Stay on the 1st floor
Pros:

Location was good. Easy to reach Siesta Key, mote aquarium and close to lots of other attractions.

Cons:

Felt like the owner only posted pictures of rooms on the 1st floor that have been renovated to attract customers then he gave us a room on the second floor which have not been renovated. Our room smelled like mold and had an old carpet. When we tried to cancel our reservation, the owner wanted to charge us the full amount as the cancellation fee. I also didn’t like that he sent us a message asking to call and tell him when we are arriving. I’m on vacation… I’ll arrive whenever I arrive and as a hotel owner, you should simply be ready to check us in before 11pm.

Für 2 Nächte ein gutes Hotel!
Pros:

Die Betreiber und Mitarbeiter waren sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Es war alles sauber! Pool sehr schön und sauber. Preis-,Leistung war gut. Ein paar Abstriche muss man da machen.

Cons:

Die Lage ist nicht so gut. Es ist ein typisches Viertel in der Nähe des Flughafens.

Man merkt leider dass es ein altes Motel ist, welches mal renoviert wurde. Zustand mittelmäßig und Klimaanlage sehr laut.

Frühstück nicht viel Auswahl. Vor allem was Belag aufs Brot angeht. Es hab nur Butter, Peanutbutter und Marmelade.

Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Stay in Sarasota – Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient
My husband and I had a very pleasant stay at the SureStay Hotel by Best Western Sarasota Lido Beach. We were in Sarasota for a short business trip, and the hotel met our needs very well.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and had a very positive experience. Our suite was very clean, organized, and comfortable, and everything was working perfectly. We truly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and the overall condition of the room.
The hotel is a great option for anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and reasonably priced place to stay in Sarasota. The parking was also very convenient and easy to access, which made our stay even better.
We were very satisfied with our experience and would definitely consider staying here again on a future visit to Sarasota. We would gladly recommend it to other travelers!

Pros:

Es war alles vorhanden, was man zum übernachten benötigt.

Cons:

Das Motel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen.
Das Frühstücksangebot war sehr klein.
Wir haben schon in anderen Best Western Motels übernachtet, da war die Auswahl angemessen.
