Large, clean rooms. Kids loved the pool complete with cabanas for shade surrounding it. Located in a modern, 'suburban' area of town. A bit of a drive to the beach and local restaurants in Sarasota.

New, clean, well maintained, and quite a delight. Staff is competent, and they keep the place really clean. Plenty of restaurants next door and in the mall across the street, including some simple bakery/bistros. If you can get a good price, this is a terrific find! Breakfast is ample, and there are two computers w/printers for public use in the... More

Very clean, nice rooms right across the street from the regatta entrance. Fantastic hot breakfast! The extra sleeper sofa was a real help on space. The staff was very helpful. You can walk to several restaurants as well. We'll be back!

We have stayed in all of the hotels in this area (Hampton Inn - on freeway, Fairfield-yuck), holiday inn double beds and just ok). Comfort suites is the best. Queen Beds, refrigerators, very clean rooms, best breakfast, friendly staff, etc.

We stayed here for 5 nights on our reward points in March. The staff was very friendly, rooms are clean and spacious. We mainly chose this hotel because it was non-smoking even though it was a little further from the beach than we wanted. It did work out perfectly because we were 25 minutes from Venice, Siesta Key, and LongBoat... More

I was originally supposed to stay at another hotel and it happened to be booked so I ended up here which was a little farther than I wanted. Well, to my surprise the location was great. It was close to restaurants, and stores. Also right off the expressway! The rooms were AMAZING. Way more than what I was expecting from... More

This a modern beautiful hotel!! Hot buffet breakfast, comfortable beds, very clean. Whether you stay for a night or a week it feels like home. Staff is extremely helpful and very friendly! It's right off the interstate but all the attractions are relatively close. St. Arkansas Circle is a must visit! Great place to have a date night!

If you're centered on North Sarasota or Lakewood Ranch, this is a perfect place. Clean, spacious rooms, good, free breakfast and friendly staff.

Nice, clean, near-new hotel. Granite counters and bathroom, microwave, refrigerator, free wired and wireless internet, good computers and free printer in the lobby. What's not to like? The only disappointment was the "suite" wasn't really much of a suite, per se. We expected a private sleeping area from our kids, but the room is set up more like a sitting... More
