    The elevator wasn't working for several weeks had to walk up and down stairs some of rooms had chewed up furniture from dogs some rooms outdated with rusty lamps towels had hair in them some housekeeping staff didn't speak English so hard to communicate when extra towels were needed.

    The breakfast was decent

    Paid way too much to stay in a room with roaches.

    There was work being done on the first floor hallway and it felt like staying in a construction zone including the door’s security latch breaking off in 3 pieces in my hand. There were roaches in the room, which is actually the top reason I don’t think I could stay there again when returning to sarasota.

    Location & proximity to my daughter’s dorm.

    • King Studio Suite - Non-Smoking
    • Stayed 1 night

    We had a king suite which did not have a working TV in the living room (fixed later by housekeeping but couldn't use the next morning), 1 light in the main room was unplugged but no outlet to plug into, the telephone wasn't working (but who uses those anyway), and no bedding or pillows for the pullout couch (housekeeping came through for us again). There was only 3 towels and 2 wash cloths for 3 guests but could have provided more for use. We made due :).

    Overall, we enjoyed the 1 night we stayed. The room was clean and bed was comfortable and included full sized Dove body wash, shampoo, and conditioner attached to the shower wall.

    The front door was broken, and you had to slide it open and close it yourself. It seemed like a safety issue, especially since I arrived late. It wasn't secure.The front lobby was dark and dingy. The hallway where my room smelled of Marijuana.

    The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly.

    building really really needs a total upgrade. furniture in lobby, room refrigerators, smell in lobby, etc - the place really could be nice and a gem in the La Quinta collection; however, stuff is broken or rusted or in bad shape. Pool area was really not kept up nice. All was still more or less functional, but a little investment here could go a long way.

    staff great

    Not necessarily something I didn't like because it did not bother us but there was something leaking in the wall or under the floor beside one of the beds that made the floor wet.

    We loved how close we were to everything!! Eating places, the beach, gas stations, etc. The staff was very nice, the rooms were clean and functioning.

    Everything outdated the moment you walked in the building Elevator buttons cracked, I walked out of my room and walked 20’ and came back to room and my feet were black, so clean was met really clean, bed was comfortable but mirrors in main area were old and look like they had lube all over them, my friends room had all the same issue, the handicap lift for pool was broken, and I’m handicapped, couldn’t be used. The umbrelllas kept blowing away because they weren’t bolted to bottom base, the food was not that great and coffee was horrible, I come once a month to Sarasota and stay at choice hotel at fruitville road and 75, that place was clean and presentable. I’m sorry but I know only $289.00 for 2 rooms in off season but really not a great deal The whole building needs upgraded, door jams warn, the front counter was clean but looked dirty, Fernando was nice but the girl who was on before him was not nice, I’m a English only speaking client and she just left us standing at the counter for a good 45 seconds before she acknowledged our presence and who knows what she was saying because she just kept talking to Fernando and not us. Maybe the district managers should go look at those buildings? Maybe stay there one night and see how dirty it is. You guys better clean up your act or you’ll be the new motel 6.

    It was dirty. When staying on the first floor the windows open and there’s no lock other than the one on the sliding window. If you are traveling alone that doesn’t feel very safe. The showers were absolutely foul. The couch in the room was so dirty that I went to Walmart and got a sheet because I didn’t even want my dog to touch it. The employees were very unprofessional. When I asked if it was possible for a late checkout the man at the desk without even looking said “if it was up to be I would say no. But I’m not gonna be here tomorrow so you gotta ask her” as he pointed to the woman who I’m assuming is the manager. She also didn’t look and told me that today they were fully booked (which doesn’t even make sense because I wasn’t checking out till the next day). Overall would rather stay in a tent on the beach than this hotel ever again.

    The only thing I liked about this property was that you can bring dogs and you stay on the first floor.
