We came for a great overnight stay to enjoy the 7 Paintings dining experience. Unfortunately we did have a few issues with our room due to cleanliness. The front desk staff’s willingness to help said a lot. Housekeeping needs better leadership to ensure rooms are not in the state that we found ours in.

The room was nice, I was kind of disappointed that they advertised the room having a couch outside but we got a metal table instead. The pool was nice and refreshing and the staff at the bar were nice and accommodating.
The room was nice but there were no drawers or to put our clothes except a shelf so we were living out of suitcases the entire time.
The hotel staff, however, was hard to get ahold of. I would try calling the front desk with a question, because we had to call them to turn off the fan outside, and no one would answer. There was also nothing written in the room to explain that. So I would walk to the front and no one was there. No one would hold the doors for us while we’re bringing our luggage out on the cart ourselves. The only one that was helpful was the valet. He was the only one offering us help.
Overall, the pool was the highlight.

⭐☆☆☆☆ 1 Star – Extremely Disappointing Experience for a Wheelchair User

I rarely leave negative reviews, but our stay at The Modern Sarasota was filled with issues from the moment we arrived.
To make matters even more disappointing, this was not just a random weekend stay. We stayed from Friday through Sunday as part of my birthday weekend, a surprise getaway planned by my wife. Instead of spending the weekend relaxing and celebrating, we found ourselves dealing with one issue after another. Despite all the problems we experienced, we never once received a visit, phone call, or even a simple acknowledgment from management. For a hotel that claims to value its guests, we certainly didn’t feel like valued customers. If you are a wheelchair user, have mobility challenges, or require accessible accommodations, I would strongly recommend another property altogether.

We had such a great stay at The Sarasota Modern! The hotel itself is beautiful! Very modern, clean, and had such a fun vibe from the moment we walked in. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, the pool area was amazing, and the location was perfect for exploring downtown Sarasota.
The staff was also incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Valet was easy, check-in was smooth, and everything just felt relaxing and well taken care of. It definitely felt like the perfect mix of upscale and fun.
We stayed for a special occasion and it made the whole weekend feel even more memorable. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a trendy, relaxing Sarasota getaway or staycation!

This hotel does not meet what you would expect from a Marriot. Sheets were stained. Not ok. Floor was dirty from spilled drinks obviously from previous people staying there. Bathroom was short of lighting not good for shaving and or putting makeup on. Small thing but still not a good. We paid $42 for overnight parking tipped the valet $5 and was asked if we needed help with our luggage. Really? Not an overall good look for Marriot.

We stayed one night for a NY Eve dinner and thankfully it was only one night. The staff is super friendly; the facility was decorated for the holidays and is in a good location, that makes walking an option. The one issue we had was that there was no hot water in the shower and apparently had been going on for a couple of days. We should have been made aware of the problem and maybe given us free parking.

The property has promise however, I was disappointed the restaurant was not available for dinner because of a private event.

The sleeping area was so small that my husband had to squeeze between the bed and TV to get out.

The tv was so close to the bed you couldn't even watch it.

In addition, all of the wires was hanging from behind the tv and you could not open the fridge with out opening the opposite cabinet door.

But the tea was great.

I would NEVER book again at this property !
The only thing nice was their pool.
Staff is unprofessional ,rooms are dirty ,and they don’t a specify the hidden fees.
Deposit $100
Resort fees $35 plus they change the price every time
Only Valet parking $40 (their space is behind the hotel on the street no cover)
They don’t offer self park.

My family and I stayed for 4 July weekend .
Pool area is as described in the pictures nice
But not worth luxury price.
Bathtub clogs .
Second day when we came back from the beach, the room wasn’t clean. We were disappointed. We had to make our own beds .
Not worth the price !

Great Possibilities

We were excited to stay at the Sarasota Modern. Having the valet parking was a nice touch so we knew we were in for a treat at the hotel.

Unfortunately when walking into the lobby we weren't impressed. The front desk and surrounding furniture were really rundown. The front desk had marks, chips, etc. This is a customer's first impression so you want to make it impactful. The elevators (though cool vibe with wallpaper) had a bad odor that wasn't appealing.

The room itself was very nice and comfortable. The room was what we expected.

The bar area was very nice too and the overall staff were excellent. Just a few updates would have taken this rating from a 3 to a 5.

Overall, it was a great experience - I liked it so much, I've already booked a return trip while I was staying in the hotel. However, some of the staff seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else. I had a few questions upon checking in the person behind the desk was less then enthusiastic when speaking with me. Once I was in my room, I noticed the hotel room door didn't lock; they sent someone to come fix it but he told me it wasn't broken & wouldn't really take anything else for an answer, so my entire four night stay the door was half unlocked. Later that first day, I noticed the patio door didn't lock; the hotel sent someone to fix it, which they did with gracious speed. Day two my tv wasn't working, when I called to have someone look at it they didn't have anyone available, had to wait until the next day. Day 3, tv didn't work, they sent someone to fix it. Day 4, tv didn't work, they once again sent someone to fix it. Aside from the room issues, it was a nice stay. The pool/cabanas/wink wink restaurant was great. Kelly at the pool bar is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! She really made our time at the pool wonderful, same with Jersey. I was able to meet Brittney as well, the three of them deserve a raise, really great customer service. Would recommend & plan to stay again, just hope to have less issues in the room!

The location is excellent. You can walk to Van Wezel Performing Arts Center and Marina Jack and downtown. Front desk staff was helpful. Had a King room and it was really small - narrow space between the bed and the TV. Shower was very tiny - almost impossible to take a shower without getting your hair wet. Room was supposed to be cleaned but, although we left it empty for 5 hours during the day, it was not cleaned - and we even saw the cleaning staff as we were leaving the room and said we were going out.

Understaffed, poorly ,managed

A bad check-in e experience (no clerk anywhere, no drink) started things on the wrong foot. Hidden “resort fees” of $28 per day were outrageous. Pool bar was out of wine glasses and most beer. Only one bar tender doing her best with many customers. The room was nice. The pool,area is very nice. The staff is insufficient to maintain an illusion of luxury.

There were a lot of added costs at this property. Parking $35 per day, resort fee $28 per day, extra person fee for our child $15 per day. The pool area and bartenders were the shining star of this property. Housekeeping was terrible. Our room was cleaned 1 time in the 4 days we were at the hotel. After calling and asking for service twice in one day, and being promised they would come, it never happened. The next day, we finally got the room serviced, but they did not make the bed in the loft bed. The front desk did nothing to accomodate for the issues, and informed us that management weren't around to talk to.
