Hotels Near Brant's Used Books in Sarasota

The lady at the front desk when we arrived was so sweet and welcoming. We had an issue with our rooms air conditioner and she made a room change possible even though they were sold out. It took her all off five mins to solve the problem for us. She was fantastic what great customer service !

Was looking specifically for property with 2 separate BR/BA and ”kitchen”. Location is right across from SRQ. The front desk staff was fantastic--so friendly with a ”can do” attitude (the staff at The Modern and Art Ovation could take lessons from these folks). Room was very spacious and comfortable. Lighting is too dim in the kitchen and needs stronger bulbs. Good refrig with automatic ice maker. Cookware must be 10 years old--at least invest in non-stick or provide steel wool pads to do dishes. Kitchen did not have a baking pan but staff found one in 5 minutes and also supplied me with aluminum foil. Very easy to cook basic meals there. Lot's of outlets to plug in electronics and work areas. Pool area furniture is filthy and old--wouldn't want to touch any of it. Needs new hairdryers. The smoke detector went off every time I dried my hair. Grill looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months so that wasn't an option. Property has complimentary basic breakfast. All in all, great team and great location. Not fancy in any way but really met our needs

This hotel is ready for the wrecking ball. Serious problems with electrics. Several sockets in room216 not working. Coffee maker not working. Elevator not working( we were offered a room on the ground floor when checking in for a four day stay but assured the elevator would be fixed by the following day )I prefer a high floor so opted for second floor. Elevator was out of order for duration of my stay.Ice machine out of order on second floor. Pool advertised on Bonvoy app hotel description as heated.It isn't. It rained during my stay and the corridor on the GROUND floor flooded.Carpet was wet for duration of stay and ceiling tiles removed. A pervasive smell of dampness and mould in the room and a dehumidifier was provided indicating that this is an ongoing problem. We had a walk in shower rather than a bath which was great if it hadn't been filthy. We opted for our room to be cleaned.This wasn't done and we had to seek out cleaners to remove rubbish.No clean towels provided or replenishment of limited amenities. Go elsewhere.

Very convenient location, quiet despite being opposite the Sarasota Airport, and room itself was very comfortable. Definitely enjoyed staying here! Only thing is the gym did not have towels and equipment wipes despite having the shelves and a wipe dispenser, and despite having notified the front desk twice these issues were not dealt with during my 7 day stay. Other than that everything was good.

Located in the Lido Bay of Sarasota, the hotel is close to the island's shopping and leisure area and has a beautiful environment. It is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. The hotel has a private beach, because there is red algae pollution during this time, there is no sea. Before the stay, the hotel will remind you to confirm whether you want to stay. The room has a large fridge and simple kitchenware, a microwave and a dishwasher, perfect for cooking.

The location is very nice and the staffs are very friendly and accommodating! Only the hallway in our floor were sprayed out with disinfectant smelly. But all overview, we are very satisfied with this booking. We really enjoyed this weekend.

I booked the hotel for one night, no breakfast included because I wanted to have breakfast with some friends at a restaurant nearby the next morning. The difference between breakfast included or not was 20 dollars. On my way there I realized they had added what I thought was the breakfast fee on my debit card to the total pending transaction. During check in they told me that Breakfast was Included and showed me the menu and times, so I didn't have any reason to doubt that the extra 20 dollars they had charged me was the breakfast fee. I didn't wanna make a big deal about it so I didn't say anything and just called my friends and we arranged to meet at dinner instead. Next morning when I was ready to have breakfast they told me that they made a mistake and breakfast was not included and when I told them about the extra charge on my debit card they explained to me that the extra 20 dollars was for incidental charges in case if I decided to use other amenities or services and not for breakfast. What a coincidence that the breakfast fee was the same amount as the incidental charges. They did remove the extra 20 dollars during check out but I ended up having a very mediocre super expensive breakfast there because it was already too late to call my friends and change plans again. Instead of 20 dollars I had to pay almost 50 for breakfast at a place that I didn't plan to have breakfast in the first place and they tricked me to do so.

The room is a bit small

Everything about this place is top notch 5 star quality except the breakfast. The quality of the breakfast does not match the quality of the hotel and staff. Once you check out at 10am you get an extended day pass that gives you the same full access to the resort just minus the room and that alone is well worth every penny spent. This is absolutely the best way to go especially if your splitting amongst 4 people.
