Reviews
The hotel staff is generally friendly and helpful, with some exceptions. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and good water pressure in the showers. However, there are issues with the air conditioning and hot water in some rooms. The location is convenient, close to beaches and restaurants, but some guests find it noisy due to traffic or nearby guests. The price is reasonable for the value provided.

Expedia requested handicap room. There was no closet. There was a refrigerator, coffee machine, blow dryer and iron. Room was set at 74 temp and couldn’t be changed. Old motel but kept nice. Solid walls.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in a kitchenette - loved the separate sitting area! Kitchen area was functional, but basic. I forgot to let them know that the back burner on the stovetop was not working while we were there. The beds were comfy and the shower was hot. great A/C. Shelley and Lucy were wonderful at cleaning whenever we needed it, and supplying us with fresh towels and supplies. We enjoyed the outdoor pool. There are tables w/umbrellas and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. Nice landscaping. This is an older motel, but clean and maintained for guests' comfort. It was an economical place to stay comfortably and safely.

The young man that I spoke to prior to check-in at the office was very polite and friendly. The hotel room was definitely no frills (we knew that when we booked it, so no problem) and seemed reasonably clean, except for the bathtub/shower. There were several black hairs on the drain plate and the tub just didn't look clean overall. That grossed me out immediately. We didn't complain but wouldn't recommend it or stay there again because of it.

It’s an older motel that has a moldy smell. However, the room was clean and the gentleman in the office was very nice. We had to check in late-after the office was closed-but the office person texted me the information I needed to get into the room without issue.

Excellent value. It's an older motel and furniture is outdated. It was clean and sufficient. I would stay here again.

We were looking for a room at a high traffic time of memorialday weekend. So priced were inflated. We also needed two rooms. Most places were sold out. Regency was at a location where we wanted and somewhat reasonably priced ( almost $300 for the two rooms ) Cleanliness: both rooms smelled like intense cleaning products. Like an overkill trying to cover up other smells. The room was dirty. ( Floor was sticky, cups were left in the room from previous stay. There were also stains on the shower curtain that I don't even want to imagine what that was, plus the water wouldn't drain properly in the shower.) The beds and especially pillows were beyond uncomfortable. Hardly slept. Oh and it was advertised as Queen beds. They were full. More false advertisement. A plus; the property was kept quiet after 10pm. If the price was half of this.. I would say it's justified, but for the price I'd recommend not staying here. We felt dirty after leaving

Hotel does not look like in the pictures. The room smelled horrible and we ended up staying at another hotel due to that. Did not feel safe whatsoever is another reason why we left. Do not recommend this hotel for anyone.

The Elder man at Front desk was rude and kind off seem racist he was always watching everything actually made us feel very uncomfortable and our kids ran to pool door we were behind them and he barged out from the office stating that they had to be acompanie by an adult which we very well knew and even read the signs. I was very very disappointed but where it was located was convinent. I dont think i will ever stay here again .

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Loved the old charm Florida vibes. We felt it was a safe and convenient area. Nice seating space outside with beautiful tiled tables. The room and bedding was fresh and clean. It was nice having a shower with hot, strong water pressure, which was great! Loved having the spacious living room and kitchen with small dining table. There were a few things that need updating, but overall it was a pleasant stay and would stay again.

Room was very clean and well maintained. Appointments were basic, but very functional. For the cost, as a "last minute" solution, it was very good. Again, for the cost, not much more should be expected. This property was likely built in the 1960's as a motel and has held it's "old school" charm in that regard. The guests (we saw) were kind and the area was ok, even at night.

The room was nice and spacious! The kitchen was a plus and u have utensils and everything u need to prep a meal. Tv in the room and the living room. When we got there the person who clean the room just finished cleaning the room. Only thing i didnt like it was the one pillow case had stains of blood. It was the extra pillow in the shelf but I think it was disgusting and unsanitary. They need to be more careful with details.

Our room had a kitchen and a seperate area with a sofa sleeper. Housekeeping came every day and did a wonderful job. The only cons were that it's off a main road which can be noisy at night, and there were some questionable people staying in the motel and constantly walking through the parking lot to go to the liquor store next to it. Theres an outdoor pool and washer and dryer, if needed. My kids prefer to stay here when we visit Sarasota and will be back.

