Golden Host Resort - Sarasota
Nice and clean room right, comfortable bed and decent amenities for the price. I liked the old Florida feel with exposed wood beams in the ceiling and vibrant colors. Conviently tucked away right off 41 near all the great amenities and beaches. Solid place to stay that isn't a Cookie cutter ...
