Give this (very) old property a pass

This run-down hotel badly needs renovation. The property is very old and wears every year, poorly. Not dilapidated, but nearly. Very overpriced for what you get. Think: gaps in the doorframes that make rooms feel "open", poorly-ventilated and musty rooms that need to have the A/C cleaned, bathroom doors that nearly hit the toilet, and an overall shabby appearance. It is directly on a main road and driving access is very tricky if there is any traffic. It is unfortunately under the flight path for the airport, so you can wave at passengers when the engine noise disturbs you, if that's your thing. The free breakfast is basic: eggs + bacon/sausage + potatoes & waffle / pancakes. The service, however, was great. Nice, delightful people doing what they can. That was a highlight for sure. We had some small issues and the desk staff were very kind and helpful. The rest of the ground & housekeeping staff seemed welcoming and happy to help whenever we ran into them.

We booked it based off the many good reviews and ended up leaving early. We experienced This hotel is handing out cards for reviews. The room was small and the bathroom was dirty. Mold, black hairs and very outdated. Hard beds and loud people outside at all hours of the night. The only thing that made me give two stars was the pool and decent breakfast. We were very disappointed but glad the staff let us checkout early and find a new hotel.

Disappointed

The pictures showed a resort type atmosphere with tiki huts in a Marina, but it didn’t show its in the flight path for Sarasota airport and every three minutes a jumbo jet Was landing and the next morning I woke to hear a jet taking off around 5 AM. If you do stay there, definitely stay on the water side because if you stay on the roadside, you’ll be up all night with the An hour noise from the traffic.Not all the rooms have a private balcony only a few.
