This is a property that appears to be in a time warp, or maybe on life support, as other reviewers have mentioned. Maybe the owners are holding out for eventual buy-out as Tamiami Trail gets developed further. In any case, the ship is not leaking water and sinking here, but damage control is adequate. The front desk area is minimal,... More

This place seems to have received mixed reviews, but I found it very comfortable. It was the first Super 8 I stayed in with my family, and it left a positive impression. The room was large and had two decent beds, a tv, fridge and coffee maker. The WiFi didn't work very well in the room though, so I used... More

Very average motel. Basically what you expect from a Super 8. Decent size room with comfortable bed, big TV with LOTS of channels. No extra frills, but adequate. Basic breakfast. Had a problem in the bath - reported it and it was fixed that day. Not as cheap as I would prefer, but good value compared to other options in... More

This Super 8 was clean and comfortable. It compared most favorably with other motels where we've paid twice as much. I give it four stars for that. The people in the office were busy but helpful. The only negative, we were supposed to be able to get wifi but couldn't connect in our room. We didn't pursue it because it... More

There was also some sort of mishap that... More

We were very suprised when we walked into our room at the Super 8 in Sarasota. If all the Super 8's are like this I will start using the chain. It was close to the airport and had very comfortable bedding. I don't usually review hotel's and motel's but this franchised definitely deserved it. The proximity to Siesta Beach made... More

Dear Roadwarrior, We are so glad you found us at our perfect location, near both the airport and the beaches. Our mattress are just a few months old, hope you noticed our other guest room upgrades as well. Thanks for staying, see you again soon More

Sandwiched in between the $200 a night big chain hotels to the north by the airport and the astronomically chic condos of downtown Sarasota, the old 50's and 60's motel strip is still hanging on, but just barely. Similar boarded up motels are waiting for the wrecking balls of future condos and high-priced resorts. For the budget traveller the saving... More

The motel itself was a typical somewhat rundown location, but at least the room was clean. The breakfast was very poor, nothing to brag about. The bedsheets did not look fresh, but maybe they were just crumbled. My problem with that location rests with something different. I had booked through Super 8 and got a good rate that had to...

We reviewed the accomodations for this hotel on line and when we came to Sarasota, visted the hotel to check out the rooms. They showed us room 118 which is a lovely room. Its the room they show on the website but it's not the room you will get when you register. Our room was awful, the beds were lumpy,... More
