We ended up at the Holiday Inn Sarasota Airport when the hotel we had booked at Siesta Key lost our reservation during Memorial Day weekend 2012. The location was definitely not what we had hoped for but every other hotel at the beach was already full to capacity during the holiday weekend. Marshall, one of the front desk associates, was...

Stayed at this hotel 5 nights to see a good friend who was just back from Afhganistan. And his company had put him up here for a month. We had our doubts, Holiday Inns can be hit and miss. Checked Trip Advisor and it looked good to me. Im a Hotel snob and have stayed at a lot of great... More

I love staying at this hotel. The decor is beatiful and the help was great. I was very impressed with the glass elevator with the water fall. Such an inviting environment that I would love to stay there again if I ever visit Sarasota again. The only thing I was a little bit disappointed in, since I'm a senior citizen,... More

Great experience (service, facilities, food, staff, room) in a fairly new (2 yr old) hotel. From the moment we were quickly & efficiently checked in, our stay just got better. New rooms with plush beds & choice of labeled "firm" & "soft" pillows was just the beginning. Wonderful in-house Sports Bar with all-day weekend happy hour ($2 drafts & $3... More

No gripes. This is relatively new hotel so rooms etc are in good condition. The interiors decor is not my style, done by a drunk astronaut, but who cares.... The grill bar is good, meals served fine, nice filet of beef. Breakfast buffet at weekend is good, & weekday breakfast menu also good. Shuttle bus to/from airport. Laundry for guests,... More

My boyfriend and I recently took a week away from New England and spent eight days in Sarasota, Florida. Being rather familiar with the area and not completely "tourists," we didn't find ourselves with the need to shell out the extra cash to stay at a beach front hotel. When we came across the listing for this hotel as we... More

What a surprise! Not like any Holiday Inn you've ever experienced. The hotel has a large, wonderful trendy atrium off the lobby. It's full of surprises wherever you look. The sports bar was so good, we ate there several times. There were also Pittsburgh Pirates staying in the hotel, as it was spring training season. The staff was exceptionally friendly... More

Check-in was friendly and fast and Scott was very helpful. The bar area was very noisy. Glad we had the 6th floor room. I must say the room was very small for a King Leisure and the air condioner fan too loud. I had to call about the coupon for breakfast the next morning as I had forgotten about that... More

This hotel is close to SRQ, trendy, friendly, and clean. The price is also great! Although you are so close to the airport, there is no noise from the planes. It is a close 15 minutes to the beach or downtown. We were greeted by a very friendly man at the front desk. We stayed for 3 nights of our... More

I must say that I have not stayed at a Holiday Inn in 30 years or more since the last one was run down and worn out. However, this HI was anything but worn out. The check-in was open and bright. The check-in process could have been faster but that was due to a alot of questions from a guest.... More
