Cons:

Der Preis war mir persönlich zu hoch .meiner Meinung nach würde es auch die Hälfte langen.
1 Nacht für 2 Personen ohne Frühstücken 215.-Dollar ist schon ein stolzer Preis..

Enjoyed a charming stay with cozy, old-school accommodations at the Retreat Boutique Hotel in Sarasota.
Pros:

The accommodations were charming and full of quaint, old-school character, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The on-site café was a standout—delicious food, great coffee, and clearly made with care. The location was convenient yet peaceful, and the staff was warm and welcoming. A lovely boutique hotel experience we’d happily recommend!

Cons:

Everything was great.

Got what we paid for
Pros:

The Reserve Retreat is in a great location, close to everything.

Cons:

The bathroom has no ventilation making the floors in the room wet, the part of the floor that is wood is ruined. One part was cracked and the tile was chipped definitely didn't want to step on that with bare feet. The stairs to the room were so steep, there is no light switch at the top of the stairs. So the light from the little hallway shines in the door unless you chose to traverse the stairs with your cell phone flashlight. You can hear everything from the streets, and right outside. The Retreat is on a very busy street so be prepared to hear cars all night long. We left one night early, so we could sleep.

Will book again
Pros:

Greatly appreciate the owner waiting for my very late check-in. Inspite of a small snag during the check in, which was resolved in a timely manner, the stay was extremely enjoyable.

Acceptabel. That s it.
Pros:

Er is een separate ontbijtlocatie in het gebouw. Staat overigens los van de kamer. Ditzelfde met het Italiaans restaurant onder onze kamer. Antonio kan heerlijk koken. Beetje gedateerd allemaal .. maar acceptabel.

Cons:

Kamer werd niet dagelijks schoon gemaakt. Dat is niet zo erg wanneer je dat van te voren weet. Eigenaresse kwam wel heel vriendelijk nieuwe handdoeken brengen. Je bent niet in een standaard kamer .. dat is leuk ,, de boel moet echter wel beter onderhouden worden.

Cons:

Nothing

Comfortable beds, original, great location & value for money
Pros:

Quirky, original hotel. Nice personal touches, water, coffee, wine 😀.

Cons:

Finding the rooms were a little difficult with self check in. Signs directing you to the specific rooms would be good.