A decent place for who looking for a room with kitchen. You will have 2 rooms: 1. Kitchen with fridge with freezer (full size, not big), couch, TV and small table with 2 chairs. 2. Bedroom (mine was 2 double beds). There is bathroom next to the bed room. It’s a bit old but kept clean in acceptable level. Bath tub is okay, but prefer not to bathe (it’s not that clean). There are silverware for 3-4 people. Large size plates (5-6 maybe) soup bowl (2-3), glass cup for drink (2-3), pans, pots and kitchenwares but some of them looked a bit old condition but you can cook with. They changed the bed sheet 1 time while staying there for 6nights. They do daily clean up and you can ask anything you need for dish soap, scrub sponge, toaster, etc. overall it’s acceptable level for the price. Very close to Saratosa downtown, 5mins to Whole Foods. 1 min to Walmart grocery. Good location quiet area in night time.

Lots of room, big living room. Beds were ok. Rooms need a proper cleaning, and update. In this day and age how hard is it to get clean accommodations. There is no excuse, terrible housekeeping staff and poor property management. Worst part - The bathroom Dirty/stained bedding, towels, wash cloths. Dirty/moldy bathroom, was a used face cloth in the shower..disgusting. Hair on the walls and floor. dirty/moldy caulking throughout. rusty, nasty fixtures. toilet seat looked like you could get a disease if you sat on it...how hard is it to get a $20 toilet seat? nasty smell from the bathroom when using water, plumping/septic issue.

Very convenient to Ringling School of Art and Design, which we were there for. The room was very clean. The AC had auto shut off which made it very hard to sleep as the room got very humid, and the pillows were beyond thin. We had to request an extra set of towels (three staying in the room) and got a snarky answer that the room would be cleaned, well, we didn’t have three on arrival, and the cleaner had already been by. So yes, my request for a third bath towel was reasonable. Our TV didn’t work. Found this out at 7:00 pm. Someone stopped by and said they didn’t know what was going on, maintenance had gone home for the day, they would talk to them the next day. Never heard back. Ended up watching shows on my phone. The beds were also very hard, even with no smoking there were burn holes in the comforter. We were supposed to be there for three nights. Ended up leaving at 6:00 pm of our last day, with a 17 hr drive home there was no way we were going to sleep comfortably enough to ensure a safe trip home. Ended up knocking out some hours of our trip and found a VERY comfortable and cool hotel in another town. While the hotel wasn’t “bad” it wouldn’t be my choice when we come back to Sarasota. If you are fairly close by and need an inexpensive place for a few days it’s doable, but if you need to ensure good rest for a long drive I wouldn’t recommend it.

The only staff was the person I checked in with. Nice enough but couldn’t tell me where there was an ice cream parlor nearby The room was clean enough. It should be updated. It got stuck in the 60’s. This was a king size suite. For some reason, was stocked with one facecloth. I would not return.

This is a motel near the beach. It’s an older property and maybe some rooms are more updated. The room I was in was not the same as the photos. There were horizontal blinds but no curtains to help block the lights. The gentleman that checked me in was very pleasant and was available to help with whatever. Good choice if you are looking for a motel.

Stayed one night while working in Sarasota. Room wasn't anything special. If you're familiar with the Jersey Shore it is similar to a classic beach hotel without a beach in walking distance. Not the cleanest, not filthy either. Bed was comfortable, sheets could be updated. Served its purpose.

The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed for a relaxing visit. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to the Sarasota airport, local restaurants, shops, and the beautiful Sarasota beaches. It made getting around the area simple and stress-free. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I checked in, and they were always helpful whenever I had a question. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay. I appreciate the hospitality and would definitely consider staying here again the next time I’m in Sarasota. There was nothing I would change about my stay; they only missed cleaning my room one day, but it was resolved quickly.

Now a bigger problem: My friend needed a first floor room - her companion can't do stairs - they stayed there 3 weeks previously and were promised a first floor room when they returned - even gave them a room number. When checking in (around 3:30) they were told there were no first floor rooms and put them on the second floor. If they didn't want it he would return their money. He was very rude about it, no "I Then I checked in and they me a first floor room!

