First of all the pictures that are used for this property do not show what the property really looks like, very deceiving! We reserved a King suite with kitchenette, the sink was not hooked up or even had a drain! Our room was dirty when we checked in, the floor made our feet black, there was hair from the previous guest on the shower floor. So much for cleanliness during COVID times. We complained to the manager and all they did was refund us $30.00!! This place is NOT a resort by any means as advertised. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM THIS PLACE!

Hi Ms. Keenan, I'm sorry to see you were not satisfied. I believe the General Manager addressed the issue within the hour when you reported it and you were offered a full refund but you elected to stay and requested this specific discount. Unfortunately, sometimes our staff makes mistakes and like many small businesses, we're suffering a shortage of staff. That's no excuse though and the few issues we face, we always address immediately.

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.

Rooms had been really well top to bottom remodeled , pool was really nice and clean and they were working hard on the lobby. Loved the 1953 tiki bar, so cool and unique. Staff was great and provided snacks, pool towels, whatever was needed. They will have the whole place re done soon so go get you some old Florida!
