Loved access to restaurant bar & snacks in lobby. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable.
Pros:

I bought yogurt for breakfast and the hotel location was perfect. It was within walking distance to what I needed.

Cons:

Would have liked a microwave and non paper coffee cups that don't leak. I used the same cup twice and it started leaking after I left the room with it.

Buena
Pros:

El hotel es muy lindo y muy bien ubicado para esa hermosa ciudad. Ambientes cómodos y muy buen lounge.

Cons:

El tema está con parte del personal que es bastante parco y con poca voluntad de comunicación para gente que no habla inglés. No entiendo porque alguien de conserjería o valet parking, que deberían tener algo de capacitación para esos puestos, no intenta comunicarse con gente de habla hispana, parecería que no les importa demasiado.

Room was clean and comfortable.
Hotel was located within walking distance of restaurants, market and entertainment.

Bed seemed a bit smaller than the promised King...
Super light on the bedding, quality seemed a bit reduced from our last stay at Aloft.
Please, get the refrigerator out of the bathroom area!!

We will not stay at an Aloft again
Pros:

Cleanliness and the friendly female bartender and the friendly women at the desk

Cons:

Our room was in the corner looking out at a wall. That was depressing. There was only one chair in the room to sit on and it was uncomfortable.

Hotel moderno y buena ubicación en Sarasota
Pros:

Me gustó mucho su ubicación, al lado de Main street y de Bayfront park. A 10’ en coche de Lido beach y 20’ de Siesta Key.
El hotel en sí está muy bien. Es moderno, las habitaciones amplias, camas muy cómodas y la zona del baño está muy baño está muy bien.
Me gustó mucho el gran gimnasio que tiene.
El área de la piscina bastante bien cuidada, lo que es la piscina muy limpia.
Abajo en recepción, tienen para jugar al billar y juegos de mesa.
Y ofrecen desayuno, aunque es a la carta y podría mejorar la oferta.
Que hay lavandería para huéspedes de autoservicio.

Cons:

No me gustó, la actitud de una de las chicas que atendía en recepción, mi inglés es no es muy bueno, pero estando de cara al público no puedes poner malas caras. El resto si que tuvieron una buena actitud.
Tampoco me gustó que no hicieran la limpieza de la habitación, aunque te dan toallas de cambio. He de decir que estuve dos noches, igual con más si la hacen (no lo sé)

Pros:

Location was great.

Cons:

The doors make a lot of noise. There were people entering their room at 1-2am and you can hear the slam of the doors. Also during my last night there were kids running up and down the hallway upstairs. The pool is on the 8th floor so that was annoying

Das Hotel ist für einen Aufenthalt in Sarasota sehr zu emfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist optimal. Die Main Street ist nur wenige Blocks entfernt, somit sind Restaurant und Bars in nur 5 Minuten zu Fuss zu erreichen.

Cons:

Leide keine Parkpätze vorhanden. 25 US für eine Nacht ist teuer. Zudem war am morgen beim Auschecken nur eine Person da, die die Autos aus der Garage holte. 20 Min Wartezeit.....
