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

Have to admit i was a bit nervous having read the reviews. We used priority member points and figured if it was bad, then we could go to indigo hotel. Ended up staying for 4 nights. The location couldn't be better, it's right across the road from the beach. This turned out especially good as we had a gulf view... more

This hotel used to allow local residents to visit the facilities and use the pool. Now they have firmly advertised that non-guests can only sit at the small bar area and not use any of the facilities. As a local that lives close to the hotel we have literally spent THOUSANDS of dollars at the pool bar ordering drinks and... more

Check in time was 3pm. Arrived to the hotel at 3:20pm. the structure is dated and was under construction. We accepted the look and the construction, but when we arrived to the room we found dust on the valance and walls that was an inch thick. Called front desk to request another room, however was told nothing available. Housekeeper arrived... more

Great things: The Holiday Inn Lido Beach is across the street from direct beach access at Lido Beach. It was great to get up in the morning and be able to go straight to the beach. Fantastic sunsets. Great shells, warm water, white sand, nice breeze and not that crowded. You can walk to St. Armand's circle. The staff is... more

I was a bit worried about the hotel having read some negative reviews. We were here with several other members of our family and used 3 rooms. Everything was clean and comfortable. The staff was really helpful. I loved the restaraunt and the servers there! We were able to set up an impromptu party of 15 with no notice and... more

While the location of the hotel is great, (across the street from Lido beach and within walking distance from St. Armand's Circle), the hotel itself is in poor condition. The check in was easy, (I used my Priority Club points for a quick family get-away), and was given a "deluxe room" with a city view. I was a bit disappointed... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for two nights for my husbands 30th, I emailed the manager and asked for a room on a high floor and for a fridge to be in our room. The check-in was fine, and the room was on a high floor but no fridge so I rang reception and a fridge was brought up... more
