A nice play to stay in Sarasota.
Pros:

The location is perfect, the area is full of restaurants and retail stores actually, is close to a Plaza and a mall. The staff is very polite. The breakfast included was a la carte, so you can choose between a few options like french toast, omelet and I don't remember what other options they have.

Cons:

The mattress was not the best, but other than that, the staff was great.
