I would rate this establishment a 0.5 out of 5 stars if I could. While the staff is commendable, the housekeeping is inadequate. The amenities are not replenished, and there are stains on the shower curtains. The overall odor is unpleasant. Additionally, some of the food appears spoiled, resembling black cereal, and some of the juice contains an unidentified substance.

This was a last minute booking as my first one was no-show to give me the key. Location is great, if you have a car (short drive to many beaches), and is part of “Old Sarasota” (lots of hotels along that strip of road on Tamiami trail, this one being one of the more expensive ones). I stayed 1 night at the Regency Inn (less expensive motel), but switched to this one, based on listing pictures, and it’s higher price point, making it seem more highly sophisticated. I was deceived. Sadly, turned out to be lipstick on a pig. Mostly a paint job, with a few upgrades. Room claims to have a “Refrigerator”, which is a (new) dorm fridge. The coffee maker could not be used to heat water for tea or oatmeal because coffee grinds filled the spout. I had to move it to the bedside to use it because the cord didn’t reach the fully stacked power cord. However, if I only wanted my caffeine before 10am, I could get it with the continental breakfast. The bathroom sink and counter were probably older than me…, lots of peeling, worn layers, and paint drips on it. The baseboards were unfinished, The bathroom door was warped, and cracked. The AC had a remote with no batteries. The couch pillows had paint and other (???) stains on it. My bed quilt was torn and my bed sheets were stained! The privacy sign was so tattered it would fly off the door handle. Staff was friendly, but little consolation to other issues. Should have stayed at the Regency, it was undeceivingly older, but spotless!

The hotel was acceptable however the roof was being replaced during my stay and I was not informed by staff. I was woken up each morning to the noise with the worst being on Monday morning. I called the front desk as well as sent a message. The front desk did not offer any compensation for the issue. I still have not heard from the message I sent through the hotels.com help link. I ran into another group of people who were staying at the hotel and they were offered $50 for the inconvenience. I have yet to hear anything but the cost of the night was over double that.

This is the filthiest room I have ever seen - I believe it to be hourly for miscreants/you know what am saying, because makes up on sheets, someone’s clothes left behind. If I could have slept standing up I would have. Disgusting sheets, German cockroaches, dirty sheets/blanket… you should feel ashamed posting ‘WONDERFUL’ as your review. You should be fined and removed from your partnership with Expedia Hotels.
I left VERY EARLY in them morning every though I had another night. Not disappointed - DISGUSTED 💯

The staff couldn't have been nicer and our room was clean, but this is $100/night kind of property. It is the most basic of motels, with absolutely no frills. I'm OK with that, but the amount we paid to stay there was 2.5 times more what we should have paid for what we got. It is nothing the staff did wrong, but I feel that I was misled online as to what kind of property I was booking.

I am amazed that Best Western would put their brand on such a property as this. A new coat of paint on the outside does not trump ill-maintained rooms and ancient bedding. Two good things about this hotel were a very hot shower with strong spray and a cheery, helpful receptionist. However, one of the rooms assigned to our party had not even been made up that day, so had to be reassigned.