NastyWhen arrived in the sketchy neighborhood I had a gut feeling I was going to regret making reservations here. At check in the guy was unfriendly asked me if I had pets or smoked I said no. He mustn't believed me he asked 2 more times I said no pets & I haven't taken up smoking yet! Now I was annoyed. Got into the room the stench of something was so strong. Immediately checked for bed bugs ...didnt see any but the mattress wasnt in a mattress case, the bed spread had a bunch of stains on it. The toilet ran all night. Didn't use the toilet til morning and it didnt work. Bathroom sink you had to pull out the drain thing for water to go down and it had someone's hair stuck to it. Bathroom was full of mildew... GROSS. Definitely overpriced.

My wife and daughter arrived late due to delayed flights caused by weather, which isn’t the fault of the hotel but when you get in in the early hours of the morning and hope to get to bed the last thing you wanna see are human fluid stains on your bed covers. But that’s what they got and we had to find a new hotel in the middle of the night. The establishment took responsibility and offered a full refund to Expedia so I’ve gotta sort through that now.

Toilet paper holder is rusty, Floor squeaks like there is no tomorrow, the mattress is not comfortable very springy, bed frame makes noise because it’s out of metal, a very cheap metal, shower wasn’t hot just lukewarm, and smells like they tried to clean it with bleach, but it wasn’t dirty. Just a weird smell. Don’t know exactly what it could be but it just didn’t smell good. I will never stay at this place again and I don’t recommend anyone to, but that’s on you if you decide to.

Everything was ok, it wasn’t super clean. Crumbs on couch and counter, hair on different areas on bathroom. Some of the dishes were not clean thoroughly. The only thing that did bother me was the shower drain was clogged. Every time the water would rise a lot, I had to turn off and on water whenever I used it. I even bought drano and it still didn’t unclog it. The price was really good and although some stuff need to be updated and fix properly overall it wasn’t terrible neither that great just average.

The room was spacious and clean. The staff was attentive. Since we were there for a couple of days, we did notice more wear and tear than what appeared at first glance. A lot of rusted metal - shower head and drain, lamps, etc. The bed was comfortable but creaked badly. Black out curtains would be very helpful since the lights outside the window were so bright it was quite light inside at night. I appreciated the full mini fridge and freezer that actually kept our food cold. The kitchen was very helpful with the stove top and sink. The television reception and internet were both adequate. Outside, the place doesn't look like much, but for the price it was good. Some aspects were great, and others - took the water forever to heat for ex. were not. Overall it was worth it.

DO NOT STAY HERE. I booked two family members who were traveling down from Ohio two separate rooms based on "good" reviews from Expedia. When they arrived after driving all day from Ohio, I was informed that they found bedbugs in the corner of the mattress and both rooms smelled of mildew. The second room had a bare light switch exposed in the bathroom, and the toilet would not flush. After speaking with the front desk, my family members were told they would be refunded, since they were not comfortable staying there and had to go to a different hotel up the street. My brother was told the refund would appear in a couple of days. No refund was ever issued. Expedia was also no help and said the property refused to refund the rooms. $800 wasted because this hotel refused a refund on rooms that are not inhabitable. Disgusting and unethical.

But the direct tv was horrible, it would play maybe 30 seconds of the show then freeze for a few minutes, and the sky was perfectly clear. Several small issues like curtain in bedroom not fully covering the window, toilet handle would rotate all the way around which would not let the back fill up again "had to open the back to figure out what happened had to manually hold the handle down partially then lift it up again, burn hole in blanket on bed, no outlet cover in bathroom, bathroom was small. The bed mattress was decent and a/c worked well, kitchenette was prettty good. All in all i would say it is a decent value for the price and the office clerk was nice.

