners seemed pleasant. It just is what it is.
