Overall this hotel was very nice and very clean, but the hallways had an awful smell similar to that of animal urine. The smell was so bad that I couldn't help but notice it every time I had to walk down the hallway. On the contrary, the room itself had a very pleasant smell and was very nice, modern, spacious...

The suite was exceptionally comfortable and clean, and we were really happy with our stay. The included ibreakfast was really extensive and good. Our only complaint was that the walls were a little thin, but it was quiet all ngiht.

Stayed here for a week recently on a business trip. I checked in at about noon when my flight landed - then went to the office and came back at around 6pm. Tried going into my room only to find another family in there. Front desk gave me another room. The rooms are nice - clean and spacious and everything... More

The Residence Inn offered three things that are very important to me when staying at a hotel: cleanliness, affordability and excellent customer service. I found my room and the entire hotel to be immaculate. The room was very pleasant and quiet. It was set up like a studio apartment, complete with a full kitchenette, including appliances and cooking utensils. The... More

Located just south of the airport, and only half a mile east of the Ringling museum, this is a great hotel. Breakfasts are good, and the rooms large and comfortable. Friendly staff. Free parking. Only about 4 miles to downtown.

My husband and I had to stay in Sarasota for 4 days on an unexpected non-vacation medical stay. As always our preferred stay is at a Residence Inn.

We spent a week at this hotel. The suites are of the smaller Residence Inn types- but certainly comfortable. Breakfast was very standard- the same "institutional -type food every day but certainly a good way to start off. There were a couple of evening "social" hours and the food was nice and plentiful. The staff was very accommodating. The location... More

this is a lovely, quiet place to stay, even though it is adjacent to the airport. For someone trying to watch my food intake and not eat out 3 meals a day, it is ideal with the little kitchen area. The decor is simple and warm without being overpowering. The staff was very friendly and cordial. The complementary breakfast had... More
