Stayed for 2 nights for a business conference. The Holiday Inn Lido Beach is in a prime location if you want to spend time on the beach enjoying the Gulf and it is located very close to the circle with lots of shops and a good choice of restaurants. The hotel is suffering a bit from age. There are two... more

Some reviewers have claimed that this hotel is run-down. I don't agree. Altough it is obvious that it wasn't built yesterday, everything works fine and it's clean and good sized rooms. Staff is extremely helpfull. Restaurant isn't the best - but it does have it's merits that the kids eat free of charge. Views of the sunset over the Gulf... more

rea hotel, nice location. We had a 6th floor room on the ocean side, magnificent view of the sunset. The parking lot was fine but there seemed a lot of steps from the parking lot to the lobby (there is a ramp). The restaurant has a wonderful view and a great sunset deal where most items on the menu are... more

Perfect hotel to stay if you want nice quiet white sand beach. The beach is so clean and quiet. Hotel is not a five star but staff makes it feel like one, they are very nice and friendly. The bar is not big but a perfect hang out for a nice sunset view with nice bartender Chris and mixes good... more

This was our second stay at this hotel. It was the 4th of July weekend and the weekend of the powerboat races and we knew this when booking our vacation. check in was easy except the woman checking us in was rude and snapped at me when I asked her a question, I bit my tongue and avoided her after... more

For the past 5 years my wife and I have a 'road trip' around the Gulf Coast and always stay in IHG properties using priority points that I accumulate from my 70+ business nights per year here in the UK. We stayed in the HI Lido Beach IN 2008 for 2 nights and my good lady LOVED it. The view,... more

The hotel and rooms itself are very typical Holiday Inn fare. We had a 2 queen room and it was fine as far as cleanliness, size and comfortable beds. The real reason I would recommend this hotel is location: 1) The beach is right across the street and is clean, spacious and had tons of seashells to be found. You... more

This was our 8th trip to the Holiday Inn and it will be our last. The location is perfect but the Hotel is not! We arrived with our 2 children ages 3 and 7 months and checked in only to find we were placed in one of the smallest rooms I have ever been in. We have stayed here before... more

My wife and I, along with our 10 year old daughter, recently spent 5 nights at the hotel, and from our initial check in with the girls at reception, we all enjoyed our stay as they set the tone for the service level which was excellent for our whole vacation in Sarasota, both Emily & Jennifer, on reception, were very... more
