I was given a wheelchair accessible room with a roll in shower and a low closet. I didn’t need any of those features so I was a bit disappointed. My room was also directly across the hall from a mechanical room. Who did I piss off?!? Not impressed with the Westin Sarasota.

The service and experience was excellent from the valet to the rooftop pool and everything in between. We were celebrating a birthday and the Westin went above and beyond to make special. Thank you Caleb and the entire Westin team.

This Westin is just ok compared to other Westin’s we’ve stayed in. The carpet looks old and dreary. There is some mold around the shower base. The walls are paper thin. We heard our neighbors most of the night. And again early in the morning. Staff is very pleasant. Nice private beach with watercraft to rent.