This place was one of my top five to stay at untill yesterday evening. I booked a room only to be told after I paid for it that I wasn't allowed to stay there anymore. When asked why at first the old geezer wouldn't it tell me until about 6 to 10 times later after me asking him again why that was and why was I not notified of anything when the last time I left if there was a problem and of course no good answer because they didn't have one but anyways towards the very end I was no longer allowed there because supposedly there was a hole in the sheet somewhere 😏😂😂 like seriously this place is so ridiculous I haven't smoked a cigarette and over 10 years so yeah this place can kiss my ass and it's not that great it was just wasn't as bad as all the other ones around there but it's bad now so 🖕

What? "Come out maam." I opened the door a crack and I said i am not dressed. I just got here. What is needed? And he says. "Get dressed maam come out." I got clothed and went to the door opened it and asked... what is the problem? You just gave me this room. I have already paid. What is wrong? And he is the same that helped check me in. He says...today? For 2 nights? I said. No for one night. "Oh sorry sorry. It is fixed" and he leaves. Later i asked for a late check out and was told No. They dont care of the inconvenience of having had me scared that someone else was able to get the key and check in for the same room. Rhey also didnt care about rhe inconvenience of wasting my first hour of relaxation. Not good business. Make sure to take your own towel to the pool or you can buybone for ten bucks at the office 😆 What i did like... spaciousness of the suite. Almost cleanliness... someones tissue was still under the side table.

Only that I wasn't impressed with was the clerk at check in

I knew this was an older, more quaint hotel so I was prepared for it to be a little run down, have a certain smell, etc. The room was clean-ish. The smell of overpowering cleaning supplies told me they were trying to cover up the old smoke smell that lives in the hotel. We had a lizard and mosquitoes in our room, ok - not too big of a deal, we're in FL. Our air conditioner quit working. I called the front desk and after Bill looked at it for 30 minutes he tried to mansplain that it was cutting off because the table was in the way...eyeroll. He offered us another room. Once we got into that room the smell from the people smoking outside was coming in. Once again, I called the front desk and told him we could no longer stay and needed a refund. At midnight, and after dealing with the AC issues for an hour, Bill told me I was being "ridiculous." Look, I get things happen that are out of your control, but not having AC in FL is not being "ridiculous." Bill, you really should find another job if you think people being able to sleep in a smoke-free and cool environment is being "ridiculous."

There's no on-site restaurant, so we either went out to eat, got some food from nearby markets to keep since our room had a kitchenette, or got take-out. The king bed was nice in appearance and comfortable. Housekeeping is not daily, and upon request only. I would stay here again if visiting the area in the future.

The hotel is simple, but it offers great value for money. The bathtub drain was quite rusty, as was the clothes rack—I believe due to the sea air. But the beds were good, and the shower was nice (the bathroom was small, but adequate). There was also Wi-Fi that worked well. I found it very good for the price, perfect for spending a night and resting before hitting the road.

The images do NOT portray how the rooms ACTUALLY look. The beds were covered in stains. The bathroom water made the loudest high pitched ringing. I did not enjoy my stay at all. The beds were uncomfortable. Couldn’t sleep the entire night because I was tossing and turning just to get comfortable. I will not be returning.

The location and hotel together were great! My complaint was the rudeness of the man working the front desk. I don’t know if he’s the owner or if he just works there but he was very rude over the phone the day before check in when I had a question and the same man was rude again the next day when we arrived.

I was blamed for the explosion of a prehistoric microwave - returned to room from an hour or so out and met by noxious fumes so bad I had to stand outside while firemen ate called. No room is offered me - I am told to ‘open the windows and air it out. In town for daughter’s 4 yr college graduation with honors. I am not stupid and was treated like a criminal. I am going to open a case for investigation as the windows I was instructed to open did NOT open. Can you say call the fire inspector before I burn alive in your crap hotel. Here I come, ready or not.

The room offered a sitting room and kitchenette which great. The TV did not work, the blinds were broken so there are gaps open to the outside. The beds are amazing. There were insects (flea-like jumping bugs??) in the bathroom. The room was spacious and checked all the boxes but very outdated and could use a cosmetic touch up. Ample parking and staff/ check-in was great and house keeping was good.

Kitchenette had bath cloth for dish towel and used dish detergent with torn up sponge. Bathtub drained looked like mold and all fixtures were old. Sofa was old and raveling. Was charged extra $110 and was given itemized bill even after asking for it. Room was hot all night. Would not recommend a stay there. Look like an old apartment, no pictures or any decoration.

