Golden Host Resort - Sarasota

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for three days to attend an event in the area. The location is very close to the airport, which was convenient for me. The staff were friendly, and the room was clean. One downside was that the shower curtain was a little too short, so water tended to splash onto the bathroom floor. I don’t usually stay at motels, so I can’t compare it to others, but they did provide shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. However, there was no toothpaste or body soap, so if you’re planning to stay, make sure to bring your own."

Siesta Key Beach Resort and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay!! Mother/daughter trip - we stayed in a beautiful poolside room which was glorious to wake up and have coffee poolside under the hut☕️☀️The staff was fantastic!! We put our basket of towels out in the morning to have clean towels delivered quickly. We did a full housekeeping day mid week, which is done upon request. Communication was done by texting and always answered promptly. The extra amenities available being able to stop by the office, always greeted with a smile and pick up extra bottled water no limit coffee ice for the cooler that was provided wagons and beach chairs alsoprovided. The beach is a five minute walk and worth every step! We will definitely be back!!!"

Tropical Beach Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Tropical Beach Resorts in Siesta Key. The location couldn't be better — our suite was only about 300 feet from the beach access, which made trips to the sand and surf effortless. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Daily housekeeping was a nice touch — fresh towels, bed made, trash taken out — it made the stay feel effortless. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout. Would absolutely recommend and would stay here again. Great value for a beachfront-style vacation."

Spark by Hilton Sarasota Siesta Key Gateway

4/10 Poor

"I can’t think of much good to say about this motel besides the 24/7 coffee available in the lobby and the pool was nice. The front desk staff was also very nice and accommodated any requests for new towels, sheets, etc. That said, the room was very dreary, old looking, and stale smelling and there was not even a safe in the room to store valuables. The towels had stains on them. The tv remote had awful connection to the tv so i had to click the button several times from several different angles to get it to work. The water pressure in both the sink and shower were terrible and there was an odd smell that came from the shower after we turned it on. There was “love bugs” all over the property which is out of their control bc they are all over sarasota, however, the door had gaps so several of the bugs entered our room. Also, the window of the rooms point directly out at the exterior hall so dont plan to ever open your blinds and get natural light in the room bc anyone walking past your room will clearly see into your window. House keeping did not do a good job at all. The bed was also hard as a rock. i had to stand in the shower to get the door to close in the bathroom bc it was so small and the lock didnt even work. The continental breakfast was just stale bagels, muffins, cereal, and oat meal and was all unappetizing. The speed bumps in the parking lot were violent at even just 2 mph. Dirty motel vibes and not what i expected from a Hilton. Idk why Hilton associates with this"
