Finally got around to trying out another coffee house on Florida's west coast. The Clever Cup in Sarasota did not disappoint. Very good latte with an extra shot and a tasty turkey and cheese sandwich in a toasted croissant. Good seating and local jewelry and art. Worth the stop and several nearby places looked interesting for later exploring.

"Pleasant check-in experience. Well maintained property. Room was small but perfect for our stay. Clean with nice amenities. Convenient location on trolley route. Wish we could've stayed longer but we'll be back!"

"What a great stay on Siesta key. Right down the street from stores and restaurants. Resort is so convenient to the beach and has great amenities like beach chairs, cooler and access to beach wagon. The only thing they don’t have is a beach umbrella so bring one or be prepared to purchase one at one of the beach stores cause there is no place to rent one. Staff was so pleasant and helpful. Will definitely be back. "

"The hotel is beautiful inside and out. It is on the gulf with its own beach. As a guest you get lounge chairs set up on the sand For $15 they will set an umbrella up for the day towels are included. A lemon water stand is by the sand and the 2 pools A tiki bar is outside for drinks and snacks and lunch with tables by the beach and pools. On the 8th floor is a five star restaurant and bar for meals and drinks in a beautiful modern atmosphere. The staff are always available to make you comfortable. Parking is self or valet your choice. My husband and I will definitely return "