Rooms are great... clean, you do get what you see which is rare. This is a budget Inn...and the rooms are comfortable, well maintained and clean. No carpets which kept my sinuses clear. Amazing! The staff is welcoming and super nice. I really have no complaints..I didn't pay 500 a night so my expectations were low and they definitely over deliver. The area is convenient. There is a drug store near by. I wouldn't be walking around at night but I wasn't worried about my safety. Thank you for taking me on short notice and accommodating my needs. Would definitely stay again.

We had a quick overnight stay. Easy to find. On main road, so easy to get places. Cute, renovated motel. Easy Check in. Small pool area near road. We asked for ground floor room as there were many stairs to get to the 2nd level. Room and bathroom were clean. 2 double beds. Clean & comfy. NO road noise. Brand new bathroom vanity. New flooring. Small refrigerator with small freezer. Small microwave. Lots of cupboards, but NOTHING in them. No dishes, mugs, or silverware. So bring your own!!! Clean, inexpensive accomodations with refund policy for short stays.

This is a great place to stay off 41. The rooms are large with full kitchen. It is an older property, but the important pieces have been updated: comfy bed, nice hard surface flooring, and great little kitchen. I would definitely stay again if needed , but like all hotels, inns or motels in the area it's overpriced. It's not the hotel's fault it's just the insanity of pricing lately. $160-185 (with taxes) for this older inn/motel off a busy road is ridiculous and this was one of the cheapest options in area!

The reviews I had read applauded amenities like utensils and dishes to use with the microwave oven and fridge. None of those were in this room - it did have coffee supplies, 2 styrofoam cups and 2 thin plastic cups. It had a bar of soap and a little tube of shampoo at the sink. There was nothing in the shower and no facial tissue. I was there on business and had to leave early and return at 9 PM, when I went to the front office to ask if I could change rooms. The office door was locked and there was no one there. The bad smell and poor maintenance are inexcusable at any price. The bare-bones provisions would be OK if this room was inexpensive, but at over $200 per night with taxes, it was not.

But, the units are not in good shape. Blown outlets, missing towel bars, and a shower curtain rod that is five seconds away from pulling out an enormous chunk of plaster. But what just ruined my stay was the noise. Being a lower unit, naturally there was a group above me. At 0500, I was awakened (and I sleep like the dead) by what sounded like a dozen bass drums being played at once: It was the timpani effect of the uncarpeted floor above me. "How many times do people need to walk from the living room to the bathroom?" I asked myself, after half an hour of this. Eventually I concluded that, based on the booming sound, the upstairs unit must be housing some hefty construction workers, all over 250 lbs. Well, no. I peeked out to see them load their car, and it was a Mom with two tweens. The three of them together couldn't have weighed 250 lbs. Once they were gone, the place was silent, but I'd now been awake for two hours and it was time to get up. If you MUST stay here, get a 2nd floor unit.

We just needed a place to sleep for the night due to a festival at the UTC Mall. There were 4 of us staying, we only had 2 towels which sucked, so we had to share wet towels so we can shower. It was 10:30pm when we checked in and there wasn't anyone in the office and no housekeeping to ask for extra items. Breakfast place was basic. Its the little things that count and we didn't get it from here. I wouldn't come back for the price we payed just for a couple hours of sleep.

We've stayed here last year, and my wife insisted that we stay again this year. We were in Sarasota for a Conference and this location is perfect for our needs.

The room was a nice size with plenty of room, which was nice. The overall room was so humid, which made everything feel "wet" (floor, couch, beds). The coffee maker had mold in the water filter so we never used it. The living room TV service kept shutting off. The first time I asked the office to fix, the second time I just let it go. There was also no hairdryer in the room, so make sure to bring one if needed. The price was good for what was received for 2 nights stay.

The hotel is nice the room is nice but not appointed as the display picture shows. The kitchen could use a little more cleaning details. TV in the living room didn't work and the remote wouldn't work either then back was on it but had broken clips. The TV in the bedroom worked but the entire back was missing and the batteries kept falling out. The fire/smoke alarm was wrapped in clear plastic which I didn't realize until right before checkout Room 222. The office had a horrible smell which would take your breath away. It smelled like they were cooking food in the back office area and smelled of curry and onions.
