big sign outside said internet. Once inside we were told would be an additional 6 bucks to use it for 24 hours. OK so far. Tried to connect and even walked the whole property looking for a hot spot. None to be found. I went to front desk. Had to talk to some customer service rep in India or somewhere... more

My girlfriends and I make a trip to Florida for a long weekend every year and to say the least this was not as favorable as years past. When we arrived at the Golden Host "Resort" our reservations somehow got coverted from 3 adults/2 double beds to 2 adults/1 queen bed. Now, I like my girlfriends but not that much... more

I had done much research in booking hotels for my husband, son and new dgtr-in-law on our trip to Florida. I was expecting a modest hotel, clean and functional for going to the local beaches for 3 days. DON"T take the cheapest rooms as they are in the motel seperate section and our rooms stunk of sewage and ammonia. We... more

I booked at this hotel based on the price and some positive reviews. The room was clean enough for what it is. It had very poor sound-proof walls and I could hear everything in the next room, even normal conversation (have stayed in a fair number of discount hotels/motels but never had noises this bad). Our tv remote was broke... more

I very often read TripAdvisor reviews when booking hotels, but in this case we just rolled in off the street... And I couldn't be happier that we did. The previous night we had paid a lot of money to stay in a chi-chi place that was boring as hell, and where the service staff were snotty. At the Golden Host,... more

During our tour around Florida we book the four of us into this hotel for two nights. The receptionist was not very talkative at all which was unusual, as up to this point we had only met pleasant people. Our room had a dreadful smell in it, very musty. Several lightbulbs were burnt out. The wall paper was peeling off... more

My family and I found the Golden Host Resort to be a nice, comfortable place to stay while visiting Sarasota. We had a great room which opened up to the swimming pool. Location was perfect and allowed us to be located near all the tourist attractions. more

Best place to stay. We have made this our home away from home when we drop our kids off at New College & Ringling School of Art. more

We checked out our room at the Best Western Golden Host Resort it was by far a million times better than any room we checked out before. We had previously looked at 10 other properties in the same area. The price was a little more than we wanted to spend. We mentioned this to the front desk clerk and he... more
