Sarasota Beach Hotels

"Eazy check in"

"Everything about the stay itself was great but there was an issue with the hotel honoring the price I booked with through Travelocity. I always use Travelocity and have never had an issue until now. Upon checkout the front desk claimed to have a different room rate as I originally booked and paid for ahead of time. We agreed on deducting taxes and resort fees to get close to my original purchased price. Quite disappointing experience to say the least"

"Clean, updated and very well equipped! I would definitely stay here again! "

"The Golden Host Resort is an older motel that is going through renovations at the time of this review. They are working very hard to make your stay comfortable. The rooms are clean and brand new with the 60's vibe. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. The pool area is new and very nice with lounge furniture and night lighting. The resort is very much in touch and personal with their guests through texting which I used like Alexa: where is a good place for seafood or breakfast? The area is so-so and nothing is within walking distance so you will need a rental car or Uber, however there is a Tiki bar onsite that has live music on weekends. We stayed 4 nights and our stay was overall pretty good and reasonably priced. It is about 20-25 minutes from Siesta Key Beach and 12-15 minutes from downtown Sarasota and is only about half mile from Sarasota/Bradenton airport. If you are looking for an elite spa-resort this is not it. But if you just want a clean comfy place to spend a few nights then the Golden Host Resort will work and not break the bank. "

"We were looking for a place that had a resort feel but not the high prices of an on the beach resort. This place did not disappoint. Nice pool area with bar. Did some kayaking which is part of the resort fee. Highly recommend paying for balcony with water view. Will definitely stay here again. "

"Positives- Great heated pools next to a great tiki hut right on a perfect beach with beach chairs and umbrellas supplied. Negatives- not enough umbrellas at the pool, dated rooms without microwaves, long lines for food at restaurant. We seemed to always miss our chance for fresh pool towels. "
